   6.5 CRD liked post by Pommy On thread : Powder in Greek HXP .303 MKVII?

   I would like to reiterate my point that old dirty ass BL-C(2) is not what's responsible for making that ammo gel well with your rifles. The same as your car will run fine on petrol from Z and NPD,...

   Unlikely to be anything commercially available today. And it's a bit of a fools errand tbh. If it shoots well, it does so in spite of 70 year old ball powder, not because of it. There's no way you...

   6.5 CRD liked post by gimp On thread : Testing a conventional approach to load development

   I do have a suspicion that the entire sport of benchrest is based on a fallacy, and is an exercise in playing in the noise and thinking it's meaningful.

   A conventional approach to load development is: 1. Select a powder and projectile that appear suitable 2. Identify the OAL or comparator length to the lands 3. Load a series of rounds in...

   6.5 CRD liked post by Friwi On thread : GPO 4-16 "compact" FFP

   Ok , so I have one, and it is still in its box as my intention was to mount it on an Howa mini. The plus: short compact and one of the lightest ffp for its Magnificat power available on the market,...

   It's not that complicated - heavy-for-calibre ELDMs and TMKs work really well for killing stuff. HPBT match bullets are inconsistent. That's it.

   6.5 CRD liked post by Tahr On thread : 7mm08 loads and a short barrel

   If these pressure graphs and things are correct my guess is that a lot of handloads are up over the max pressure for the cartridge. It might even be the majority. Given the absence of blown primers...

   267734 GRT suggests 40gr should be your limit at 2543fps. I'd just load them to 2500fps and be happy.

    No overpressure isnt a brick wall that you run into... the other way around... its metal parts hitting your stubborn head at high velocities. And quite frankly, as long as it is only your head I...

    6.5 CRD liked post by John Duxbury On thread : 7mm08 loads and a short barrel

    Some reloaders mistakenly think that compressing powder is somehow a bad thing. I have loaded 51.5 grains with a 140 ballistic tip boat tail, and it compresses fine and stays where it should be. You...

    6.5 CRD liked post by John Duxbury On thread : loading 243 soon

    The fastest powder in a long barrel is the fastest powder in a short barrel as well. Just use 2209 for the .243.

    I'm skeptical about the claims that barrel wear isn't increased with increased pressure. Yeah some guy on YouTube said that. Evidence?

    True, if you want those numbers your barrel is going to be cooked fast no matter how you achieve it

    Not yesterday and last night but yes I am using it but it's on my Kimber 257R. I have a Sytong HT-70 (similar to the Zulus) on a Tikka 223 that I use a lot. Yesterday I used my Savage Lightweight...
