It may be possible, but I have no idea what is the daily rate and how long they allow packages to be stored in their facilities.
I am still working on it (again, many thanks @unspellable).
Thanks Doc,
My dealer does not import guns, but I will contact French firearms importers, that is a great idea I hadn't thought about.
I doubt the embassy would be of any help on this matter, but I appreciate the link to the freight forwarders. I have a couple phone calls to make.
Thanks again.
I am a French citizen and bullseye shooter. I have been working and shooting in the US for several years and it will soon be time for me to go back home.
I would like to ship a couple handguns. I have all the legal authorizations required on the French side.
My guns have to be shipped to a...
I did just that a few weeks ago, and it turned into quite an adventure!
After running my HiTek lead bullets through the cylinder throats (see this post https://www.thehighroad.org/index.php?threads/38-spl-accuracy-load-for-a-357-magnum-colt-saa.861445/#post-11354154), I inserted one of those...
Here are my reloads, .357Magnum brass :
I'd say those are "mildly" crimped. The crimp is noticeable but does not bite the bullet.
I only loaded 20 rounds of each variant for my testing session and shot all of it. I usually measure bullet speed only with validated recipes to evaluate...
Here are the results of my testing session.
10 rounds were fired at each target from a sandbag at 25 yds. Point of aim is the is 2in diameter orange dot.
This is pretty clear: my Colt despises weakness and doesn't care for .38SPL.
If I try to feed it anything else than full power .357Magnum, it...
I don't have another .38 and I won't ask another shooter his gun to test my reloads.
Yesterday, I cleaned my revolver thoroughly, measured all throats with a vernier caliper for what it's worth, all .360".
I dropped a .358 HiTek LSWC through each throat. It stuck inside the throat, and required...
Also, I noticed an unusual amount of unburnt flakes on my mat.
I have both, and I will do just that.
I also have other powders to experiment with. I'll keep you updated with my results. I have some handloading to do now !
There's something interesting there. Among those widely spread out impacts I'm confronted with, groups of 2 or 3 were connected. That dumbfounded me until I read your answer.
I'm shooting 13 brinell HT-SWC. My charge may just be on the verge of "decent".
Thought so and I expected box of 180gr XTP to be delivered today, unfortunately those are still on the way tonight.
Interesting article Mr.Flintstone, thanks for sharing.Obviously I need to get me some 125 gr too.
Yet, bullet weight effects case volume, so also pressure development, then...
I have difficulties developing a .38 SPL accuracy load for a .357 magnum Colt SAA 7 1/2".
My ingredients are new Starline brass, CCI Small Pistol #500 primers, HP-38 and 158 gr Hi-Tek coated LSWC.
I experimented over the whole range of powder amounts from 3.1 to 3.7 grains according to Hogdon...
I would have chosen to go with 2400 if there had been a little more data on Alliant's website. I don't know where to start and stop, and where it'll get me with the bullets I chose.
So I'll buy 1lb AA#9, load in the 1200-1400fps range and see how I like it.
Thanks for your help gentlemen !
