That’s awesome. Can’t wait to hear the results.

What loads are you trying in the 25-06, 257 Roberts, 7x57, and 358 Winchester?
I’m always curious.

Nosler recommends 2.245” for the 120gr ballistic tips. The reason I bring this up is because of the horizontal stringing in that group with the ballistic tips. A lot of times horizontal like that can...
Work gets in the way of so much fun stuff.

Looks like the vmax was trying to be ok. I’m curious what seating depth you were using on the 120gr ballistic tip?
The weather is supposed to be beautiful Sunday.

Wow! That is a huge discrepancy. I wonder what the volume difference was between the lightest and heaviest?

Sounds like a cool old rifle. Ive had a few barrels set back through the years. Really helps those eroded throats. Most times I just rebarrel though.
Ive only weighed brass one time. When I was...
That is really cool!

My rifle still isn’t back from the gunsmith yet. I’m going to give him a call next week and see where he is at. Ive got my scope, rings, dies, brass, bullets, and one box of loaded ammo ready to go. ...
Yup. DFW is part of North Texas. Are you from around here somewhere Harter?

I took the scope off and checked all the base screws to make sure none had come loose, like the directions say. All the screws were good to go, I can’t imagine any coming loose with the amount of...
You should get some good results with those. I really like benchmark.

Excellent. I’m looking forward to hearing about it. What powders are you going to try?

The scope rail is a weigand no drill and tap mount. I can put the redhawk back to its original configuration in 5 minutes if I need be.

That’s a great looking rig. Ive got a mess of 240gr XTP’s that I’m going to work up a hunting load with, after I find a decent practice load.

I have an old Ruger Redhawk 44 magnum that I picked up used about 15 years ago. Never shot it, so I was thinking about selling it. My kids convinced me to keep it and put a scope on it. ...
I always love when you post here, your stuff is very interesting and I love reading it. Is your arisaka stock or sporterized?

I have a 22” 1-8” twist Grendel. I’ve had excellent results with Barnes 100gr TTSX @2800fps, and Hornady 123gr SST @2550fps. I haven’t shot anything but paper with these loads but they are very...
I’ve been playing around with some 44 magnum loads, with xtreme 240gr RNFP, for a redhawk that I just put a scope on. So far the best was 6” at 50yds with 9.8gr unique. My seating stem was marking...
I love lever action rifles, my 45/70 is a Marlin 1895G (ported 18.5” barrel), I got it in 1998, the first year Marlin introduced that model. My 44magnum is a Winchester 94 angle eject. Both are...
Not much going on here. I finished prepping all my 7.5x55 PPU brass.
Cleaned and polished about 1600 9mm brass. Loaded up a couple 9mm test loads with 115gr Rainier HP and ramshot zip.
