I made up my mind until yesterday that I wasn't going to wild cat any more ! No ! I'm too Old ! Been there done that ! I don't need to buy any more rifles ! Nope the end ,Finite, no more ,I haven't got the time or interest any more !
Then it happened !!!!!!! Damn the Man ! The Fool ! Bloody Idiot ! Why bother another Old broken down Pro shooter ? The Man's a sick Pervert ! Yes a Old Mate turned up for Coffee & Bullsh*t & "Just happened to mention " (Yeah right ) He had just happened to throw a couple rifles in the back of his truck as he & I hadn't had a shot in a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG time & it was a lovely day for a shot ! Yeah well one of them was his 35-303 wasn't it ! After heating up the barrel ,he made mention of the fact that I was thinking of building one ,was I still interested ? I was strong & replied .NO!!!!!!! several more Clips & all of a sudden , I started thinking ...well maybe ...No I'm not going there!! Of course he made mention that Status arms in New Zealand are making what we called the 35-303 Hambley -Clark these days & more importantly the dies for the above & Sprinters still have 5 different types of Reamer (including the 35 Staus/Hambley -Clark ) ! So after sleeping on it I'm going to get the ball rolling !!!!! Here we go again !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Dave |

Tony I was at a friends house the other night and he children would come and ask him for money by saying, "DADDY I NEED". I just happened to be there when he had enough. He did not blink an eye or reply to them. They continued to say, "Daddy!!! I need". He just acted just like they were not even there. He turned to me and asked me to give his two children a bit of information. Tell them that my name to them is Father, Dad, Daddy, or the can call be by my name. However it is not and I will repeat it is not, "DADDY I Need".

I solved that problem, Daughter is gone from home now and has a boyfriend i dont like .. so Her Mother tells Her to ask her boyfriend , if you would be dating Stan you would not have money problems...
As for me I just give the whole check to the Wife and she puts my over time in my personal account for gun and ammo purcheses. and tell the kids to ask your mother.... which is a lost cause... because she starts thinking about some job they can do for the money..(well its just Boogie left at home now)
Oh By the Way.. Boogie is a great cook for a 15 year old , His fried pork chops are great!!!! and He does the laundry better than His sister did, and cleans house great also...

The 270-303 is the way to go ! It was the first of the .303 conversions! I strongly recommend using the # 4 action as a Platform for the round ! 100 gn Pill Min load 35.1 Max Load 39gns of Varget 100 gn Pill Min Load 39 Max Load 44gns of H4350 130 gn Pill Min load 32 Max Load 36.2 gns of Varget 130 gn Pill Min Load 38 Max Load 42.3 gns of H4350 150 gn Pill Min Load 30 Max Load 33 gns of Varget 150 gn Pill Min Load 36 Max Load 40gns of H4350 Dies are readily available from Simplex Australia & the round is formed simply by running a .303 through a 270--303 FLR die with very little effort ! I do recommend annealing the cases after forming though ! There is a fair school of thought & arguement on this issue , some people argue that you only have to anneal after forming the brass back to .257 or less & the rest of us argue it is better to anneal after any forming Dave |
