Hi There,
Oh boy I am glad to know that thre belt on the .375 & .300 H&H is there because of the gently sloping shoulder and not so they headspace and extract easily in break action doubles and the single shot rifle which were popular when these cartridge were introduced
Hmm I wonder why the American manufactuers still use a belt then is it's "superfluous". And I notice that annealing is now not required to get the case to it's critical tempreture. Anealing requires the metal to get to it's critical temp otherwise it does not work
He has obviously does not think much of Lee's stuff and mentions it in passing whilst plugging others . The collect type dies work well and apart from Lee others make their own version of collet dies. I have dies by at least 4 makers and they all do the job theywere designed for. About the only real truth I found was that the bullets made today are superior to those of say 30 years ago
and I also noticed the old saw about bullets being right up to the rifling are more accurate
............................... , maybe on some rifles but not in others .................................. it's one of those things in which your particular rifle will let you know. I would suggest the writer tries shooting a swedish Mauser but using 100 Grn or 120 grn bullets and then insisit that the bullet has to virtually kiss the rifling
No mention of seasoned bores? I see a lot of half truths and hot air but no doubt they get paid for their insights
Sheesh
