One day I really want to shoot a muzzle loader. Hunting? Well if I ever get the chance I'll have to try.

I'm not sure I am understanding the symtoms exactly, but could there be a headspace issue here?

Looks to be grouping nicely!

What action is that built with? And is that barrel using a lock ring attatchment like on Savage rifles? I do like the way Savage attatches the barrels.

Stay safe, and prayers for those in the vacinity of those fires. I am fortunate that fires are not a problem I am aware of where I live.

It is almost always humid where I live in Arkansas. I don't usually look at the temperature on a computer and don't have any thermometers outside, but it has been hot, I assume 90 + lately. I actually am quite accustomed to the feel of being in the summer heat, dialed in my clothing decently for...

Just saw this. Prayers your friend makes a recovery.

I don't think I would be looking into either of these calibers anytime soon, but I have to say this thread has been an interesting read and makes me quite well disposed towards the 35 Whelen should I ever have reason to use something in that realm.

Sounds like a good upgrade.

Happy 4th of July! May we celebrate gladly and with sober minds.

Well, I decided to take a look at ballistic science in my Encyclopedia Britannica (yes I have a set oddly enough), and I very quickly came to the conclusion that internal ballistics are far too complicated to make nuanced assumptions about. Everything comes into play when considering recoil, not...

Very nice looking wood. I suspect it will probably shoot well. 🤞

Yes, my Dad landed a new job and I think he is quite liking it, so that is very nice.

I'm picky, but not a snob. It has to work, but it doesn't need to be anything fancy. I may upgrade and tune things for better performance over time, but I am OK with pretty standard triggers and whatnot for most pracical applications.

Hah, deffinitely some AI talk going on. It's funny the way they will link to something totally typical like housplants.

Congrats!

The locking lugs and chamber walls are doing most of the job of containing the pressure. The cartridge itself is holding pressure only in a small gap between the bolt face (more accurately the case head) and the chamber walls. This is why Sig didn't bother making a fully steel cartridge for...

Yeah, I was reading that on the articles, but I hesitate on whether it makes physical sense. With most new products with strong claims my reaction is the same; the claims could be true, but until somebody really tests it, (somebody is isn't being paid to market the product that is) then I tend...

How does it end up being less recoil? I assumed if you run 30 cal. bullet of a certain weight out of steel case and a brass case at the same velocity, they are going to be generating the same energy? In which case energy out the barrel being the same means energy into your shoulder would be the...

Still wonder about practical reloadability on steel cases. In the end I don't care much though because I actually want to avoid the extra velocity.
