I recall that the 'reason' for the .30 Super was to add a few rounds to the capacity of the mini 9's with the same performance? Availability and cost of ammo probably override that extra shot or...

Most of my hunting has been above 9000-9500 feet elevation, that thin air allows a .45 cal bullet at 2200 fps to fly surprisingly flat. Of course you must PRACTICE at the longer ranges with the...

I can't say I know any quilters, but in the Wally World sewing department, they do have POLYESTER(Dacron) batting in sheets/rolls that can be cut into strips. Cotton might start a fire in dry...

I have shot at least a dozen elk and a moose with 300 grain bullets out of my 1895 Marlin 45-70 and never found a reason to use a heavier bullet. I started with the RCBS 45-300-FN gas checked and...

I also use the quilting sheets, you can cut 1/2"-1" strips, then cut-off whatever length works best for you. By weight 1-2 grains works for me, depending on cartridge. I haven tried filler under 30...

One of the newer Browning 1895's would be a good choice, BLR's are OK at the range and in/on a sit-there deer stand, not so much in a saddle scabbard in the high country(CO, WY). I have a Savage 99...

My pre-safety Marlin 1894 and a Winchester 94 (Canadian) in 44 Mag both cycle the 429421 and other semi-wadcutters without problem.

When I say zero, it is not about getting the pointer to line up when the jaw is closed or zeroing to a standard gauge or block. When using something like the Hornady gauge to check cartridge...

I have a Mitutoyo digital(works well) and several dial calipers, the dial calipers are very consistent, from very good to less expensive, all work well. I had a cheap digital but found it...

There is 22-250 at Graf's, Powder Valley and Midwayusa has some high dollar stuff, so does Gunbroker. 6mm Creedmoor and 22 Creedmoor are also out there. I would first size in the 22-250 SEATING...

I am using 20 gr A2200, CCI200, with a 185gr bullet in the 300 Savage. It shoots under 2" at 100 yards, but I have not done any load refinement. Up or down a grain or two, maybe a hotter primer...

TiteGroup, Universal for the soft stuff, 4227, Reloder 7, and 5744 for moderate loads, LeverEvolution, Accurate 2015 for top end.

A Faraday cage provides protection from EMP bursts. Many, many Faraday cages of one sort or another out there, even Amazon lists them. If you look up EMP Protection or Faraday cage, you can find...

I have the RCBS 45-300 FN mold that I bought very long ago (80's?), Midwayusa carries it, I am using a 6 cavity Lee - TLC-460-300-RF - purchased from RanchDog long ago but no longer available. ...

Unless you are shooting long range, like Black Powder Silhouette or hunting bison, bullets heavier than 300-350 grains or so, just add recoil and use more lead. I have used the 300 grain RCBS flat...

I have the RCBS 30-180 FN(2 cavity) and an NOE 311-195 FN(5 cavity, copied the RCBS) that both work very well in my Marlin 30-30's. I have a Lyman 311041, an old single cavity but it throws...

Not A Hawk, but I have used Barnes ORIGINALS, a pure copper, pure lead bullet with construction similar to the Hawk,with a 'hole' in the base. In my Marlin 1895 45-70, killed many elk with 300 grain...

Mostly keeping the mold and sprue plate hot, maybe a little extra tin(?), I use a Lyman or RCBS dipper held tight to the sprue hole then inverted with a good sized sprue for the little bullets and...

Ramshot TAC works in the 30-30 and 45-70 and is usually available, burning rate simlilar to H4895, as a 'NEWER' generation ball/spherical powder it does burn much cleaner than most ball powders. ...

I am up to 35 grains LeverEvolution under the Matt's .323 185 grain FlatPoint GasCheck (RCBS or Accurate 180A?) in a Starline case, Federal 210M primers. Using a Marlin 336A 24" with Nikon 4-16, 15...

While I commented on hunting and loading the .444, I have several Marlins with the Williams WGRS Sight, it works well and slides in and out of a saddle scabbard better than than my steel Lyman 66LA. ...

Depends where and when, 1870's to early 1900's, probably the 44-40 AND the 45-70, lotsa Trapdoors and cheap Gov't ammo, in the timbered east of the Mississippi, south of the Ohio Rivers, maybe the...

I've used H4831 in the 300 Win Mag, 270, and 243 with jacketed for hunting. A case full in the 45-70, 32 Special or 30-30 acts a lot like black powder without the cleanup. Also works in the 308 Win...
