so , back from the range.
the Husqvarna shoots everything I feed him , with good results.
I don t get it , its not common practice to have a core in 6.6 mm , but the huskey doesn t mind .
I am going to stay with this particular coresize for a while because it seems to have some benefits.
for one is the size itself , as previous testing suggests that the projectile is capable to have the patch AND the core cut by the rifling
this size of 6.6 mm is a nice in between size from slightly engraving to full dia core.
this also means that the casts out of the mold don't have to be sized that much so its less straining on the projectiles.
with the core cut by the rifling I think my patch would need extra attention , cause were the ends meet there is always a little gap
in this gap there is only one layer of paper and my thinking is that the rifling could cut through here...
for now I leave it as is and further test this coresize ... later on I think I am gonna make me a template
out of stainless steel with a supporting device ... but I have to sleep on this for a while.
the method I am using now is producing a lot of patches in short time , but there are some minor differences in length.
with the template I could only cut one at a time , but they would be very consitant in size.
don't know what it is but I have a good feeling for this new coresize .
lets roll up a new set and head out to the range !
