These are some very interesting results, and I wouldn't get downhearted about them at all. While the intent of the experiment was to learn more about the relative merits of various fluxes, there...

Go to a slower powder, like 4227 or 1680.

19 years ago Lenita was diagnosed with MS. As a result of intensive research in the field, we have learned a great deal about MS in the years since then, and several treatments have become...

One key difference to keep in mind in this discussion -- in an air gun the compression is taking place under oxidizing conditions (i.e. there is surplus oxygen around to support dieseling). In a...
I like the Delta Elite. The one thing I would comment on is mine appears to have a fairly tight chamber (only about .003" room for expansion), and accumulated fouling/grunge can have an impact on...

Rick has posted another article, this one on a pair of fine truncated cone hollow points, designed for use in semi-autos.

Hard lube, spinning out of the lube groove.

Excellent work Rick! That is a really useful resource you've put together there. One of these days I want to explore various formulations of moly grease with lard as a bullet lube....
Forum: Boolit Lube !
There are other moly greases on the market. For example, I have some from Valvoline that seems to work about the same. I don't think the graphite is important. You want a lithium-based grease that...
That's my favorite bullet for the .32 Winchester Special. I've not tried it in 8mm.
I like the Cramer #41B in my .30-40 Krag.

Oooooh! I LIKE it! (but then I'm kinda sweet on all things .35 caliber.....)
Looking at your velocity data (and based on my experience with the .444 Marlin in the TC), I would say that H322 is too slow of a powder for optimum results with a bullet as light as 210 grains. In...

Ranch Dog -- that is one good lookin' .380 bullet!

Dannix -- yes, Erik looked at the Cramer idea and decided to make it both simpler and stronger.
Bill -- I didn't "re-deploy this technology", Erik did (followed closely by Miha). I just had the plesaure of playing with their handiwork!
Here's the mould that got things started. A number of years ago, John Taffin mailed me this mould that he had picked up for cheap at a gun show. It was missing the HP pin. John knows how much I...
Yes, I have several Cramer Hp moulds. That's how this whole thing got started -- I sent one to Erik to get it fixed and he looked the design and liked it, and figured out how to do the conversions....

+1 to everything Larry said.
I have a simple way of approaching this -- for a typical broadside shot, I prefer the behind the shoulder shot IF I'm using an expanding bullet (like a cast HP, which...
