The Original Old Farts Club

[Bubba]

Yes, sometimes the gun club set one up, but long ago that I don't remember the numbers. I remember they were in the ball park.

What mostly we did was develop the optimum case/primer/powder/bullet combination for a given rifle and based our estimated velocity based on loading tables.

We would work accuracy nodes to get powder load for a particular projectile, then start with adjustment of the amount of jump to the lands of the rifling, then overall length. In .223/556, the bullet length would prevent fitting magazine, (max of 2.260") so they were for the bolt gun of course. Converted both bolt sniper rifles to single shot by installing an aluminum sled in the internal magazine.

This is where Chrono becomes invaluable.

Duh....I love hot peppers but not those. Try cracking one of them open and rubbing your eye......

Ummm, I've rubbed my balls after dealing with them before. I created a Tik Tok dance called 'Wipe the flame' (j/king). Not about my balls though. This is Hellraiser pain when it happens.

I sized my cases, uniformed the flash holes and primer pockets, trimmed the necks for thickness and the cases to length on all my rifle cartridges, and sorted by weight. Then I threw my loads short and topped them precisely using a drizzler and an electronic scale, but I loaded my pistols on a Dillon and my shotguns on a Mec progressive.

I found that with such a load, that the least accurate member of the composite shooting platform and weapon was me. I was good with a shotgun and could shoot Grand Master scores with my M1A1 Super Match sitting rapid fire at 200 yards, but was never a High Power champion because of my erratic standing offhand scores.

For the same reason, I was never all that accurate with a pistol, I just liked to shoot targets for bragging rights and bounce cans, besides being more practical to carry concealed than a long gun that I'm better with.

They say the pistol is just to fight your way to your rifle....Brass prep ..makes my fingers hurt just thinking about it. I used beam scale, Dillon.
Dies were all Redding competition micrometer bullet seater, body die, separate die for necks, also Redding. I quit weighing cases, for a while I used a setup that filled them with water to compare and group. Stopped that too. Properly done, so bullet is truly aigned to case, proper shoulder setback, identical powder loads, yeah, with trickler to top off, weighed and grouped bullets. Seemed internal volume not that big a deal if all the other stuff is good, so I deleted that. My shoot'n doesn't deserve that last level of detail! Lol.

At around 2800 ft/sec at the muzzle, and a ballistic coefficient of around 1.05, it would arrive as an attention getter from afar. The world record for 50 BMG 10 round group when I stopped shooting was 4" at 1000 yards.

The 308 220 grain Match King only has a ballistic coefficient of around .629, so the 750 grain at 1.05, carries about 67% further starting at the same velocity and bucks the wind way better.

I don't know if everybody is aware, but 750 grains sailing at 2800 fps is, well, damned awesome!

Part of the fussing is to take away all excuses..............

Capsicum is soluble in any vegetable oil, which is a good way to remove it.
