Brian,
You have nailed the crux of the issue, that Jim and my self have long contend, bullet bumps up at chamber mouth is swaged down the funnel then gets another kick in the ass to bump up to groove when it hits the rifling. No thanks.... I have seen bullets fired into a pool with a 7° Chamber, lots of pictures, the bullets told the whole story, it ain’t pretty. I will keep the individual who sent the pictures private.
As I said, I understand what Brian was driving at, and Kurt you obviously didn’t, your posts just confused the whole point, ie it sure as hell muddled the waters.
confused or muddied same word.
I think a bullet catch box is in order, with some honest evaluation as shot. Brian something to add for that trip in October? I Got to find that Lee Shaver article from the SS exchange, it’s been quite a few years, but I think I will definitely build one.
You know here is a ugly painful truth, at least once every 6 months or so, I get a message or email asking how to fix the person who sent the email, accuracy issues with their tight pp chamber with the 7° leade. I quite bluntly tell the truth, you can’t fix it, that super tight chamber requires a smaller diameter bullet to fit the case, that will go through 2 bump ups and a swage down in between. Most complaining about 3 MOA of vertical, how do they fix that. I tell em get it rebarreled, with a standard Shiloh chamber, and patch to bore with a fat bullet and thin paper. That will definitely fix that problem and if PP ain’t your thing you can go back to grease groove, blasphemy
I believe we have had one 7° lead rifle shoot the mile match, it certainly didn’t set anything on fire in the scorings. I believe that individual only hit the target 3 times including practice all weekend.
I am not sure if Randy Clear Crick’s 110 that Loyce shot has a 7° leade.
We measured my vertical at 1 mile with my standard chamber, on the 8/10 run, I actually hit it 1 time on sighters so 9/12. The hits from top to bottom were right at 18 inches, I let you do the math.
As to the vertical. But I can assure you it’s less than 3MOA. That was with my Hell Bitch rifle 1-18 twist and a .446 Money bullet.
Brian, I haven’t a clue what your 40-82 chamber is like, but I assure you I won’t be putting a 7°leade into my new 45-100 Shiloh 1877 on order.
Oh....in a 45-110 Shiloh standard chamber, like you and Chris said just copy what I do.
