    Greetings all, You can get away with a lot if pressures are kept low. German target shooters 120 or so years ago loaded at the range without any case sizing. The fired primer was knocked out and a...

    Greetings O Bored One, You wont get a lot of velocity from the 165 so it might be better to go lighter, 125 or 130 grain. These should give 2,200 fps easily while keeping pressures low, a good idea...

    Jhon liked post by grandpamac On thread : Old Handloads
    I have managed to curb my enthusiasm a little from my early years, most of the time. F-class shooting allows me to load more than previously and also given some of my rifles more purpose.

    Definitely the front base is wrong for the rifle and is too high causing the rifle to shoot low. Take it of and replace it with the right one, a no 36, or fit a 20 MoA base. Job done. GPM.

    Greeting again, I had some Parker Hale bases for the M700 out in the shed so did some rough measurements. The rear base is around 2.5mm or so thicker than the front base. Your odd ball front base is...
