yep, he did. i'm supposed to use 265gr ranch dogs in 444 marlin and a 165gr ranch dog in my 30-40 krag. along with my 30-30 m94 i would have been alright for a couple of years. i am going to buy the bullets and then over the next couple of years i'll be able to actually cast my bullets and then it will take me a couple more years. but oh no, he(who happens to be my oldest son) goes and buys me for chistmas a new gun!!! i can't believe he did this to me:-D, me, why oh why me!!!:p doesn't he know not to bother me!!!:grin:
ok, we'll discuss the gun. but i can't say this enough, thank you josh. its a sb2 synthetic stock handi-rifle with a 22" barrel in 45-70.(pics will be next in a few days) thank you again josh. i might try the open sights or i might try a red dot. i think that the bullet will be 350gr ranch dog gc rnfl ( http://www.carolinacastbullets.com/Ranch_Dog_Outdoors.html ) . have i said thank you, josh. would trail boss be enough (what muzzle velocity does it have?)? or should i use rel 7 or varget(trapdoor loads)? the loads should be for deer at about 100 yards.
i have had a stroke so trying to find a load that doesn't kick to bad. can i tell my 20 year old son, thank you!!!:-D:D:happy dance::guntootsmiley:
