Factory vs home rolled ammo

[tac]

Ever tried buying factory .577 Snider ammunition?



Last time I looked at the one company in the USA that actually makes it in small amounts it was around $100/25.

I had a guy ask me to make some different African type Calibers. He was going to loan me the rifles to do the load development with. Much as I'd like to take on a project like that I'm just too busy doing what I do now. Maybe when I retire (again).

Here in UK and in a number of Southern African countries we can still buy most EVERY African calibre imaginable, especially the British type. They are made not far from where we live by David Little's company, Kynamco. All you have to be is rich, but then most folks who shoot African calibres ARE rich. This is a sample...

.240 H&H Flanged

.425 Westley Richards

6.5 Mannlicher Schoenauer

.450 Nitro Express

9.5 Mannlicher Schoenauer

.450 Nitro for Black

.300 H&H Flanged

.450 No.2 Nitro Express

.300 H&H Belted Magnum

.450 Rigby

.303 British

.500/450 Nitro Express

.310 Cadet

.577/450 Martini Henry

.318 Rimless

.500/465 Nitro Express

LOL, the Dave Little I know works for The Gun Works over here in Springfield. One of the nicest and most knolageable gun guys you'll ever meet.

Probably not the same David Little, I'm thinking.

No I'm sure it's not but you do get over here once in a while so I was thinking you might have met him, particularly if you've been in that shop.

It's a very common last name. I even have a couple of chickens with it.

I guess it's a sign of getting old, but you mean DAVE in the Gun Works, right? I ALWAYS mix the name up with The Rifle Shoppe. I DO know Dave in the GUN WORKS. They even sent me group photo to cheer me up, bless 'em.

I'd definitely say 100yd to test.

I would chrono them both and compare standard deviations and accuracy at 100yds instead of 50. Im curious what the reason is for comparing your reloads to factory loads?

Thank you for that. Theyve been the only place in stock with that keeping me supplied, but this is the first one without the cannelure... as far as I know a cannelure doesnt affect accuracy, I might pick up a few bags.
