Isold my first article to a gunmagazine in 1981 and haven’tstopped. One of the real fringebenefits of my job has been to visitgun and ammunition manufactur-ers both here and abroad. Some-times companies with new productsto introduce will schedule somesort of event, usually involvinghunting or shooting, and invite agroup of writers to attend. I’vebeen to a lot of those, and they’realmost always worthwhile. Youget to meet technical and market-ing folks from the company, andthey get a captive audience to lis-ten to the party line.

Contrary to public opinion fromfolks who never met a real gun

writer, however, we are not show-ered with lavish gifts or willingwomen and, no, all guns aren’tfree either. However, there often isa goodie bag, sometimes called“SWAG” (stuff we all get), withsmall items like hats and acces-sories, maybe a shirt or cleaningkit. After awhile, stuff accumulatesto the point something has to go.No, I really don’t need six cleaningkits, so they are passed on tofriends.

There is one, a very significantother, who gets first choice. Shecame up with the term “gunwritergraft” for those goodies. One defi-nition of graft includes politicalcorruption or the buying of favor,

but I prefer the horticultural defi-nition, which is a good thing. Ac-tually, the term has become a jokebetween us, but since everyone atthe event gets the same thing, myconscience is clear.

A writer’s relationship with themanufacturers is a very importantpart of the job, but public per -ception that they own us isn’t true either. Nor do we get speciallytricked-out guns to test, and I’vehad a few articles that were notviewed kindly by the company.One executive called the editor tocancel his advertising, only tolearn that his company didn’t ad-vertise there.

FRINGE BENEFITS

April-May 2014 17www.handloadermagazine.com

Once I got a nice letter from asmall company, thanking me for awriteup, that had a $50 bill en-closed. I wrote them a thank-younote for the kind words and toldthem that the magazine had al-ready paid me and enclosed a $50 bill of my own. On the otherside of the coin, we are often con-tacted by small companies or indi-viduals seeking ink. That is fine,and if a product sounds interest-ing, I’ll agree to look at it but willnot promise a review without test-ing and talking to the editor first.Now and then you will hear fromor meet a guy who has somethinghe thinks will change the worldbut makes no sense at all. Diplo-macy is a learned skill.

Now and then you hear frommarketing types who, since theydon’t know much about firearms,assume we don’t either. A new-comer to a big company wrote mea letter so full of misinformationand downright lies that I sent it to the president of the company.The next time I heard from thenewcomer, it was clear he had re-ceived some training and perhapsa lecture, for “contrite” was a gooddescription of his behavior.

Marketing is a big deal and a lit-tle horn-blowing is fine, but claimsof excellence that cannot be provenraise red flags for me. Once I got acall from someone selling a borecleaner making claims that werechemically impossible. I quietlysaid that I didn’t think that wouldwork, but he went on to assure methat it would. He was very insis-tent and frankly ticked me off. Fi-nally, I asked if he knew anythingabout my background. He admit-ted he didn’t, and I asked if he hadever heard of analytical chemistry.Never did hear from him again.

For every one of those BS artists,there have been 100 who helpedme improve my craft and taughtme more about guns and ammuni-tion. Over time they found out thatall I wanted to do was learn, andnothing told to me in confidence

ever appeared in print. That is thekiss of death for a writer. Yearsago I heard a story about a writerwho violated that rule and wastold by his editor to write a letterof apology that would, “bring tearsto the eyes of nuns in Calcutta.” Itwas too good not to be true.

If ever there was a paranoid in-dustry, it is the ammunition folks,and my overwhelming impressionwas that they feared a competitormight glean a valuable tidbit fromsomething I wrote. My strong senseis that there aren’t really that manysecrets, because the competitorsall make the same stuff and prob-ably have the same equipment too.

A long time ago, I was invited tovisit Winchester’s ammunition fa-cility in East Alton, Illinois. I wasnot permitted to take a camera. In-stead, they sent a company pho-tographer to accompany me. Hetook any photo I asked for, and aweek or so later, I got a contactsheet of the pictures. Almost all ofthem were marked out with a bigred X. My story was to be aboutloading methods, and one pictureI wanted was of a high-speed load-ing machine. It was X’d out. Therewas nothing secret to see in thepicture, and I had seen photos ofthe exact same machine in anotherpublication. I made a copy and sentit to my contact and wouldn’t youknow I got the print.

The greatest fringe benefit of allhas been going to places all overthe world about which I had read,dreamt of and thought I’d neversee. I’ve gotten to shoot at famousranges like Black Canyon, CampPerry and Bisley; hold a gun thatbelonged to Winston Churchill; andwalk down Rue John Browningand stand at his workbench inLiege. I’ve walked down a street in Pamplona an hour before thebulls ran and have seen world cap-itals like Helsinki, London, Paris,Madrid and Seoul. And wonder of wonders, I’ve been paid too. Ifyou promise not to tell . . . I’d havedone it free. •

Micro-GrooveRifling

Turns out,cast bullets

shoot just fine.

