The trouble with 410 and soft lead balls stacked on top of the other is the they get squashed into cylinders on firing.
Personally I found better results going as big as you can get in the case. Then when they compress on firing they are kind of square as in height verses diameter.

How would you explain his style of writing Jim?

I enjoyed reading Isaiah chapter 55 today.
Recently enjoyed the letters of Peter also.
New world translation and Byington version.

Fantastic day Jim.
Your wife was gifted.
Thanks for taking us along.

Nath

I'm sorry Len.

Awesome.
Thor's hammer looks like a toffee hammer now!

Say, would a 10g hull make a wrap for that slug?

Nath

Was out with my mossy last night.
I have opened the choke. Much better!

Nice shooting.
Had me some 22 varmint shooting after work yesterday.
On the way home I shot a crow off hand.
Paced it off at 209 paces, yes I was shocked also! Purley guessed the hold over.
Fiocchi sub sonic.
The crows beak is pointing to the firing point.

Patterned it today at 40yds.
Paper was only 19" x 17.5".
11/16oz of 7.5 shot.
82 on paper out of a possible 241.
About 30%>
I'm quite impressed!

I started with 220 and finished with 320..
I kept the 320 going untill it was worn away.
Got a good polish.

Nath

I tested the new choke yesterday on pigeons over wheat.
The first seven birds fell to nine shots. The ratio has improved and distance not affected!
Well worth the effort

Nath

Isn't 296 similar to h110?

H110 isn't bad in 410 but I still prefer the new 2400. Not tried the 300mp.

Nath

If your Remington has a good chamber it will help. A slack chambe has the plastic swelling. I actually prefer a2400. It gives good power.

Nath

Good luck with the case life! 410 cases don't last long I found. It's quite high pressure for a plastic case. I find they swell around the payload area..

Nath

Best wishes to your Norma Len

Nath

Good for you.

Nath

Decided the choke is way to tight. .385"!
But not anymore!
.400"

Gunny, I have a load for my garden.
It's 1/4 Oz of small shot, toilet paper wadding and some green dot.

Found some pigeon hitting the standing wheat so filled my pockets with 410 cartridges and had some fun

Going to see if I can get the barrel in a chuck tomorrow.

Smart move on the recoil shield.
On range days I would stuff an old newspaper in my coat.

It sucks getting old, gets in the way of shooting

I would re emphasize the strength of this gun in withstanding the pressure that blew the barrel off the gun. This was not a new gun, as you can see, it was a well used rifle. The round in the chamber wasn’t the only round discharged in the blow up. One round in the magazine went off at the same tim...

Nath

I don't agree with Steve's comments. Just how many is it of these rifles that have let go because of failed links? I also don't think much of the calculus for bolt thrust. It's hypothetical and theoretical. The locking mechanism is not subject to a portion of peak pressure, possibly via the primer, ...

Nath

Good video len. As ever.

Keep your cylinders warm and the oil circulating Len buddy.

I'll have to Google that keltec!

It takes more faith to believe man's theory of evolution than to believe the obvious that there was intelligent design involved in life on earth. A creator.
I know of nothing useful that was not designed!

Excellent Jim.
I've been plinking with my 22 a fair bit also. And the 17 HMR.
Good practice.

Back-In-The-Last-Century I hunted and shot with a Fellow Shooter who had a Springfield M1873 Cadet Rifle. Not being a caster, he fired Remington 300g JHP and 405g Soft Points at Lyman recommended loads for original M1873 rifles. John claimed that after about 3 years of shooting, accuracy started to...

Nath

Nath, I was interested in your question so I turned to the Lyman 50th Edition reloading manual. It does in fact list a 300 grain, a 350 and a 400 grain jacketed bullet for 1873 Springfield Trapdoors, however in the text preceeding the loading tables it states, "The exclusive use of cast bullet...

Nath

Thanks fellers. So how come there are no accounts headed "Hey, I shot my Springfield barrel out using jacketed bullets" anywhere?? I'm going to guess that, probably... you don't see that because most folks don't like to publicly announce their idiocy! Lyman states in their reloading handb...

Yes gentlemen, I know all the above. What I don't know of is actual evidence that using non mono lead bullets does indeed damage early steel barrels!

Thanks fellers.

... Springfield trapdoors?

Someone said they would not use anything other than lead in original barrels BECAUSE of the soft steel.
Really???
Is it softer than copper or copper alloys?

What say ye all?
