Makes sense that slow magnum pistol type powders under the big’uns gets the job done. I don’t need that much horsepower. Crisp circles cut from targets would be neat but doesn’t overwhelm my...

Also there’s a hollow base Svarog russian paradox slug. Ebag for $140ish so comparable

Those both look so cool! I am a little scared of 1043gn recoil though- the current 586 grain round ball is comfortable to shoot and the little dome of lead that shows above the crimp is...
Yes no hotrod recoil induced separation of arm from torso for me, plus while the marlin 512 has a beefy wrist to it’s stock and a decently thick barrel for a rifled scattergun it’s apparent that it...
Oh and Mega thanks I will spend more time assembling and checking the things you mentioned. I do all that with my own castings but am guilty of being lazy with storebought slugs unless I see a void...
Hey fellas
I’m at work and haven’t done anything with the gun other than lock it up when I got home from the 2nd range trip when I tested 27/28/29 grain Longshot loads, but I really appreciate and...
Longbow- it’s a rifled gun
Edit: more time to type now:
The Lee slugs in wads of all permutations were super fun, but slightly less accurate at 50 than my current roundball load is at 100. I...

8 shots aimed center head. Again, the two in the eye were sighters from the 338.
Despite there being different amounts of powder- two ‘groups’ here- we have more of a pattern than a...

5 shots 50 yards- don’t mind the magazine of 7.62 that got emptied into there or the two touching neck shots from my buddy zeroing his new 338 scope
Killer info! Thanks!
I just got back from the range. At 50 yards I was able to just about cloverleaf my groups with 27 and 28 grains of Longshot. At 100 yards I was still mostly hitting a...
Hey MegaSuper!
Thanks for the experienced words! Oops yes the Marlin is 1:28 twist- I apparently did not recall correctly.
I have read much about the deadly effectiveness on game of big bore...

It’s been awhile since I posted anything here, but now I find myself doing something stupid again and want to share. Extensive web searches tell me that I am not exactly alone...
Hey I’m also having magtech adventures but with different parameters. Your project has been done before. From my limited experience I would start with a 1300ish fps trap load of fast powder and...
My only experience with bears is reading all of Elmer Keith’s books about guiding grizzly hunts. He definitely had plenty of experience. The most memorable story was a large sow that his customer...
Nice video just watched it- seems the takeaway was since actual battle was done with AKs a small pistol for non armored targets inside 20 meters was called for.

I often front pocket carry carry a Polish p-64 walther type blowback 6+1 chambered in 9mm Mak. I’ve handloaded for it occasionally and cast for the fat 9mm it takes too. I find...

Oops double posted. Sorry please chime in on the other
And Thanks Randy

Oh and many thanks for the responses!
It’s 1:12 twist

Yeah it’s just gonna be a plinker load for hopefully hollywood quiet fun lever action shooting. And if I’m powdercoating and sizing a little big like 309 or 310 depending on slugging the barrel I...

I am waiting on a tax stamp for a can and playing with my lathe. I have a beat up savage 99 that I got with a nice 1980s scope, beat up ugly wood, and a chamber that loves start...

So since I have Roger's address it was easy to find his phone # and call him. He said he had a confrontation on here that went too far and even though he feels justified in whatever he said they were...
