    Bombs for Black Beauty

    Firstly, forgive me if someone has already told me this somewhere. I still don't speak the language.

    On Monday I will hopefully be purchasing my first lot of stuff to make bombs it's all very exciting, especially since I am running out of ammo slowly. Hopefully a good friend will swap some baked goods for the use of his press (yes ebf I'm looking at you, I know how you love my baking!) and I'll be creating deer killing bundles of joy before you know it. Questions though....questions..

    1) In a small quantity (also, what's a small quantity?!) can I store powder just in my house?
    2) HOW should I store it so it doesn't...go off? Get moisture in it? I don't know!!
    3) Same questions for projectiles
    4) Should I buy more 308 brass? What kind?
    5) What do I ask for when I want projectiles?
    6) Am I wasting my time and money buying some manufactured ammo?

    Thank you in advanced. Please don't tell me I want "a six inch populating tool" when I go to the counter at the shop......

    Its fun but if you don't shoot heaps I'm sure there will be nothing wrong with factory ammo.

    This may be true to an extent but going by a few of her write ups I have read she will find it therapeutic and fun more than anything........ Well at least for the first few hundred.
    Will give you good satisfaction when you finally get your deer knowing it was all YOU, failing that can only blame yourself

    Some clubs are a good source of powder, brass and target projectiles for practice as they buy in bulk and cheap at the start of the season.
    Like the others have said store it as it came, and try avoid fondling your projectiles if you want them to stay shiny. My gear just lives in a box or the safe with damp rid and a few silica packs.

    Get amongst it!

    Powder is generally bought in pound or kilo for the likes of vita vori
    Store it in its original container.
    House not sure.
    Projectiles, what did Abe load ya?
    Actually ask Abe for the load data for it.
    Brass how much have you got now? Do you need more?
    Should be good for 7+ reloads

    Can't help sorry Dougie. i don't know Jack shit about this stuff
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    1) pound tin 0.5 kilo, preferably locked away, also depends on your insurance policy.
    2) original packaging, tin
    3) you'll probably buy 100 or 500 pills at a time, I don't think they need any special storage.
    4) use your existing brass for now
    5) we can talk on Monday, will search thru the black beauty thread, it's in there somewhere
    6) yes, unless you run out of ammo in an emergency

    I don't have a press at home (yet) In the short term we just need access to someone's shed with a press, coz you have dies.

    It's possibly buried in the build thread.

    Negative. At least I don't recall anything in there! Just boom stick, dies, ammo and bolt and heaps of rags

    ta, ebf



    other suggestions for heads so far: 129 SST, barnes 127 ?




    put in

    140 berger vld hunting

    bore height????

    sighted in at 150M

    speed was 2780 ish will still hit out long way if its a little out from there, i sent dougie the load info final load was so its all known.............



    Lapua .260 brass

    210 primer

    44gr n560

    140gr berger vld hunting

    OAL 2.87"



    Some others on here could get it faster with there loading but its not all about speed, load is just book max in the end an will out out shoot most, Going by the weaver sight for the scope if sighted in for 200yards on centre then the other bars are add 100yards for each post with the 260 an 140s

    so with 150m zero

    next post 280m

    next 380m

    next 480m .......................ISH

    I think he means as in if your rifle can shoot factory ammo good it should do better with reloads

    If we use ADI powder instead of the Vihtavuori, which flavor would you guys recommend ?

    2206H, 2208 or 2209 ?

    Would have though 2206h would be on the fast burning side for all but the lightest bullets.
