Fordy, your posts aren’t the ones making my head explode, one of the down sides to mild dyslexia is I fixate on the errors as my brain tries to make sense of the sentence (y) Gumpy

Whilst I find the information interesting and the general discussion good , the lack of grammatical clarity and the appalling spelling is making it hard to understand at times. I oft times will have difficulty spelling correctly due to dyslexia and the stupid autocorrect so I will re-read what I...

Hi, I’ve been away pretending to hunt deer for a week ( armed bushwalk) don’t have a chronograph so no idea on speed but have no pressure signs, good case life etc Gumpy

You forgot to mention that he will need to get other big bore rifles to compare his current ones to and repeat the process…… Gumpy

It’s a martini cadet. I’ve taken deer goats and used it for culling long legged grasshoppers The load with noble powder is from an early 60’s manual that I confirmed with a 1980's manual Gumpy

No software, I’m an old school paper type of person in regards to powder loads. I’ll check different manuals as they have been known to vary in load data Gumpy

I bought a water/wind resistant coat from an OP shop ( local charity store) for $2 Australian, it appeared to have never been used, it’s a $350 Australian coat Gumpy

I’ve got an unopened large tin of noble no2 that is supposed to be the bees knees in my 25-35, one day I’ll try it Gumpy

Mine is a standard action, I cleaned up the front loading ramp and then removed most of the metal from the back of the mag well, shortened the bolt stop etc. I have no idea on velocity, I just pick a middle level powder load from loading manuals, then get an average and vary it looking for...

I had the same thing happen on a 308…..twice I replaced them with a set of hillver's/ Lynx rings and never had another problem I’ll use leupold QWR, but will look for something else for other rifles Gumpy

With your mag length, is 90mm the longest you can fit? I can get 92 mm easy with nosler 200g accubonds as I made the mag well 93 mm internally, though I don’t tend to load that long as I’m mostly using 196g S&B spce . The noslers are AUS$3 per projectile here so I save them for special occasions...

No fillings fell out, but I had an interesting bruise Gumpy

Having shot a 450 rigby off the bench, I personally wouldn’t recommend it unless you like pain. Mind you I was silly enough to fire a couple of shots, and then a 500J as well….. Gumpy

Nice piece of wood. Will you start telling people your name is "Bond, James Bond" and asking for martini's…… :ROFLMAO: Gumpy

I’ve got several dozen manuals, some digital, some actual books, ranging from the 1930’s to current. I will look through all the relevant ones when loading for a new cartridge, cross referencing old data and powders to new ones to see what may work with which projectile. Load data changes fairly...
