9 revives for me memories of 22-cent gasoline, farms open to hunting with a knock on the door, and rifles proudly displayed in glass-fronted cases in living rooms. I use it for most bore cleaning. Ammonia-based solutions like Montana X-Treme’s Bore Cleaner, Barnes CR-10 and Copper ...
Based on my experience, however, I’d recommend variable magnification in most cases. Having the extra versatility to draw back your sight and see more of the terrain when necessary could be invaluable during specific hunting scenarios. When I’m hunting deer, for example, I prefer to be able...
My son Ricky Call just purchased 500 .357 Mag brass , for me and I have just full length sized 53 cases to reload, and find that 7 do not measure up to the 1.280 trim length. they run from 1.275 to 1.278. Please check this out for others, and I will mail you the seven if you...
In some cases the change in catalog velocity is due to the availability of inexpensive chronographs. Many of the old velocities were taken in 26" test barrels built to minimum specifications, and when consumers got access to chronographs, they found that factory loads did not deliver the advert...
For me, that makes sense, because I just don’t have the time. But obviously these guys are all better shooters than me, so the 6mm Dasher and other 6BR based cases are all great options as well. And who knows, one day we may all be running 6 PPC! Thanks, Cal Reply Tim ...
In this case, I obtained that figure of 34.6gr H20 for 22 ARC case capacity by measuring the powder capacity of 5 individual 22 ARC expended cases (Hornady brass) and averaging their measured capacity. Now let’s dive into the specifics of this cartridge that I just teased. ...
Granted, not everybody is as lucky as I am, but regardless of your circumstances, if you have a glass that is half empty/full, I suspect one of the following two cases is often true: 1) You enjoy what’s in the glass, and you want it to be topped off, or 2) You’re not enj...
(all else being equal) it takes a faster bullet to win a match against the wind at long range, where fractions of an inch make the difference in point score. The PRC’s were designed “first” for target, having no belt, extremely concentric and in some cases can shoot a heavier ...
a bolt-action that was fed by a five-shot detachable box magazine mounted atop the weapon in a fashion similar to the famous Bren light machine gun. Empty cartridge cases were ejected from the bottom of the action rather than the top. Just the loaded magazine weighed some 2.6 pounds, and...
deviation was 0.12 grains, with a minimum of 30.13 and maximum of 30.88. With the expectation of 20 to 35 fps muzzle velocity per grain variation in case capacity, I expected the velocity variation to be between roughly 15 and 25 fps between the cases near the min and those near the max...
