    Greetings All, Hatcher did an experiment setting of a shot shell sitting on top of some cloth over a bar of soap. He was testing what would happen if a shotshell went of in someones shirt pocket. He...

    Greetings All, Have just been up to my bench to put a couple of rounds through my new to me No1 .303. It is close to centre at 60 metres so will do a final zero at the range on Sunday. ome Grandpa...

    Greetings All, To me the fact that the label has been peeled of by someone is a big jangly warning sign. If the cannister has been opened then it contains powderous anonamous and should be disposed...

    Greetings Tikka7mm08, That looks wierd. Some more info would help like: How are you sizing the cases? How long are tey before trimming? How long has the ring been there? Do the cases chamber...

    Greetings again Joe Schmo. Just some observations. Your kids are probably thrashing the 10-22 right now but soon they will want to move up. That won't be to a 7mm Rem Mag and shouldn't be to a .308...

    Greetings, AR2213C is far too slow for the 7mm-08. GPM.

    BSA270 liked post by grandpamac On thread : Can twist rate be too fast?
    In practical terms the answer is no. I doubt if you can spin the 125 grain pills fast enough to fall to bits in your 16.5 inch barrel. There is a persistant myth that projectiles become less accurate...

    Moa Hunter liked post by grandpamac On thread : Ring/groove at base of case shoulder
    Greetings again, I think it is a fold rather than a cut. I also wonder if the badly scraped neck is somehow related. The neck just should not look like that after sizing. Are you using a good...

    dannyb liked post by grandpamac On thread : Which 4 guns do I need in NZ?
    Greetings Joe Schmo, I think in the US 7mm usually means a 7mm Rem Mag where in NZ we would think 7mm-08. If the former is the case the .308 makes more sense. I would strongly suggest that a .223 be...

    AI cases are shorter to the base of the neck and longer to the point of the shoulder plus the shoulder is much steeper. I very much doubt if the standard head space gauges can be used due to the much...
