.22 Short HP is my favorite Bullfrog and squirrel round in revolvers and bolt action rifles. I brush out the chambers occasionally.

Try another brand to isolate the answer. If it splits also, that gun has a problem.
But it looks like bad brass to me.

Now you’re just bragging!
Both those rifles are nice,
Those Burris Mini scopes are good to go.
I had a Mini 6x on my BRNO K98/ Shaw 8mm sporter when it was my only deer rifle.

The part about welding the front half of a Springfield 1903 bolt to the rear half of a 1917 bolt is interesting.

I’ve gotten the “dry eye” from gas coming back a few times over decades of shooting.
I’ve been lucky; I wear Beretta shooting glasses now that I’m older and marginally smarter….

I’ve wondered if the 35-30 could be loaded using .35 Remington dies- neck sized only- but still.
I don’t have a 35-30 rifle or .35 Remington dies- so I’ll keep wondering.

The one Luger that I’ve owned was a 1923 Commercial Safe/Loaded 7.65 ( shooter grade)
I used 100 gr Speer Plinkers and had to use the maximum load for 85 gr bullets to get it to function.

Lately I’ve been shooting an old large propane tank @ 100 yards( I vented it with a .223 first- the valve is open)
About 1/4” steel.
The 38-55 and 44-40 ring it like a bell!

Double A’s with 7-1/2 or 8 shot no matter if using .410, 20 or 12 gauge at the old O’Brian/Knox City hunts of my youth.

Long, long ago on a HOT day…I told my barely bilingual helper that “ I need a raise”!

If you get a chance, check out this rifle on Sarco’s website. Made for the Honduran market in the late 1930s by Bannerman’s.
Parts is parts!

The rifle should dictate the scope choice.
I like a straight 4x 1” scope the best for my hunting bolt action and semiautomatic.22 rifles. I’m currently using a Bushnell Sport view4x, a Valor...

I started buying primers around 1973 or so.
I believe that the Cascade diamond pattern box is pre 1970s for sure.

Was it a varmint or standard .243 barrel?
Does it shoot better as a .358?
JES did a .358 for me that did.(.243 Remington 700)
