My testing showed that anything that made any portion of the patch stick to the bullet caused larger groups and fliers. However, using a 'release spray' on bullets prior to wrapping made for tighter...

100% cotton paper is supposed to be the gold standard for PP. I have maybe 100 sheets and am saving it for something special. All my testing of other papers was because of the shortage of 100%...

That works but I have found that the best accuracy load is almost always between the starting and max load...like I said usually around 88% to 94% of the difference between the two weights.

MY...

What I found was that the more unburned powder grains, the higher the SD shown by the chronograph. Having a low velocity spread leads to tighter groups..the variable of different amounts of unburned...

The only paper I never got to shoot well was glossy magazine paper...later I found it is full of clays and a 'wax', it just would not shred off the bullet at the muzzle right... and it showed in the...

I 'reduce' the JPW by removing the lid, put a coffee filter over the top and secure it with a large rubber band. Keeps the dust and bugs out.

I put the open/covered can out in the pump...

ditto of what everyone said previously

I never did get 5744 to perform except in full power loads, in straight walled cartridges. Right up to the max I got unburned powder grains, lots of them. And using fillers did not make a...

Please look up the multiple threads covering tape, labels and aluminum foil.

That's what the archives and search function are best used for...some wheels just should NOT be re-invented.

If you...

It has and is being done but my experience is 'not well'.

First off, most shell shuckers will damage the PP in chambering, not all but a lot of guns will. Ex: one AR does not w/ M4 feed ramp...

Heres the way I was taught. And articles in the early 70's in the American rifleman bore the theory out.

In either BP or smokeless, a partially full case will have the powder along the bottom and...

Just curious = how would this fit with the BATF 'destructive device' category? Would you have to get one of the $200. tax stamps PRIOR to building...like you do with SBRs, full autos n silencers?

Last three weeks - Four trips to the VA emergency room including one day stays in the hospital. Liver failure ( What? WHY? Don't drink and have no viruses or such so why? ) causing protein loss in...

Ran across these drawings of my design and thought you might be interested. Twist determined the bullet length. The reason for the flat nose is because every round nose gets the flat anyway if it...

Yes, the 'faster' powders seem to give better accuracy for me.

I AM seriously considering picking up a CZ...VERY well made action!

My best/most favorite 458 was a 300 Weatherby I re-barreled...

Unfortunately, the problem I never solved was having enough case neck tension to grip the bullet hard enough that the rounds in the magazine did not get their bullets set back deeper into the case...

This is why I specified DIRTY, sooty fired but not otherwise processed, brass as the carbon inside and out keeps ANY residue from sticking...

I tried oil (using WW I was getting an occasional...

I also found that annealing my cases improved accuracy.

But I anneal using a slightly different procedure.....

I found that using a torch that occasionally I would 'scorch' a brass from...

Send all the SP brass to me if you don't want to sort n shoot it. Personally, my old series 70 Colt LOVES it and using 6.2 gr of Universal and 200gr Hornady XTP...it is the most accurate load ever...

As far as I know there never was a .41 Automag, just the original .44 and the .357 Automag.

In 1974 I bought one of the first Automags...

Back when I started converting from BP to Smokeless, I got several rifles that had never had problems shooting PP develop rings.

And several times, shots that kicked unusually hard and had high...

Congratulations, glad we (Smokeless PP) could help! I see that you have almost duplicated my loading procedure for .458, good to know it has been 'independently verified' by another shooter.

I...

Yes, you can because the paper is COMPRESSIBLE on the PP bullet, where a conventional jacketed or GG bullet that size (.361 / .362) would cause overpressure when fired in a .358 groove rifle.

You...

I have been Hummmming so much here it sounds like I might be writing a song.....

Had to jump in here as some experience here might apply to others.

Maybe not. You will just have to try it.
