  1. Handloading Procedures & Practices
    Hi All. I've been loading for about a year now and offer my thanks and respect to all that contribute. My latest question that has been bangin around in my head is I see load data containing powder Load, Trim, OAL, etc. OAL would depend on the style and length of a bullet which, of course...

    I just recently purchased a Browning X Bolt Varmint 223. IT has a 1-12 twist barrel. I was wanting to know if anyone could give me an advice or insight on best bullet for accuracy? I recently had decent luck with the Winchester balistic silvertip 55 grain but was wondering if I could get even...

  9. Ballistics - Internal and External
    I am looking for drawings, photos, sketches of the actual bullets used in the Krupp firings, the Gavre firings and the BRL firings. I would greatly appreciate any help. I do not have access to the publications of McCoy and Lowry so that's one place I haven't looked.
  10. Bullet Casting
    I've never done any reloading so I apologize if this is a stupid question but I recently read about a guy that melted the lead out of a fmj and filled the copper jacket with epoxy. He claimed that an epoxy 45acp left the muzzle at 2200fps. Iam curious if any reloaders here have ever tried such a...
