   Greetings @MB, At your son's age I probably would have been into video games if such existed in 1957. They did not but I was into reading in a big way. Fishing can be an acquired taste and 8 year...

   Greetings All, My first new rifle, a M700 ADL, in .308 cost $243.00 in the late 1970's. We had purchased a new car in 1974 which cost $3,900.00. Today an equivalent rifle can be had for around...

   Greetings again, From what I have read the hot or boiling water is essential as the corrosion will continue in spite of being oiled. The boiling water is needed the same day as the rifle is fired....

   Greetings rimubay, I would use AR2206H. As mentioned elsewhere I tested 42.5 grains of AR2208 with 140 grain Corelokt projectiles in a 7mm-08 which gave 2,710 fps in a 19" barrel. One grain less of...

    Cartridges of the World give max loads of 49 grains of 4895 with the 170 grain and 45 grains with the 198 grain for 2,570 and 2,450 fps respectively. I would probably start at 38 grains (80% of 48...

    Greetings LJPRMC, I don't doubt for a minute that you got the same velocity for the same charge but the soft, medium and hard loads given were all at the same pressure. Use the soft charge with the...

    Greetings LJPRMC, I have to agree with the Gordons reloading tool that that is a dangerously hot load. Book max for non solid copper projectiles runs between 42 and 43 grains of AR2208 so you are 2...

    Greetings Nighniz, With a 20 inch barrel and that slow 10" twist you may wish to go to a 80 to 90 grain projectile with which AR2206H will work just fine. Look on the Hodgdon H4895 or the ADI site...
