   Eastern Wander liked post by grandpamac On thread : 7mm08 loads and a short barrel

   Greetings, Early on a lot of people went to AR2208 and IMR4064 in the 7mm-08 due to the difficulty of getting top loads of 48 to 50 grains of AR2209 in the case. The Hodgdon data for the 139 grain...

   Greetings all, There has been a lot of blather about artificial intelligence of late. In my early teens I developed an interest in science fiction and got all manner of books out of the Napier...

   Greetings, Generally the faster a projectile is travelling the quicker it expands and the less it penetrates. More velocity does not always result in faster kills as you have discovered and it looks...

   Greetings, More data will help. 2,850 fps is too hot for any projectile over 120 grain and plenty hot for those in a 16 inch barrel. Expect a velocity loss of around 150 fps for your barrel. 2,550...

   An interesting and informative review. The possible problems with handloading will be a turn off for some and the primary extraction problems may need some tinkering with the rifles to solve. Still...

   6mm08 liked post by grandpamac On thread : The new cartridge that makes the most sense to me.

   Greetings all, We are a bit late to the party on introducing a 6.35mm Creedmoor. It would be very close to the .250 Savage Improved 30 degree. This was a wildcat from some years back and perhaps an...

   Nice try Micky, You have more or less reinvented the .270 Titus Savage or more closely the .270 Creedmoor. Developed to allow a .270 cartridge that could be used in a Savage 99 rifle. GPM.

    Greetings, At the time the .280 left the 7x57 for dead in terms of range, with a blunt 173 grain projectile at about 2,200 fps v a 160 grain at 2,600 for the Ross. The high velocity 7x57 rounds...

    Greetings, We had a very dry Spring in HB, barely 50mm total on our place. We have had over 70mm since Christmas day. I jokingly suggested lighting the fire earlier. Doesn't seem that funny now....

    It was quite popular as a hunting cartridge and very popular as a long range target cartridge even in the Ross rifles. Being a good Army rifle is a different thing altogether, especially in the mud...
