NFIA, so I imagine T.O. Press and other latte sipping light footed easterners going to make hay with that tidbit.

There a re a few tricks needed to establish proper headspace, among other concerns.

If not, we can create a new folder under Gear devoted to Camo. ]]> Sun, 17 Aug 2008 21:37:26 MST havoc ~Suggestion Box http://seekersoftheredmist.com/perl-bin/re?message=5433#5433 http://seekersoftheredmist.com/perl-bin/re?message=5433#5433 Was looking for entries about camo as I recall some interesting stuff about various gear and techniques, but cannot find it quickly. Recently I've done some experimenting with what the Brits call Battle Shipping and it has worked out fairly well. Well enough for me to do it to one of my favorite Big Game rifles. Maybe some of the regulars would be interested in a camo section. ]]> Sun, 17 Aug 2008 19:19:46 MST Red Dog ~Suggestion Box http://seekersoftheredmist.com/perl-bin/re?message=5432#5432 http://seekersoftheredmist.com/perl-bin/re?message=5432#5432 Fri, 15 Aug 2008 14:44:20 MST critrgetr General Discussion http://seekersoftheredmist.com/perl-bin/re?message=5431#5431 http://seekersoftheredmist.com/perl-bin/re?message=5431#5431 Fri, 15 Aug 2008 09:35:21 MST HB General Discussion http://seekersoftheredmist.com/perl-bin/re?message=5430#5430 http://seekersoftheredmist.com/perl-bin/re?message=5430#5430 Thu, 14 Aug 2008 12:16:16 MST critrgetr General Discussion http://seekersoftheredmist.com/perl-bin/re?message=5429#5429 http://seekersoftheredmist.com/perl-bin/re?message=5429#5429 Thu, 14 Aug 2008 00:35:48 MST Red Dog General Discussion http://seekersoftheredmist.com/perl-bin/re?message=5428#5428 http://seekersoftheredmist.com/perl-bin/re?message=5428#5428 Wed, 13 Aug 2008 22:41:38 MST woodsman General Discussion http://seekersoftheredmist.com/perl-bin/re?message=5427#5427 http://seekersoftheredmist.com/perl-bin/re?message=5427#5427 35-300 yds the bullet performance was POOR on ground squirrels. Most bullets were pass throughs. I get much more explosive performance from hornady 32g. loaded in similar velosities.

I'd also try different powders. My preference is to use a ball powder because they meter so well out of a powder throw. I'm assuming that you are already working up the loads to see what powder weights give the best groups. Groups will shrink and expand as you work up the powder charge.

The 223 WSSM has a whole lot of case capacity for a 22 caliber bullet, and you may see better results with heavier bullets and/or slower powders (4831 is right in the range I'd be using, or I might try one a tad slower). If you are using the rifle for varmints, 55 grains is close to the heaviest varmint bullet made. Heavier bullets are typically match bullets and not the best choice for varmints.

Trigger time is also very important to getting good groups. Right now I'm very rusty as far as rifle shooting goes. There have been times when a one inch group would be disappointing, though right now I need more trigger time to shoot those with any consistency. ]]> Mon, 04 Aug 2008 11:09:12 MST HB Handloading
