I guess that is the difference compared to the Siamese Mauser. It would be interesting to see what velocity you are getting. Regardless, it is going to be effective, there was only 100fps difference for me between 66gr and 70gr.

Yes they have been damaged, but certainly not defeated. Every day they keep poking the bear, as they know Trump has a time constraint which they don't.

Do you seriously believe he has achieved this? All he has done is confirm to the Iran regime that they must achieve nuclear capability for their security!

Hmm! In Australia we have a well publicised issue with a booming feral deer population. Sambar, Red & Fallow in particular. We also have a segment of the youth population who do not agree with the principle of farmed meat, but meat harvested from feral animals is acceptable. At the moment with...

I have been using ADI AR2206H which is sold in USA as H4895 and looking at the ADI Equivalent chart is very similar to IMR 4895. In a 22" barrel with 70gr of AR2206H behind a 350Speer Hot Core I get 2420fps. The powder charge is just to the start of the neck, so it is close to 100% density and...

Classic 333 Jeffery, non belted magnum, and cut a long throat so you can seat the 300gr projectiles right out there. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.333_Jeffery

Getting warm now, Remi treed a 5' Goanna (top left corner) last weekend. 9.3X64B was not deployed on the Goanna. If they are out then the Eastern Browns will also be around. No more hunting with our beloved until May.

Who detected the sambar first? You or your partner?

If you anneal Bertram Brass before every reload it is perfectly OK. I have also had some average Winchester & Remington brass. The base metal is no where as good as Norma, Norma is the best brass I have used.

I made up the sanding disc and jig specifically for fitting recoil pads - works well. I have also started the fine fitting of the front end.

I voted for 338WM but would prefer the classic 333 Jeffery with a tight twist for the 300gr projectiles.

Productive day, very happy with the final result. Grumpy - I did use my die grinder to speed up the finishing. I think the front sight follows the general theme of the rifle. At the end of the day I tried to repurpose the binned first attempt front sight into the barrel band sling mount...

No I don't have one, I have seen them and they do look handy. At this point it has been roughing with files and finishing with sanding strips and backing blocks.

Had time to do the final cuts to finish the machining of the front sight base. The hard part now is holding it while I do the final blending and polishing. Almost there.
