Wrangler John,

GREAT photos! And intel as well.

+ 1 on not really knowing what your pressures are until it os too late trying to use old guidlines. I used the slowest burning powder listed in the PO Ackley book and quit when I hit my goal of 2500fps. Enough, by any standard, for what might need to be done with such a rifle. If I need more I have a 416 Rigby.

Bull Shooter - good catch there. Still a good writer and handloader with useable data if one is conservative in use. I used the stuff only as a guidline to get me close.

Blowtorch, PM sent!


LOVE God, LOVE your family, LOVE your country, LIKE guns and sports.