John Haviland

With great hopes for a longassociation with a newrifle, I knuckled downbehind my Marlin 336C

.35 Remington and fired at a target. Ahopeful look through the spottingscope at the 100-yard target revealedbullet holes up and down the targetlike strings of popcorn on a Christmastree. “It’s true,” I mumbled, “that theaccuracy of cast bullets is terribleshot through Micro-Groove rifling.”I’d read and heard for 45 years the lands of Micro-Groove rifling were too short to firmly grip and prop-erly spin cast lead alloy bullets. Also, the bore ofMicro-Groove barrels was supposedly somewhat largerthan standard diameter and together with their 12 nar-row and shallow grooves provided inadequate gassealing with cast bullets. The advice was if any accu-racy could be achieved, it would come from “hard castbullets,” whatever that meant.

There must be something to the rumored incom-patibility of cast bullets with Micro-Groovebores, because in the late 1990s, Marlinswitched from Micro-Groove to what it calls“deep-cut Ballard-type rifling” with six groovesfor some of its lever actions commonlyshot with cast bullets. Marlin includesthis Ballard-type rifling in its Model 1894.357 and .44 magnums and .45 Colt, 336XLR .30-30 Winchester, Model 444 in .444Marlin and Model 1895 .45-70.

The Marlin 336C lever action is the only riflecurrently chambered in .35 Remington.

rifle is a well-built and good-look-ing lever action and the only riflecurrently chambered in .35 Rem-ington.

Lyman stated the barrel bore ofthe Marlin 336 used for its testsmeasured .357 inch between op-posing grooves. A lead slug tappedthrough the bore of my 336 cameout with the same diameter. So for one, Micro-Groove barrels be-tween the grooves are not over-sized. If anything, the .35-caliberMicro-Groove is slightly narrowerthan standard because the groove-to-groove diameter of the .350 Rem-ington Magnum and .35 Whelenrifles measure .358 inch. I couldnot get a measurement of the di-ameter between opposing lands onthe lead slug to determine its borediameter.

Lyman sized cast bullets at .357

inch to match the groove diameterof its .35 Remington rifle. How-ever, bullets for other cartridgeslisted in various Lyman handbookswere sized larger than groove di-ameter. The standard practice withcast bullets is to size bullets .001 to.002 inch larger than groove diam-eter to produce a tight gas seal inthe bore.

I set to work at my furnace witha Redding/SAECO .35-caliber 200FPGC mould casting bullets of plainwheelweights, 50 percent lead with50 percent Linotype and straightLinotype. Inspecting the bulletsshowed a few of the wheelweightalloy bullets were less than fullyformed and contained a wrinklehere and there. Bullets cast of thetwo other lead alloys looked pic-ture-perfect and varied in weight,at most, ±0.5 grain. The diameterof the bullets dropped from the

mould was .3585 inch for the wheel-weight, .359 inch for 50/50 lead toLinotype and .3595 inch for theLinotype. Pushing the bullets inand out of a .359-inch sizing die didnothing more to the two narrowerlead alloy bullets than squeeze lu-bricant in their lube groove andseat a gas check. The Linotype bul-lets were sized a touch, mostly ontheir seams. All three of those bul-let diameters are correct for theMarlin’s bore.

A gunsmith friend is a devotee ofcast bullets and the .35 Remington

Lyman has been preaching foryears on the incompatibility ofMicro-Groove rifling with cast bul-lets. The 1970 Lyman ReloadingHandbook for Rifle, Pistol andMuzzle Loading, 45th Edition,states in the .35 Remington sec-tion: “With cast bullets, the bulletshould be sized to the exact groovediameter. If the rifle has multi orshallow groove rifling, then castbullet velocities must be held to1600 F.P.S. or less, if accuracy is to be obtained.” More recent Ly -man handbooks reiterate the samemessage.

Despite those warnings, I was de-termined to shoot cast bullets inthe Marlin .35 Remington. The .35Remington is a perfect cartridgefor cast bullets, because its caseholds enough powder to impartabout 2,000 fps of velocity to 200-grain bullets. Plus, the Marlin 336C

This lead slug was driven through theMarlin’s Micro-Groove rifling andshows some of the bore’s 12 narrow,shallow grooves.

