    grandpamac liked post by Hermitage On thread : Is it Pressure or Powder Capacity?
    The way I am understanding it from the Speer manual and the Youtube video Seventy Six above linked (listen from 4:30-6:10 minutes), is that barrel erosion depends on pressure which increases the core...

    grandpamac liked post by Moa Hunter On thread : Public Land Roar Predictions?
    The adult hinds have their first estrus cycle around 20 March coinciding with photo period and that is when a lot of old stags do their rooting. At the next cycle three weeks later all the young...

    grandpamac liked post by G.I_Joel On thread : .303 enfield sniper hunt
    I have an old Aldis scope that I would some day love to put on a original rifle. To shoot an animal with that would certainly top it off. Though I was warned by another member that perhaps the...

    grandpamac liked post by Cordite On thread : Is it Pressure or Powder Capacity?
    No it's not the momentary pressure nor the momentary heat, but the combination of these with FLOW. An imperfect seal causing gas leakage around a bullet damages both bullet and barrel. - Gas behind...

    Something a bit different, i took my old 1941 lee Enfield no4 mk1 T .303 Sniper rifle out for a hunt on Sunday on some public land, and i managed to shoot a big old hind with it at 275 yards away!...

    And lets not forget that a 'shortfat' case also allows each powder charge to burn more uniformly, thus giving more uniform velocities. The best way to make powder burn uniformly is to pack it into a...

    Ive always used a .222 or .223 and over the last 12 months have shot 18 deer with my .223's. I have 3 .223's - more by accident than design - but at least it means that I can have certain loads for...

    Pool walking is and has always helped me get fitter for the hills as it seems to use the same core muscles. I try to do 40-lengths (25m pool so 1km) 3 to 4 times a week and try to get out for an...
