"...the civil libertarians and rationalists who are ever on the alert to oppose tyranny "failed to take into account man's almost infinite appetite for distractions." In 1984, Orwell added, people are controlled by inflicting pain. In Brave New World, they are controlled by inflicting pleasure. In short, Orwell feared that what we fear will ruin us. Huxley feared that what we desire will ruin us. This book is about the possibility that Huxley, not Orwell, was right.” -N.Postman
If I can get close that would be great. I'm shooting for five inches at 100 yards. I really don't gun hunt that much as I'm a die hard, hardcore bowhunter, but chasing these pigs around the woods with an arrow gets old.
When I do gun hunt, I want these results (or close to it).
I just pulled the red plastic tip out of the 300 gr XTP's. I'll fill in the cavity with solder to see how much that will increase the weight
So I've filled the cavities with solder. The weight increased by roughly 10 gr. the lightest weighting 309.11 and the heaviest weighing at 311.56. I'll go back and match them up to almost exact. We have an ice storm here in I hit nothing else to do. Once I load a few, I'll shoot them in some water jugs to look at the expansion.
Been awhile since I've posted. Just loaded up three batches of the following using Fiocchi clear hulls and 350 XTP:
6 rds with 30 grs of 800X
6 rds of 33 grs of Longshot
6 rds of 40 grs of Blue Dot
Gonna work up some lee slugs this evening. Hoping to hit the range this weekend.
Ok, just loaded up 12 Keman hulls, Rio primers, and 34 gr of long shot pushing a 1 oz slug.
I loaded 12 to shoot 3 from my rifled barrel at 50 yards and three at 100 yards.
The other 6 is the same shoot sequence but through my smooth bore.
Next 12 will be Herco or Unqiue.
Anything with the Lee and 800X & Longshot with AA12 wads?
So far you're doing some good work, Thanks
I had a ton of data and even a few loads that I was consistently getting 5 inch groups at 100 yards but I left my data book on the back of my truck and it rained. I'm starting all over.
Loaded a bunch of slugs from what I can remember. I also bought a hammerhead slug mold with the sabots to go with it that I'll test as well. Hoping to get out this weekend. I'm almost tagged out on deer and we're in the two week duck hunting split so I got plenty of time.
AW man! The suspense is killing me! Did you lose interest in this project?
I'm the gun totin, meat eatin', BIBLE readin', redneck conservative your mother always warned you about.

I just picked up 2lbs of HS-6 to try. I'll see how it compares to the Tightgroup success I had. Lee data shows it go 1500fps. Tightgroup was close to 1300fps
I loaded some aa hulls with 40 grains blue dot and winchester white wad ,1 20g hard card and a lee 1 oz slug hope to shoot tomorrow
40 grains blue dot crimped ok
I started with 47g Blue dot and think i wrecked some brain cells from the recoil. I clearly missed the target. Let us know how the 40g works. I sm seriously pondering start ing anew at about 32 ish grains.
