    9mm, RMR 124gr truncated-cone MatchWinners, 1.10" OAL . . . and Accurate #7

    Fairly specific, since online (and even paper manual) data is all over the place. `Chose the 124 RMR-Matchwinners due to reputation (so far proven out) `Chose relatively slow Acc#7 on multiple recommendations `Shooting out of both Walther 99-AS (4") and Full Size S&W M&P 2.0 (4.75") @ 1.10" OAL...

    350 Legend Subsonic (again)

    In discussion w/ another member off-line, played around with a slightly lighter Accurate 35-210B (since it was ballpark and I had one) Pretty much limited to bolt gun and single-shot ARs since there isn't really enough gas/pressure to keep lighter bullet below 1,100 fps Gotta stay w/fast powders...

    Cutting Automatic Pistol Recoil Springs (or Not)

    Dumb question du jour . . . . 1. EVERYbody says "don't do it... Get the right weight spring." 2. My understanding is the term "10-lb spring" is not a spring rate label, but that of force at full compression. 3. Whatever the spring rate is ...(lbs/in compression) that rate is a constant. 4...

    QUICKLOAD anomaly (Question Mark)

    One of the great values of QL is finding candidate load combinations that fit parameters you specify: pressure, speed, fill-ratio, total burn % (etc). From there you pick options to try as "probable" best. Ran into an issue yesterday where I wanted a 1,100 fps/light-recoil LEGEND and so set...

    Miroku 700BC - from mid 1960s: Choke Identification

    Troops, My fathers' mid 60s Charles Daly import of the Miroku O/U (SN 203,xxx) has a bit of a mystery. First: It has no Charles Daly markings -- only Miroku/Kochi Second: All Google Guidance to the contrary, it has no Choke markings on either side of breech end of the barrel (See Pic-1)...

    1/2-oz 12 Gauge (for the Search engines)

    Just playing on the skeet range for the last 9 months -- decide to take the shot weights down. Hodgdon & Lyman have good Load references, so I walked it down: 1⅛, 1.0, 7/8, 3/4, ... things shot so well-balanced with the 12ga Beretta O/U that I thought I'd take it down to duplicate where my...

    Motor Mica and Shotshell . . .

    Ran into a problem starting about 10 days ago reloading 410 (2¾"/AA-HS/WAA-41/#9). The MEC600 suddenly started sucking the shot-filled shot cup up & out when I withdrew the fill-tube, and/or failed to drop the shot (bridging in the drop tube) and/or spilling all over when it did finally drop...

    Has anyone got access to real BP pressure data ?

    There's an awful lot of "as reported on the internet" and hand-drawn pictures out there. And an absolutely incredible amount of "...it's well-known..." knowledge. But does anyone have real data comparing BP v Smokeless pressure curves in BPCR cartridges? Driftwood Johnson's Post in three years...

    45-120 Case Cracks/Separation

    I've had a (Farmingdale) Shiloh Sharps 45-3¼ since `81; and over years of sporadic shooting have experienced several unexpected case separations about an inch above the head. All of these loads are Black Powder (GoEx 1Fg and/or Swiss 1½), and with both RCBS and HDS (Huntingdon) cases. Today...
