    The argument is probably moot in this instance as an 8mm Muaser is significantly shorter than an '06 with a shoulder that starts 0.129" shorter. I think you would have trouble finding an 8X57 that...

    You've hit on what I was thinking; depending on whose burn rate chart you look at, S1000 is either one or two steps slower than B-eye. Alliant's site lists 4.9 as a max load with a 125 gr...

    Some time ago I came across a good deal on some Solo 1000 powder; it was older (labeled as Scot Powder Company), but the price was right so I bought all of it, 6lbs. I know that the newer...

    I'm starting this because I know that somebody out there has to have a formula or rule of thumb to figure out what twist rate is needed to stabilize what bullet. This started because I...
