Hi, I am a Life Member, no. 00394. I am surprised one
cannot access back issues via a search. Years ago there were reloads published for the 223 and downrange results. One charge was 27.5 grains of WW 748. Is there a way to access this, or these, issues?
Thanks, Carroll Pooler Louisiana
Hi Folks, Here is my renewal for three years. And, I am saddened to learn that Precision Shooting has
gone out of business. They told me they are looking for an- other publication to pick them up. But it occurred to me that if that doesn’t happen, you could pick up their writers and include much of what is normally in their magazine in your magazine. I think their publication, for format and content, is the best. I really like articles which read page to page without the need of skipping to another page to continue the story. The Varmint Hunter Magazine rivals Precision Shooting in the articles, and if you can get some of those folks on board you will be happy. So will I. Thanks for considering it.
Best regards, David Lee Valdina Florida
Dear V.H.A., In reference to Mic McPherson’s article “What Hap-
pens While A Gun Is Firing” on page 72 in Issue #84, Fall 2012: By far this article on what happens between the firing pin falling and the bullet leaving the muzzle is the best I’ve
ever, ever read! As a gun nut and owning one of the very first 6.5x284
rifles I’m always looking for authoritative and accurate articles on internal and external ballistics. Mic’s dissertation is by far the very best ever and I want all my friends to have a copy … particularly my gunsmith who is just finishing a 7mm SAUM Ackley Improved for me.
With great respect and admiration, Herb Reed
Dear Sir, Re: J.C. Mullen’s article on the Winchester 25 WSSM Rifle I did enjoy Mr. Mullen’s article on the various 25 caliber
rifles, except on the 25 WSSM. I purchased one for my son Geoff about six to seven years ago. After shipping it back to Winchester for repairs, it became a great shooter. On his first trip to Montana he dropped a prairie dog at 517 yards and since then has taken six antelope. So I decided I needed a rifle like this also. I talked to several warranty repair gunsmiths and they recommended seating the bullets very close to the lands and grooves. This I did.
I tried several brands of bullets, powder and primers.
Most were very good. I ended up with the 100-grain Speer and Sierra boat tails with IMR 4350 and 4895. Since then, I have seven antelope to my credit, with one being at 512 yards using a Speer 87-grain spitzer.
The 25 WSSM is a great little round if you have the
patience enough to work with it ’till you get your desired load and velocity.
Sincerely yours, Charles W. Vaughn California
