The Hyde Base Method

[Kenny Wasserburger]

Kurt,

your right in a lot of ways, Frank Hyde was a sells person for Sharps, also a damm fine Creedmoor Shooter, in 1878 with his brand new Borchardt he pretty much won everything he entered, the Wimbledon Cup, The Leech Cup, and some big Money matches too. Hell of a long range shooter.

I know, I started shooting my 45-110 in 1994 Sept. It's on Barrel #2 and this one has shot lights out since day one. Both Grease Groove and Paper patch. I had a tight Chamber on the first one and a tight chamber by choice it runs about .4795 and I wish it was more like .476 at the mouth. But it still shoots FL Sized to .476 cases like a charm and very accurately.

So for me in Sept 2013 to win the Scope Class At Raton, and too have won the Scope Class at Phoenix Winter Nationals was a hoot for the 19th year I been knocking around with this old rifle.

While we are now running longer then the original Creedmoor era did, Those boys were pretty sharp using 1-11, 1-14 and 1-16 alloys often listed in the information for long range stuff. If I patch higher on the bullet it will bump up to the top of the patch in 1-16 alloy, for me at least this alloy and the patch height one can control the amount of bullet upset and I think reduce the Nose set back. I wonder how 1-14 will do but am loathe to try it.

I honestly feel that I need more time doping conditions and studying the results and seting the windage closer to center, that means a lot more range time, I feel very little can be done to improve on this load.

Don Give it a whirl you never know what you might learn.
