We are going to do pics in good weather this summer. Finally got someone with videocam, a good web hookup to post it. Our lines here are dialup, running through barb wire it seems like. I do a little testing between storms now. I do post plenty of pics of the bullets, the guns, the equipment. using our little regular cam.
Tested the 415 gr hollowbase slugs in 28GA FH long brass case. These are ones that Dixie Gunworks sell that they call their Sharps .548" slug. They all run about .008 bigger than that so they make perfect tight fit for .550" barrel, and I used a good lube on them in the grooves. Same speeds as above for GPs. They are a little harder alloy slug than the Powerbelts or Great Plains The 28ga shellholder for our Lee, Lyman, Rcbs presses , we use, is from RCBS for regular metallic press rams. For 28ga dies Hollywood made some for metallic presses.Also for sizing for bottom 2/3 of the brass case you can cut top off of the 500J die.The slower powder loads don't even have to have the bottom half sized, which is great for a turned case. If we had drawn brass cases we could get 11,000 ft lbs, in the Enfield, which we don't really need for deer. 4-6000 ft lbs ok/deer ..Ed __________________
