Re: What's going on with this brass?

Yep, that's them.<br /><br />I'll play with them a bit but I won't be looking for more anytime soon!<br /><br />I'm going to start casting and Hi-Tek coating 55gn .22 pills for .223 soon. Maybe I'll pick up a spitzer mold in .309 as well. I had a .311 round nose mold for .303 brit but I sold it with...

Re: H335 and the 30-40 Krag: GTG?
Jut in case anybody cares:<br /><br />I hit the range with the test loads yesterday. They functioned fine, even felt a little underpowered. The accuracy was less than stellar. At 100 yards, I got no discernible group with them. I fired 10 rounds of Core-Lokt factory ammo and got a nice group so ther...

H335 and the 30-40 Krag: GTG?
Has anyone used H335 for their Krag?<br /><br />I found several online data sheets for the 30-40 that listed H335 loads. None of my hard copy manuals list it as a viable option. <br /><br />Most of the data I found start at 30-33 gn for the 180-200 gn spitzer jacketed bullets.<br /><br />I loaded 10...

The blade it's self measures .383" but from the bottom of the "channel" to the top of the blade is .409".

Re: 1901(I think) Springer Model 1895, sporterized.
