Mouse fart loads for .223 ?

[danmat]

You need to pick up one of Lymans cast boolit handbooks, for the first one i suggest the 1973 edition.
Lots of loads with the old standards, dot powders and unique.

I click on them and they come up just fine, not sure why they are not coming up for you guys.

Anybody else see them?

[Outer Rondacker]

They come up but are blank.

Do you have to register on the website maybe?

[oldblinddog]

All there for me.

I've never had to register.

Must be a configuration issue.

Or the phase of the moon. With computers, who knows?

"I would do a split and lay the gun on my right thigh and put my left hand over the rear of the gun and my fingers under the heel while my right hand was on the grip and trigger. I had my trigger down around 4 oz. and a 24 power scope on the top and I looked through the scope upside down."

I've read this about 43 times and still can't understand what it means....

No luck HERE with the Castpics.net links.

Check your browser security settings. The links brought the page up, but no article.

Then I turned off the Firefox security settings for that page, and the articles popped right up.

Same here... He lost me at 'do a split'.

Anything requiring me to do a split will also require a trip to the hospital....

Here something I played around with a loooong time ago.

I shot .22 cal pellets out of my .22.250. I was using Benjamin pellets that mic'd .222 dia. They worked okay. But eventually I made a little hand die to bump them up fatter & .002 larger dia. Used a primer alone for a "standard" loading. As I got more zealous, I took a fired primer & attached a wire handle to it to make a powder scoop. I loaded a "magnum" version by adding a scoop of Bulleye. For the "blow-your-doors-off-ultra-mag-load" I'd use 2 scoops & a magnum primer. At that point the actual firing was getting pretty loud so I backed down.

The fun part was sizing the brass so I could hand seat a pellet tightly in place. The case also needs to be sized tight enough to keep the chamber & brass from getting too dirty since the round obviously doesn't have enough pressure to obturate. A lot of black soot if everything is not tight. Back when I was doing this there were no neck-bushings dies to fool with. I looked around my shop but couldn't find my old aluminum pellet sizer die.

Remember, it's all fun. Shooting is shooting & reloading is the icing on the cake! Good luck on your mouse fart project!
