Here is link to guy doing special 585 HE in the EU, Good pictures., Ed,..... ...... www.585he.cz This would be appropriate for kodiak bear. Alaskan rangers carry 458 Winchester rifles, and are trained to use them rapid fire, shooting, reloading and shooting until the bear stops (or they are killed)...

All are good looking, and FORBIDDEN to me.
I live in a state of repression.

Looking at the CMP rifle sales, they have specials with external pitting on the receivers for around $850; with new wood, barrel etc. Might make a really good shooter where you're less concerned about dinging up a historical or collectable rifle.

I believe Swiss GP11 used the equivalent of Reloader 17 for propellant. While it sort of falls in the burning rate range of H4350, IMR4350 and WW760, it has a different pressure curve. The peak pressure is a little lower and the curve is flatter.

The military principle of overkill is still followed?

At the time troops were constantly drilled and trained in the loading process so it became automatic. Veteran troops could maintain a remarkable rate of fire on the battlefield.

Probably the biggest delay in reloading is getting an enblock in your fingers ready to press it into the rifle. The US GI 10-pocket belt is probably still the best for reloading from. Bandoliers really are a PIB to work with, and are best for refilling the belt when time permits. Folks would be surp...

A large part of recoil is the rocket engine effect from the high pressure gas (6,000 to 15,000 psi) exiting the muzzle after the bullet leaves.

Once someone picks the rifle up off the bench and shoots from a "field" position, that minute-of-angle rifle may not even stay on the paper.
Under those conditions, most won't see the difference between a tack driver and one that shoots 4 inch groups at 100 yards.

That video pretty much dispelled all the so-called flaws associated with the M1. The "enemy hearing the ping" being the most absurd. With all the racket of rifles being fired the enemy won't hear it. This was verified by interviews of German soldiers after the war. It is a good signal to the shooter...

It looks like a cut down and sporterized Swiss G11 rifle. Might be a cut down Swiss M1889 also, but G11 rifle is more likely.

I remember following this occasionally in a shotgun forum.

Remembering that the cartridges fed OK from the right side, and I'm using an "03A3 straight grip stock (not necessarily the most precise fit) I thought the magazine box might be misaligned a bit. I removed the magazine assembly and built up the inside of the stock with masking tape (six layers) to s...

Worth trying the follower. I need to add that the problem is with 220gr round-nose loads. M2 ball feeds just fine. The M2 tip enters the chamber just before the cartridge reaches the point when it wants to veer out of alignment. The lead tip on the round nose hits the edge of the chamber and hangs u...

Cartridges from the left side of the magazine get angled too far to the right and do not enter the chamber. The ones on the right side have no problems. We may be somewhat of a right-sided family but the rifle needs to feed all rounds from the magazine.
Any idea where to start looking to fix this?
