Greetings Mangle,
Wet day yesterday and started thinking what projectile would stabilise in a 1 in 14 inch twist. I have two .308 target rifles with 1 in 14 inch twists so this was for me as much as...

Greetings Mangle,
Thinking about the above post I realised I should have given rather more background so here it is.
Many Lee Enfield and other .303 rifles have been re barreled with take out...

Greetings Mangle,
One thing that is probably worth doing once you get your hands on it is to measure the barrel twist. It may be as slow as 1 in 14 inches. This would limit your choice of...

Greetings All,

Yes definitely do that Mangle,
Mine is on a Martini action so I keep the loads well down on an action that is coming up 140 years old next year. And yes it does go hunting from time to time. In...

Greetings All,
To Mangle I am fascinated by your initial post. Do you have a lovely old .30-40 Krag of some type? Or perhaps a burning desire to own a rifle so chambered? Or just curious?
There was...

Greetings,
The last ones I saw were at Collings and Brady sometime in the 1990's. They were loaded by them for No 4 Lee Enfields they had rebarrelled to .30-40 using take off target barrels. You can...
