    22 LR conversion

    Sorry I did not see your post before. I have a Kimber conversion that I'm happy with. Its less than a year old. The instruction book that came with it does say to use copper plated/washed premium ammo. I've tried the cheaper bulk stuff both plated and non-plated without good results. CCI...

    velocity loss

    BAR's have a reputation of being 75-150 fps slower than their bolt counterparts with like length barrels with similar loads. Browning will acknowledge it. Whether its the semi-auto action or the barrel, who knows.

    Need 7mm Dakota load with 175 SGK

    "Not really see below. I was being conservative. Quickload lists a max of around 60K." Therefore, you suggested a load starting ~35K psi, ~76.5% fill and speed ~2520 fps? I agree that's conservative, way conservative. Some might even think explosive with slow powders since it is ~16% grains...

    What are the primary factors for short barrel life?

    Dr. Howell has commented on Boots before: "We conjecture about a lot of factors that we know-of or suspect, and often ascribe more weight to 'em than they prove to deserve. "How much" is often of a lot more practical importance than "what" or "whether." I suspect that we're looking at the same...

    What are the primary factors for short barrel life?

    Higher pressures thus higher temps will stress barrel metal more than lower pressures and temps no matter which era the barrel is made. Just a matter of degree (pun intended) with better metallurgy. Are there any calibrated/scientific data points comparing the newer barrels to older ones. Or...

    H-4831sc, The Zero Use Powder

    Long, long time ago in a land far, far away, there was only H4831 and H870. Those were the choices for slow rifle powders. Since the advent of RL-22 and follow-ons during the last 30 years, there is now a plethora of choices that fill the gap. Many newer powders work better than H4831 in a...

    no.1 conversion ?

    Its an easy conversion. Once you get the chamber carved out, you might only need a new extractor/ejector. A thicker recoil pad is optional. :o
