I think we see it about the same way then! :)

Nice explanation w/ detail, However, I think that this really needs to state: "Energy tells you the POTENTIAL volume of the temporary stretch cavity."

There is a heavy dependency on bullet design...

My understanding is that Eagle Picher in this district is flooded, and is leaching lead into the down stream waterways to a significant extent.
There was a you-tube video and other info on topic I...

Point in my line of thought was: separating the bullet and its behavior from your rifle from the behavior of the powder under that bullet.

You question the powder choice.

Earlier question...

Some may appreciate:

I can understand why you may not be thrilled with those group sizes.

What do other powders show for grouping with the same bullet, size and hardness?
Also, mixed brass: I often run into issue w/...

Only problem I see w/ 44 on Elk is trajectory at range, and bullet selection (forget the jacketed HP).

Energy is a very poor estimator of terminal effect on game animals, as has been written about...

Can't resist...

I used to tell people I was an optimistic pessimist: I knew "it" was likely to go in the hamper, but with hard work we could "make it happen"...

The production of smokeless gunpowder involves the use of acids.

If not fully neutralized, the residual acids in the powder will contribute to an increase in deterioration rate.
As the powder...

Well, 50 yrs of "advancement" is surely fair reason. :)
My response was more general.
I was taking the recoil comments more in the line of thought like the comments I used to get for shooting...

Beagling and honing are not the same. I recently got a LEE 6 hole 44 mold - all holes cast small (0.427-0.429", and yes it was a 44 mag application), and as a side note dropped bullets w/...

Two comments I didn't see anyone respond to:
(post 6) "...shows where I had two of the cavities filled and the bullets came out all crumbly and still attached to the left over lead." and
(post...

Maybe you are thinking of the Merritt stick on apperature? - not a magnifier, but a device that does tend to sharpen the image.

I think it was Merritt.

Just don't understand the comments of hesitancy to fire a gun like this due to injury.
People didn't get less physically capable in 100 years - 4 generations roughly, the gun weighs almost 17...

I get "free" safety glasses from work - I pay for progressive, tint, "fancy frames" (i.e. non BC frames).
So, I get an untinted pair, with "upside down" progressive prescription to put the big...

I put a 7-30 Contender together years ago so my son could use it when he first went deer hunting - ended up putting a R700 7x57 together too before he went and it got a spongy limbsaver pad and...

I believe "staynless" are non corrosive - marketing gimick in the naming.
Look them over, may well also say "Non-Mercuric Staynless Primers". It was their naming for "new" non-mercuric primers.

Great cartridge in my opinion - I have the Ackley variant, which did nothing for velocity btw. I have taken deer with it, wild hogs, an elk, and a bison.

My memory of grandma canning corn: electric carving knife swiped down the cob end to end multiple times. After blanching.

Herter's Shell Holders, 358 Win & 30-06 brass, Speer 458 bullets, and Cork wads still available.

I am reasonable about considering offers - can't edit the original post any longer.

Have a pretty pitted barrel on a Yugo 24-47 8x57 -- shoots cast fine. Very consistently too. 50/50 lube w/ some lithium grease added, and bullet ~ 20 BHN.

Lar45 - how did the repeat go?

BTW: 200 @ 2300-2400 Seems peppy for what is in practical terms a 35 Rem AR, though do realize you likely are targeting higher operating pressures. 2-300 fps seems...

Good & Interesting info on the correction to my statement.
I will say that the lot of PP 300 MP I have is not slower than any of the W296 I have had, but as noted, lot to lot and all that.
