Bear Creek 170grn bullet($28.00 per 400). 10grns Unique...velocity about 1400fps. Or 8.5 grns Green dot...velocity around 1300 fps. Green Dot load slightly more accurate, but groups 3" lower than the Unique load. Good accuracy, but will run out of elevation at 100yds. May need shorter front sig...

Tycer, For the best accuracy, I like a snug fitting case with very little headspace. Maybe a thou or two. I would fireform the cases first with regular loads and blow the shoulders forward. I would set up my dies to bump the shoulders back when it becomes difficult to chamber a case. This will give ...

Now I remember why I left England. 363 quid for a 1000 rem 405gr 45-70 bullets

Prices have climbed a lot here in the past 3 years, to the point that I have switched to cast bullets for the larger calibers. I guess paying 25 cents for a jacketed bullet is not so bad after all.

6pt,
I notice that your collection of rifles all have barrel bands. When did marlin start fitting the 444 with forend caps.
Is there any difference with accuracy between the two types.

I have been playing for 15 years, but still am not as good as I should be. I started with about 1 hour per night, then found I got the hang of things quicker by adding another half hour repeat session the next morning.

The Wolf ammo is one of the cheaper brands, that do shoot OK, but are not spectacular in the accuracy department. I have only shot a little of it in the 223, but have shot a lot of steel cased 7.62x 39. The cases are coated to prevent corrosion, so the steel case is not riding directly on the chambe...

Thats interesting. The first batch of brass I bought in 2001 for my then new 45-70, was once fired. I cant remember the company that was selling it, but it was at a good price so I ordered 500 cases. I loaded a few to try with a low charge of IMR4198, but split everyone that I fired. From memory, th...

Travis,
I am attempting to follow this thread, but unless I am missing something, a reply you made was to Idiot. As far as I can tell board member Idiot does not appear in this topic anywhere.

JustaJeep Guy,
You are correct, it is also one of the many tpes of arthritis. Gouty Arthritis.

Thanks Perry, I was just curious. Travis, you are clearlly jumping to wrong conclusions. This is a type written forum and there is no sound, except for the noises in your head. I am not sure if I have been to your range, and even if I have, I have not shot at your silhouette targets. I do not even s...

flatnose

Perry,
Do they actually test your ammo to see if it is within their requirements?
How do they enforce it?

Hi Dan, Cant really add much to the above comments. All i can say is 150grn jacket round or flat nose bullet, Winchester large rifle primers, and a 8lb keg of win748. Work up powder to max book load, and if all feels right in the workup with no problems, call it done. The rest of the accuracy comes ...

Travis, I have suffered with arthritis since I was 25 years old. It occurs most from the cold damp environment in which I used to live. I was not sure of the type which I had/have, but it got increasingly worse to the point my back was giving me constant pain, and finally it was hurting to walk. Eve...

Travis,
Wht type of arthritis do you have?

Thanks, I did a quick bit of research to find out what the oak and ivy looks like. It seems there is none in the garden. I learned a hard lesson with cactus once. The father inlaw wanted to cook some up, (mexican dish) so he asked me to pick some fresh cactus. Didn't take but a few minutes, but my h...

I have been stung plenty of times by nettles, even fell in a patch of them as a kid.
Are the effects of poison ivy or oak worse than nettles?

I dont have a 1895, but shoot the 1886 browning in 45-70. With some powders a grain and a half of powder can make all the difference, even in a large cases.

Its better to suffer in silence than upset someone.

Try the scope on another rifle if possible. Too tight or binding bands may cause this problem. Using the factory ammo, it is possible to get good 3 shot groups, but as the barrel heats up, and it does quickly, you will see sucessive shots move away from the first three. If you want to experiment, re...

Can be many reasons.
Factory or handloads?
resting or standing?
Scope or iron sights?
How many rounds in a string?
How long are you taking to shoot a string?

Here is the quickest way to remove the epoxy finish. Scuff the untouched epoxy with the 100 grit, to increase the surface area the the stripper has to work on. Use the Jasco stripper(gold tin), and slather it on thick. Quickly wrap the stock in a poly bag, I use a black trash bag, to keep the fumes ...

for rifles, front and rear bags, not too soft and not too hard. Settle the rifle into the bags, and shoot with only one hand on the rifle trigger, with the other on the rear bag to squeeze for fine adjustment. The 94 rifles have a forend cap, and I find I can set the front bag further from the recei...

Like most of you, I get the monthly rags from Midway, Midsouth etc etc. I don't buy much, if anything from them most months, and certainly not their ammo.

Yep,
a 41mag will fire-form in a 44mag. Similar effect to what you have Perry.

Arithmatic or arithmatics? Its plural.....right...........i'm off to bed....

KWK, You are correct. I should redo my previous post, but cant be bothered. There is less energy in 1 lb of bunker C #6 than there is in 1 lb of gasoline.

you need to travel more, or not. Ever visited England.

A nice piece of engineering indeed. However, to compare the BSFC of .260 for that engine,which runs on fuel oil, to that of a gas aeroplane or automotive engine with a bsfc of .40, is an unfair comparison. 0.40 bsfc is very good for a gas motor.The density and calorific values are different for both...

okdee, I seem to have missed part of your second post. You state the rifling does not extend all the way to the muzzle. If that is the case, then there is your problem. Get the gunsmith to check it out He maybe able to counterbore and then recrown it. The gas is blowing by the bullet near the muzzle...

flatnose

You may have poor quality bullets. If you slugged the complete barrel length, the measurement you have will be for the tightest spot in the barrel, .454 or .456. You need to slug just the muzzle end of the barrel for the last 3" or so. If the diameter is larger than the tightest spot on your bo...

I just use the plain old lee's. Never had any problems with them, except a 30-06 set, which I think is cut a bit short on length. I adjust the die out accordingly.
