I killed 5 whitetail does in a couple years (resticted to shotgun in populated valleys) with the 525 and 3", 12ga hulls. I got 3" group at 50yds, 6" at 100yds. Velocity above 1500fps, load from the...

I'm currently taking chemo for my 6th and 7th cancers.
At age 37 in 1977, they removed 1/2 my large intestine, appendix and 18 lymph nodes followed by a year of chemo. Then, they removed polyps, if...

Omega, thank you. My stupid mistake, I guess.

No, they were not PM messages either to or from me. And, they are not in my PM box now.
I read the responses by clicking the link in the e-mail and responding to them and both then appeared under my...

What rifle/sights? Two. Rem 700, Weatherby Vanguard. Nikon 4x and Nikon 3x9.
What load are you using? Generally, Lyman loads for that weight bullet, Red Dot, Green Dot, SR 4759, 2400,...

I've got this bullet shooting 2"-4" groups at 100 yds.
For me, that's good enough for a short range plinker.
Has anyone developed more accuracy at 100 yds with this bullet and caliber?
Thanks for...

So far, I'm getting 2-4" 5 shot groups at 100 yds. which, for me, is OK for a short range plinking round.
Has anyone developed a load for that boolit in that caliber that does better at 100 yds.?...

Of your choices, IC.
But, you might try a rifled choke tube for possible accuracy improvement. I use one on a Rem 870.

Started with the '06, and at age 77 guess I'll leave with 'em.

I shot CBA matches for several years using Rem 700 30-06. Accuracy was noticeably poorer if I did not get the "gold outa the grooves". In fact, I know that rifle was significantly more accurate with...

Remington Model 8 in .35 Rem.In 1954, on a deer hunt with relatives, an Uncle had that rifle and shot a deer. He was kidded a lot with the idea that, "Hell with that rifle the 'ole man just threw out...

I know several Lyman reloading manuals have listed a published load with pressure & velocity.
Then, in a following table, they changed the brass, bullet and primer one at a time showing the...

I have a 1966 Herters Manual with .270 and '06 Hi Vel (no number follows) data.
If you want, give me the bullet weight and I'll type it.

"if the slug is in the 1 to 1 5/8 ounce range it can be loaded the same as my bird and buck shot loads for the 10 ."
My Lyman 525 slug weighs 1 3/16 ounces.

I had reservations but it works very well in all applications.
Occasionally, I cross check it with a beam scale and no problems.

I called or e-mailed them - can't remember which - and they told me the 525 gr. Lyman Sabot Slug had a B.C. of...
