Sorry Rog. Didn't think you posted. :-)
It's not the pace of life that concerns me, it's the sudden stop at the end!

Staggered to see people using such bulky expensive powders.
Must be made of money!
Try Vectan AS, cheap and economical.

When I'm not so distracted by the footie and get round to taking the measurements, I'll be looking for some .303s, and might try some 6.5s as well...dodgyrog wrote:Anything that turns a bob or two but prefer rifle stuff.

Re: Favourite 39Spl or 357 Mag loads
Tried the 4.1gr N320 load today in .357 cases, with Fed 100 primers, pushing a GM 158gr lead truncated cone bullet, through my 18.5" (or is it 16.5"?) microgroove Marlin.Dougan wrote: For Gallery (10 - 50m) I use a .357 case, 4.1 gn of Vhit N320*, and one of Rog's 158 gn soft alloy RNFPs...the rounds load and shoot very nicely...
One shot (low) called out during sequence, 2nd flyer might well be me too -- was in a hurry.
Ft-lbs: 304, F.P.S.: 931. An accurate load, indeed. Thank you, Dougan.
