pocketshaver I'm dabbling in those waters as well with my SBR




still ironing things out. broke a bit in the barrel drilling the gas port so on hold till I figure out how to get it out without enlarging the hole
did test fire it and with the 6" barrel I'm getting 2650-2700 ft/sec with a 40gr bullet! absolutely blew my goal of 2400 out of the water.
I'll be using ppsh 43 mags to feed the shorty's and plan to try standard mags with the 80gr subsonic's. they hand cycle so hoping it will work.

I haven't seen all of your posts but what cartridges are you playing with there?

Cant you tell that was a joke post by someone? The persons "name" is a tipoff to me, look up Thuer online....


c-4 needs an actual detonator to work. Primers wont do a thing. shouldn't even make it burn.

On the other hand, IF it did ignite, the ignition curve would well over power a 338

.223 short were also working on an improved variant with a 30' shoulder and less case taper. as well as a 17 and 20 cal down the road. too many projects, not enough time.

Forget the shell and crap games.

ATF would love to connect with this guy

IF he actually has some C4. That's a Fed Felony.

There are ways to possess C4 as a civvie, but that's a lot of complicated paperwork and normally just drops to large companies such as mines, quarries, and commercial demolition companies. Though those companies tend to use simple TNT.

I have seen reference to a civilian formulation of C4.

Research has led me to something called the 22 Long Snapper. A shortened down 22 hornet case with a k hornet style shoulder.

Very similar to an idea I had last year, but personally as the round CAN be considered dead, I cant find much at all about it online, except it was made for single shot revolvers and that the few smiths who came up with the cartridge haven't done a conversion in maybe 10-14 years.


IF a hornet case is cut down to 1", can the standard shoulder and neck be used on it?

Scroll down to about half the page on this, I suspect the man in question is on the left, under the title" North Dakota Folks at the 2015 World Long Range Championships"

I do not know him, just did a simple google search.

There is always a way to "Skin a cat", so too speak. Why doubt the man ? And do look at the link provided by another post. Bill K
