I've seen 4895 work with 140 jacketed in a 1896 Swede Mauser it was accurate but ssllloooowww . Generally I reach for nothing faster than 4350 in the 6.5x55 . Heavier the bullet the slower the speed...

I feel that if loads are worked up carefully & according to published data from bullet / powder companies I'll be OK . Some guns like warmer loads & some don't . If accuracy aint there Mach 2 won't...

No it's a 1973 vintage Rem 700 BDL . Now it's wearing a 24" S/S mag profile 1 in 10" . Some of the new stuff claims more speed @ same or less pressure . Now rather or not they can deliver with...

If you were going to buy a new bolt action in 270 Win which would you pick ? And why over the rest ?
A) CZ 557
B) Browning X - bolt
C) Win 70
D ) Weatherby Vanguard S2 / Howa 1500
E) Tikka T3X
Unlike others 41 mag throats & bores are pretty much uniform be it handgun or rifle .

I'm sure much of this depends on caliber / alloy / intended range & game . Let me state what I wish to do & let you gents tell me what you think about how to get there . My primary game is feral hogs...
Formula I was looking for is : meplat in inches X velocity in fps divided by 4 . The only concerns I had was pushing them too hard . Not going to be a problem in 357 mag or 41 mag . 357 Max & 44 mag...
Am in the process of gather & loading for some new rifles . All are in magnum pistol calibers ie 357 mag & max , 41 mag & 44 mag . The 41 is a Henry BBS , rest are T/C Encores with MGM 20” barrels ....

Mr. Flintstone just remember light & fast will destroy meat . I believe you'll find that a 180 @ 1700 will be less destructive than a 140 @ 2000 .
Forum: Leverguns
If you go with cast use a gaschecked bullet . Biggest problem with leverguns is coal with heavier bullets & rather or not a SWC will feed . Thats why most use RNFP or LBT style WFN . I do not have a...
At one time I had 3 Model 58's & 3 Model 57's & a 6 1/2 RBH . The Smiths are gone but the Ruger is still here .

Good man . Enjoyed dealing with him . Smooth transaction . Thanks , Andy
For a duty gun with full pressure loads some do use 18.5 RS . I prefer to fit a small radius FPS & use a 16 RS . All that said my BE wadcutter guns these days have slide mounted 30mm UD & I use a 10...

I shoot 2700 ( Bullseye ) . Most of us prefer the FB over the BB . Let your barrel determine your OAL / crimp . As stated above it's easier to measure base to shoulder for repeatable results . I've...

My 2 concerns with 16 to 1 were mainly for use in the 357 Max . In the 44 mag I believe it will work quite well . As I stated in my original post my use will be hogs not deer . Expansion is great as...

Centershot good point . Forgot that about needing antimony / arsenic to harden . I believe with the velocity of the Max penetration with these bullets either the 180 or 200 WFN will not be a problem...

+1 on angled & Kowa . Bird watchers are very serious about their optics . Look thru what you're considering outdoors in differing light conditions .

Grab it while you can , like before someone else gets it . If I lucked up on some , along with 4756 I'd buy all I could especially at a fair price .
