I use 20grn of 4227 with a 255grn RNFP for all my 45 Colt loads. I do however shoot this in a Ruger Blackhawk which can handle Ruger only loads. I don't know if that is a Ruger only load or not but...

The bullet you showed is my all time favorite plane base bullet for 45 Colt. I literally shoot thousands of them a year. They work great from hard cast to soft cast and they work in my lever actions...

what are your bullets from that mold sizing at out of the mold? My bfr doesn't like anything under .459

What flounderman said is how I cut it off the bone. Then I grind it all, wrap it in packages and toss it in the freezer for three months which will kill all but one strain of trichinosis. Then I take...

If you put the meat in a container of water and allow it to freeze into a small block and then put the frozen block into a larger container of water and freeze that, and then do it one last time(3...

Sweet! Was that load from published data or just worked up from a lesser load?

I love reading your small game handgun posts. Well done!

Definitely post back what happens when you try the next loads with it. I'd like to see where 3031 tightens up at for you, because even though my groups with it at 38.5 are good, I'm never opposed to...

Seems like yours doesn't like that load as much as mine does then, every gun is different for sure. You were using same alloy, mold, lube, gas check etc? or just a 405grn cast bullet over 38.5grn of...

I use air cooled 50/50 == 50% COWW / 50% pure lead for all my hunting bullets in any given caliber. I might target shoot with a different alloy sometimes but that is what I hunt with and it has never...

Well done!

I got my "B" tag(Antlerless whitetail) filled this year with the 45-70 BFR as well. I used a 50/50 405grn bullet going 1250fps and hit it in the chest at 50 yards with a Burris 4x as...

If it's just me eating or I am smoking them I leave them in. When you smoke pike the Y bones can easily be pulled out with no meat on them when you are eating it. That's my favorite way to eat pike....

I bone them and grind it but we get 6 - 8 deer per year (2 for each person) in my family between myself, my son, my GF and her kid. The original recipe here sounds good and so does the one the other...

Cool. I have been thinking about trying to get over for a week for those hunts but I'm not sure if I will be able to swing it with ice fishing season already upon us.

Are you guys going to do the shoulder hunts this winter to try and get her a cow elk?

Man I have been hunting white tail for 28 years now and I get a lot of deer but even I have days like that.

Sometimes you go to your best areas and they just aren't there or it's too crunchy and...

I use a lyman 4500 lube sizer set to only go down as far as the first groove to set the gas check and lube one groove for all the bullets I am going to do that way. Then I back off the pressure on it...

My Guide Gun is the same as yours internal diameter wise and I shoot a .458 or .459 bullet out of it depending on which bullet type I am using. For some reason mine seems to like the 405s at .459 and...

Wow! She's beautiful, and the bucks not bad either :) Well done.

Water dropped clip on wheel weights will go completely through a large black bear end to end(in the chest and out the rear ham) from a 454 Casull. I did that at 40 yards with a 2.5" 454 Casull when I...

I use this one from Accurate:

....and this is why. This picture was taken by a friend about a half mile from where I...

If she is anything like my ex's "gun for wife" would the best trade ever!

Take the shot. When I lived in Oregon many years ago I found the best way to turkey hunt there was to go sit on an exit route for the birds on a weekend and not make a sound. Every novice caller and...

Well done!

Do you have one of those game ear things that acts as earplugs over a certain noise level in your ears? If you do, how do you like it and which one is it?

Sorry I have never used that powder at all so I can't help you there but I did fill my doe tag this year with my current load for the 45-70 BFR. One shot dropped it like a hammer at 50-ish yards.
