That would undoubtedly be for the Garand. The operating rod tends to bend if you use slower powders and heavier bullets. My bolt gun likes a stiff load of H4831 behind a 180 gr. SMK.

Given that the composition, diameter and coating is the same, the burn rate of each granule should also be the same and the progression of the flame through the cartridge case should also be similar. They would also seem to suggest that you can load slightly more (SC) powder into a case due to...

If you look at Hodgdon"s website, ( http://www.hodgdon.com/ ) it would appear that there is a difference between the pressure curves of H4831 and their other offerings. Their data shows a substantially lower peak pressure at similar (near max) velocities than with any of their other powders in...

Actually, it does sound very much like button rifling in that what they describe seems to be a swaging rather than a cutting process.

Nice job Vibe! I think I slept through that particular Physics class (50 years ago).

Given that you have the mass and accelleration of the projectile, the recoil should be directly related to that value (something about equal and opposite reaction???).

I would think that while 0.007" oversize is certainly excessive, neck sizing would limit the stress on the brass and would be acceptable for subsequent firings. Indexing the brass might be required to produce best accuracy. Obviously the only other solution would be to set the barrel back...

If you have to ask if it is safe to shoot, you probably should have a gunsmith look it over.

Where and when will the match be held? I am close to Dayton and would be interested in shooting in a match.

I am in no way selling the Gerstner, but I thought it would be of value to see what designs are available and at the same time see what craftsmanship is all about. (I wish I could afford one).

We need a report on how you did. The LSB's are very good rifles for their age - built between ~1968 and 1985. RFC has a very friendly forum on Mossbergs.

I don't know what your budget is, but if you are looking for a truly first class box, you might look into these people. Their toolmaker's boxes have been handed down from father to son to grandson. http://www.gerstnerusa.com/ They have a number of designs that could fit your needs.

I found someone who was remodeling their kitchen.

Good luck on finding a 146B for any kind of a price. Mossbergs have gone through the roof in the last couple of years. I bought a 146B for $130.00 about a year ago and felt lucky. Someone had gone after it in 4 places with a machete (really!!!) and the rear aperture sight was missing. If...

This is what happens when the club does not own the range. We lost our gun club when the owner of the ground we were leasing died and the membership would not pony up $250,000.00 to buy it from the estate. We had a number of "life members" who stated that they could not be expected to...

I used to shoot silhouettes with an XP-100 chambered in 7mm-08 about the best I could get was about 2400 fps with a 175 gr FMJBT.

You have to use the cross slide to pull the tool out of the cut as you disengage the feed. (Walk, snap fingers, bubble gum.............).

Being careful to square the threading tool with the axis of the thread, the compound is set at 29 degrees so that the leading edge of the tool does most of the cutting and the trailing edge makes a very light cut with each pass (in the 0.0001" range). You then feed the compound in a few...

I removed the front sight assembly and drilled the gas port out with a #21 drill being careful not to break through to the bore. IIRC, I left about 0.100" between the bottom of the drill and the bore. Then using a bottoming tap, I tapped the hole with a #10-32 tap. I installed a stainless...

My Savage Tactical with a 1:10 twist likes H4831 behind a Hornady 180 gr BTHP. <1/2 MOA. "Your results may vary". Max pressure is low even with max loads and it produces velocities as high as most other powders.
