8x57js

[trigger45]

finally got to shoot my reloads in my 24/47.
47 gr. of h4895 with pulled bullets to fire form brass.
all brass is cut down .30-06. bullets are the silver miltary corosive rounds.

46 gr. of h4895 and the 185 gr. rem corlok. 2in. groups
just need to move the sights.

would use this load this fall but need to shoot it more. nice clean bore even after 10 shots. I am going to buy a friends m48 just to have another.

I have used 30-06 brass in a 270
I have used 8x57mm brass in a 257 Roberts Ackley Improved
I have used 308 brass in a 243
I have used 30-30 brass in a 303 Savage
I have used 45 Colt brass in a .410
I have used 40 S&W brass in a 357 Sig


I have failed in trying to neck 7.62x39mm down to 6mmPPC


I have cut down 32 S&W Long brass for 32 S&W
I have cut down 30-30 brass for 10mm
I have cut down 7.62x54R brass for .410
I have cut down 357 mag brass for 38 Special
I have cut down 44 mag brass for 10.4mm
I have cut down 28ga wads for 45/70


What does it all mean?
I use 8mm Remington brass sometimes, becuase 8mm Win brass is not available year round.
