I would assume that it would be identification in the rack both in storage and on the range. The position of the spot on the butt stock would be visible even in a second tier of rifles and the fore...

Greetings,
The flip sight was likely replaced with a Parker Hale target sight for range shooting but this does not require any alteration so can easily be changed back.

Greetings All,
Each Anzac Day I think a little about some of my relations that served in WW1. Many of you will have ancestors and relatives that served and if you don't know their stories a lot of...

41 Magnum 200 grain cast lead wadcutters or semi wad cutters perhaps? The cylinder shape might help at least starting them straight

Greetings All,
Back in the 1960's a .410 shotgun appeared on the market. It had a 12' barrel and a pistol grip and was legal as a shotgun at the time. As it was a shotgun it did not need to be...

Greetings all,
Sounds like all this pondering may lead back to a .44 Magnum break open rifle firing a .43 dia 120 grain round ball,

Greetings Micky Duck and all,
This has been done already in the 375 Flanged Nitro Express 21/2" from the late 1800's. The .303 case is smaller in the base than either of the 45-70 or the 444 Marlin...

Happy Birthday Trout,
You should be 75 like me in about 27 old codger months. Old codger time is the apparent time between events from our point of view.

Rinse in dishwashing liquid and water and air dry. Don't wipe it dry.

Greetings All,
GPM finally got out to the shed today to do some preliminary loads for load development for a friends .308. A few rounds were assembled with 150 grain Interlocks and the last of my...

Greetings Tentman.
Regarding BM8208 earlier data including that from Hodgdon and ADI seems to have used a powder that was faster than the current production. I ran into this when I was working up...

Greetings,
I don't think that is right but check the scopes specs to be sure. Large tube scopes often have more adjustment range though and a larger objective lens will give a larger exit pupil at...

Greetings Rn-85,
Thanks for your reply.
A few notes on how I keep myself out of trouble almost all of the time.
Data needs to be the latest that you can find and for the actual projectile (or one...

Greetings,
Step one. Buy or borrow a chronograph.
Step two fire one start charge shot and chronograph to validate or otherwise the data you are using.
Decide on the velocity level you are...

Greetings,
Even barrels that are in good nick on .303 rifles can have eroded throats from shooting rounds with the erosive cordite ammo. I found that the 174 grain Hornady RN shot well in my No4...

No but if you size with the die down hard on the shell holder trying to remove the bulge that can be a cause of head sep. The bulge needs to be removed as a separate step to prevent setting the...

Greetings Boomdog,
A little after 2,000 AR2209 became a faster powder. There is some difference between lots or production batches but this change was more than that. I was working with the 129...

Greetings and thanks 308,
I have a little hand thingy for the end of the hose that is great for a final clean but it does not shift a lot of the crud. Seed pods from the wattles are the main...

Greetings once again.
I had a fish around in the Hornady data for the .280 AI. This has a slightly larger case (around 6% larger) than the .284 and operates at the same or slightly higher pressure....

Greetings again Boomdog,
You are unlikely to see any of the commonly quoted pressure signs until you are well over max pressures. Hodgdon does list 57 grains of H4350 (AR2209) with the 139 grain SST...

All the more reason not to fiddle with the velocity then.
GPM.

Greetings gimp,
Assuming you have a half decent chronograph I suggest you use your measured velocity. If you want to measure your down range velocity you may want to consider joining your local NRA...

Greetings eamars and all,
That is exactly what I have done and found measured velocity at the target was very close to estimated, less than 10 fps. I did not measure the drop as I had done a rough...

Greetings LJPRMC,
I think we tend to over complicate things. I had just this need before I shot my first 600 yard shoot last year. I had the chronographed velocity for my load so just ran the...
