Pattern 14's
My pal had just picked up an early ERA MkI* and, being keen to shoot it, asked if I had some indoor downloaded rounds he could try. So today I took along my Winchester P14 and took the opportunity of a few comparison snaps.
After a wee bit of foresight adjustment to the ERA we had a little competition and my pal outshot me with my own handloads!
Cest la vie.

Re: Pattern 14's
So what are the loads Joe. I am using a 115 grain .311 boolit with 4 grains of Vit310 in mine for short range work.

Re: Pattern 14's
I had two different loads Dave, a 155g NOE 155-316 PB sized .314 over 4.5g of N310.
And a 118g NOE 313640 PB sized .314 also over 4.5g of N310. Both loads shot well in both rifles when the nut behind the butt did his job right!

Re: Pattern 14's
Thanks Joe. Interesting stuff these short range loads. I am quite enjoying reloading cast for my toys at the moment. I got some really good results with the MAS36 I was surprised. I am taking the Mosin Nagant to the range tomorrow night to chrono it. Seeing as I cant sell it I may as well shoot it.
