Been e-mailing KAL for months now trying to get mine on order.

I want to try those. Is that a die that they pull off the shelf?

Circulatory problems and resulting surgery laid him low back in August.
He has recovered enough to start puttering in the shop again, and looking at a rather intimidating backlog.

Retired...TWICE. Now just raisin' cows and livin' on borrowed time.
I have a KAL mold pretty much identical except it throws a .434 tapered bullet. Finning was a problem until I really began to monitor temp and not let it get too hot, eliminated the "pressure" pour, and just slowed down a little. Actually I had more problems with an adjustable .40 pp mold from Brooks in that regard. But the same technique worked for it too. 20-1 and with 30-1 alloy.

In a book modestly entitled "How I became a Crack Shot". Mind you, he was. I am a long way from my copy, which I haven't opened in many years, but I think it is unlikely that a French match was at long range, and it is possible that a fairly inaccurate shot at the finish was enough to win.
He does, I remember, tell how the Germans went in for unscrupulous rule-bending, but the French were delighted to be beaten in style.
He was out of ammunition and the Swiss wouldn't let him borrow a gun or ammo...
For those that might be interested in reading Farrows book, or better yet Wingates manual for rifle practice, they are as far away as your google browser look for them and others in the library.

It is a really enjoyable book. Although I think he should have titled it differently. Maybe "I am a Crack Shot".
Chris.
"I am a Crack Pot",,,there fixed it for ya Chris... Yup I still think he stiffed the motel in Glendive, and the excuses he came up with for shooting that poor buff bull in the testicles....

Ha
I do like the book, but it doesn't say much about how he became a good shooter, just that he shot a lot. The last section on shooting advice to a new shooter was interesting I thought.
Chris.
I for the most part was severely disappointed with the book, as it said but very little about the guns and loads he used. Nowhere near the useful information in it, that is in Perry's book or Wingates.

Yeah, Perry's book is absolutely excellent. Except maybe the part about the eye colors
Which book is Wingate's I don't think I've heard of it.
Chris.
It's called the Manual for Rifle Practice. It's in the google library. George Wingate is the authors name.

Thanks Don.
I'm curious to know how people in that direction patching the bullet. It seems to me that my barrel prefer the patch wrapped so that with the rotation of the projectile, the patch tightens to it.
This is a picture of the web that shows the direction of patching.
instead this is the way the contrary, the patch could unroll with the rotation of the bullet

General George Wood Wingate is the author of "Manual for Rifle Practice". I have an original 6th Edition (1878) and there was an 7th in 1880 - I don't know if there were any further editions.

Historical firearms, long range target shooting and associated history
Paul A. Matthews in his book The Paper Jacket explains why.
But i had no problems in the notch of the paper although it was wrapped so as not to unwrapped.
