    I think if the left and the middle are supposed to be the same loads you need to throw away whatever means you use to estimate charge weights.

    As you would know there are several versions (at least 4) of .303/.22 kicking about. The full length version was the falcon, based on the original / not improved case. The other FL version on the...

    Saw a 7mm Dakota take out a trophy Fallow once, made my ears ring, shook the closer trees, created a minor earthquake and scared the f#%k out of every game animal between Cheviot and Kaikoura. The...

    shananah liked post by zimmer On thread : Old powder wrecked reloading gear.
    My last few CAC factory loaded (for NRANZ) had turned into click bangs. Very high risk of a projectile lodging in the barrel. I bought that ammo in 1970. It was well stored in my Mum's garage (she...

    Long story short - the primary energetic ingredient of most modern propellants is Nitrocellulose (NC). All NC undergoes spontaneous and autocatalytic (self-feeding/ self- perpetuating) decomposition,...

    shananah liked post by Gamehunter On thread : Old powder wrecked reloading gear.
    About 3yrs ago I packed all my reloading stuff into a plastic bin with 6 clips that seal the lid as I was done reloading for the foreseeable future. Care was taken that everything was wrapped/packed...

    I'm still using powder from 1942, a variant of IMR4895. Smells good, looks good, works well. Nothing wrong with older powder if it has been stored well. There is no real use by date. Armies around...

    Here is a PDF of a Nobels Powder Data pamphlet I bought recently. I'd been looking for this information for years. It may help other reloaders who are still using Nobels Powders to reload metallic...

    I spend most of my time bush shooting on a weekly basis. 8x25’s are plenty for this caper, compact and not a pain in the arse to carry. 6 power are even better with a wider field of view. You only...

    I'd look for something under 8x for bush hunting. I have a pair of Kowa 6.5x32 BDIIs and they are excellent binos. Super wide FOV and 6.5x is more than enough for spotting animals even at a few...
