Thanks for the compliments and congratulations everyone! I am headed off to pick up the deer from the processor today. He called abd said they were ready. My grown kids and brother will have some...

FergusonTO35,

My load for the Ruger is the NOE 180gr. Flat Point which weighs in at 188 grains lubed and checked using my alloy and a Hornady gas check and is sized at .359". This bullet is seated...

Thanks guys, I have one tag left and the second gun season is on its way. I think the 45-70 is going with me this time or if I'm lazy, one of the handguns. The processor is going to send me a...

Spent the whole week last week trying to find a suitable candidate to try out the Ruger 77/44 on here in Ohio. Finally on Saturday morning, out of the fog at shortly after 8:00 I noticed movement. It...

Shoot-n-Lead,

What kind of accuracy are you getting out of that CVA? I was thinking about getting one and possibly reaming it out to a maximum. How do you like the gun overall?

Good job! That's the same bullet my ten year old popped his two doe's with on his first deer hunt in the youth season. That bullet out of a 77/357 at a little over 1500 fps did a splendid job. I on...

Just wanted to add a link to youtube with Avery's November 21st deer hunt. He was very excited to see it on the computer!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQFQ6B4ac6k and...

It's funny you should say that castalott, for several years he has had a fascination with the native americans. He reads about them and studies their pictures. I never really thought that much about...

Farmer,

The bullets are seated to the crimp groove and the little rifle will group into an inch at fifty yards all day long. Back at a hundred off of the bench and me on the trigger, I can eak 1...

Thank you to all. He came home and passed out on the couch! He's exhausted. Dad isn't too far from bed either. Been a long but very satisfying day! Everything is cleaned up and put away so after a...

Today was day one of the Ohio Youth Gun Season. My ten year old son has been practicing with the Ruger 77/357 and my NOE 180 grain bullets and today it all came together...twice! At 8:06 this morning...

Mike, This was my thought too. I sometimes worry a little too much possibly and I'm sure lawsuits have a bearing on the loads shown in most of the modern loading manuals the same as they had their...

I am looking at the manuals that I have and they are showing a maximum load at 13.5gr. of H110 with 180's but that's jacketed bullets. I did notice that Marshall Stanton of Beartooth listed a load at...

outdoorfan,

I do have Lil Gun but I was not getting nearly the accuracy as I did with H110 so I didn't drag the chronograph out to check the velocities I was getting with those loads. I have to...

Outdoorfan,
"I realize that it's probably too late in the game now to cast some flat points with that NOE mold, but that is the best option, imo."​

Not too late at all! I still have a supply of...

I have a Handi-Rifle that I reamed to Max but I can't seem to get it to shoot well with anything I try. The 180's out of it were just north of 2100 fps but not grouping nearly as well. I would like...

PM on the way.

Well, first off I would like to thank everyone for their thoughts on this matter. I think I'm going to go with the 180's. While shooting I noticed that the 160's printed only about 3 inches higher...

Thanks for everyones input. As far as my alloy goes, it is around 18 pounds of wheel weight metal with 2 pounds of pure lead added whatever that mix would be. I do know that the bullets expand at...

Hello everyone,

I am currently working up loads for deer season in my Ruger 77/357 and have come up with several that are fantastic on the accuracy arena easily holding well within an inch at 50...

It has shot everything I have ever tried in it well. The load that comes to mind that I had normally shot for fun was 9 grains of Unique under a cast 429421 that when sized and lubed weighed right at...

The gun and load worked well. The normal carry load that I use on duty, 230 grain Gold Dots, would have worked well too I'm sure but I went after a bit more speed and my handload grouped better than...

If I had to guess that is exactly what is happening. I have a Super 14 in .44 magnum as well and it's a tack driver.

This is last years deer. I didn't have any time to practice with the wheelguns but I had been shooting my duty gun a whole lot so I had a lot of confidence with it. Springfield 1911-A1 45 ACP with a...

Well...I really do appreciate all of the kind offers to help me out with my burden but at this point none of the grey gold belongs to me. If the time comes that he does wish to part with the whole...
