Yes, OAL is the easier term.
I'm trying to edumacate myself on this reloading stuff. Think I have the basic concept down with CBTO now but I'm sure there's more to it.

Re: Does Taipan still make projectiles
Mate I think they shut up shop years ago, pretty sure someone purchased all their equipment but can’t recall who that was. Best I could find was that there was a well intentioned but failed restart mixed in with some breakins and thefts at the factory. Made it all too difficult to restart productio...

Does Taipan still make projectiles
I discovered a box of 500 Taipan projectiles in my collection and am not sure where I got them.
I tried to look them up but it appears they ceased trading around 2022. Is that correct?
How good are they?

Re: COAL and CBTO
Pardon my ignorance cause I'm reasonably new to this game but what's : COAL means , ie ......overall length mean. & CBTO means. Thanks Raven. No problems, I'm learning this stuff myself hence my questions to those here with far more knowledge. COAL = Cartridge Over All Length. Pretty much what ...

COAL and CBTO
Out of interest how many people here reload using COAL as it relates to CBTO? I've just started down this rabbit hole after watching some of Erik Cortina's videos. So I did some measurements using my Hornady OAL kit on different projectiles and was amazed at the variance between CTBO. I'd be interes...

Re: Happy Birthday Raven
Hey Raven , tell me more about your trigger work on Rugers, Ive got an M77 Vt 2 think, with terrible 3lb 2 stage trigger. I'm happy with two stage triggers but not happy with 3 lb triggers. Is it a big job requiring mammoth degrees in engineering ?? :lol: No rush to come back to me - enjoy your bir...

Re: Happy Birthday Raven
Thank you all for remembering my Ausvarmint birthday.
If I'm lucky, there will be time this weekend to do some trigger work on the Browning.
Already did the Ruger trigger but still haven't been to the range, since I buggered my arm and some other family issues.

Re: Trigger gauge
If it feels right and doesn’t slam fire if you try getting rough with the bolt then the actual weight of pull doesn’t really matter much Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk That’s what I’m thinking. My very basic attempt at measuring it suggested it was it very light but it didn’t feel that light or...

Trigger gauge
I don’t want to be asking too much but if someone has a trigger gauge they’d loan to me (I’ll cover all postage) could you please PM me. I’ve installed new trigger springs and while it seems fine I’d like to test it properly. So far passes all tests but have no idea if it’s too light or not. Sent fr...
