I reload for the 240 mini Roy. I am using the 80 grain TTSX with 52.5 grains of RL 22 for a velocity of 3300 fps. I love this little round

Headed out again today. Did not have any pressure signs with the 62.5 grain/145g LRX with the temp at 70 degrees. Decided to work on the 160 grain AB as well. Think that I might just stick with the AB. At 3.360" I was getting 3/4" group. 3.350" gave me a 1" group. 3.340" and 3.330" gave me...

Most places here in Central Kalifornia have primers of all kinds. Powder and bullets now that is another story all together! Thank God for SPS.

+1 on your story writing abilities! I would certainly by a book. But, if not for us, write your hunting tales for your grandchildren and their children. Your stories are always an excellent and entertaining read.

Thanks guys. I am going to the range today. I am going to take some cartridges loaded down two gains at 60.5 and I will keep the rest of the cartridges (62.5 g) in a cooler and see what happens.

I have a .280 AI that I have loaded with 62.5 g of RL 22 under a 145 grain Barnes LRX bullet with a Federal 215 match primer. I carefully worked up the load. It produced two 3/4" 4 shot groups without any signs of excess pressure. Or, at least it did until last Friday. During the initial load...

Very impressive Fotis! I am darn near jealous. I am a little surprised that, that big case does doesn't take a little more powder. I am running 124 grains of 50 BMG in my 30-378. Of course I am only running a 150 grain E-tip. Very nice looking "rifle." I can't wait for the range report!

Excellent story Dr. Mike! Congratulations on you elk. I love to read your stories.

Guy, Congrats to you and your son. I love the smile on his face. That is a heck of a bear. Good luck on filling your tag.

Excellent job Fotis. Look out antelope!

I bought two boxes of the 30 cal 165 grain MRX bullets about 6 years ago. Upon their arrival, I realized that they were boxes of 20 :oops: . Still have not worked up a load. The TTSX work very well in multiple rifles--central Kalifornia and down is copper only. They have accounted for about...

SJB358, Nice pistols especially the shorty. I wish that they made that in 454 Casull! I would purchase one in a heartbeat.

Good luck to you and your son, Guy. I hope that you both have big smiles and slightly sore backs from packing out a couple of big bruins!

"Spike horn steak!" That is great! I love it. She now has the bow bug. She was talking about buying a second deer tag, but we leave for Wy antelope in a little over a month and need to get her (and certainly me too) shooting at some distance. Her Rem 700 in 257 roy now wears a McSwirly of...

I have the Super Redhawk in 44 with the 7.5" barrel. It shoots better than I do but is a pain in the arse to carry. I have a shoulder rig for it but it is still cumbersome as a side arm. My 5'5" wife has no problem shooting it. If I were to do it again though, I think that I would opt for a...

Dr. Mike, Thank you for this wonderful thread. I have no doubt that your grandson had a great time. Your thread reminds me of the few times that my grandfather took me fishing and the one time that I was able to hunt with him and my father. I was not able to hunt since I was about 5-6 years...

WOW! I have not seen that much ammo stacked up in a long time. Hopefully things will change pretty soon. I did notice that the Bass Pro Shop in Manteca, Ca had some primers back on the shelf and a few boxes of hand gun ammo. I can't wait for my June trip to Reno. Hopefully they have fully...

Good luck. I hope your grandson connects this evening. I imagine that fresh moose loin would be excellent on you bbq this evening!

Excellent post. I wish that there was a poster of this info. Fold up cards would be nice to have to pass out to folks to get the word out.
