I went back and took another look at this load to make sure I wasn't straying into the danger zone. I can easily get 3 more grains of powder in the case at my current OAL without any compression what so ever. Since the Speer data shows their max as a compressed powder charge, I think I am well...

You need a bigger diameter...it helps a lot when your eyes get older.

Yeah, it is all I think I'll need. I'm certainly not pushing for more velocity, but I will play around a bit with seating depth and see what happens. I am debating about scrubbing the barrel, but it really doesn't have that many rounds through it.

Thanks

Based on case volume, I should still be at least a grain below max as compared to the standard Whelen. I have ZERO pressure signs, and that is all I can go on, but I could certainly dial it back a bit if needed. I shot some of the Hornady Superformance 200 grain factory stuff, and it...

My Whelen is an Ackley version, and accuracy is good, but I still haven't shot the clover leaf that I know the gun is capable of (I occasionally get a couple shots in the same hole and then the next will be out a ways). It is built as a Featherweight M70, and I am still trying to find exactly...

Jealous!

I have ABs, but no PTs.

What a hawg!

Mine loves the 87 TNT

I'll ask.

My dad has a Roger 77 chambered in K Hornet if you are interested in something like that.

I have about 1/2 pound of H1000 that I will do for $125 :O

There is a guy on Gunbroker who had about 4000 pieces of brass left (New Winchester). He only takes Checks or MOs though. About $50 per hundred. My dad just ordered some to try out in his recently rebuilt Rook Rifle.

I have a 4.5" 5.56, and although it functions 100%, the muzzle blast is atrocious. Short and handy, and would certainly do the job. A 9mm in the same configuration would probably be just as effective at close range. The ability to place the rounds accurately is definitely increased when...

Burris is probably Chinese made these days.

Well, no joy. They have the for sale signs up and must have cleared out everything that past weekend.

When I was interviewing for an engineering job at Leupold I was told that the MK4 was the most assembly intensive scope they made (this was back in the mid 90s). I am sure that the design changed in order to reduce cost. I am sure that all those cost saving ideas have made it into all of their...

I've got a couple more grains before max with this load, so it might tighten up. The factory bedding was total garbage.

35 Whelen Ackley Improved. 250 Grain Speer and NPTs on top of CFE223. Estimated velocity in the neighborhood fo 2600fps.
