Good deal!
You'll be happy to know that the Hornady manual also has data for the 375 HH 220-225 gr. bullets!.... as do the current Lee manual and for the 235 gr in the older Lyman manuals.
Here's the 458 Win Mag 350 gr data pic
Well,
I'm not worried about copyright.... more like liability of second hand data!
I checked Hodgdon online and they don't list data for the Lott.
Here's a pic of the Lott 350 gr. data from...
The only published data source I have for the Lott is the Hornady 7th edition. It lists a 350 gr bullet load for both. While the data overlaps some between the Win Mag and the Lott the different case...
I hear ya, that makes sense!
I think reliability of the ammo in those type hunts would be at a premium. Not only for safety but for follow up shots.... so no crippling loss or the PHs having to...
Short of shooting thru elephants, any reason for a 350 gr FMJ? :confused:
Might check seating depth of bullet versus chamber throat length versus OAL versus magazine length.
Accurate Arms...
....for all reloading. Especially critical for auto load handgun where minute details can become big problems. One thing I do when working up loads is use at least three pressure tested data recipes...
There's probably no one topic discussed more around the campfire than- Whats the best deer cartridge/bullet/gun?
I guess anything that will cleanly kill a deer, at the range it is shot. Bullet...
Well, I once shot a high BC bullet out of an 8mm Rem Mag at about a 33 degree angle above horizon and it hit something a few miles downrange.
Seriously, anyone can say anything about such feats. I...
At high impact velocities into tough tissue or bone the BTs tend to blow into long shards. Those shards can radiate from zone of maximum dynamic pressure within wound channel at near 90' angles. That...
duncan,
Please do! Either success or more problems.
In your second photo it shows two measurements that could be added to get the one I was talking about. I don't know your units but assume metric....
duncan,
kg42 has provided some excellent drawings for the cartridge. First, if you increase the pressure to get rid of the backed-out primers all you are doing is hiding a symptom of a problem. It...
duncan,
Short answer No, or very, very difficult to measure precisely. The only way to do that comparison is to know the location and angle of the datum ring on the RWS case shoulder that gives the...
duncan,
I can only guess... but the one on the left looks like the Whelen??
Looking at the popped out primers on first post, it seems like somewhere between the new 35 Whelen brass and the finished...
duncan,
Fireforming 35 Whelen brass to 8X60s???? hmmmm????
Seems like there would need to be an in-between sizing step somewhere.
That may exaggerate the headspace control problem if the...
Sure fire pretty much depends on gun, shooter and ammo :!:
My favorite loads for the 45 ACP are limited to my only 45 ACP- a Colt Double Eagle.... the forgotten one that nobody liked so Colt...
Going through all the posts in this thread in chronological order and having read the above post it would seem that you did shoot the "hot" loads and had gotten some serious recoil. If that is not...
I was thinking the Buff Bore load was a little warm judging by the quoted specs for the ammo!
I recall mentioning something like...... go .1 gr above original load and shoot a few. Then add .1 gr...
A chamber casting is a good idea if you can get the precision required to make a judgement. As far as the Marlin having a stronger action and the heavier loads blowing the bolt out of the...
Well, it's a pretty common thing with cast, low pressure loads. I get the smoke on about half the low pressure cast stuff I load for the old Winchesters and Colts ..... trying to keep the pressure...
Well, at outa the box .07 at 100... you got yurseff a shooter for certain!
Yes,
The Lyman Reloading Handbook 48th Edition lists quite a few loads with pressures in the Trapdoor and Ruger #1,3 Sections. Various cast bullet weights listed run from 292 gr to 535 gr. While...
No problem,
I think BS Jr. was talking in generic terms as in handgun.
Jr., that's as bad as favorite rifle!!!
I guess just for fun shooting, a revolver, either a S&W 15 4" or S&W 67 4". Easy to shoot using cast SWCs and light target load.
For having to pull out...
