Yes it is , but I just lost interest in 300? Maybe its the lack of interest in the AR platform ?
I have AR platform in 223 for “service rifle” type matches and a 22lr upper for steel out to 200 yards( max at my club)
3 moa is plenty when shooting at 6 moa plates, lil
These days im...
Velocity is seldom a issue for leading. Im going with pressure/heat being more of a issue against just velocity.
I think powder burn rate can play a role also. ?
Twist rate can be a issue
Bullet size is a very big contributor also.
My short stint with 300 with cast
iirc had 1/8...
I was looking here at some ammo choices. Looks like all the bullet profiles taper right to the case mouth?
Sometimes some bullet profiles just dont work well.
Looks more like the chamber/bore/lead/throat is out of round to what ever reamer/cutter he used.
Do you still get land contact?
Im a little ignorant to 458 socom
Does it even have saami specs?
Might have to just use a throat reamer ? Wont help much of the
Bore is not concentric with...
32 sw 85 gn lead bullet definitely will “bounce” off and come back at you.
Maybe not off a rotted tree but it can/will have the potential.
PPU 85gn out of my 1890s SW lemon squeezer just hit 500 ftps
Last I bought the 32sw, 32sw long was definitely cheaper than the “short”
Quick look on the webs
Seems to still be true
32 short closer to $1/rd
32 long .75/rd
JeezUs—— I consider 32 sw loading darn near free with such low powder charges and casting own bullet. .08-.10 cents for a primer...
Have not been to Al myself in many years. Used to get large orders for trap feom them
We would go up and pick up the 6 jug cases of powder , cases if wads 5000 to a case and lead shot….to put in perspective
We stopped making that trip when lead shot hit $28 a bag from him.
Been a good...
I think some will shoot 32 acp in a old 32 pistol because even 20 years ago 32 Short and 32 Long was a pita to find and not cheap.
I think I paid $32/50 back in 2004 ish.
32 sw short or long brass comes around every few years. Star Line has it in stock currently.
Im not putting...
I can just see them
OMG thats not correct blah blah blah, lol
You can go all Match Rifle with a set screw base

Did anyone at SIG see it?
My thoughts
If it ever comes loose
Decide if buying the correct taper reamer and and the effort to do the work is worth it.
If coming loose is a worry a set screw would do the trick
The Minelli stocks tend to be very nice

I have Menelli stock on one M1 and 1903a3 C stock fit was very nice.
CMP new wood stock took a good amount of fitting
32 SW brass is available,
lead bullets for 32sw are available
You can load smokeless powder to safe pressures.
You an also shoot wax bullets with just a primer for fun.
B-T is .17” -.22”
For the most part it all “loads” the same.
I dont think BBB , FF or T will feed well in the charge bar on my MEC.
The key is finding the right combo of wads to get a good crimp.
You can get the wads for steel shot …..thats usually what you find...
