Home Forums Reloading Varmint Rifles So, 3500 fps with a 53 gr V Max

Admit it. You're just an internet persona. 53 year old fat single dude, unemployed and still living in his Mom's basement with a pair of Aviators...

Was feeling kinda bad Travis, I hadn't had a good GFY in about a week or so, Thanks Main.

Even if all that were true, the coolness of the aviators would trump the other factors.

GFY.

I strive to remain turdlike your Poobahship....

so, in the spirit of the Turdlike clan, GFY!

I don�t really give a hoot what loads YOU use. I have long regarded you as one of the most unreliable sources of advice I have come across on the internet, and I wouldn�t take your advice on how to tie my boot laces let alone how to go about loading ammo. My concern is that inexperienced reloaders will take your extravagant velocity claims as being indicative of what they can expect to achieve.

Unlike you, I don�t think that I�m �judgementally gifted� at all � I�m just someone who has done a lot of reloading over the last forty five years or so, associated with a number of other very experienced reloaders, and researched the subject plenty. Over that time, I have seen and heard of more than a few reloading catastrophes. Most of them have been the result of shooters using loads with powder charges over recommended maximums, and/or loads that were producing velocities well above what any reputable loading manual showed as being reasonably achievable.

Basically, the shooters concerned were working on the much-vaunted theory that if they had shot a particular load a few times and nothing had come apart, then it was quite OK to go on using it. Problem was, they had effectively used up nearly all the safety margins included in the maximum loads listed in the manufacturers� manuals, so when some combinations of factors stacked up to cause significant pressure rises, they were in big trouble.

All my experience and observations tell me that pushing loads for every last bit of velocity means taking significant risks for very little practical benefit � and if you don�t like me saying so, HARD CHEESE!

WOW, holy sheep dip. This is gonna be funny.

Swifty

******* Gosh. You sure told me.......

******** Gosh. A ex-purt, seen it all.

HARD CHEESE....no kidding(?!). Must be New Zealand speak.

It's true you aren't judgmentally gifted. And you're a dipsh*t.

It's Monday, and GFY.


Travis

Is it true somebody doesn't know who I am?

You can all GFY.

I've been waiting for somebody to come up with the old "The measure of a man's knowledge is how many posts he has made to the Campfire." line of drivel.

Nothing else in your last three consective posts is worth a response.

case in point.... I had a member tell me one time that his grandfather had been driving in Montana for 60 plus years...
and he had honed being a BAD driver to sharp point after 60+ years....
