Just Checked the Hornady site, They still offer the .227 dia bullets, was surprised as I had not heard of these in years. Randy

Thanks Karl I knew there was another round out their that used, thought is was on old round from that period, but could not remember to save my life. I am sure someone out there would like to have them, I have not looked at the Hornady site to see if theya re still offered. And I appreciate...

A buddy handed me 5 boxes of Hornady 70 grain .227 dia. bullets last night, I have no use for them. I understand these are hard to come by these days. Anyone shoot these? The only thing I can think of that uses them is an old Hornet or a 22 Jet mag. Randy

Got to back up Jackie A few years ago prior to an Elk hunt in Colorado a buddy of mine brought me his Savage 300 Mag asking me to put a Rifle Basiic trigger in it. After changing it out, we went down to our tunnel to sight our rifles in. I drug along my Custom Mod 70 300 Mag that is a known...

Rusty, Not knowing where nlevesque is located, he might be faced wth the same issue we have in the People's Republic of Mexifornia...... No 22's for deer size game. Here the Black Tails don't get much bigger than a good size Yote..... If he can use a 22, the the 223 would be a good choice...

I may be wrong.. But I do not believe you can make a 461 into a PPC or BR, not enough bolt face. If you want to build a 6mm deer rilfe for short to medium range on a 461, consider a 6X47. Not the new 6x47, the one based on the 222mag that did so well in BR in the 60's and 70's. Ballisticly...

Considering, When the oldest one was printed, I was 10 years old, and I am now 54, they are OLD to me...... lol

If anyone collects old Precision Shooting mags I have some to give away. I am in the process of cleaning out my stuff from my old work shop and found a box of old mags, American Rifleman, Handloader, Rifle Magazine, etc. I was going thru them and found some PS mags from the sixtys. Sep 1964...

Thanks Dick, I looked but did not see it, so I am missing it. I will give Bill a call on Monday, he is one of the good guys. Randy

Dick, did I miss it, I did not see one for the XP-100 pistol? If I did, you sure don't want to go snake hunting with me, lol Randy

Friend came to me looking for a thumbhole stock (preferably laminated) for his XP-100. The only one I could think of was made by Fajen. Anyone know where any of these are or has a used one that can be reworked? Randy

Twud Are you saying the forearm will not fit into the bag, or the forearm does not ride correctly because the conture does not match. Most 3" bags I have seen are made for flat bottom BR stocks. Only guessing here, but is your forearm like a Winchester Targetmaster stock, rounded? If so, you...

Rock, That is the very thing my son pointed out about half way thru the shoot, the oxygen content in the bore. That is one of the reasons I can not put much importance on this experiment, with the limited test equipment (actually, none) this was prob just an excuse to go burn some powder and...

After reading the thread "keeping gun in tune", I was very impressed with Gene Beggs and Jim Bordens discussion. It go me to thinking about what the air inside the barrel was doing as the barrel heated up? My logic (coming from a transplanted Arkie, prob pretty scary) tells me the air is...

Russell, Sorry to hear about you beloved companion. Dogs are amazing, they become part of the family! It is never easy. And thank you for this wonderful thread, been one of the most interesting I have read on this sight and still more to come. I have a surprise experiment I am doing in our...

Looking at getting some new Software for both internal and external balistics. What are your preferences and/or experiencs? Randy

question Gene, I am pretty sure I understand your theory and it certainly makes sense to me. But I have a question: If the changes in ambient conditions by 10 degrees affect the bullet dwell time in the barrel, are missing the fact that the heat of the surrounding metal affects the air...

Wow This is one of the top threads I have had the pleasure of reading..... Keep it going guys, I am glued to this one. Randy

Bullet RPM Pete, Just for fun, I thought I would post a Excell Spreed Sheet I put together awhile back to calculate RPM of a bullet out of different twist rates at different velocities. Just a little part of the puzzle... Randy

Beemanebeme, I never heard that it was introduced to compete with the 222, that is funny by itself. I have seen the 225 be put down many times, all I wanted to do was point out that it was not a bad round, it was actually pretty good. My opinion is at the time, Winchester was gong thru...
