Blagg - Howdy ! If your wanting soemthing on-the-order of a " ball " equivalent of IMR4350, might I suggest you try some surplus "D85" powder. In my 6mm wildcat (case capacity very close to that of 6 X 47 ) D85 gave performance that struck me as it being basically just that. With...

CY - Howdy ! DOes the GP-100 fit your hand well ? It may not, if your hands are towards the large size. Regards, .357Mag

Terry - Howdy ! The " blue haze " conditions and convective activity North Central Indiana is capable of, are certainly a real challenge.... make you " squint like Clint". One off-the-wall thing you might try ( if you can stand it ) is: shoot while wearing one of the more exotic shades...

Paul - Howdy ! I like great singing... great singers. Superb harmonies...... great " Rock ".... The Who - " Can't Explain " J. C. Fogherty - " Born on the Bayou " Kinks - " All Day, and all of the Night " Doobie Bros - " Rockin' Down the Highway" The Monkees - " Valerie "...

LG - Howdy ! I shoot a 6mm wildcat, based on 7 X64 Brenneke as the parent brass ( .466" base diam ). I have used only Norma brand 7X64 brass, to-date. Many have called Noram brass " soft ". I anneal the shoulder juncture on the 7X64 brass, before doing the neck-down/shoulder "...

Ball - Howdy ! You might try contacting Tom Meredith and perhaps even Fred Sinclair about potential " old-school" BR rifle stocks. Tom is in Ft. Wayne, IN. Fred operated out of New Haven, IN.... and perhaps still does ? I was " there" in the mid -70s ( exposed to -70's benchrest rifles...

vintage DSM - Howdy ! " ..Set the Way-Back Machine, Sherman... " This woulda been a "left-nut" rig, 35yr ago ! Regards, 357Mag

Vani - Howdy ! IMHO - Just about ANY Marlin lever gun made in the original Connecticut factory ( pre- "Remlin" ). Especially... the cowboy-action chamberings. I've read that these have already been snapped-up, but have seen a stainless .357Mag @ a local gunstore. I glommed-onto one of...

L.G> - Howdy ! A ball powder sub for I4350 is " D85 ". In my tests ( high capacity .224" cal wildcat and 44gr capacity 6mm wildcat ), D85 came-off as being basically "ball" 4350. I didn't think that D85 burned sooty. You might also want to consider VV160 ? With regards...

Laser - Howdy ! Perhaps I am misreading your post ? If you want to form .308 Win, you could expand the necks of say .243 Win brass, or exapnd 7mm-08 brass; or neck-down .358Win to .308. Redding lists a variety of case forming dies, pretty much for some of the more popular cases ( that...

PD- Howdy ! Howzabout you add some lenghts of open-ended 55gl drums, elevated immediately outside you shed/window. The barrels could be lined with simple foam slabs to deaden muzzle blast. An assortment of slots around the periferee of the drums would help let heated air out; and not...

SKeets - Howdy, again !! Same song..... second verse...... I STILL recommend my wildcat .22-35Rem. For an idea of capabilites in a .224" calibre wildcat case of the .22-.35Rem to .22-250AI range, let me say this about that: If you are fond of .224" cal, even a .22-35Rem sized case...

Zeke - Howdy ! For hyper-accuracy work, one challenge would be the trigger If trigger pull is on-the-order of 4lb, shooting tight/tightest groups possible w/ the gun might be problematic. I'm not sure there is an after-market trigger to help that, with the gun in question. With a Rem...

Joe - Howdy ! My $ .02 ..... Back when I and a good friend started precision shooting, the .222s and 6X47 were THE darlings of the BR crowd. The PPCs, especailly 6PPC changed all that. My BR-shooting buddy has often stated that one reason for the 6X47's demise was that shooters sometimes...

Twenty - Howdy ! The barrel block has a big following in the benchrest " Rail Gun " class, and also in LR rifles for 1,000yd + I set my varmint/paper-punching rifle up W/ a barrel " clamp ", so that I could float the action; ala' 1,000yd gun practice. One driver to use of barrel...

Jawbreaker - Please check your PM's. Regards, .357Mag

.224" calibre for 1,000 Drags - Howdy ! After using my .22-35Rem wildcat to get into the 500yd club, I decided to try some shots on paper @ 1,000. While the 510yd groundhog kill was made shooting a 24" 1-14 5-groove SS Hart, for 1,000yd; I'd be shooting .22-35 re-barrelled /...

Jadams - Please read your PM;s, Thanx, .357Mag

Gene - Howdy ! I used to use the stuff that came with the ( former ) Bonanza inside neck lube kit. I believe the stuff was " motor Mica ". When it ran out, I used simple graphite lube, in a plastic squeez bottle I bought @ NAPA. I just poofed some into the Bonanaza red neck lube box, whenever...

Wood - Howdy ! Sierra 6mm 85HPBTs out-grouped " all-comers " in my 6mm 29" Broughton SS 1-8 "5C"-rifled barrel. Sierra 6mm 85HPTBs were more consistent on bullet wt per box, than any other factory OR custom bullets I weight checked. This includes things like Sierra, Berger, Hornady...
