looks like you have stirred up some real interest Abe. I havnt seen this sort of scratching on any other sections in this forum

Not heard that one before

It's a dictionary and they spell two as to in a sentence.

I like a gun that goes BANG! And what I was pointing at is laid out flat. Shiiiiit . . . I'll let others worry about the prep . . . hehehehe

Man, I a bit gutted I can't get 3,400fps with my big 7mm with 180's. Might have to go back to a RUM, but then I was only getting about 3,300fps out of that with 160's and cases were only good for 3 firings...

Oh, and I know what the parent case is... But I'm not telling

Ah! Ha! I hear the jet screaming over heads right now.

It looks to me like there could not possibly be a "right" answer to that question.
Its been thrashed already but you know that.

Brass is fine= you must be using hard brass and it doesn't show pressure like normal so you are over stressing action.

I used a strain gauge and got xyz =
That is too high a pressure.
Your numbers are meaningless due to the variables inhernt in that system.
Im not posting pressures as they are meaningless = so you must be overloading then if you won't post pressure and you have the gear.
A strong action and brass can safely exceed accepted "normal" pressure and is a product of evolution or we would all be shooting 303s etc.= i forget, where did that thread end up?

Constant digs between two members and there mates going in to bat on behalf round and round is wearing thin.

Im friends with the two main targets, when i get a build i will probably end up paying full price at robbies or somewhere cos i don't want to face the why did you get him to build it instead of me .

I didnt mean to imply anything was too hot or overloaded, I was simply putting the shoe out to go on the other foot

All sorts of numbers and results were thrown around for and against 6-12 months ago, the tables have turned and what was said that wasnt achievable then, is now for some strange reason.
Would be far to easy to simply quote comments and use it against the original author, and to point out facts like what was getting called 'dangerous' by one person was infact the EXACT same load that was being loaded by them for their customers.

It really boils down nothing more than a game of dick waving and hypocritical statements.

There is LOTS of cool stuff happening around NZ, and alot of it will never come to the light of day as for the simple reason that the people involved cant be fucked dealing with those that knock it for prob no more reason than they were beaten to the punch.
Im not talking the usual few thou smaller, few thou bigger 'game changers' than appear every 5 mins, but things that have NEVER been done before like new proprietary cases, calibrated terminal ballistic testing, and there is something that maybe only 2 people in the world are doing that reduces indicated signs of pressure in the same case, same loading and same chamber dimensions, and which in itself is SO simple and easy to be justified scientifically however they cant be fucked dealing with the situation of which rung on the ladder they belong on that seems to be all too common when it comes to something 'new'. Its not just here, you see it on every forum that has anything to do with new and different wildcats

The benchmark has been raised anyway; 3300fps with a 300 Berger

KG raised that benchmark himself with a 300gr Berger at 3500fps.

But give Tuiman a bit of a twist and look what comes pouring out!

Everyone gets way to precious and delicate about this stuff. There is no reason why this can't be good natured ribbing. If you went along to a shoot you would see me having them on in the same way, with a grin on my face.

It's not in my nature to take brass tubes and get all emotional about them. It's ridiculous. It's just a gun. Where is the fun in this hobby if you can't discuss, argue, joke and cajole over these things?

When we started all this we considered a rule where all those who could not get along had to meet up for a shoot or a hunt and actually see each other in person.

I'm keen. Time for a long range shoot. I will come with my 6.5 and put my powder where my mouth is. You will see I don't care enough to dig at people. I'm just curious.

Great post Tussock :thumbup:

Have to say this is a great idea, bout time we had another steel shoot... There are some egos that need deflation, most likely mine included...
