Re: questions about webley screw-grip action

Are there photos attached somewhere that I'm missing? There are British steel loads which are specifically made for guns that have not passed steel shot reproof. However those shells have very different ballistics (lower velocity, lower pressure, smaller shot sizes) than those approved for guns that have passed steel shot proof.

Ted, I'm sure he was somehow with you during your hunt. I know that my old hunting partners are with me when I hunt those "familiar hunting spots". Karl

Re: George T. Abbey Rising Bite patent?

They were all mature birds. Lots of grain fields around so they had plenty to eat and they grew into big roosters. They would then hide in thick cattails to evade predators. The tail feathers were long but not as long as you would think. I think the longest measured 27 inches.

Re: .410 Kriegoff testing 16g 4’s

Si senor. I agree, American 6s would have been a help I think. Pattern density would be increased significantly with sufficient energy at 60 yards to kill. 4s work great on crows with a 12 and 1 1/8 oz. but a 16gram pattern of 4s at 60 yds. would be pretty sparse out of 1/2 choke, I would expect. That's not but about 70 pellets. Fun video. Thanks.

Re: Surprising vitality of ancient ammunition

In the 1990's a friend of mine bought an Austro-Hungarian Mauser in 8X54? if I recall. Whatever, it was an obsolete cartridge so he could buy it without an FFL. He also bought some ammo that was headstamped 1905 and it performed perfectly.
Also in the 90's I bought a Holland and Holland double rifle in the .303 Mk VII caliber. The rifle was regulated with the 220 gr. bullet and the only ammo I could find was from Don Shrum. As I recall it was certainly pre WWII, cordite, and corrosive primed. It fired more like a percussion muzzleloader with a "clap-boom" report. However, it reliably fired and was quite accurate.
I had always heard the Hercules Unique powder was incredibly long lived. At the NRA show in New Orleans I believe in the 80's I asked the Hercules people about that. They said it was true. They had a powder from the first batch they made and would periodically test it and it performed perfectly.
Smokeless powder is a chemical compound while black is a physical compound. Chemical compounds can degrade yet ammo and powder carefully stored can easily last a century or more. Black will last forever so long as it's kept cool and mainly dry.

Re: Fiber Wad vs Conventional

1 oz and 1250. The other shooters said the same thing plus one had an ISIS unit and shoots release so he is pretty sensitive to recoil
My 1290s are 1 oz Gamebores or Bornaghis and have way less punch.
The plastic "piston" wads were an advancement over fiber.
I always read about it but this was the first time experiencing it.
BTW, some of the breaks were incredible. Puff Balls. Imagine the shot was top tier and hard.
I was shooting the Parcours, fixed im/m .733
