I think your bullet did what it was supposed to. You say the deer were moving faster than walking speed, so they were probably already spooked, if they're not calm all bets are off as to how they...

Way to go! Looks like a nice sized one. Hope I find one tomorrow.

For a mountain buck, that's definitely a trophy! Congrats. Were you on Gameland?

Richbug, good for you and your boys! My boy didn't go this year, it's his first year of college. He plans to get out Sat.
Bosterr, it stopped raining on me when it changed to sleet, then snow for...

All I got was wet!
I bought a pre 64 Win 30-30 late last year, then burnt a bunch of powder finding what load it liked. I settled on a moderate book load of 3031 with my Lee 150 FP.
Took it...

That does look like a violent hit.
I haven't chrony'd mine, but I think it's in the 1300 fps range. I use pure with a bit of tin. That's the way this boolit worked since forever, I didn't see any...

nice job on the deer. That's a good lookin rifle too.

+1 for bullet/wound pics. I use that boolit too, but at trapdoor levels. Never recovered one yet.

Congrats! That is a doozy! Glad I didn't have to drag it.

Did that gun hang in a bar? Near a fireplace? might have years worth of smoke and cooking grease layered onto it.

I had a good time! I shot about 25 rounds through the p14, 10 from the Carcano, and another 25 out of the Mosin Nagant. Rang the gong at 330yds with the Mosin a few times (2 outa 5). Mostly I just...
Forum: Military Rifles
Thought Id go out to the range tomorrow and take my Mosin, Carcano, a P14, and a couple of 1911's. The P14 could have seen action then, but the rest of mine are all too new. Good excuse to go shoot...

No trouble with the Lee 185 for me. Use it in a P14 that slugged .313. Copper checks and LLA lube. I haven't tried hot loads, a few tenths over starting load with IMR 4227 is accurate and deadly on...
You'll really enjoy shooting it, mine is probably the most accurate pistol I own! I use a 1200 fps load with the Lee 125rf and Acc#7 powder.
I've got a mixture of super, super comp, and 38TJ brass and my gun will run with all of it, but I stick with the Super for the most part.
Sorry I can't answer. There used to be a Ruger trigger tutorial on the web, but it may not be available anymore. Look for GP100 Book of Knowledge.
Mine has stock springs, couple thousand rounds in...
I have some of the older CCI SPM primers and they have an orange compound (red and silver box), but the newer ones (blue box) have the same looking yellow compound as the regular small pistol.
I know how you feel!
I've had 2 in the last 25 years. First one was a 38 special snubby and the boolit stuck about half way down the barrel. The front of the cylinder, the barrel and boolit base...

I use that Lee mold and size .358 for my super. Shoots better than I can hold!

I use a 50/50 mix of WW and range scrap for both 30-30 and 303 British. No leading in either rifle shooting at speeds up to 2100 fps.
I guess I've got big hands, 2xl in most gloves. I have Pachmayr grips on most of my guns, at least on the ones where I've changed grips! I've tried Hogues a couple of times but ended up taking them...
I thought Rem 1 1/2 primers were not to be used in high pressure cartridges. I bought a brick of them a few years ago and used them in 38 target loads.
I use the 358156 and the Lee 158 gcswc from my GP100. Both cast from range scrap sized .358 and using BLL. I used to use a stiff charge of 2400 but have recently switched to ACC#9, they run just as...
