Famous testimony. Didn't know it was captured on video. Eloquent.

The Ishy is designed and proofed for 7.62 NATO, right?

Dunno. There is a spectrum of cartridges from .17 to .50 (yeah, and a few beyond those.) For some reason there are clump sat .22, .30, and maybe .45. Who knows why the clumps are there?

I've shot quite a bit of Wolf .308 through my Ishy with no problems. What would cause the problem? Ishys are rated for 7.62 NATO. Would the steel case cause a problem?

That's it. There are lots of people shooting lots of suplus ammo that is decades old. Including me :D

Has anyone said H335 yet? That's what I use. Cheap, and accurate. I tried it head-to-head with Varget, and my H335 loads came out 'slightly' more accurate.

What problems were you having with Unique? That's what I use. 4 grains under a 95gr bullet, if my rusty memory serves. Am I missing something important?

I agree. :D

The K-31 is among the best reasons to take up reloading. It uses standard .308 bullets (not cartridges) and you can reload it for the same price as reloading .308. It is indeed a wonderful rifle. I took my first hog with mine.

I have a custom .17/.357mag built on a Martini Cadet, and it is indeed a match made in heaven. The rifle is the size and weight of a Red Ryder BB gun (which is to say, you could carry it all day and it would not get heavy) and shoots sub-MOA. Mine has dis-assembled many a varmit.

Always. Electronic. Unless I forget to bring em. In which case, I can assure you that 9mm brass stuck hard in your ear canals does, indeed, deaden most of the sound.

Weirdest I have shot is one that I own. Its a custom rifle, built on a 1935-ish Martini Cadet receiver. Looks like a mini version of the Martini-Henry rifle. Because that's what it is. It shoots a wildcat cartridge--.357mag pistol brass necked down to .17. Its a purpose-built...

I predict that we will not hear from someone who owns a Henry, and doesn't like it. We will hear bad remarks about Henry from people who don't own a Henry.

Me, too. Mine zeroed just fine, and keeps its zero pretty well when removed and replaced. You do have to adjust the side lever keep the appropriate tension. Directions that come with the scope are adequate.

Based on my experience, 'cross dominance' is pretty common. Like 20% of people. My daughter is cross dominant. I read here on THR that the best cure is to learn to shoot with the same hand as the dominant eye. Not the other way around. So far, it has worked fine for her. She's a...
