AA2520

Will, I've only experimented with the Prvi Partizan 174 gr bullet and found that 42 grains of AA2520 powder gives the best accuracy in both my P14 and No4. I haven't tried it yet in my Lee Metford Cavalry Carbine and my Long Lee. (I was looking through an old notebook last week and found that I'd jo...

A Yorkshireman pay for lunch? Are you guys serious?

Free food and drink, lovely surroundings and a Yank to take the p*ss out of.

It doesn't get better than this.

Looking forward to next Easter, gentlemen.

SMLE Birthday

As one has come to expect, S-B, another brilliant post.

Well done, that man!

I think the chap you are trying to identify is Seth Ellett (sp?) He's an RFD who exhibits at the Bisley Fairs and specialises in British military rifles.

Update on AA2520 Loading Data

Here's the reply I received from Western/Accurate Powders' ballistician in response to my recent query. The loads for the 174gr bullet on our website from the No 2 guide are confusing. The loads are very conservative. The 150gr and 180gr loads are more in line with reality. You can use the 180gr dat...

BSA Air Rifle

Ladies' Model, eh, Joe? Adam said you weren't to be trusted in the showers. :lol: A mate of mine started collecting these when he was forced to hand in his Broomhandle Mauser and Lugers and he has an example of every model made. They are superbly made rifles and regularly turn up at the Bisley Fairs...

Totally off topic

I saw in The Times yesterday that Youngs (the Scottish seafood company) is going to sack 120 local process employees paid £6 an hour and ship scampi to Thailand for hand peeling by employees paid £0.25 an hour and then freighter it back to Annan for breading, packaging and distribution. 600 tons of ...

Westlander?

In the end I had to write to Western Powders using airmail as their website seems to have taken a disliking to my browser. I gave them my e-mail address in the hope of a quick reply and will post their response when received. There's a sticker on my tubs of powder "LOVEX D 073-06 Manufactured b...

A Quiet Life

For your information, mate, I took up shooting in 2001 long after the battle to retain hanguns had been lost so please don't lecture me about its causes.

Adam's pokey loads

I had noticed that, Joe, but, unlike some, I'm too much of a gentleman to point it out. :roll: I made another unsuccessful attempt at contacting Accurate Arms via their Web page today so it looks as though I will have to use snail mail to ask my question. It does seem strange though that the quoted ...

Load development advice

Sincere thanks for your very detailed and erudite reply, Adam. I fully understand your disclaimer and appreciate why you have included it. I tried e-mailing AA about a week ago but got an error message, something about my browser not generating a header. It meant nothing to me. Doh! Perhaps a chrono...
