Yes.

I've been trying a few different bullets in the spitwad, including the 50gr sierra blitz. I discovered that this is NOT the same as a blitzking, and about 30% of them would blow up out of my 223. They work fine in the spitwad though. I also have a lot of milsurp pulled tracers, and I found that if I cut the tracer part off the back I get a 41gr bullet that works well in the hornet and spitwad:

cool thanks for the update. I may have to pick one of these up for my wildcat.

the base of that bullet looks pretty good. are you using a tubing cutter or like a mini chop saw? curious how you got the nice rounded edges.

SO you neck 'em down? To what?

What's the glass?

Can't complain about the groups if they're all the same
or close.

PO Ackley made the .17/carbine he named .17 PeeWee back in 1950.
I don't have his book, but, am sure I read that he'd made it up in .22
about the same time. Don't know what he called that one.

Foxhunter? Where you at bud??

I cut the tracers in a lathe. Hold them with a collet and a stop that looks like a bullet seater. I ground a cutter that parts off the base and bevels the edge.

The scope on the mini is a vortex. I can't really recommend it, but for the price (xmas sale) it seems to work (unless it's cold). The turrets are good enough that it bounces between a few different rifles. Note the QD rings and the blue tape with zero settings for different rifles. It holds together on a light 338/300 RUM:



Back on this topic: after years of picking up random junk carbine brass at the ranges I finally actually bought some new brass. I just got it necked down and annealed:



Now I just need to set up the lathe to trim the length...

The weather has been pretty nasty so I spent some time getting ready for some volume shooting this year. For some reason I'm having trouble finding the 40gr Hornady Zmax. These are pretty decent for the price, but I may have to look around for something else later on.

Good looking round & rifle, flyrod.
Have or do you use LG in that case.
With RP brass at 14gr. capacity (or was it 15gr. - 1gr. more than WW brass)
I easily hit 3,300fps with 40gr. bullets in the CZ Hornet, only sizing 3/16th in. of the neck.
