So I'm watching this flick a few months ago [can't remember the name of it, it left such an impression on me] about this former military sniper hired to consult with the feds in a sham operation to...
I like H4895, H4198, AA5744, and of course Unique in my Whelen. Better yet, my Whelen likes these powders in it.

Yep, been down this road too. My curse was a Savage 110 in .243 Winchester. I spent several months trying to get it to shoot consistently. One day it would punch 1/2" groups, the next day groups...

The 300 grainers may in fact do a bit better, but it is possible that they may do worse in that particular rifle with the 1:32 twist rate. Each barrel has its own characteristics and some will not...

Really all that is needed for those monster-sized whitetails [read as 100-200lbs] that reside in my neck of the woods is any 200-255 grain mold that will cast an honest .452" slug to fit in the sabot...

Reducing powder charges for some of those listed can get to be a bit tricky...hang-fires, pressure spikes, etc. It may be good advice to stay with those powders that have a history of working safely...
Soud advice from BABore. Just remember at that velocity to snug that Marlin tightly in the shoulder crevice or be prepared to vist the hospital for facial reconstruction surgery.
Does anyone happen to have a pet load for this cartridge using that powder with a cast 225 grain boolit? Starting loads around 1500fps and maximum of about 2000fps is what I am trying to find. The...
I realize that this thread in no way concerns the use of boolits, but do hope I will be forgiven.
I recently picked up a Beretta 92FS in used condition and, of course, with no manual. I have...

A couple of years ago I did some testing with the Lee C309-150-RN/FP boolit cast of pure. Taking into consideration this is a gas checked boolit, I found that accuracy went south quickly after 1500...

My 2 cents.....get the BC and pocket the difference for a future purchase of whatever YOU want. Yeah, the H&R's do have a few issues with breaking open under recoil, but this can be eliminated by...
I agree with mdi. You may be in a pickle here. Try a few, because it may work great, but if not, look for a 9MM owner to trade them too. In my often errant opinion, heavy for caliber boolits seem...
I finally got a chance to chrono some loads I've been working on for a few rifles and figured I'd list the rusults;

Recently picked up an Ithaca M87 Featherlite Deerslayer 12 ga. I like the gun, but the trigger pull is somewhere between Hulk Hogan's bench press max and the torque on a rope from a falling piano. ...

No experience with hogs vs. 45 here, but I have had good luck with the Lee C452-300-FP over 8 grains Unique in my BH and Winny 45. Now that is a WIDE meplat and very accurate in both guns. Like I...

Small boolit, large sabot, big-bore revolver.....I'm thinking baby powder!

Lee still makes a hollow base design mold for 45 cal muzzleloaders. It is a 285 grain short nose design that may work in the situation if the alloy is fairly soft. Yes, the .454" can be sized down...

I picked up a Spanish Mauser rifle with 'FABRICA DE ARMAS 1932' and a crest of a crown on the forward ring. It is 7mm Mauser, but I have no idea of the model. Can you help?

10-13 grains Red Dot or same charge of Unique will do well in the MN. I use them all the time and have too much fun. The Lee C312-185 mold works well for this caliber if you do a "beagle" job on...

1] The moulds are the ones that cast them.
2] The weights are exactly how much they weigh.
3] The lube is the kind that is in the grooves.
