All the powder that is going to burn does so generally in the 1st couple of inches, once pressure drops from the bullets progress increasing chamber volume the expanding hot gases do the rest. The powder that produces the best velocities in your manual will do so in any normal barrel length when com...

http://www.quick-measure.com/index.htm These are great for the guy that uses extruded powders. I have found mine to toss extreemly consistant charges of powders like R22, H4831, imr4350 etc. Ball powder are spot on for all practical purposes. The only measure I am aware of that "may" do be...

Do NOT use Rem 6.5 primers in high pressure rounds (17 Rem and above). These are manufactured for low pressure rounds like 22 Hornet, etc. You WILL experience a blown primer. You WILL have metal particles exiting the vent in the side of your action. Your firing pin and bolt face will be torched by ...

Put a down payment on it this the morning. The finance chief was a bit toughter then usual this time but I still have all the skin on my knees

Thamks, that is pretty much how was feeling when I 1st saw it.
I`m going back to take a better look at it this afternoon. I need another rifle like a hole in the head according to the home finance officer but...
I`ll post back if I decide to buy.

I found a used used Cooper this weekend, I`m not sure of the model # but it has the synthetic Phoenix stock and I believe its a M22. Chambering is 6x45 (6/223). Redding dies are in the deal for ~$900. no rings or bases. I didn`t have time to look it over much but it appeared to be in nice shape. Is ...

I havn`t tried the newer "lead out" formula but if it works 1/2 as well as the copper remover you`ll be more then pleased.

Forster is my prefered bottle neck die maker
