My dad did that while he was in high school and wanted to shoot during WWII, before he went into the navy in '45. Nitrocellulose film stopped being made (mostly) over 40 years ago. Not much to be found now- Low nitration too. Dad said it gunked up a rifle fast, was low performance.

After you make the bullets, you'll need some powder? And primers??? http://www.sciencemadness.org/talk/viewthread.php?tid=22649&page=2

And nobody made you wear a mask while you went hunting, plus a lot of folks had a lot of down time to hunt.

Those .22LR jacketed bullets are fine for varminting/plinking. It's where Vernon Speer started, back in the (good?) old days. Then his brother got into producng finished ammo too, started a little company called CCI? Corbin and several others are still making the presses and tooling, there is a...

Built a 300 yard private range on our business property. A chainsaw and a couple of days work will make it a 500 yard range...

Thanks! I'm willing to give up the last 100fps in return for accuracy and, hopefully, barrel life?

The .284 Winchester was designed for short actions. The 6.5 version ALSO intended for short actions kept the "Win" designation. The NORMA long action version was more suitable for what y'all are about and did better number wise. (Quote) There are several variations of the 6.5-284, but the two...

Who is running H1000 in 6.5-284 NORMA? What kind of bullets, velocities, accuracy? One of my "roundtoit" projects is trying this powder out- When I get a roundtoit, you know? But roundtoits are on backorder nationwide, unfortunately.

Same bullet mould I use for my 10.5" barrel .44 Ruger SBH is used for my .54 ML rifle. NOT "hard cast". Tough rather than hard bullet, large HP cavity. .54 sabot with a water dropped cast .44 (.434") 295gr. HP, 92% pure lead (X-ray shielding material), 8% tin (pure tin is expensive, I got lucky...

Your phone is not going to be more than "sort of, kind of" approximate as a db meter, let alone "lab quality". Not what the mics on a phone were designed for, software can't do much to compensate for an incorrectly chosen mic.

It is fairly easy to tell which posters have actually USED suppressors enough to have a valid opinion (or not).

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, here is mine. I use suppressors for supersonic rifle loads. I still need hearing protection, just not nearly as much of it. I also wear hearing protection when shooting .45acp out of a 5.5" barrel, once again, it's not "Hollywood quiet" with a suppressor...

Barnes 6.5 120gr TTSX has been very effective in all 3 cartridges I've loaded it in, it's all I've used for the last 6 years. However, you probably won't get them all the way up to the highest "book" velocities published for conventional bullets without signs of excessive pressure and finding...
