Hey all. I wanted to say thanx for your help on this one. I went out to the range and tried some loads with lowered velocities. Went down from 33 gn of 3031 to 28.8 and 30 gn of 3031. At 100 yards...

The next chance I get, I will go to the range and try some reduced loads and see how they fare in the Remington rifle. Regarding the position sensitive, yes, I understand that. What I have been doing...

I’m glad to hear that 2400 could work with this weight of boolit without going over pressure. I thought that 2400 might be too fast. I’m happy with the 3031 powder but it would use a lot less powder...

To answer some questions….. I’m not sure of the date of manufacturer of this particular rifle. I bought it used. In terms of working up a load, honestly I have not. I’ve used the same rounds that...

Shouldn’t an original 1:10 twist barrel in a 30-06 be able to shoot anything from 110-230 gns? Therefore lobbing a 180 gn at 2250 or so be well within the wheelhouse of possibilities and not out of...

I hear what you’re saying but don’t understand on what I’d be looking for regarding a straight throat? The 200 gn ELDX shoots fine?
Forum: Cast Boolits
Thanx for the reply. And yes. All rifles in question are 30-06’s. Same case prep and everything.

Well am I happy! I took my new sks to the range today and after sighting it in was able with iron sights to do a honest 1 1/4” triangle group at 100m or 110 yards. If I were to die right now I’d die...

the question was asked if the midpoint or 110 yard trajectory was measured or calculated. the 24" rise is actual and where it should be according to the ballistics program is about 14.2"
heres...
Forum: Black Powder Cartridge
I hear ya and that thought didn’t even come to mind as the speed is verified by 6 separate shots all reading 1310-1330 FPS. The exact same powder load pushes a 500 grainer to 1200 FPS. I’m thinking...
