Since I crossing over to the dark side for this ...please be kind to me about that smokeless muck.
Since only gun I load and shoot for now is a lowly 30-30 single shot and I have to keep the pressures down a bit to keep it from spinging and upsetting the shim keeping the headspace at 1.5 Thou and shooting accurately.
I was wondering on your thoughts on a long range bullet to go out to 5-600yrds.Or more
Twist is 1:12 and I'd use smokeless pp but.
Propably in the lower to mid pressure /velocity range.
Think of a minature 45-70 or such.
Iv'e only played with flat points and they go well till I hit the brick wall of the transonic buffetting.
What should I be looking into???
High b.c.
round or pointy bullet.
One with a gas check design so the base acts like a boat tail ...ishy thing.
I know you long range fellas have sorted much of this out long ago.
Any great ideas????
No I can't get to 500 supersonic out of my gun.
I just want to pound the 500yrd gong with primative "spit balls".
In my piece of ****e and outdated thuddy thuddy.
Theory/ techinque ???
I was thinking that I may have to go transonic /subsonic at the 1/2 way point somewhere when the bullet is still tilting up to fall back down straight or some thing.
Need educating heaps
Bruce.
Thanks
