    Micky Duck liked post by grandpamac On thread : calibre for short barrel(18-20")longer range(-600m) rifle
    Now your talking. A .30-40 Krag (.30 US Army or .30 Flanged Nitro by Purdey all actually much the same) might be worth considering. Definitely an "A what"? rifle. GPM.

    Some really dangerous crap in this thread. Hopefully it is in jest but dangerous just the same. Rifle barrels should never be near water let alone touch it. GPM.

    Greetins All, I think I have part of the answer to that question. My No4 with a near new two groove barrel often shoots MoA groups with the 174 grain Round Nose Hornady and light loads. It is...

    There is an answer to your problem but I don't think you are going to like it. Any of the lathe type trimmers should have the length required for the .416. My 50 year old Bair unit does. As far as...

    Greetings All, It would almost be rude not to try Jack OConnor's often quoted load of 60 grains of 4831 behind the 130 grain projectile even if it was just on paper. Jack worked up this load just...
