   AppleJack liked post by Tacitus On thread : Hornady Podcast Barrel life data

   Hornady recently did a podcast where they talked about estimated barrel life and barrel cleaning frequency for different cartridges, and I've taken the data from their spreadsheet and made my own to...

   AppleJack liked post by Growlybear On thread : A question for the doubters

   Personally, I prefer to be overgunned. We owe the animal a clean kill, and a larger caliber just gives a bit more wriggle room, for my tastes. I have shot medium pigs at short range with a .22LR, but...

   I think you miss the point. 3 or 4 hunters out of all those posting. Dont get me wrong, the 223 is a fantastic cartridge! Ive used one for most of the last 30 years. I like it. But if Im doing a...

   I did count. for a reply in another thread. What it came down too was the 223 is mostly used for shooting fallow, yearlings and hinds. There were something like 14 red stags shot and by only 3 or 4...

   AppleJack liked post by TLB On thread : A question for the doubters

   Most .223s can not run those projectiles, you have to remember that. 1:8" etc are a fairly modern thing so with that in mind take those projectiles out of the equation for most .223 users and find a...

   AppleJack liked post by TLB On thread : A question for the doubters

   I love my .223 especially with the 75gr eldms, my son shot his first deer with it. However there is very very little margin for error. Hit a small piece of anything before the animal, animal moves...

   AppleJack liked post by Bradp On thread : First Rifle Choice for the Novice Hunter. Some more Notes From an Old Fudd

   I reckon a good way to go would be to not worry about the 22 and get a 223 and use that for everything from rabbits to target practice, then goats and deer. just shoot the shit out of it. If you buy...

   AppleJack liked post by Tentman On thread : Testing a conventional approach to load development

   If you take a look at Hornardy podcast #50 ( and subsequent investigations) you'll find that seating depth has no influence on accuracy when accuracy is tested to statistically valid samples.

   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...

    AppleJack liked post by gimp On thread : 3 shot groups are useless!

    I wouldn't say useless, however I'd say quite limited in what they can tell you, in many situations. If you have a genuinely subMOA rifle and shooter system, as in, one that will put 20 or 30...
