Okay . . . Read these HBN posts. Did some online reading. Ordered some BN ($22 delivered Amazon). Tumbled some 6.5mm 142grn. SMK’s in BN. (Don’t trust them – can’t see the coating.) Went to the range, shooting old moly coated 155gr.(?) & 140 gr. SMK’s (6.5x55S bench rifle). "Okay" groups for 100...

Interesting method. Clearly more steps than just add moly and tumble. Do you have concern that the moly "slurry" will enter the bullet cavity through the hollow point and settle unevenly (bullets randomly oriented when removed and dried), throwing off the center of mass of the bullets?

Two-Bedroom Home Thanks to everyone who has responded to date. I’m learning. My original goal was to, with a minimum $ investment, put together a “half decent” rifle using/based on the existing components. Still my goal here. Upon closer examination the boltface is not completely flat, but...

Not an action usually referred to on a benchrest website . . . I have the remnants of an old 1000 yard rifle that was based on a large ring Mauser 98 action and chambered in 6.5x300 Weatherby Magnum (called a 6.5x300 Weatherby Wright-Hoyer back in the late 60's). This action is now epoxy and...

Cheap Chinese Borescope Just an FYI There is a cheap but functional digital fiber optic camera available on Amazon for $17 (Prime/delivered). The camera is 5.5mm in diameter (.217"), has a light, the cable is ~10 ft., and it can be used with an Android based phone or a PC/USB. (No monitor or...

Yes, I've read those archived posts. My containers do not seem to exhibit any pressure buildup or heat. Looks like in 2002 I opened the 8# jug, put about a pound into a small 1# bottle and did not open the jug again. Neither containers show any problem. Very little exposure to the atmosphere or...

Thanks guys.

Looking through an old box containing powders, I found an 8# jug of Tubal 3000 with about 7# of powder left in it. It looks like a '97 lot (PB8097), was first opened in 2002, and likely not opened since then. I've read the posts about this stuff going bad with bulged jugs, red dust and...

Perhaps. Or perhaps not. Published BC's of .30 (BIB-112) vs. .370+ (135 SMK@2900fps). The rifle shoots 112 BIB's very well at 100 and 400 yards. (Although at present my 6BR (105gr VLD's) shoots better at 400+ yards.) And I'm working up 112 X-OUTS as well. I'd like to see if a windy day...

No Success Yet Thanks for your response. Doesn't seem like there is a lot of interest in or experimenting with these bullets in 17T 30BR rifles for distance shooting, but here's my (lack of) progress so far. The first range trip with preloaded rounds was unsuccessful. Loads started at 30.6 and...
