    Magnetite liked post by Bagheera On thread : Matches with hunting bullets
    For me, there's a definite benefit to using just one bullet and getting to know it. I use a hunting bullet with excellent terminal ballistics and good accuracy(NBT) and shoot about half of them at...

    Magnetite liked post by Pommy On thread : Matches with hunting bullets
    I used to do that but have kind of stopped and tend to do a bit more research on the specific bullets I'm considering. Manufacturers know that BC sells, so there's been a bit of a push towards...

    Magnetite liked post by grandpamac On thread : Soot On Case Bodies
    Greetings Again, The powder all burns in the barrel in spite of what some believe so the problem with AR2213SC is you can't get enough in the case to develop the velocity. Hodgdon gives a load of...

    Magnetite liked post by rupert On thread : Split shoulders
    The brass is corroded and/or brittle with age. Some old brass is perfectly usable after annealing to deal with the brittleness of age. Some old brass is corroded due to bad storage so much so that it...

    Magnetite liked post by ebf On thread : Primer testing methods
    Couple years back Winchester primers had some quality control issues. Lot of people ended up with gas cut bolt faces. Use them at your peril.

    Greetings Magnetite, I tried 49 and 50 grains of AR2213SC behind the 129 grain SST which gave 2,720 and 2,780 fps respectively. You may get a little more. As far as your accuracy figures go you...
