I have never tried 8208, but I do have experience with the cartridge.
With 150 cast I had best accuracy with 2400 halfway up the charge table, getting <1900fps out of a 14" bbl. I got 3-4" 5-shot...
I was cleaning out a spammer here when I realized that my shooting buddy came home with one of these a couple of months ago. I was surprised that we hit the 8" gong at 50yds no problem with it. He...
I love this! Contenders & wildcats just go together. :mrgreen:
I like the idea a lot. Sorry I haven't been able to get online for a while. Not been a good winter but things are looking more positive daily. Finally able to sit at my desk and clean out all the...
I'd like that. :mrgreen:
Whatever holidays you celebrate, my best wishes to you and yours!
Likewise. Safe travel for all on the road, too. 5*F with 25+mph winds this morning. Hard to tell how much snow we got overnight, with the wind it doesn't seem to hit the ground or stay in one place...
I had a mechanic friend many years ago I kept trying to convince to install a fancy stainless steel grease nipple in my lower spine. I figured they could use it to pump cortisone in. No one seemed to...
You know, there are times when that might be an advantage.......
Sorry I have been away for a bit, I think I might have managed at least a temporary escape from the clutches of the medical profession. :mrgreen:
Sounds great!
Ken, I'm sorry I wasn't quicker cleaning it all out. I was unable to access the net for over a week. I think I got them all, but a few spammers may have slipped through the cracks - I can only see...
I have never owned a m600, but have almost several times. I do like the cartridge though. An old friend owned a win100 chambered for it that I used to load for. He killed a lot of deer and bear with...
OK, we'll give it another try tonight when I have some helping hands.
Sounds good! Call me when you're in the neighborhood and we'll make some loud noises.
Could well be. I am sure all will be revealed in the disassembly. Any idea on an easy way to get that spring clip extractor off the bolt body so I can get at the second pin? I am thinking of making...
Didn't cure it. I am getting ready to disassemble the entire bolt this time and expecting to find either some obstruction of the firing pin or a broken part.
I was hoping to get back to this...
I hear that. I do remember using a water based lube, RCBS if I recall correctly, then tossing them in a bucket with a strong detergent and agitating it. Then I rinsed them in very hot water and...
With those little buggery bottleneck cases, no matter which brand of die you will still have to lube each and every one before sizing. Never loaded the SIG, but have loaded .30Mauser. Not fun.
Well, the bolt came out very easily. Two of us then spent the next half hour with solvent and several dozen qtips cleaning out all the guck we could reach. I can only think of one shotgun I have...
My STBSIL was handed down an old family Marlin 336 in .30-30 from his dad. Interestingly, while I have owned at least one of every bolt, lever, and single shot .30-30 I could happen on, but not, for...
Bummer. If you want, save a clean section of the stock and we'll put it on a hunting knife.
Never have a bad word to say about the .250Sav. Never had much interest in it for varmints as its necked-down .22cal bro does that for me just fine, but it is a deer killer par excellance. I load for...
Good luck! Deer season opened here yesterday.
