I had the Taurus snub for a while and was pretty impressed with it. I am playing with .30 Super Carry currently, but might well go back to it. It is a very flexible cartridge that seems to punch...

Tom, I would also look for inspiration by researching the original military loads for the Potsdams. Is paper patching allowed in N-SSA skirmishes?

That makes sense. I should have specified all bullets of the same finished diameter just to remove another variable.

Okay, say I worked up accurate loads for a .44 Special with the RCBS Keith using a powder coated boolit. If I were to then shoot a group with the same boolit conventionally lubrisized and another...
I would buy the 00 size -- .33 inch. Don't give up any more energy or penetration than you must.
Good points, fellas. In this neck of the woods, the shotgun sports -- skeet, trap, clays -- seem to be holding their own. There are quite a few participants in NRL and other rimfire, same for various...
Leadhead, I still don't understand what happened to handgun silhouette. It is easier for me to form a theory of why cowboy action shooting has fizzled.
It's fun to have options. I'd rather have them than not. My 28-gauge CZ Bobwhite G2 has three-inch chambers, but all I am currently using it for is skeet, so no need.
As far as the three-inch 20...

Thanks for the intel, quilbilly. Hey, I have been to Quilcene and did some hiking in Scouts along the Dosewallips. Gorgeous country, if on the damp side. 8-)

With its WFN design, does this boolit remain accurate out to 200 yards and more? I have heard that WFNs tend to become less stable sooner in their flight than LFNs.
Nobade, I was thinking you used to be in New Mexico. I moved to Texas a couple of years ago from Alamogordo.
I plan to pursue this far enough to shoot the next match here on the first Saturday in...

15meter, that is a wonderful chain of ownership history!
Thanks fellas. I didn't know it. The only silhouette I shot -- 20 or more years ago -- was with scoped Contenders in 6.5 and 7mm TCU. Never ran a .44 for this, and when I hunted with a SBH I loaded...

Well phooey. Slugged the bore of this rifle made in 1902 and I get .303/.311. It came with 80 rounds of Wisconsin Cartridge bullets loaded with 180-grain .308 soft points over 32 grains of a ball...
Wondering what y'all are shooting from your .44 Magnums at the handgun silhouette matches. I might try giving this a whang with the CVA Scout 2 pistol.

Dagnab it. I was in Fredericksburg yesterday and forgot to stop at Texas Jack's.

Well Charlie, that is a mighty creative solution, I must say!

Well I ordered the Lee dies, so I guess I'll find out soon what size the expander ball is.
Forum: Leverguns
Doing further research it appears MostlyLeverGuns is right about barrel specs. I ran across a Terry Wieland article on the .303 in a 2019 issue of Handloader and he references an apparently...
Forum: Leverguns
Redhawk, I am assuming by your results that your rifle has the .300/.308 barrel specs? It is hard to pin down when and even if Savage went from .303/.311 barrels to .300/.308. Ken Waters reported...

The Lee mold is dropping a very nice bullet for me out of range scrap, running about 251 grains. I'll powder coat some of them and try them with 2400 and 5744.
