I guess I only have two brush guns. Taken a few deer with my 98 mauser in 9.3x62. It’s fitted with a XS ghost ring rear sight, and I gotta say it’s been pretty fast for me in the brush. Others are my 44 magnum handguns I guess. Sometimes iron sights, and sometimes with red dot. I honestly don’t...
Pretty much what DrMike said. If magazine length allows I’ll start at .010-.020” off the lands with target bullets especially, and cup and core bullets. The mono bullets seem to really like a long jump, around .075”-.100” or even more.
Ain’t gonna lie I spent years hunting with nothing but the 6.5’s. Been through the 260 rem, 6.5x55, and four 6.5 CM’s. At that time the newer 6.5’s didn’t exist. I do still have my howa 26” heavy barrel 6.5 CM. I bedded it into the bell and Carlson adjustable medalist stock, and did a trigger...
I use Norma brass in my 9.3x62, 416 Taylor, and 416 Rem Mag. It’s been excellent for me. In my 6.5 creedmoor target rifle I use Peterson SRP brass. It has been the best brass I’ve ever used honestly, I have over 25 reloads on two separate lot #’s and have yet to scrap a single piece. The primer...
Hope you get it sorted out CL, and glad it wasn’t worse! I use a rcbs light powder dispenser. Once when my little girl was big enough to ride one of her little toys in the house she bumped into my table the powder scale sits on really hard. It knocked all kinda crap off the dispenser while I...
Well that stinks. I have 5 or 6 lbs of 4451, but I have not really messed around with it much yet. I have 9 lbs of 4166 that my 416 Taylor loves with 300 tsx. That atleast should last me a good while in that cannon lol. I sure hope they don’t end up dropping some more IMR powders my 416...
Welcome to the forum! You will find a wealth of knowledge on here, and some of the best people you can imagine. Great rifle you have there, I’ve yet to see a tikka not shoot very well.
Hey guys can someone run a quick load for me? Working on some 44 mag loads with no mag primers, so going through my powders that will work with standard large pistol primers. I have hardly any unique left which is my standby for working loads in 44 magnum. Have plenty of H110 but no mag primers...
I used a lot of 120 BT in a 260 rem I owned years ago with excellent results on deer. I have ran the 120 TTSX in a 6.5 CM with great results too, and extremely accurate.
Hey Guy, I just watched the video on gavintube while on vacation. That’s a great setup you got your son, and I’m sure it will be great for him. I enjoy that YouTube channel a lot, and it’s always great when your on there! Make sure to post some pics when he gets that first animal with it.
