Hi,
Just went back from the range, the results are noticeably better than expected...
A good picture is better than a long speech, so what do you deduct please?
BTW, I have not found residues in the bore, in contrary of using the same powder in my Swedish Mauser.

Hi, Tomorrow is an other range day, so I hope having better results! For the moment I only vary one element, namely I slightly increase my load to see. I have taken your advice into account, but after analysis I think that I have an aiming problem associated with too low loads, and certainly I've no...

I admit that I have never had good results with this N160 powder, which I also tested in my SM 6.5 X55...

The target was at a distance of 100 meters, the weather was good without wind. As recommended, I adjusted the leaf side at 100 yards, and fired five reloaded cartridges...

Best regards

Hi;
due to a shortage of 30-40 brass, is it technically possible to reform a functional 30-40 case from 7X57R brass?
I know, It would be better with 303 but a friend gave me a big package of 7X57R.
