I’m shooting a 2-2-96 160 HP sized bore + .001” in .40 S&W 4” bbl. Load test 6.2 to 6.8 gr Silhouette left virtually zero leading after 30 rounds. 20 rounds 6.8 to 7 gr left a little leading. 7...

Annually, I average 23 daily carry rounds. 8 in my .45 and 11 in my .40. I carry 2 spare mags for the .45 and 1 spare mag for the .40. The .40 is my summer carry and .45 for winter carry because I...

Over the last few months I managed to acquire powder, primers, and 500 bore + .001” sized cast boolits. So, this week I’ve been doing load development for my 10yr old Walther PPQ .40 S&W. I...

I carry my Les Baer 1911 every day in the not Summer season. She has some pretty gnarly combat grips that require fabric between them and my belly. The Baer lives up to its accuracy guarantee and...

Well, I dont shoot either so you can take this with a grain of salt. I do shoot 285 gr SWC (approx. 15 BHN) out of a 22 yr old Taurus Raging Bull that has very close tolerances. A couple days ago I...

I think the Thailand grips are great. If you expect a perfect fit from aftermarket grips, you may need to temper your expectation with a dose of contemporary reality. Take a look at the thread...

I own a Taurus Model 444 that I bought in 1999. It is a great revolver. Locks up tight with ~ 0.002” clearance between cylinder and bore. It also sports double cylinder locks. Shoots ~ 3” groups...

I shoot 230 HP’s and FMJ’s in both my Baer Custom and my Para Tac4 double stack. Fyi; years ago I upgraded the mag and slide springs in my Para and polished the feed ramp. It has functioned...

Haven’t shot any swc but my Les Baer with both Baer and Chip McCormick mags feeds wide meplat 230 grain Federal Ammunition hollow points flawlessly. Hard for me to imagine having a problem with any...

If I was in your shoes, I would rent a reamer. If I did not want to ream, I would probably try .429 and .431 cast boolits.

You might look at GT Bullets. Its a long wait right now though.

I second Prairie Cowboy. Anybody slugged a new Henry 20 twist 44 mag bore? Would LOVE to know groove diameter.

Pretty sure my new-no-box A Bolt II Medallion 300 WSM has less recoil than your Weatherby Magnum. You’re in luck cuz its for sale over on GB. :drinks:

In addition to the side gate, Henry has sped up the twist rate on some models.

Thank you and others for your diligence. :drinks:

I have a PPQ M2 40 S&W that has a few hundred jacketed rounds down the tube. Very accurate. No problems. I prefer my guns clean.

The Chip McCormick 8 round mags are flawless.

Very cool video. John Moses Browning was indeed a prolific armaments genius as evidenced by the numerous mfrs of his designs and his enduring legacy in modern firearms. I love my Les Baer Custom...

I tend to agree with dverna. Right now I’m trying to sell a new-no-box A Bolt II Medallion 26” 300 WSM that I bought 6 years ago, a 1925 Le Fever 20 ga SbS, and a 1983 12 ga Winchester Ranger...

My 9th Edition Hornady Manual states;
250 gr XTP x Win 296 @ 21.4 gr to 25.1gr
x H110 @ 22 gr to 24.8 gr

300 gr XTP x Win 296 @ 16.7 gr to 19.5 gr
x H110 @...

Yup. Besides difficulty finding reloading components in an already tight market, not much to dislike about the 41 Mag. I’ve always had it in the back of my mind. Just haven’t come across the right...

Thank you for the kind words. I hope this thread may help some folks who have never done any bedding work. I’m afraid I don’t have much to offer in the realm of cast boolits. All I know about...

Thank you

I agree with this. Try seating depth tests at a midrange powder charge. I’ve had luck getting a factory Steyr 30-06 and a Win M70 300 WSM to sub-half moa with seating depth. These rifles like...

Its tough to buy right now. I’m looking for a new model Henry in 44 Mag myself.
