Ladder! Atta boy! Your friend, The Devil

NY. It's less of a choice and more of a sentence in a gulag. I'd leave tomorrow if I could.

I'm honestly not worried about this at all. There's a greater threat to us here in NY. We have to fight just to keep what few gun rights he have left. Speaking of which, how's the housing market in PA looking these days?

Just a quick update. 4.7 wasn't very accurate, but 5.0 was fantastic. I think I'll go with that.

Took the Sterling to the range today and lost that tiny little screw that holds the front sight in place. Anyone know where I can get replacements for those? I've searched a few usual places but none had the screw I needed. Thanks!

Thanks for your help everyone. Hopefully I can find that sweet spot.

I made six rounds using 4.7 and six rounds using 5.1. I'll try them both and see which one is more accurate. As far as safety goes, I should be well within the safe zone, correct?

Ok, so we're looking at in the neighborhood of 1.268 COAL. I've decided to scale it back to 4.7. Sound ok?

Ha, probably. I'll post back later tonight when I get home.

I don't remember offhand but I believe it's 1.65 or somewhere around there. That's assuming I have the def of COAL correct. It's the overall length of the cartridge, correct?

I only made four at 5.4. I just don't want to damage the gun.

Ok, I'll bullet-pull the ones I made with 5.4 and dial it back a bit. Thanks!

I guess my reloading doesn't get all that technical. I just seat them under the max legnth listed in my manual. How would I know if I'm getting 800fps? I'm guessing it involves math of some sort.

Fine, I'll just blow my face off then!

Decided that I would try this load. I was hoping to post it here and see if anyone thinks I have too high of a load. Just trying to be safe here. 5.4 grains of Clays Universal CCI Magnum primers 230gr rn bullets
