Cal, That's it. It's a large, multi-threaded aluminum body, into which one threads the various sleeves, etc. | |||

Cal My guy made a set of inserts for the RCBS cowboy die so that I can load 20ga. He made a sizer ring and crimp insert. He also made me two separate sized dies 12 and 20 gauge.

From our double rifle shoot today. Six shots in two holes! 12-bore load was a 590-grain ball sized to .740, 3 drams or 110 grains of FFFg with an over powder wad and some spacers. Not bad if I do say so myself! Cal PS. I don't know who shot the small holes.  _______________________________ Cal Pappas, Willow, Alaska www.CalPappas.com www.CalPappas.blogspot.com 1994 Zimbabwe 1997 Zimbabwe 1998 Zimbabwe 1999 Zimbabwe 1999 Namibia, Botswana, Zambia--vacation 2000 Australia 2002 South Africa 2003 South Africa 2003 Zimbabwe 2005 South Africa 2005 Zimbabwe 2006 Tanzania 2006 Zimbabwe--vacation 2007 Zimbabwe--vacation 2008 Zimbabwe 2012 Australia 2013 South Africa 2013 Zimbabwe 2013 Australia 2016 Zimbabwe 2017 Zimbabwe 2018 South Africa 2018 Zimbabwe--vacation 2019 South Africa 2019 Botswana 2019 Zimbabwe vacation 2021 South Africa 2021 South Africa (2nd hunt a month later) ______________________________ | |||

Bravo, Very satisfactory result. Probably do well with a Paradox type bullet. Nitro "Man is a predator or at least those of us that kill and eat our own meat are.

Interesting point. In all of my 4s and 8s over the years I could never get a Paradox bullet to print an acceptable target at any range. In my current 4 and 8s I can shoot 4-5" at 50 yards with both ball and conical but a Paradox shoots 12-18" at the same distance. Is this just me? Any gents out there shooting Paradox accurately out of bore rifles that have full rifling? If so, what's the secret?

Cal, I'm gonna channel Shootaway for a moment. Those are nice groups but you've got bigger problems afoot! Some of your bullets seem to have shrunk appreciably enroute to the target! You say this is at 30 yards? At this rate I think those top two bullets would disappear completely by 50. Not too useful for hunting. With all of these problems I'm sure you'll want to disposes of it. I'll give you a great trade on a nice, reliable, broken in SKS.

I suspect that those ity bity holes were from Matt shooting across the range. NRA Life ASSRA Life DRSS Today's Quote: Give a man a fish and he eats for a day.

Cal The belt on a RB once engraved in the barrel is about the same bearing surface of the front belt on a paradox molded bullet. So the second belt doubles the bearing surface. Paradox bullet should weigh a little more depending on alloy and hollow tip. Or if it is the WR steel capped Explora type. I really can't see the slighly slower velocities (due to slight mass and bearing surface) throwing off things that much. Maybe slower or faster powder to change the pressure curve, barrel time and recoil impulse. Just some thoughts Nitro "Man is a predator or at least those of us that kill and eat our own meat are.

Cal, my guess is that there is a big difference between a Paradox gun's rate of twist and the rates of twist of your bore rifles. What is the rate of twist in your 12 bore? . | |||

1:100. That's why balls shoot so well. However, in 8s and 4s with 1:100 and 1:50 I can't get Paradox bullets to group worth a damn.

Guys you need to confirm to Cal the he's not supposed to have those paradox bullets look like wad cutters. The pointy end goes outward! Right?

Cal, if memory serves me, a 12 gauge Paradox barrel is more like 1:34". Perhaps you could knock the edges off your Paradox bullets and tumble them to make them more round. . | |||
