ACE COMMENT RICK. It's sometimes said the inmates run the asylum!

Brian, sorry from me too for leading Rick to deviate, could'nt resist when i thoughtof "ELMER". Rick, i had a mod. 29 4" stainless in the late '60s but could only use it on government approved ranges....officially anyway. In uk now, those days are long gone. It will be a long way back...

Long memories... it was in fact a short barreled 44 magnum i remember Mr. Kieth writing about in about 1969. His was always my favorite read in our then only mag. GUNS&AMMO. Thanks Rick.KB. PS. Is his son in the firearms trade?

Hi Rick, thanks for that info. I'm learning a lot from this forum. A great deal of stuff is academic as it's not that easy to aquire things over here,but none the less, well worth knowing.

Ahab, is that two of a kind or blending?

Hi new shooter, as some of the more knowledgable members have pointed out, it's the bullet length and not the weight that usually decides wether a particular twist will stabilize the bullet. regards KB.

Friend of mine not only mixed powders but also blended them!!! It bent his yellow boy like a banana,he then tried it in his broom handled mauser.

Rustyaxecamp & Bergcrane2, my wife will tell you that nobody markets a rifle that retails for more than £100 , including 100 rounds of ammo.KB.

savage rookie, thanks for that exellent info, i will pass it on to my friend ( he's 80 and has never had a 'puter) so he can decide himself which way to go. Regards KB.
