    Greetings, I really fail to understand why anybody is still working in the obsolete units almost 50 years after NZ changed to metric. Milliradians are not a metric unit exclusively but work better...

    Greetings again, The US was introduced to the mil for artillery in WW1. They had turned up late and without much kit so they had to use mainly French guns. These were in a number of units including...

    Greetings, So to summarise the rifle shoots quite well in 10 shot groups which are always larger than 3 or 5 shot groups. Velocity indicates book max pressures once barrel length is allowed for and...

    Greetings, Expanding the case necks with a mandrel or even the standard expander button is a trick used quite often. The advantage is that the base of the case is held square with full support from...

    Greetings All, We are now fast approaching 40 posts and not one shred of evidence has appeared to support the OP. It seems to me that there is none and the classification of BS is appropriate. GPM.
