…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…
…five shot groups all under a half inch and velocity in the mid 4300’s… Tim plucked two chucks off the same rock with his next two shots, at 605 yards…
…I found a minty looking used McMillan from off of a Remington Custom Shop 40XB KS for a very fair price. The stock arrived with composite pillars already installed and a nice looking bedding job that had previously been done…
Anytime you are getting a barrel that has already been fit and chambered for another action, and especially when getting a barrel custom fitted to a modified action, there is absolutely no guarantee that the barrel is going to fit or headspace properly on your action. You don’t need to be a ‘smith or a machinist to safely install a barrel like this, but you do need to have a complete grasp and understanding of barrel fitting and headspace etc.
A heavy varmint taper, fluted, Hart barrel, 28” long, chambered in .20 Dasher by Greg Tannel. Even though, I need another rifle like this one about like I need another hole in my head… I woke up one morning with no thoughts of needing or even wanting another rifle like this and went to bed that same night owning the barrel and making plans to use it…
TSS stands for Tungsten Super Shot. While quality and specs may vary by individual supplier, the “good stuff”, the only TSS we are interested in, is a full 18g/cc density, comprised of very round, polished pellets of very uniform dimension…
…this is redefining what I think of as “possible” with a shotgun for coyote…
I do believe this TSS #2 load will be a reliable clean killer at 60 yards.
I did some pattern testing with my hand loaded shot shells in my 870 recently. Shot three loads, HS BB 1-1/2 oz, lead T 1-1/2 oz, and nickel plated F 1-3/4 oz, through three different chokes each, Mod, Turkey Extra Full and Dead Coyote…
