Kungfustyle,
Thank you so much for that info.
That gives me a good starting point. I am also using 30-06 brass and I have a couple of bottles of H4895. Hopefully get to it sometime this Spring.

Whole Bunches,
I apologize on getting back to you so late. Been out of town for work and just catching up. The meplat on the MP 8mm 180 gr Hunter is approx .150

I got that same mold. I haven’t cast with it yet though. Done any load development for yours yet? I would sure be interested in what what you have come up with.

If I remember correctly, Hodgdon was about to come out with a very competitive powder, Triple 8.
And then right before they brought it to market, Hodgdon bought Western Powders, who made Blackhorn...

I have the only gun my Dad had for my life. Dad has Alzheimer’s and it turned him from a sweet likable guy into a mean, belligerent jerk. After he threatened to kill my BIL I went and got his pistol....

My nephew has killed quite a few hogs with his AR in 5.56. The last week of deer season him and his buddy were driving down to the stand and came upon a sounder of pigs.They jumped out of the truck...

I still shop at Cabelas. I live 5 minutes away from one. Just bought a brick of Federal Large Rifle Magnum primers there last week for $85. Which is higher than they should be but way cheaper than I...

I did a Limbsave grind to fit on my Marlin 36. It had been cut down before I got it and had an old red shotgun pad that was coming apart and was hard as a rock. Put blue tape over the wood and used a...

I have a hunting buddy that has a roofing company. I keep asking him what he does with the lead boot's and he keeps saying he will keep them for me but he always forgets. The other day he bought his...

I am the same way. I bought 1000 SPP primers today from Midway for $79.00 and didn’t think twice about it.
I haven’t seen any in a year and I am down to 1500. Good on all of my other primers for a...

I picked up a RH 4" 45 Colt the other day in like new condition for $950 so they are out there in your price range. Found a Guides Choice chest holster in unused condition that fits a 4 inch RH for...

I live in McKinney, Tx.
Be happy to help. Let me know what you need.

That one has been on my list for a few years now. I was looking for one and I came across a SS Bisley Blackhawk 45 Colt/ 45 ACP and spent my money on that instead. I don't regret that purchase...

I was at Cabela's the other day and we were looking at an 1858 Remington New Army Pietta. I was thinking about buying it for my son, who was looking at it and really wanting it. While talking to the...

And you can fire 44-40 in a 45 Colt. How do I know? Why I did it myself just the other day. Several years ago I bought some ammo from a guy at a gun show that makes ammo for CAS shoots. It is all new...

I have a 1947 model 36 that is in about the same condition and I think it is beautiful. Action is as smooth as glass and it shoots 2 inch groups at 100 yards, which is as good as I can do with open...

Midway has the Barnes 6.5 mm 120 gr
TTSX in stock. That is the only 6.5 mm bullet on Ammoseek that I would load for my Grendel.

Here in Texas, the guys that kill hogs for a living mostly shoot the 6.5 grendel or the 6.8 spc II.
There ain’t much difference between the 2 within 300 yards. The 6.5 grendel does better at longer...

I am gonna have to go some myself. My son has a bicycle with a motor on it that the carb is all gunked up. Will give the B12 a try on that.

I put the the Warren Outdoors One Hole rear sight on my SS Blackhawk Bisley .45 Colt along with an optical green front sight. Have not been to the range to sight it in since Covid hit. I have got to...
