I have never used it as it comes from WLL, but 50/50 LLA/JPW simply excels at lower velocity pistol rounds. It is occasionally the best thing for smaller bore high velocity loads too. My 256Win Mag...

Just use a touch more beeswax and do not worry about it. This is not nuclear physics. It is balancing soft with hard and sticky with slicky, nothing more. Not like the original Petrolite micro wax...
You know where that bolt body is gonna go if that bolt handle does not hold right? No way I would even consider that, twist rate will not matter much when you have a bolt body sticking out of your...

E.R Shaw will make you a Savage drop in in 8X57 even though they do not list them. Happiness is just a phone call and a credit card number away. I would much rather have an old Savage 110/111 in...

50/50 BW to Alox350 was just too soft for me. I tried several ways to stiffen it up. I ended up with this recipe and it was very accurate up to full speed 30-30 levels in a robust bolt action. ...

IMO LBT BLUE (not the soft) is the best over the counter lube for hot conditions.

I have seen that to be pretty much true. I do believe the magic spot is a bit lower than 2,200, closer to 1,800 fps. That is just an opinion formed from shooting a lot of deer however. Not much...

My smallest dipper is a trimmed 22 short case with an allen wrench soldered to it. Never have actually used it yet though.

A 32 Long out of a rifle barrel would be much cheaper and easier, especially if you own a Contender frame. That would be one check written to Bullberry, MGM, or EABCO.

All the mass you can get while keeping bearing surface of the bullet a small as possible, that's where quiet is born. Your first and third link is what I would choose. A true Loverin style bullet...

Personally I would ask your favorite gun whether it prefers caramel or chocolate. It is the only way you are actually gonna know.
Do as your health teacher said. PUT A CONDOM ON IT. I would buy the unlubed kind personally.
I used to use black electricians tape on bp guns when hunting in bad snow, it does no harm.

I find alloy composition and ultimate strength to be the limiting factor far more often than twist rate. Changing alloy makeup is far easier and far cheaper to change than twist rate, so that is a...

I see no problems with the alloy and speeds you are running. Been a big ol pile of deer killed with similar bullets at them ballistics and of similar alloy going through the ribs. If you are...

That's what I am hoping for. Even a small meplat at 850-900 FPS is doing more damage than I want it to when the perfect head shot is not so perfect. I tried just going slower but I wanted to make...

I can but I choose not to. I simply do not trust the world to know that I am only responsible for the stupid things I personally do in this life.
