OK, let's have at it. Seems this board is run by a bunch of kids with no concept of reloading unless it comes out of the press at 300+ rnds@hr. Or they buy cheap crap by the crate.
So, lets show them how a wildcat forum would quickly out post, oh, say, the "edged tools and weapons" forum. What the hell a forum such as that has to do with guns, I'll never know. Seein' as how it only has 48 posts it should be relatively easy to out post. Then we can take it over! :twisted:
So, I'll go first. About a year ago I bought a custom gun built on a 1903 springfeild action. It's chambered in .219 Donalson Wasp. I have not spent anywhere near enough time playing with it and so far my best group has been only about 1/2". One thing I am having a problem with is case length. There is a lot of conflicting data as to the proper length and from what I understand there were many chambers cut with various neck lengths. I guess i will have to have a cast made of my chamber, unless someone knows some other trick to find what length best suits my gun. Once I get a little more familiar with this rifle, I look forward to trying some of the new powders that are available since most of the load data around is many decades old.
I hope I'm not being too technical for the "pour the ammo into the gun with a funnel" crowd! :wink:
The .219 wasp was originally a 219 zipper case necked down and shortened. Zipper brass is obsolete, so 30-30 is the prefered brass today. I have made it out of 375winchester also. Talk about a lot of brass being moved!
So, who's next? Oh, post whoring is OK also as it is in many other forums here.
