…being an avid predator hunter, I’ve gravitated toward ‘hotrod’ type cartridges… Maximum point blank range and terminal performance on critters are key elements for a ‘hotrod’ to improve upon, over factory available cartridges. Ideally, the performance gains should justify the extra time, effort & expense of wildcatting… What if I necked a SAUM case down to .224…
…We typically refer to bullet imbalance in terms of CG offset. CG (center of gravity) offset is where the center of gravity of the bullet is offset from the geometric axis or center line of the bullet. With CG offset, we have an unnatural condition where the bullet is forced to rotate about the geometric axis or center of form while inside the barrel. But a spinning projectile always wants to spin on its principal axis (center of gravity) when free to do so…
…stress free bedding is what we want. We want the receiver to maintain its stress free, relaxed state without any deflection when the action screws are tightened. I’m going to show you a super easy way to check the bedding for stress…