Sizing SAECO 200-grain FNGC castbullets .002 inch larger than the Marlin’s .357-inch groove diameterhelped the bullets shoot accuratelyfrom the Micro-Groove rifling.

for deer hunting. The bolt-action.35 rifle he made has regular rifling,however; and he said the rifleshoots very accurately with bul-lets cast of wheelweights from anRCBS 35-200-FN mould loadedover 36.0 grains of BL-C(2). He ex-perienced occasional slight hang-fires when using standard largerifle primers with the load, butswitching to magnum primers elim -inated them. H-4895 is another fa-vorite powder of his.

I started with 33.0 grains of BL-C(2), Winchester Large RifleMagnum primers and the SAECObullets cast of the three lead alloysloaded in Remington .35 Reming-ton cases. The first four shots withthe wheelweight bullets createdthe group that dashed my hopesfor the Marlin. Groups with theother two alloys also strung upand down the targets.

velocities of the three lead alloybullets ranged from the lows tothe highs of 1,900 fps. The 50 per-cent Linotype and straight Lino-type bullets shot groups from 1.5to 2.0 inches. Those groups areabout the same size as the Marlinshoots jacketed Sierra Pro-Hunter200-grain roundnose and Speer220-grain FNSP bullets.

The group shot with 39.0 grainsof BL-C(2) and wheelweight bulletsremained slightly over 3.0 inches.With the same velocity of 1,900 fps,the SAECO bullets cast of wheel-weights shot tighter groups thanthose from a Winchester Big BoreModel 94 .356 Winchester and

a Remington Model 700 .35 Whe-len, both of which have standardrifling.

Accuracy of the wheelweight bul-lets remained about the sameswitching to 32.0 grains of H-4895,which produced a velocity of 1,700fps, but accuracy went to pot whenvelocity increased to nearly 2,000fps with the powder charge in-creased by 3.0 grains. That limitedshooting indicates a somewhatharder lead alloy than wheelweights

ations of up to 267 fps were thecause of those vertical strings.Bullet holes varied little horizon-tally. The pressure from that lightamount of BL-C(2) was probablyless than 20,000 psi, and at thatlow level the powder had failed toburn consistently.

Bumping the powder weight upto 36.0 grains decreased velocity

spreads considerably. Average ve-locities ranged from 1,769 fps forthe wheelweight bullets to 1,849fps for the Linotype bullets. Ver -tical stringing was still present but less so, and groups shrank tosomewhat over 3.0 inches.

Velocity spreads decreased toabout 70 fps with 39.0 grains ofBL-C(2). As the load table shows,

This group at 100 yards shows terrible vertical stringing caused by an improper amount of BL-C(2) powder,not Micro-Groove rifling.

With 39.0 grains of BL-C(2), 200-grainbullets cast of 50 percent lead and 50percent Linotype shot nice, roundgroups at 100 yards.

H-4895 produced low velocityspreads with cast bullets and

good groups at 100 yards.

with 35.0 grains of H-4895. Thoseskewed bullets reared their uglyheads every so often, no matterthe best attempts at casting andloading.

Four bullets fired from a leveraction with a 4x scope that land insomewhat over an inch to 2.0inches at 100 yards silence the be-lief that cast bullets are inaccuratewhen shot through Micro-Grooverifling.

Whatever type of rifling cast riflebullets are fired through, they re-quire several casting and loadingelements to make them shoot well.For one, the lead alloy bullets mustbe sufficiently hard to withstandthe pressure developed by the burn-ing powder. This does not meanexcessive pressure will cause thebullets to leave streaks of lead inthe bore, but only that the bullets,usually at the base, have becomedistorted. A gas check that pro-tects the bullet base goes a longway to prevent that deformationabove 1,500 fps of velocity. Thecorrect bullet diameter for thegroove-to-groove diameter of thebarrel bore is also important to fillthe grooves and provide a tightgas seal.

When I first shot cast bullets in a.35 Whelen, I only had a .357-inchsizing die. At that diameter, thebullets left smears of lead in theback half of the rifling. The bulletshad expanded enough at that pointto close the bore, and the fronthalf of the barrel was free of lead.Accuracy was nonexistent. I boughta .359-inch sizing die and ran someof the same batch of bullets throughit. The bore remained clean, andgroups fired at 100 yards meas-ured about 1.5 inches and oftentighter. The correct powder andamount is also essential, as illus-trated by the wide span of veloci-ties produced by light amounts ofBL-C(2) powder that sprayed bul-lets like a garden hose.

Taking all those factors into con-sideration, I plan on having a longand satisfying companionship withthe Marlin 336C .35 Remington withits Micro-Groove rifling.

shoots best through Micro-Grooverifling. Then again, that speed isabout where accuracy begins tosuffer with bullets cast of wheel-weights, no matter what type of rifling they are fired through.

The bullets cast of 50 percentLinotype were sufficiently hard,because they shot even more ac-curately with both charge weightsof H-4895. Bullets cast of Lino-type shot about as well. One flyerruined an otherwise tight group
