    6x47L accuracy???

    6 x 47 Skeets - Howdy ! While I have heard that the original " 6 X 47 " of 35-40yr ago was touchy and oft=times not consistently accurate; I' ve read nothing of the sort written about the new-wave 6 X 47. I'll defer to others... Regards, 357Mag

    30br vs 6ppc

    6mm or .308 cal Chris - Howdy ! Everybody and their grandma shoots 6PPC for BR. Use of .30BR is certainly do-able, but recoil IS a question; esp in the gun wts the classes currently allow. Bullet choices for .30 BR are somewhat less in numbers, the they are if one were to go 6mm. Can't...

    Re#22 or IMR 7828

    .22-250 ai Worker - Howdy ! If you have both powders available, I'd suggest the RL-22. Probably will render higher vel of the two. Perhaps even better..... some AA3100 IF you got it. My similar-sized .224" calibre wildcat would produce " bolt effort " upon openeing with a simple .1g r...

    Sorting Bullets For Long Range

    Sorting bullets RCW - Boy.. I have a hard time believing you need spurious input from an inconsistent shooter like me. I have gone to sorting ( 6mm ) bullets by weight; and have since cut-down on the random fliers a bit. I also think, I need to start mic'ing necks. What convinced me to...

    ??? on who to send a 36x to have it bumped

    boosting a 36X Tgtsniper - Howdy ! If yours is a Leupold or Weavet 36X, you can simply order Gene Davis optical booster ( 2X or 3X I believe ) for a nominal $100.00 even; shipped For those that like 'em, its a comparatively in-expensive way for one to obtain higher magnification; w/o...

    Matco barrels

    MATCO Barrels 44-40 Howdy ! The MATCO barrels I'm aware of, orignated from North Manchester, IN. Originally... a gent named Bob " RED " Scherer was producing cut-rifled barrels in North Manchester; under the roof of Scheutz ( " sheets " ) Bros gunstore. In the late 70s ( I beleive )...

    5.7x28 fn in a Rifle?

    small .22 calibreCF Any - How 'bout a .22 Jet ? Expand necks to .224" cal ( up from .223 ). Can be made from .357Mag brass. Rimmed case, great for a SS like a Contender or H & R. Just a thought. Regards, 357Mag

    22M Rimfire single shot?

    .22 Mag single shots GMJ - One could probably $$$ an el cheepo H & R break-open single shot in 22 LR, then $$$ a nominal fee to have a gunsmith kiss it w/ a .22 mag reamer. Regards, .357Mag

    What would cause the velocity to go up at lower temperatures?

    Pressure increase @ low temp TB - This will be quick, before the rubber gun guys get here.... My 6mm wildcat shoots it's initial fouling shot ( or two ) high @ 100yd, when I aim it at paper. It has always done this. 1/8" high and left, when it' s warm out. More... when it's cold(er)...

    22x47 Lapua ?

    22 x 47 Sam - My 2 cents.... If you are going for live varmint, " dead is dead ". Unless you just HAVE TO see the red mist, consider going w/ a 1-8 barrel of up to 30" lg. Since you intend to use it as a " place gun ", wt is not a factor. You wanna keep the expansion ratio out of the...

    VV High Energy powders

    VV high energy powders Bob - Kaltron-Pettibone told me that VV 500 series powders were developed for and intended principally for use w/ heavy bullets in each calibre. They specifically did load data work-up w the .308, and some too w/ .243 Win .... if memory serves. While I have not tried...

    Age old Question - Revolver or Pistol

    Revolvers Old Ttimey - I vote revolver..... Especially if you don't practice, much. Also, if you want to keep things " simple ". Not only the revolvers simplicity of design, but also in its operation. Acquisition costs are typically lower than the semi-autos. I' ve carried an "N" frame...

    6mm 95 Grain SMKs

    6mm bullets Howdy - The 95MKs shot good fo me, in a stiff breeze, coming in almost 90* tot he axis of the bore. I was not as impressed with their wt consistency. For best groups, I feel one would want to wt-sort these bullets. In MY rifle, Sierra 85 BTHPs out-shot not only the 95MKs; but...

    Short Range BR stock and big barrels?

    Super Bench AI - Howdy ! I tried a 28" K & P .224" cal SS barrel in a .22 wildcat; conventional bedded in a Lee Six Hunter bench stock. The barrel had a Palma taper. As it turned out, the long 28" barrel was too muzzle heavy for the bedding job ( which included bedding under the...
