Title: Re: "Kangaroo" Rifles Post by butlersrangers on Feb 16th, 2020 at 6:48pm
I use to have a B.S.A. in .310 Cadet and marked "Q" for Queensland.
I used .318" diameter pure lead cast (approx. 120 grain) projectiles with some improper dimension RCBS Dies. I machined .32-20 brass to proper length and rim thickness on a Lathe. My bullets were not a "Heeled" design. Accuracy was great, but, brass life was short. My Cases were stretched with head separations after a couple of firings. The case and bullet combination were too close a fit in the chamber throat. In hindsight, I probably should have just made the cases shorter than the British .310 Cadet dimensions. "Baltimoreed" - Some of your brass appears to have the appearance of pending "incipient head-separation". |
