    I use the Ranch Dog 359-190-FNGC out of my .357 Max at a shade over 2000 fps with AA1680 for Iowa's late muzzleloader season when they also let us use pistols. I have yet to catch one in an Iowa...

    I used the Speer 180 gr. FNSP out of my .350 Rem Mag XP-100 this year on a big Iowa whitetail doe at 189 yds. 2400 fps at the muzzle. Perfect performance. Daughter used it out of the .357 Max on a...

    Why not just load it up with a WFNGC in the 190-200 gr. range? That's what I started out using in my .357 Max with 16.5" barrel and it works dandy. No expansion needed. Just drills a nice hole...

    You took the words right off of my fingers. Then again, I haven't met a gun with synthetics as a primary component that I think is pretty. Give me a nice wood and deep blue any day over the latest...

    Remington M700 BDL Custom Deluxe .30-06 from the 1970s in pristine condition. Beautiful rifle. Don't really need it. But decided I wanted to own it.

    I didn't own a chronograph until about a decade ago. Which means I was handloading for two decades without a chronograph and relying on manuals alone - plus shooting targets at actual range to...

    Same here. I got into the single shot game in 2002 when I moved to Iowa from South Dakota and the geniuses setting regs here didn't (don't) permit the use of rifles for deer hunting. But I could...

    PS - the .30-40 Krag BARELY fits the 44 1/2 action because of case length and diameter in relation to the breech block - the rim just barely fits past the top of the breech block. But it works.

    I've killed a bunch of Iowa whitetails with the Ranch Dog 359-190-RFGC out of a .357 Maximum, ballistically a basic twin to the .35 Rem. My load is pushing them out at 2000 fps from an 18" MGM...

    First up is a K6 60-B El Paso, TX manufacturer. This is a take-off from an Encore barrel I traded into and it has an interesting reticle that...

    WTB - Lyman M die for .350 Rem Mag

    Long shot here, but I'm looking for a Lyman M die for a .35 Whelen/.358 Win/.350 Rem Mag w/expander mandrel OR even just the mandrel. I have an M2 die, but no expander for .35 caliber. Thank you!...

    I have an original 44 1/2 frame that CPA built me a .30-40 Krag barrel for. It is definitely maximum diameter for loading cartridges.

    I use the Ranch Dog 359-190-RFGCTL out of a .357 Max at 2000 fps. It's fantastic on whitetails and I haven't caught one in a deer yet, from 70-225 yards.

    Yes - the straight expansion is what I'm looking for. I've got a short M die body and I assumed the .350 Rem Mag was to wide in diameter for it. Maybe I just need the mandrel? I'll have to go down...
