What ammo does your 69A like? Mine seems to be finicky.

I always liked the BRNO Model 1s. Have never had one but handled several when I worked with Duane Wiebe. I helped him with the programming for the bottom metal he made for them. I have a Winchester 69A and it’s Ok in the accuracy department.

Very cool knife. I just got one - a nice USA-made knife for 55$!

That number looks like a post G-series Serial after the New Haven factory closed. Looks much later than 1992

Lots of things to consider. 10s are harder to hold still than 8s, lighter are harder to hold still than heavier(generally), heavier more fatiguing than lighter to carry, etc. I have a heavier set of 10 x 42s (old Japanese vortex that are much better than the newer Chinese) that I carried in...

Be careful with the 300 Gr -A-Frame. If i remember right they are swaged 375 300 grs. When I loaded dummies for my 9.3 the 300 gr stuck in the lands when loaded to the same OAL as my other bullets I tried. the 300 carries its weight forward. teh black lines here are where the bullet (from...

No Les Baer?

Yup. The Federal 300gr Trophy Bonded is listed at 2400 fps. My 9.3 shoots a 286 North Fork at 2505 - that gives 3985 fpe at the muzzle.

Sorry…Potter…;-). Must have been thinking about Midway USA.

I believe Morgan Potterfield with Robin Hurt uses a 475 No2.

Not a metallurgist... but is it possible some steel jackets could be demagnetized during the swaging/forming phase?

That is really interesting. I know you've only a limited supply, but my curiosity would lead me to pull one of each and section it just to see how different they are.

Looks like just over the head into the top of the back
