    Powder for Longer or Shorter Barrels.

    Because it is nonproductive, negative and contributes nothing to this thread except to show that you are a jerk. Think what you want, but saying what ever comes into you mind is a different matter. Again go find a thread where you can make a positive contribution.

    What if question

    An excellent point. Just because you can, doesn't necessarily mean you should.

    Powder for Longer or Shorter Barrels.

    I am sure there are plenty of threads you could go look at and comment on without having to throw a wet blanket on the conversation. I urge you to go populate those with your wisdom.

    Powder for Longer or Shorter Barrels.

    Everybody finds fun in doing different things. What takes the fun out of things is people trying to tell you not to do the things that make it fun for you. Think about that a bit.

    Powder for Longer or Shorter Barrels.

    Really need to thank @Dale Lilly . Early in my Thumper development he provided me with that calculator. It is a by volume measurement. I would suspect the tighter a patch on a RB the higher velocity you will achieve as your load will generate more pressure because of resistance. In short, if...

    @Relic shooter That is a wonderful rifle and an elk killer for sure. They knew exactly what they were doing and what they were doing it for when they made those guns.

    Thanks USPS

    I will post this for everyone review. what everyone claims to be heavy loads doesn't seemed to have bothered the generation that used the guns for a living. From Ned Roberts' book, pg 313

    Thanks USPS

    In somebody's "GOBI" (General Officer's Bright Idea for those non military types) the USPS decided to take on Amazon's "last mile" deliveries. That has absolutely overwhelmed their ability to do their job. Their hiring practices do not emphasize competence, rather a check in the box for...

    Powder for Longer or Shorter Barrels.
