Thanks for the responses everyone. Now to go back and read the section on dippers I skipped over... Either way it looks like this will take a few trips to the range to clear up, which certainly isn't a bad thing.
Thanks Uncle Duke,
Good point! This is one of those times I wish I'd have devoted more time to college trig LOL... Going to read up on this and crash on it, and wanted to thank you and the other folks who chimed in on my question. This is a wonderful resource! Kind regards, Dave
Hadn't thought of that but makes sense. As I did here I traditionally presumed weight as the controlling factor but, like tracer vs ball, length can certainly be different. Unfortunately I've not seen published data of things like bullet length. Hopefully one of the producers will shed some...
Thanks for the quick responses. I was thinking test barrel length and seating but tried to keep it too simple. Still seems a long way off though. I've had no problems using Lee's Modern Reloading data (sticking to > or = min OAL specs per) but this is the furthest deviation I've run across to...
Recently got in a batch of 62 grain FMJ bullets to reload for my ARs. This is my first experience with loading 62g bullets and I noticed some rather severe conflicts in my load data. Hodgdon's online data for H4895 w/ a 62 grain bullet lists a 21 grain minimum load (2740 fps @ 42,300 psi) and...
Anyone have any book (reliable) load data for 9mm Luger using Red Dot? I'm adding a few more data manuals to my library but until I lay eyes on each it is a hit or miss proposition for specific data. Bottom line, I've been reloading since the mid-80's and have worked up and been using Red Dot...
I am in the process of putting together some reduced loads for my M1916
Spanish mauser but I cannot find some of the data I need. Without getting into the debate over whether or not it is safe to shoot full-power .308 ammo (I've done more reading on that than I care to) what I can say is the...
I've posted more this evening than almost ever- though usually quiet, can't help but compliment you on this SVT. The stock is beautiful and condition appears darned good for weapon through what it has been. To say the least. Thanks for the info, I love learning from folks here.
I can't argue with the more experienced fox hunters here, but after decades of trapping & hunting fox, I've never seen a group like that. I find it telling you equated them to mini-coyotes. Those, even here in semi-suburbia, I have seen over the last ten years for the first time. Never a coyote...
Depends on what dies, reloading gear, primers and powders you have on-hand. I'd forget a progressive press. I have 4 shotgun reloaders and even the cadillac of them all isn't worth what it was when I was shooting 500 or more rounds per week in the 80s. I have shot etc on-hand but not worth my...
Well, I've seen more than a few here already but here is my eye-candy. I like the look, feel, and prefer it over the same old thing... ah, my CZ-82, that is...
