When I did expansion testing on Hawk Bullets in my 404J, every single bullet separated the jacket from the core. When I contacted their engineer, he blamed it on yaw. Either via bullet alignment to the bore as part of my reloading methods or not enough twist rate.
My expansion test is dry...
I'm a Swarovski (1st) and Leupold (2nd) for rifle scopes. When I find a Z6 (Z6i) at a good price, it's go time. Recently snagged a Z5i and equally pleased.
I will NEVER...not ever again own a Minox (Blaser Corp is parent). Have had issues with 2 out of 3 of their scopes. Their warranty service...
PrecisionReloading(dot)com just received a huge shipment of Alliant Powder. Rdlr7, 10, 15, 15.5, 16, 19, and 25. PwrPro2000
They have advised due to Nitrocelulous shortages they don't expect to ship more pwder for a while.
Looks so... custom shop not even listed on their website now. Wonder if they'd just swap the reticle in the repair shop? The illuminated B&C is still listed as available on the site.
I'll dig through my expansion test photos. I have a 400gr Woodleigh SN, loaded to 2160fps muzzle velocity. Did an expansion test at 50yds. Test was dry magazine, pine 2x4, 5 water jugs to stop. (Had 3 more water jugs just in case - to capture the bullet.) Memory serves it came out at 360gr+/-...
MidwayUSA just got in Remington 9 1/2M (Large Rifle MAGNUM) Primers. $120+$23Hazmat and limit (1) brick per order.
Steep but if you really need them...
@Flewis - do you know if that individual with a #1 in 600JDJ is willing to part ways with it? I have a 500NE #1 and would be interested to talk to them. I've been looking for the 470NE as well. Saw one in GB a long time ago, missed opportunity.
Not sure what is viewable... Uploaded 2 photos, only showed 1 (the 2nd photo - on the bullseye.) Then tried to edit the post. Only to show the 2nd photo. Then tried to delete it, it won't. Made a 2nd reply of getting on target (nice group even if just getting on target).
That's enough internet...
The first photo was getting on target with the scope.
The second photo is dialed in (100yds). Disregard the 308Win holes. I shoot small caliber first, then large to save targets.
(Both 3 shot groups)
The load is Hornady 500gr RN Interlocks stuffed on top of 92grs of IMR-4350, ignited with...
Seems everyone is looking for a solution to a problem that doesn't exist; I decided it was time to get on the bandwagon.
In April, I ordered a barrel from SSK Industries in 450 Nitro 3 1/4". My goal was a 500gr at 2150fps. The muzzle brake is only a place holder until my big bore suppressor is...
Initial bidder likely put a starting bid in at 7500. Then, went back and increased their bid to cover being outbid at a later point, especially if the end time is when they are at work or traveling and can't follow the auction.
Check out Reloading International (dot) com - based out of Oregon. On their home page, search bar, enter North Fork and it will bring up the full line up and inventory. They have gotten quite a shipment in. Nearly everything in stock and in ample quantities.
In my convo with CCI: #34 primer was designed to prevent slam fires in semi-auto/full auto firearms. I asked if that meant they were used for 300Win Mag ball powder ammo. That was a NO. 308win ball powder was what they were designed for to ensure proper ignition in all conditions (Arctic to...
A little shooting off the sticks tonight at 50yds. This is (2) 3 shot groups using 340gr North Fork SS in the 404Ruger. First 3 shots with Reloder 15 (1 top left and 2 bottom right) and the second 3 shots with MR-2000 (1 top right and and 2 bottom left). Neither horrible but I've shot A LOT...
Thought Bertram stepped up their game considerably. They're the go-to brass for the Extreme Long Range competition, Cheytec cartridge line... Is that not the case (crude pun)???
Bertram Brass has some coming in the container that recently landed in the US. Should be shipping in the coming week. Reach out to them for exact shipping date.
