Casehead seperation
Re: Casehead seperation Targaflorio, Sorry I already tossed them, but to answer your question: the primers still had rounded edges but were not loose in any fashion and they did have very light ejector circles. Nothing that would have caused me concern. What got my attention first was the...- navy1942

Casehead seperation
I was doing my final work up on the ASW 338 with 300gr Lapua Scenars, using H1000 and Vhitavouri N570. The ladder test got me to 92.6 and 93 of N570 and 93 of H1000, though 93.6 of H1000 was the next best. So I loaded up 5 rounds of each for the final selections. The good news is 92.6gr of N570...- navy1942

Vertical stringing 338LM at 424 yards
Re: Vertical stringing 338LM at 424 yards Thanks guys! I was completely focused on a technical problem around the load. Since I learned the basics of marksmanship some 35 years ago I've never had a problem like this. The .22, 30-30, 30-06 and .308 rounds don't have the big push of the LM and...- navy1942

Vertical stringing 338LM at 424 yards
I have researched and concluded vertical stringing is MV related. I'm not super sniper, but I can hold my own. ASW 338 is zeroed at 300 yards. My first few days of shooting handloads 300g Lapua Scenar over 92.2g H1000 had good results. Now the results are terrible. I'm right and low because I...- navy1942

Ashbury ASW338 review
I am not a professional mall ninja or a vendor. However, I do like the fun of long range shooting, so after a year or so of reading and reading and reading I fell for the Ashbury ASW338 LM. My selected options were: Full dark earth 27" 9.4 barrel folding stock 30moa rail mono pod I dealt with...- navy1942

Gunsmithing Is there danger in a faster twist?
Re: Is there danger in a faster twist? Thank you Lou Boyd. Your explanation is very helpful. The lack of scientific exactitude makes me feel better about my questions. Now if I can just get back on track with my .416 quest, and hope someone decides to design the best .416 projectile before I...- navy1942

Gunsmithing Is there danger in a faster twist?
Re: Is there danger in a faster twist? Well that is good news... I think. At least it doesn't cause a pressure spike and go BOOM in your face. Can I assume that a solid wouldn't come apart? Spin drift is something I hadn't even considered, since I am thinking hypothetical regarding a bullet...- navy1942

Gunsmithing Is there danger in a faster twist?
I have used the hide to learn many things about rifles, projectiles, accurate and consistent reloading and especially the myriad opinions on the best ELR weapon. So, after many months of reading I am about to jump into my first custom build and it will be large bore. I've set my ambitions on the...- navy1942

Savage BA 110 owners, Give me the Real scoop!!
Re: Savage BA 110 owners, Give me the Real scoop!! By the way, this is my first post: 1.The rifle needs a going over to insure all screws and fasteners are secure prior to shooting. Yes, and they will loosen after 20 rounds, so I added a dab of loc-tite and the problem stoped. 2.A majority of...- navy1942
