That is cool.

I have been a member of this forum for years and naively thought other firearms related forums would be pretty much the same, a bunch a friendly like minded people who go out of their way to help out fellow members. Boy was I wrong!!! I'm in the process of building a Savage in 6BR so I have been che...

Nope, 55 grain Bergers, the big boys.

Don't tell me that Brad!! I live in New York.

Ok. Thanks Jim.

For some reason I can't send private messages. They just sit in the out box and do not show up on the sent message list. Is there a problem with the system?

I had been using the same load of R10X in brass by Remington, Winchester and Hornady for years with never a problem. I made the mistake of trying it in Nos...

I have replaced everything possible on my beloved 700 in 204 Ruger so it's time for a new build. I putting together a 6BR Norma based on a Savage 110 WSM action and would appreciate some guidance on load development. I just ordered a McGowan stainless match barrel and should have it in a week. I'm p...

In a normal charge, the primer ignites one end of the charge and then it burns to the other end of the co...

The problem (RISK) being being that the math is linear while the pressure change may not be. Not sure if I said this very well and, certainly not encouraging anyone to play Back Yard Ballistician! That was my concern. If it's exponential instead of linear it could get nasty real quick. I've also he...
