If you dont overdo the pressure the Lee Collet Crimping Die helps with better grip and reduces ES. You don't need a cannelure.With the difference...
Basically the need for duplex loads have been removed due to better powder.In SA, the advent of S355 removed any need for duplex loads.
When using iffy quality brass, a crimp actually improves dispersion.That only works if the bullets in question have a cannelure. Also, you are then li...
I once tried 41gr S335.Witnesses said I leopard-crawled back to shooting position after each shot. That hard brass buttpad is not for sissies...
2339 is very slow for 174gr bullets.Best accuracy is normally around 2450. No idea what the OBT for that is, but worked on 90% of the 303 rifles in th...
I did once try S365 in my .303. With the wind from the front, having partial burnt and unburnt powder blow into your face is not a pleasant experience...
Do the flyers go sideways through the target at 100m?
Does the general mantra then hold true in your opinion, use the heaviest bullet for subsonic loads. I have found this to be untrue unless the barrel i...
First, put away the S365.Driepoot will be along soon to give you the rest.
Bear with me.On a long bullet the centre of gravity is behind the centre of pressure. The air pushes back from the front through the centre of pressur...
Twist rate does not work the same for subsonic bullets. The aerodynamic force is less than a quarter compared to supersonic flight. This reduces the o...
The idea was to make a military cartridge that is effective as a pistol and rifle round. As we all know, they don't reload used brass.As for the ...
I do not have experience with the round, but I was also looking at getting one a few years ago. I realised quickly the ammunition was going to be a ma...
First you need the time of flight for your interested velocities at a specific distance. This is the difficult part. BC of bullet makes a difference.C...
Above would be true in a vacuum. When air resistance is included, all kinds of complications appear.Bullet shape and weight distribution changes the g...
