    shooternz liked post by chainsaw On thread : Load Testing Analysis. What do i make of this?
    Yep, Nosler reload guide states 63.0 gn as max with IMR4831. Your 62.5 gn load shows promise, try 62.3 and 62.7 gns. Also have you measured your max COL ? Ie where the ogive hits the lanz? The...

    shooternz liked post by gundoc On thread : Diagnosing a accuracy problem with my .222
    It takes very little muzzle damage to upset accuracy. Muzzle damage (the last 2-3 inches) is very common in NZ hunting rifles that are a few years old, usually caused by firing rifles without...

    shooternz liked post by Spitfire On thread : 180 ELDM Blowing up
    Yep, that must be putting the hurt on his brass and throat. With the very high BC there’s no need to send them any quicker than 2850-2900, or to over twist them. I run them in my 7 RM at 2840 in...

    popular brand is DPT. Modular , can be taken apart for cleaning , can add or subtract baffles as wanted . I own several of theirs and have been very happy with them.

    shooternz liked post by ebf On thread : Primer testing methods
    Magnetite, kinda depends on what you want to achieve. For most shooting (service rifle, gongs, hunting) I just load using Federal. When I shot fullbore and was looking for the last ounce off...

    Test parameters: 1 - Make sure primer is not Winchester. 2 - Pull trigger on loaded case, if it goes bang, test complete.

    shooternz liked post by gundoc On thread : Load development in the SI
    The rifle you have is probably not able to cut the mustard at long range (and from a hunting perspective 500 metres is long range. The characteristics of the rifle are a good indicator of its...

    shooternz liked post by 25 /08 IMP On thread : Fireforming case with cleaning patches and pistol powder
    I've used the cream of wheat method and a few others but I found just using a standard load the best they still shoot accurate and are good for steel shoots or hunting. Sent from my CPH1903 using...

    chainsaw, it is a pandora's box :thumbsup: a lot of this is just marketing hype, trying to justify publishing higher BC values than a competitor, or defending low values against inflated ones. ...
