Main thing I don’t like is the price tag. Next is factory rounds use 0.355” bullets instead of 0.357”

Weren’t the maximum revolvers discontinued because of all the commotion about top strap...

The Lyman 5th edition copyright 2023 also contains data for Vihtavuori N310 powder in 12 gauge. 7/8 ounce, And 1 ounce loads on page 149 and a 1-1/8 ounce load on page 150.

Every burn rate chart...

My BPI 10th edition copyright 2016 has 21 bullseye loads for 3/4 ounce loads on page 173.

Tightwad, WAA Lite and E3 are faster than bullseye on the first burn rate chart I pulled up online...

If I ever felt the need for using cast in 223, I would go to the Berger bullets website and play around with their stability calculator using the 1 in 9 twist rate for your example. I would select a...

Bullseye is pretty fast, but there are some faster powders used in 12 gauge.

Think you had some compression in the 9mm wasp load? Or less than the 38? I went back and read the first post for the...

So this is strange. It seems like as the case volume decreases the need for powder significantly decreases

Yes. And chamber pressure sharply increases! That was one of the features with my 200...

Slug your bore is the standard answer around here.

I’ve been lucky with 0.001” over jacketed diameter.

It’s expensive, but number two tungsten shot (18 gram per cc) is another option. The consensus is it performs like shot 4-5 sizes larger, so it won’t be quite to #4 buckshot effective, but there will...

Some single phase motor have start and run capacitors. My attic fan needs a start capacitor. If I take a broom and spin it, it will take off and run.

Found it! Load No. 26 where the TUWGL12 is listed on the update page.
All of the components are currently available. Fantastic!

I’d like to see the mold and some boolets from it.

Well, how did the pressure tests go? Were the results what you expected?

Good morning Ms MaryB
When you say older are we talking carburetor old? I assume it’s got fuel infection since you mentioned an electric fuel pump vs a mechanical fuel pump. Do you know about what...

Further testing revealed a boolet sized to 0.358” will chamber. I went back to the original 1.2 grain charge but reduced the oal down to 1.110” AND switched to RMI brass I purchased new for this...

This is my current favorite until someone gets me a Vihtavuori one.

I’m not too worried about lead exposure. According to Richard Lee dust from dry tumbling brass is the biggest...

Curious why you picked slug loads instead of buckshot? Do you plan to have buckshot in the tube after the slug? Chances are good you could get a quick second shot off. Plus the hogs I saw rooting on...

I got a click on a wild boar because of tight 30 Herrett brass one time. I don’t remember if I closed the action harder or put in a different cartridge. Fortunately I was in a box blind and didn’t...

I just run 223 brass into the full length die for TCU and enjoy!

Herrett got sized. Cut close to length with a little plastic tubing cutter. Then finish to exact length on a Lyman trimmer. Then...

326073Well the lodged boolet pushed out easily with a cleaning rod!

Test three was the 0.17cc Lee dipper used normally as a dipper. Digital scale read 1.5 grains for four charges and 1.4 grains...

Well unfortunately attempt two stuck a bullet in the barrel!

I went down to 1.0 grains of N310 and seated deeper to 1.145” in an attempt to increase the chamber pressure. The first shot was 379...

Frankenstein AR with discounted parts from MidwayUSA on birthday pricing.

This is what 1.2 grains of N310 looks like to those of you who aren’t familiar with it.

They fit and feed in an ETS magazine.

Yes there is just a smidge of bulge in the Winchester brass shown in the photo.

I’ll report back after trying a few other brands of brass.

I started at 1.160” overall length. These chamber fine in the only barrel I tried. Probably a BCA barrel iirc.

For those of you who are interested in subsonic loads, I thought I would share.

I’m using the Lee C358-200-RF mold. Boolets are sized to 0.356” without a gas check. 1.2 grains of Vihtavuori N310...
