At the risk of generalizing I agree with Hobie. I had a similar problem with a tang sight, and corrected it myself by bedding the sight base to the tang. Shim the base to the correct angle with masking tape affixed to the tang. Degrease the sight base, and roughen it lightly with some 80 grit emory ...

Just noticed the beartooth bullets have gaschecks, so you may push them harder... more velocity. If you are interested in lower velocities of around 1350fps, order up some 180grn bullets from bear creek supply. They will run you $28.00 for 400 bullets. My barrel is a 1 in 10 twist and it loves them.

flatnose

I like a 180grn bullet over 10grns of unique. The longer bullets are easier to handle when reloading. They also offer a longer bearing surface for better grip on the rifling, and may prevent skipping in the bore(maybe not a real problem anyway). Also there is less bullet jump to reach the lands. The...

I dont know about firefox, but try this.
Move your pointer to the top of the page onto another toolbar if you have one, then right click mouse on an empty space on that toolbar. A menu bar should open, and the rest is self explanitory.

Joe,
I think the bearing suface is only important in respect that there must be sufficient area to impart a rotation to the projectile. The amount of twist required is related to the mass, length and velocity of the projectile.

I wonder how the greehill formula can be modified for future bullets made of less dense materials. eg. copper solids, or sintered materials?

The stock can probably be refinished without stripping back to bare wood. Chips in the finish can be built up with epoxy resin. Get a small amount of catalyst and resin from a boat yard or from a fiberglass laminating shop. Build up the chips and dents with a few applications. Use a block and sand w...

shooter,
I have what you need here. I am about to put up a few action parts for sale, but due to lack of spring cleaning organising skills, I have put the bag of parts down, but can't remember where.
I have a gate srew in the bag.

Mold temp not stable, or pot temp changing. Make sure lead is clean and well fluxed. A 5grn variance on a 405grn bullet wont make a lot of difference to accuracy.
Weight sort your bullets if you want better tolerances.

AJMD429, Physics is physics, and means little in this case unless you have accurate measurements. I would switch it off at night especially if the building is unoccupied for 10 or 12 hours.

Use heat. Most epoxies break down at 165 to 180 degrees.

mac,
It is not impossible to have a bad batch of bullets. Bad cores can upset the flight of the bullet. Weigh a few of them if you can. If light ones start showing up, maybe voids in the cores.

How in the heck do you get 20 grains of 2400 under a 160grn bullet?

Ackley did a lot of experimenting, but I didn't realise they had crack back then.

afish4570, If you are shooting at dusk or low light, I would tend to go with the largest objective lens I can get. I have used 32mm lenses, and its hard on my eyes as the light goes down. Find a scope with good eye relief, there is nothing worse than chasing or trying to find an image in the rear le...

I have been using the UNI knot for over 40 years. Started using it for snelling hooks, and now use it for everything. The only other 2 knots I use is for dropper loops and the Rapala knot.
The uni is great for joining lines of same or different strengths, and it keeps knot tying simple.

You need to look at the position of the front mounting screws. Some recievers had mounting screw holes radially drilled in the front of the receiver. The most common have the hole at the top. I use all redfield one piece bases on my ae's. Can't remember where I bought them, but pn. is REDFIELD 511293

Good luck Joe, and post your results please.
Leverbob, how about a post on your bullets. It would be interesting to read about any results you may have.

Mr Miller, May I make a suggestion? I have tried most of the loads that you have listed, using the Bear Creek 180grn bullet, with the exception of the 4320 powder. I experienced bad bore fouling within two or three shots... hopefully your results may differ. I would suggest shooting the unique loads...

I agree with Sarge. I have the Lee perfect powder measure, which operates like a piece of rubber mounted junk, but it measures charges just as good as anything else. Its accurate to within 0.1grn, at least with the powders I use. I will never rely on any powder thrower 100%, and always check every 5...

flatnose

One more suggestion for the pot......can't hurt. I think I would try your previous best loads, and seat the bullet out until you reach the lands. It is possible that you will have to start chasing the lands due to erosion. Too much bullet jump can cause the problems you have, by uneven engraving of ...

Be advised that burning kerosene will put a lot of moisture into the air. I think its 1 gallon of water for every gallon of kero burned. I am not sure, but I think propane is worse for moisture.

TedH,
Mine shoots the same, although it is a 1909 Argentine mauser. 52grn Hornady hpbt over 34 grns of imr 4064, or for a high velocity load of win760 (max charge) with the same bullet.
My custom 94 win 22-250R with the imr load and rem 50grn hollow points has shot even better groups.
Congrats.

Out of a pack of 50 new cases, I expect to lose 1 or 2 cases due to splitting at the mouth. I now anneal my brass every first and 3rd firing.

2ndovc, To add to the above suggestions, I would fire some more 3 shot groups, allowing for barrel cooling period in between. If you lay your last 3 targets on top of each other, you will see that you have some kind of group in the making. The last target low shot looks like you may have pulled that...

aussie chris, Maybe someone else can explain it to me, but I dont see that the dovetails are tapered either way. I have cut a few on the mill and cleaned them up with a file if required.

I have experienced large variations in powder densities in similar powder from different kegs. Even to the point of wondering if the keg had been mis labeled.
This happend only once, and I had to work up my loads again. I managed to reach the previous grain weight for the charge with no ill effects.

Tycer, It would be good to know if financing can be obtained with 10 or 20% down on the property. It will give you a clue to its saleability currently, and in the future if you want to sell it.
