M1917 Eddystone range trip
1I only had 150g bullets so that's what I used. I read from various un-named internet experts that the best rounds are anything from 150-220g
Puffing up is no substitute for smarts but it's a common home remedy

With that sling you could do a loop sling or a hasty sling for supporting the rifle.Baekgu wrote:The strap helps if you know how to do it correctly. Something about looping your arm into it and bracing it against your tricep so there is leverage. I think...
But yeah... that's a very fine rifle there. O.O Makes me want to get into long guns again.
O.O Are you going to put a scope on it? 300 yards with iron sights would be impressive to say the least.Simmer down wrote:This is one of the guns that I want to take to a long range. The 300 yard in San Antonio sounds good.
That's the one! xDTrueTexan wrote:

Aye, that's another good method!inomaha wrote:I shoot rifles hand held the same way as my heavy camera lenses. I have one setup that weighs in at 10 lbs. I use it on the move with sports.
I hold my left arm flat against my body with my elbow digging in my ribs. It looks something like this. It makes a stable base if you hold your feet right.
Those are amazing shots.eelj wrote:If you listened to your health teacher and have good eyes you could possibly shoot like this with irons. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KGy_SN_XbfY

I shoot cast lead in all of my 30cals with the bullets sized to .310, although I haven't tried for the classic cat fart load mine have all been in the 1500 fps range and are great fun too shoot. If you are really serious you could buy a Lee mold either the 150 gr or the 170 gr one that is very similar in design to the Lyman 311041. Lee only makes 309 or 311 push through sizing dies but since you want something very light I would go with the 311 and if the mold doesn't cast them over size just water quench them and let them sit for a couple of weeks, they will expand in size.Simmer down wrote:I've been collecting older reloading data and I see some 30-06 loads using 32 cal lead. I slugged this barrel and it's at .311. Those 308s must be careening wildly down the barrel. My next project is to find a slowish smallish lead load for this.
I read on a few forums how rifle cases were loaded with superlight lead and powder for a short range and silent shoot. Gallery load, Cat sneeze, Mouse fart, etc. No data so still looking.
