You are not doing it right the cut should go all the way down to the junction of the neck and shoulder . Otherwise you leave an edge that turns into a doughnut inside the case .
On a Weatherby case I will not comment but on a straight sided shoulder you do cut down all the way until it just touches the shoulder that way you don't leave an edge that becomes a doughnut on the inside of the case neck upon firing . A slight scrape of the shoulder junction will do no harm at...
Where I come from no one would consider using that kind of bullet on a real big wild boar on the shoulder . I have seen 308 winchester 130 grain hollow points fail to penetrate the shield properly and the pig runs off . I have skinned pigs and found old bent up 303 215 grain FMJ bullets under...
Hogdon is selling all it can get so it's here to stay but the demand might be out stripping supply . Even the Military might be soaking up some supplies as it can load 300 Winchester magnum quite well. I think ADI might be struggling to make enough powders to satisfy the Military World wide at...
Don't shoot a big boar in the shoulder shield area with that bullet it may fail to penetrate adequately due to too fast expansion . Otherwise it should work ok .
I think your reply 100% vindicates my statements . Just skimming the posts does not give you a good understanding of what is said by anyone .
You said Heaviest is " extremely accurate , lighter just " accurate " and lightest "least accurate " . You can not perceive any flex while shooting...
It a common issue that people have different requirements in stock fit and feel .
Those differences will always mean one size does not fit all . It has to feel comfortable or it's no good . I have broken my right wrist a few times and I also have difficulty gripping a normal straight grip...
Brought to you by the SAS . Well not me I was just a well trained grunt but an SAS guy showed me how to do it in Nam . I guess some are thinking , " there were no British SAS in Vietnam " . Not British SAS , Australian SAS .
One of the things you can do to minimize the risk of twisted ankles is put a horseshoe brace on each ankle. You get sum non stretch sticking plaster about 2 inches wide and lay it from the inside of your foot in line with the center of the lower leg to the outside under the sole of the foot ...
You have to hunt with ex war veterans mate they know how to fix things and give a lot medial type assistance . I have put a mates knee cap back in , put a guys shoulder back in , set a broken leg good enough to get to hospital with minimum pain after bike accident also had some pain killers in...
I agree a slightly compressed load is OK but I steer way clear of highly compressed loads . A powder load that slops around in the case will have slightly changing ignition and burn characteristics due to being forward or back or laying flat in the case . I like a powder type and load that...
It was obvious something was messed up but it was confused as to who fitted what barrel to the action ? Anyway it is good to hear it's fixed up now.
Shilen should not let work like the get out of the shop but the measure of a good business is how they fix their mistakes and this seems a good...
