i have messed around a lot with different boolits in my t/c renegade and the best I have found so far is 80gr pyrodex and 370gr maxiball. I have tried the 275 and 350 maxi hunters but didn't do as well. would also tell you that my groups tightened a lot by using a wad on top of the charge.

ruger has a no.1b in 257 wby.hmmm :grin:

I have 3 points and still have not drawn, I will be trapping for the most part but I do have 2 loads worked up just in case. ruger no.1 29'' barrel 30-378 165 bt 110.0 retumbo browning a-bolt 243 70bt and rl-22 (y)

i have a 30-378 built on a ruger no.1, mine maxes with 108 and the 180's. I had pressure issues as well and the problem is retumbo. it spikes something terrible.

Ruger#1 30-378 with 210lrab and 165 bst. Might take out the model 70 supergrade 7mm mag too with 150 ballistic tips, still haven't shot that one yet.

honestly, if my 06 couldn't do it where we hunt I would skip the other 30's and go to .338. and that's from someone with a m77 30-06 , ruger no.1 300win, ruger no.1 300 ultra and ruger no.1 30-378. :P

anybody have one?? any loads?? was going to build a 25 stw but i have been looking into one of these instead. I have a ton of 243 brass and a shot out A-bolt.

nope,I run them at 3300 with rl-22 out of my m77 varmint and never had a problem on deer. i like'm better than the 115's. and for smaller stuff i use th 85bt.

Got a like new win 63 today that my grandpa bought in the 40's. took it out and put 30-40 rounds through it. It's a cool old gun that looks like new yet.

got a deal on another #1b and i think this time round i am going to send one to pacnor to become a 25stw with 30'' tube. :grin: anybody have anything done by pacnor?

that was FAST. THANK YOU! :grin:

anybody know what a starting point would be for rl33 and a 190 or 210 accubond? i hope that maybe rl33 would give me the same or better velocity as retumbo without the pressure spike surprises. :?

Didn't recover bullet but 1'' in and exit was little smaller than baseball size. Shot was uphill a little so it came out high and caught bottom of spine.

Performance was exeptional with 180bt and 108 retumbo no tracking req. Shot was About 100yds,good thing I had the big 30. :lol:

Got a buck and doe with rifle same for bow :P
