    So what happens when you get a little bit of bullet set-back, crap in your barrel, or a production lot with a slight overcharge? How about hot environments and varying atmospheric conditions? We're...

    My problems with 277 Fury, are that it really doesn't save much weight or size vs 308, and it requires insane pressure to defeat level IV. I'd prefer something closer to a modernized 280 British,...

    I think he is implying that it may be backwards. The Navy recently had a hi-profile incident, involving a backward optic, so perhaps that is fresh on Mr. Hogtamer's mind....

    Ahh, that's helpful. It looks old to me, but I don't really know what commercial German ammo packaging typically looks like.

    Sounds like 55 Boys, an old British anti-tank round. How many do you have?

    Is this 4mm Kurz, or something else entirely?

    I purchased two of these on a lark recently. They were sitting next to an open tin of 4mm Kurz, but neither I nor the seller had any real idea what they might be. 326697326698

    They are fantastic little guns and I certainly miss mine. When it came to ammo, it was a garbage disposal, and suppressed well. Some people are very dismissive of PCCs, but I consider them to be much...

    Is that the original barrel? A friend of mine has one, which we went out shooting the other day. All the ammo was made by me, using .515" projectiles; it shot very well. I wonder if it also has such...

    Personally, I'd go with the original bore diameter. However, with lead projectiles, I doubt it's going to harm anything. Heck, I put plenty of .311"-.313" projectiles down barrels with .308"-.309"...

    There is some old Starline 50-70 brass floating around out there, with a significantly smaller rim diameter; the headstamp says 50-70, but they may have originally been made for 348 Winchester....

    That's why I am asking; I know that real black powder cannot have any gap, but I wasn't sure about Triple 7 pellets specifically.

    Triple Seven 50/50 Pellets

    I was a bit torn on just where to post this, hopefully the right person will see it. Anyway, I have some Triple Seven pellets that I got for free a while back, and I'd like to use them up. A friend...

    I'm pretty sure it has more to do with parents shoving tablets into the hands of toddlers. These kids are addicted to glowing screens, endless video clips, and social media, nearly from the womb.

    100 Grain SWC, 2.7 Grains of Red Dot. According to Speer No 8 (printed in 1970), that is actually below max for the S&W Long. This might be an example of downloading over the years. 324304
