Attached please find (shortly) a transcription of the handwritten notes on the plates appended to the above. I was getting a headache trying to read them, so I figured I'd just get one big one and...

Does anybody have the dimensions (diameter and length) of the original 200- and 250-grain factory bullets for this round? I'm trying to find out what weight bullets the French used in their M1910's...

Butch's Bore Shine: there's water in the mix for the corrosive priming and it does a great job of removing jacket fouling. Bores cleaned previously with Ed's Red still show a bunch of crud on patches...

Great. Toonces the COIN cat.....

Re: The last man killed in WWI; the Brits says it was one of theirs. My grandfather wrote in his diary that the Germans "put one over and it was a stiff one, too. HE and gas. Got a lot of our boys at...

Love the stuff, gonna buy more when I run out. I've used it for about 8 years and never had any of the trouble mentioned by the gentleman above. It does work on jacket fouling (verrrrry slowly) when...

I dug out my notes (which I should have done initially) and found that the most powder I got into a Remington case was 40.0 grs. mass / 4.0 cc Lee dipper of Pyrodex CTG (Fg equiv.). COL was 2.985"...

There was no need for a lube wad or grease cookie in the .303 since it used a jacketed bullet in all Marks (except for some of the short range practice loads that used 90 -120 gr. lead bullets)....

180 or 200-gr. bullets will shoot closer to the sights (elevation-wise) than the 146-gr. factory stuff. I used Lee's data with mine. Helpful people will come up to you and say, "I can see your...

There was nothing in any of my sources for 218-gr. bullets in the 8mm Mauser, but I did find the following:

From Sharpe's Complete Guide to Handloading:

227-gr. MC (metal case), s/d = seating...

I'll check Sharpe and some early Lyman and Hornady manuals and see what I can find. Two grains' difference in weight won't cause a problem with pressure; I've weighed POF .303 bullets that varied...

6.0 grs. of Unique and the 100-gr. 0.312" Bull-X semi-wadcutter with large pistol primers works well in my No2A. Seat the bullets to the top of the lube groove to get a little engraving.
