    excess650 replied to a thread 1893 Spanish Mauser Question in Military Rifles
    I think it took me a week to get my Turk 8x57mm clean. I alternated between Hoppes #9 and Barnes copper cutter, patches, brush, and JB bore cleaner. There are multiples of layers of powder fouling and copper, so takes a while. You could...

    303 Brit was designed as a BP round. It has a modest shoulder and lots of taper. Your impression of BP performing poorly in BN cases seems to be perpetuated myth. Take a look at the list of BP military cartridges that were BN, and add to it...

    I tried more Unique loads 6/18/13. I started with the 18gr load and worked up to 21gr. The last (2) groups of the previous range session had been the best, so I chose not to clean prior to shooting again. The bore looked clean and shiny with no...

    303Guy replied to a thread Suitable rifle for PPCB in Smokeless Paper Patching
    It is said that the paper patch boolit has a higher velocity and lower pressure than a j-word for the same powder charge. It seems to be that way from my own observations. That makes me wonder whether more performance can be gained with the 30-30...

    That Mosin cartridge is actually quite handsome. Another good paper patch candidate in the Mosin Nagant, methinks. In it's day the Mosin was an awesome powerful military cartridge, up there with the 30-06. Considering it entered service in 1891. ...

    You're welcome. I forgot to mention the source - it's Hodgdon's data from their website. I like their website load data. They've put a lot of effort into it (well, it's their book) and it seems to be the best on-line load data out there. I wish...

    Actually, yes, thanks. I knew the lead was an incidental lubricant and if I recall it only became apparent with the changeover to lead free fuels. Lead free fuels lead to new technology materials in engines which has resulted in extended engine...
