powders Willy - Howdy ! The rifle's "expansion ratio " is basically what you are starting to talk about, here. To quote reknowned ballistician Homer Powley, from the Guns & Ammo 1974 Annual: " Expansion Ratio determines how much of the chemical energy, is converted to kinetic energy ". He...

Varmint scopes Calvin - Howdy! Last time I checked, Leupold would swap out reticles in their products; dependent on just exactly what scope you hope to mod. I used a Leupold 6.5 x 20 on my groundhog rifle, for many years. I first sent it to Leupold, and had them stick in their “CPC”...

G.N - Howdy ! Have you ever considered shooting the groundhog shoots @ the Southfork Rifle Club in Beaverdale, PA ? Home of the West Pennsylvania World Groundhog Shooting Championships. With regards, 357Mag

Deuce Mag N.R.- Howdy, again! If your barrel is a 1-14, you’ll need enough vel to stabilize those 62s. If they are long-ish as well, it will be an even bigger challenge. Powders: These days, one has quite a few potential good choices. My benchrest shooting buddy is shooting N-133 in his...

Old time benchrest N.R. - Howdy! I used to live in NE Indiana, and just a scant 5mi from Benchrest Hall-of-Fame’r Fred Sinclair. If memory serves, Fred had shot some world records in benchrest; using .222Mag. I was just getting into accuracy rifle use in the Mid -70’s, just as the 6PPC was...

stevespages Ante - Howdy ! For whatever reason, and on the computer I use to try and access " stevespages ", I've had to search using the following format: steves pages 8d, and not stevespages8d; or stevespages 8d. And... that is to access the brass case spec listings. Don't ask...

potential New world record(s) Jack - Howdy ! Thanx so much for the timely info on Vic's recent exploits ! This is the second time one/some of his targets have been submitted for new world record consideration, within the past few years. Vic is a great shot w/ all types of guns, and...

wildcat brass RCE1 - Howdy ! You might try to fire-form a couple, using a charge of " Bullseye " cover w/ either a tissue paper wad; or wax plug. Fire them off, and see what case oal results. Got that tip from a High Power Shooter, and it worked great on some .35 Remington brass I had...

6XC powders Petr - Howdy ! You're not going to know exactly what powder combustion temperatures you actually obtain w/ any powder; w/ any certainty. Reknowned ballistician Homer Powley developed his " Powley Computer " as an aid to shooters/reloaders, to help w/ things like...

factory + Joe - Howdy ! I DK what the rules or classes might be, for your area shoots ? It sounds to me like your wondering whether you might benefit from shooting a " factory modified " type rifle. Factory Modified rules typically allow for some enhanced features / items on the rifle...

Mini Chism - Howdy ! I was not able to bring-up your pics, but sounds like you have a Wichita "Mini" action; which is a " shell holder " type action.... as was mentioned. I've had 2 of these. They are a 3 lug, per se. Fred Sinclair talked me into trying one of these on my first BR...

angle GN - Howdy ! Ideally, the shoulder angle and neck lg together would combine to keep the powder combustion " turbulence point " inside the case' neck; according to former Savage Arms engineer Robert Greenleaf. I'm inclined to agree. More modest shoulder angles or those in the "...

Alinwa - Howdy! I very much enjoy reading your post, also ! Lively & informative ! With regards, .357Mag

base bleed Alinwa - Howdy ! Please take as info only ...... " base bleed" tech for artillery rounds not same execution / result as " RPG " rounds. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M864 With regards, .357Mag

outside the box Alinwa- Howdy ! Some mental masturbation.... Perhaps a " base bleed " type of projectile could be used, to introduce combustion gasses into the suppressor; in-addition to the gasses of the propellant charge ? A large diam hollow-base bullet could hold the base bleed...

groundhog matches GK - Howdy ! Factory ammo being as $$$ as it can be, perhaps the " point " at which you start reloading is..... now ? Loading your own is one avenue towards controlling shooting costs, and also towards finding/developing the most accurate loads. It's a matter of...

torque Jerry - Howdy ! " Apples and ...... " FWIW - My barrel " clamp " set-up uses doubled-up " plumbing clamp " plates, w/ 1/4 - 20 carriage bolts & nylon insert " jam nuts ". I've been running 24 in lb, set / verified using a good quality torque wrench. Clamp location and...

barrel block Alinwa - Howdy ! The Wichita WBR1375 action shown, is " floated ", like many " barrel block " rifle actions are. The clamp arrangement and comparative low recoil of the " DEEP 6 " wildcat (in a rifle this wt ) really negated need to use a recoil lug. It was easiest for...

barrel block All - Howdy ! I'm not the best shot... by no means. My best ever 5-shot 100yd groups ( IMHO ) is included in the pics. The rig WILL shoot... provided I do my part !! With regards, 357Mag
