    Greetings all, It has taken a little time to get around to some handloading. The rifle is a Martini action fitted with a take out 7.62 barrel and chambered in .30 US aka .30-40 Krag. As the action...

    Greetings, Nick's 1980 Manual was one of my first and together with Cyril Waterworth's 1972 volume the only source of data for AR2201 which we used for everything. GPM.

    Jhon liked post by grandpamac On thread : 38-55 Recommendations
    A bit more info, The .38-55 and later the .32-40 were used for target shooting on ranges like the Creedmoor near New York. Often the shooting was done standing at a range of 40 rods or a little over...

    Well lets hope so. I went for a medical for my 75 year olds drivers licence renewal today. I did not do so well on the memory tests but still enough to pass. Eye sight, however, easily passed...

    Micky Duck liked post by grandpamac On thread : Sako Vixen .222 Load
    Greetings, I think that data is for the .222 Rem Mag and not the .222 Rem. ADI shows a max load of 19.5 grains of AR2207 for 3,017 fps at 45,300 CUP for the .222 Rem. Regards Grandpamac.
