    All right I'll say it if no one else will. 700 rounds of over max loads in a hot 7mm. 1.5mmof throat erosion and likely a rough throat as well. The barrel is likely poked and the lugs may be set back...

    blip liked post by grandpamac On thread : Cac 303
    Its called a stab crimp. Common in old ammo from the UK. Tumbling live ammo is a very bad idea, first because a sharp point can possibly fire a primer and second that the tumbling can damage the...

    BSA270 liked post by grandpamac On thread : Powder recommendations for short barrel 308?
    Greetings, My vote is for AR2206H or BM8208 if you can't get that. BM8208 is a little faster. GPM.

    308 liked post by grandpamac On thread : .303 loads
    Greetings, Velocity in .303 rifles can be extremely variable due to the amount of erosion in the throats from firing the old cordite ammo which was very erosive. The second problem is that the...

    Greetings Micky Duck and all, The quoted speeds were averages and the ES were all very low so the difference was real. To get some context the extra speed was equivalent to adding almost 2 grains...

    Longrun liked post by grandpamac On thread : Lower than expected velocities
    Greetings csmiffy, You are quite right in that a lighter case, with more capacity will result in lower pressure but how much is another question. I have a test loaded for my .308 with light and...

    Greetings, I chronographed 44 grains of AR2208 with the 150 grain in my 20" barrel .308 a while back. It produced 2,550 fps. Book max is 47 grains. I was comparing several different powders and 44...
