Hey Granpamac, Just whipped up a ballistics chart and noted that the difference isn’t that major really. There is a 6inch drop difference at 500m and roughly a 200fps and 200ftlb difference...

That is a good point. I was under the impression that seating closer to the lands was better seen as the factory loads are set to encompass all make and models. Cheers

No criticism intended Grandpamac. It's funny, 20 years ago I couldn't wait to get rid of the last of my 30s. All range rifles. I'd also owned ex rifle club SMLEs at one stage. They were sold and...

Hello grandpa Mac the casts are .380 and the bore slugged .375 land to groove. The alloy is admittedly a bit of a lottery, 3 parts lead 1 part wheel weight with tin added at 5% by total weight. It...

Just to confuse.. Definitions of the angular mil There are 2000π milliradians (≈ 6283.185 mrad) in a circle; thus a milliradian is just under 1⁄6283 of a circle, or ≈ 3.438 minutes of arc....

Personally I think that because the OP has IMR 4831 and has shortened his barrel it would be a good choice. Agree faster than H4831. IMR stands for improved military rifle and military 4831 was...

.310" will completely seal a .311" bore when fired as the bullet displaces slightly when the lands push into it, causing it to fill the grooves. Displacement varies from .001" to .003" depending on...
