Did you ever get to try it out?

Yes I have already had it out. I haven't shot anything with it yet.

I made a batch of deer curry from this doe last night. It was awesome.

Matt shot a nice plump doe with his 260 Encore Friday. 81 yards with a 125 grain Partition.

To start from the beginning I had one of my hair brain ideas to use modern technology to make the 400 relevant. The problem with the 400 was it wouldn't match a 10mm once bullets weight exceeds 155 grains. The 10mm operates at higher pressure. The 400 has higher case capacity but SAAMI pressure...

Thanksgiving morning I shot a nice fat 8pt with my 450 Marlin Encore. No tracking involved.

Those are some nice rigs!

The .45 Super is certainly capable. The 255 grain hard cast loads penetrate nearly as deep as the hot 10mm and leave a bigger hole while doing it.

LW slide with a Storm Lake G24 barrel fit to the slide. Timney trigger. Dawson sights but I just switched them out for TAG Precision sights.

Update on the .416. Scope is mounted. I could only get 3 rings on it. If I catch it slipping I will mill another slot on the base and add a ring. It is a blast to shoot. Literally. It’s like a stick of dynamite going off right in front of you. I am trying to decide which bullet to sight it in...

I am a Partition lover. 125 gains from your list. My 260 handgun has a 1:8 twist barrel. I shoot 140 grain Partitions in it and it is a deer killing machine. I hasn't shot a group over .5" at 100 yards with the 140 over H4831SC.

I have been emailing back and forth with DR. Larry Rogers AKA WV Hitman. If you aren't familiar with him he is one of the most well know handgun hunters in the world. He said in one of the emails that he ran Ultradot sights on several of his big boomers including the 416 Taylor and they held up...

Yes 30mm

I am right eye dominant and near sighted with astigmatism in my right eye. I am far sighted with astigmatism in my left eye. She worked it out where my right eye focuses perfectly at 25 yards and weakened the correction for my left eye which makes my right eye do the bulk of the work. The first...

Yes 30mm.
