There's some lighter loads here.

My 6.5" gun had a few finish issues but nowhere near as bad as those, the worst of which was inside the frame window. I sold it when the shorter barreled guns were released.

my 4 5/8" gun is much...

If you are going to toy with BP and primarily load smokeless powder I recommend the 500. I'm not sure how much BP you can get in there maybe 65 grains but it will certainly be safer than Smokeless...

Probably need a heavier bullet 260 grains or so.

It's just held on with a screw so it's likely the screw loosened and it fell off during recoil. Many years ago I bought a freedom arms 454 and the first shot out of the box the ejector rod housing...

That's so the bad guy will know you have the sights lined up on him! its a Feature!


I like a .357 for woods bumming when Bears are not present That's what I carry while Snow Shoeing. If I'm...

I would think it will have enough lube in that short barrel. I shot a few of those in my Spencer when I had it and they worked okay though a Little heavy.

I've been using 325 grain Hornady factory ammo and a couple of hand loads, 9.3 grains of unique and 13-14 grains of HS6 and Montana bullet works bullets. Recoil is in my opinion lighter than the 6.5"...

Handling and balance are great, accuracy on par with my previous 6.5" model.

HS-6 13-14 grains pushes 330 grain to 400 grain bullets right in the 1100 FPS category. I'll keep some unique around but HS6 is now my go to powder.

Is it a double rifle? For carrying around and hunting a groove diameter billet may be a better choice since it will be a tighter fit in the case.

I'm by by far bo expert but would think the...

I picked up a couple of boxes of this ammo a few years back to go with my model 15, I can post some pics later. I carried it daily in the AF and when we qualified you could tell it was definitely...

Lead pot thanks for the in depth follow up reply, I get the paper rings in my rifle(c. Sharps 50 2.5). I've shot a few really good groups and a lot of mediocre ones with PP bullets. Still having fun...

There is a line about a third of the way up the bullet from the base, is that where the little ring of paper comes from?

I'm pretty sure Elmer Keith wrote about loading FMJ bullets backwards for use on game. I doubt swapping ends with a 150 grain FMJ in a 30-06 would make much difference pressure wise.

What handgun or rifle do you have, it makes a big difference with regards to what loads you use.

I vote Winchester but I think the Marlin is a better rifle. My boys each have 30/30's both set up as scout rifles, one a Marlin 336 and the other a Winchester 94. The Winchester just feels better to...

I saw a new 1895 model, it looked really nice.

The finish seemed more like a coating than bluing and from the description the wood stock is coated.

check out this topic in this very forum, lots of deer taken with 44 special and similar loads.

I bet he cases are that way due to durability, the originals were me at to be fired and tossed on the battlefield. They may have been kept but I bet was rare.

i hate to ask but have you tried drop...

Glock 19 with Winchester 127 grain +p+ HPs, sometimes a SW trr8 357 with Remington 125 HPs and rarely an FN 5.7 with 40 grain FN factory ammo.

Here's a group I shot a week or so ago.168198
200 yards c. Sharps 50/90, BACO 600 grain PP .492 bullet, 1 Walters .060 wad and 100 grains of 2f goex.
I blame the stringing on the blade front sight.

Ayone using one of these moulds? I like the looks of the Gibbs in .494 but would like to try a few before I buy the mould.

I would buy 25-50 bullets from someone if they would be willing to sell!...

checkered grips!
