Table of Contents below
ISBN - 978-0-9683002-7-5 Perfect Bound - 64 pgs - 6x9 With domestic and military surplus stocks at an all time low, it was
time to think about loading my own. I wanted hunting and plinking ammunition, so I tested five different bullets - three
123 grain and two 150 grain. But
before I reloaaded anything, I wanted to check out how commercially made ammunition shot. If I ever run out of
handloads, I'll know what to buy. I tested Federal, PMC and Winchester factory loads as well as Prvi Partizan, Igman and even
some Norinco Silver box - for the hell of it. All the test results are there. Some may surprise you! Also:
Case Comparisons - Using Water to Measure the Volume Difference
and Pressure Variations - Differences Caused by Changing the Case.
I
also did tests with WC 735, an inexpensive military surplus powder similar to H335.
123
and 150 grain bullets. 7.62x39 brass - wow, there is
quite a difference in internal volume between the six brands I tried!! What an eye opener! The powder charge, bullet and primer remained the same, but the pressure jumped as I switched case types and the
internal case capacity was reduced! Pressure started at 50k, but skyrocketed to 67K. EVERY loader of this cartridge
should know which brand has the most internal space...and the least! This shows why you should always start at the minimum load listed!! I also tested six commercial loads. Which ones shot
the tightest groups? Reloaders and non-reloaders will want to know which brands shot the best...and the worst. You should have heard the reactions from my friends when I told them about my new Remington 799 bolt
gun. Everyone said that it was underpowered. I couldn’t
figure out why. With a 150 grain bullet, fired from a lightweight deer rifle, it should be perfect.
Launched at 2200 fps, it had over 1400 ft/lb of energy at 100 yd. Even using a 125 grain bullet,
it had over 1200 ft/lb of energy at 100 yards if it started out at 2450 fps. Fifty seven pages. 8.5x11 format.
Perfect Bound. Lots of information. It will help with your own load development. Check out the table of contents.
