I've been playing around with the Lee 452 230s, great fun.

50 yards, 70% load Trailboss, I'm not the worlds greatest shot so I'm quite happy with the grouping.

Heck, I thought it must have been a big box to fit a twin engine fighter. :-)

Enjoyed the series, along with the movies it inspired me to go on a tour of Vietnam and see the places in person. Came away with even more respect for the vets and the ***** horrors they went through.

Thanks, be very interested to see your results and if you think the extra cutting work is worth it. The patch size might need a little tweaking to fine tune. Good luck.

Here are a few ideas I came up with a while back. I was thinking exactly along the same lines (probably still in one of the stickies).

Cool, given me a lot of food for thought thanks.

303 I really like your conical idea, I'm going to try it out with a TL230-452-TC in my 1895, it should be extreme : - )

This might be a bit simplistic I know but somehow i think the west needs to stop buying shoddy cr*p from countries like China, and start making shoddy cr*p locally again.

Thanks for that, I'll get some Google wisdom on Cheytacs.
I think of the scene where the Fed is at the internet cafe, everytime I log on here. : - )

What stunning scenery and a great story too.
For some reason when I pause the Barrett parts, the bullets and muzzle look smaller than a .50 cal?

That was very cool thanks.
I just play for fun. My favourite is probably Junior Brown But I like playing along with Duane Eddy, Shadows etc.

If you shot him with a .50, it would only make him more viscous. :-D
Still got the factory barrel. Haven't had any issues with leading so far.
The bullets are .356 polycoated Top Scores. They are really accurate with the lighter loads of Unique but for some reason...
In my G34, I find about 4.6 Unique seams the best of accuracy and cycling with 124gn LRN. 4.2 would be a good starter and work up if you need to.
For to W231,...

77/22 sorry, wouldn't want that to get that confused with the 22/45.:oops:
Forum: Our Town
The .22 of choice for me would be the 22/77. Cool thing is you can use those hi-cap 10/22 mags. CZ has some nice offerings too.
My Hornady manual lists max load of Blue Dot for 44 spc 240SWC at 9.1gn (900fps), you might be on the raggedy edge of safety but I'm no expert.
The myth/fact? I hear down at the range is pistol...
I was surprised to win my club's comp last weekend with my S.A. and a mix of 38s and 357 ammo box droppings. Put it all down to the Accuracy Sticky and firing an airpistol down the hall (into a...
