2206h for 150-170 flat out.
2207 for light loads 1500 fps
Bulleye for mouse fart

Yes I have tried pping jacket bullets in 30 cal.
I ran them tween files to roughen up the jacket so the paper would stick.
I used 2x wraps of water moistened tobacco papers.
The paper nose portion...

I found if I patch to where the paper is slightly smaller than bore diameter on the bullets nose works for me.
It may not be at the orgive.
If I do patch behind where the bore cuts the bullet then...

Well I ended up having another go at shooting the beast.
This time I was getting a lot of vertical in the groups.
I think it could be the bipod jumping around.
It felt like it was.
Even with a...

Awhhh! went to put a patch through it this morning to see if there was anything left to clean out of the bore and discovered the scope base had come loose.
I’m putting it in far corner of the safe...

No way of measuring velocity, but using the drop at different distances can get me close to the b.c. and velocity. WAG 960/1000 FPS
With earmuffs and plugs in.
I’m not sure but when the bullet...

First line down is where the 195 grn ? Bullet seats for my rifle chamber.
There is aprox 100 thou band sticking out the case.
The second line from the top is where 14.7 grns of...

John I would love to be able to do that,
But here they would throw away the key If I try’s something like that.
It doesn’t matter if everything is cactus whompus and allowed to sell such things but...

Nice
Be a good 500m rifle at the range.
It needs wheels and a handle.
Maybe a little umbrella and a seat

Well just for theory.
If one could make the sizer with the same chamber reamer as the rifle and all things considered.
Would that be the ultimate?
You could still do nasty noses or dimples or...

Yeah
Thanks

JRD would the rifling be 0.300" bore 0.315" groove of aprox 1:15 twist on these type of rifles.
I have a "7.62" rifle that will take a well sized ,minimum 30-30 case , but slightly not quite right....

Very nice
I could appreciate one of those.
Simple lines and comes up like a shotgun.
When you get sick of it………….

What can I say.
Mike H was right I think.
Got my mic’s out and yes it appears as if they could have been laying on the bottom of the chamber.
I found one case that was big but pretty round and it...

Lots of unburnt powder with the 2207 load. Needs to be upped quite a bit.
Then it may start to get excited and want to jump around on ignition.
Didn’t sound particularly loud.

A 357...

Shot a few today as a start up loads.
Recoiled lighter than I would have expected.
Velocity unknown.

Took it out today for a bit of a test with a 4x scope on it.
Still young days but I think could be useful for something.
First was some 140 Lee tc sized to 0.3582" with 3.5 Bullseye at 75m

I got the heavy data for bulleye out of my 2005 alliant powder reloaders guide..

Ghee didn’t think I had it that long.

If the cheek piece was on the right side instead of the left it would be better.
I put a cadet butt on it so I can at least play with it.
Test it out and decide how high or low I want it.
The...

I got the 357 mag cadet sickness.
Thought I would show a pic of this gun before I completely wreck the historical value.
From what I remember I would have to say it was done in the 80’s?
The give...

Thanks I’m looking into it.
Mine chamber is 100 thou longer than std.+ 5 thou of the case rim sticking proud of the chamber and 5 thou headspace to block face.
Might be able to shove a few more...

I’m on the axe / cold chisel /hammer brigade.
Easiest way for me after trying to cut up some large lead ingots with a toothed blade.

I recently acquired some molds for an old acquaintance.
One of them is this.
It has 9,3 on it.
Measures about right when cast.
195 gns as cast with the button bottom.

Any one wants to...

Thanks good idea.

Just bought a 357 mag rifle.
Thinking of a mold like this one to try.
Or a 2 diameter slick maybe.
See what happens
