"Wild" Wildcat, 224 Hansell - 05/03/03
Hi Ken, first off,Thank you for the excellent & outstanding (Bible) of yours, signed copy # 827, on 02/18/00, has proved a life saver several times for me.
You probably don't remember my case you helped me with.
224 Hansell L.R.V.T.(a 30/06 case with DOUBLE Necks and Shoulders, down to .224 Cal, 60.0 grs case cap, length of 2.420").
Have been shooting and building loads for it the last 2 yrs(one small carefull step at a time, working in Very uncharted waters with THIS case design,) 60 to 75 gr bullets only, want the highest BC for long range hunting and varmint thumping,along with the lowest pressure possible at the highest speed (safely) and still keep moa out to 1000 yds( if possible), so far there has not been any major problems to 500-600 yds (if I do MY part correctely, except with certain bullets).
I have finally found some Retumbo,Win WXR,MRP powders, but can't find the relative burning rates for the above listed fuels, so I can use my QL program, have any suggestions/Ideas.
Have used the following powders,4831,Win 760,N 160(have the fast lot),H100,7828,RL22(best so far). Want 90-100% case cap with the lowest pressure(50,000 psi and highest vel (average 3200-3400fps, w/75gr in 26" ss Shilen AG bbl).
I have a minor problem with this bbl, 60-75gr bullets from Hornaday/Speer/Nosler/Win shoots ok, Sierra bullets BLOW up every time,regardless the weight, same load with all the same bullet wts of 60grs, 46.0-RL 22, vel at 3200-3300fps(chrono), Any? reasons come to mind, why does this only happens to the Green ones.(need some help).
I think I am missing something with the green ones, but can't find out where?
Would greatly appreicate any or all advise or help on getting the BEST ballistics from this case design, and then the same case design will be tried using the 270WSM case with the same angles on shoulders and SAME case cap. and then the reamers will be improved with 35 degree angles, and the same info learned from original case tests will be shot thru the same bbls(rechambered to new case design).
ps, excuse the mistakes, first time doing this, getting on line, (attemping to run this &%#*^%$ machine (self teaching) with all the computer tech talk/words, had it just over a yr now, and it's still got a choke hold on me, but I am NOT giving up yet.
