I have the 700 classic in 300h&h. Found it in the corner of a shop and couldn't pass it up. Haven't shot cast out of it. Only have shot cast out of 35cal and bigger rifles. But a healthy load of slow...

Saeco 352 will shoot 5 rounds in 1.2 inches @ 100 out of my 35 whelen. I powder coat. 16.5" 1-14 twist from a green mountain blank. I use 30-06 brass with a moderate load of IMR 4350. I tried 6...

Turned into a great thread, lots to look at here. The 250 saeco bullet really seems to be a nice one, so far I've had good luck shooting it. Will be trying to test terminal performance. Wouldn't mind...

Thanks, I'll check it out.

I've been doing some load development for the 35 whelen. Gun is a ruger hawkeye I rebarreled with a green mountain blank. Currently using the saeco 352, GC, powder coated.

I started some load...

I have a nice flatband that's a joy to shoot and load for. Use the rcbs 170 over 3031 for hunting. Use a 165 from an old ideal mold over universal for plinking. I use 30/30 brass for the plinking...

I grew up in northern wisconsin, where there are really not much for snakes to speak of. I have recollection of seeing one snake that was longer than about 10". I walk bare foot where ever I want to...

Note the sizing of the above post. I have been loading for a marlin 45-70 with the MG barrel and as thoroughly discussed here in many many posts, sizing to the 460 range is critical to prevent...

I don't see why it wouldn't work as a general comparative test. I.E. sample A deformed more, so it is "softer" than sample B.

But it may or may not correlate well to a hardness scale. You could...

Just remember with that project that you probably don't want to big a gap between the 12ga shell and the projectile. I would think that you would need to use an "over powder" card or wad, and then if...

Was there a "click" while you were shooting and you had to manually recycle? I am just curious about the sequence. I believe a 16 ga will hang in a 12 ga forcing cone, and typically not let a 12ga ...

That's one perk for a PID, don't have to worry about a temp run away if it starts leaking. I've been lucky so far with my Lee 20lber, limited drips here and there, never anything that a quarter turn...

Here is a good source regarding the operation of blowback firearms:

The theory discussed there could be used to help determine the suitability of other...

One other consideration, "hot rolled" is a process, not a material designation. You can buy hot rolled 4140, or you can buy hot rolled 1008. They are wildly different steels in the long run. If you...

As I understand it, and someone please correct me if I am wrong:

Bolt thrust is the force that the cartridge exerts on the bolt face, which in turn is the thrust that the locking lugs secure. So...

Don't use 1144 for that pressure application. 1144 has aligned manganese sulfide inclusions that make it really nice to machine. The inclusions are aligned in the longitudinal direction (length) of...

You know the face book likes and visits come in from a web marketing perspective. Google does all sorts of algorithms to figure out who comes up first on a search, so having FB likes and website...

Update: And for the most part - Completion

I finished up the second sear and got the sears adjusted and got both tweaked so they fit within the inletting of the stock. Then I proceeded to harden...

It looks like the 338LM is based upon the 416 rigby. However, the 416 rigby operates at a max pressure of ~47000 psi, vs ~60,000 psi for the 338LM, so you are talking a 22% higher pressure vs the...

About 6 or 8 months ago, I won an auction on an english 16 gauge sxs. I am partial to odd/slightly obscure guns and calibers, so I've always been fond of 16 gauges. I grew up shooting my Dads sxs, so...

Hey Thanks FLHTC,

I see broken parts every day, It makes for a pretty interesting job. A couple current projects I'm working on now are some broken motor mounts for a washing machine, a failed...

If you look at the crack, it initiated from that longitudinal feature that is under the roll-stamp. The origin was likely to the left arrow and the longitudinal feature is indicated at the right...

I had to load it to about 1.11" to fit the Ruger P98 I had at the time. Used a small amount of titewad (~3.5 grains) and it really shot fairly well. I didn't have any feed problems (different gun of...

I'm 30, and I am happy to use vintage equipment when I can find it at a good price. I have an orange lyman Spar-T that I love using. I would be thrilled to use some old hollywood presses or...

I have a Nepalese Gahendra I've been thinking about relining and turning into a 32-40 because of some pretty substantial pitting on the barrel at the wood line. Any pictures of the finished product...
