I have only incountered the "splines" your referring to on military 7.62x51 Blank cartridges. What USSR is referring to is the staining/deformation of a cartridge case that has been fired in a fluted chamber, as are found in most HK g3 style weapons.

I have yet to take any of this ammo out to the range, but will post results when I do.

Bullseye I've used 5.0gr of Bullseye behind my 230gr bullet loads in .45 ACP as long as I can remember at least since the mid '80's. It's the load I used when I started shooting NRA action Pistol Matches.

IIRC AA#7 was developed by the Israelis for use in the 9mm. It's all I use in my 9mm loads, ie... NATO, target and plinking. I load strictly 124gr FMJ, plated or 122gr lead. AA#7 loads worked well enough for me to win my way into the Bianchi Cup. AA#5 is a faster burning powder and should...

I have an Browning A-bolt in 375 H&H. I would recommend installing a Pachmayer Decellerator butt pad, it will help with felt recoil. Even with the butt pad I can only fire maybe 20-25 rounds before my shoulder is done for. The only problem I've had was with the action screws loosening from...

FFL's One reason is due to the fact that people will just package the firearm up and send it via the post office which is violation of federal law. However if a person were to send it via UPS or FedEx I believe that the regulations are only self imposed by those companies.

Starline

the only weapon type that I can think of that might be close would be an HK or one of it's clones.

AR I've bough nice barrels from YHM, you might check them out. http://yhm.net/

Smith Enterprises Vortex for flash suppression. I don't use a muzzle break on a 5.56 caliber AR.

.357 Sig To date I've only done limited load development with the .357 Sig. I've used Ranier Ballistics 124gr TCJHEX HP and Sierra's 125gr JHP bullets. Powders I've used have been Bluedot and AA#5. I used Federal SP primers for the Bluedot powder evaluations and Tula SP primers for the...

6.5 Grendel When I wanted to find a different cartridge to use in the AR platform I researched both the 6.8 SPC and the 6.5 Grendel. Both cartridges have their perks, but after hearing how the 6.8 performed in military testing and seeing the long range attributes of the 6.5 Grendel, I decided...

powder I use Solo 1000 for my .38 special loads. Of the two powders you listed I'd use the Unique.

salt I have an old stump that I just set a white salt block on. I've had a salt block on it for 20 years. The deer don't dig up the ground anymore, they just walk up to the stump and lick the block. Now and again some will chew at the stump a bit, but the does teach the fawns to just lick the...

375 h&h I don't know if they still make them, but I like my Browning a-bolt in 375 H&H.
