Yes, I photographed that pronghorn while I was in Wyoming for a pronghorn & mule deer hunt a few years ago. He was on the wrong ranch! ;) I didn't have permission to hunt there, so I settled for the camera out the window of my Jeep... Sigh... Ya, I made five trips to the same ranch over ten...

Actually Cheyenne has some nice homes in our price range. Worth a look for sure. Guy

In my lifetime, California, Oregon and Washington were all conservative states. Logging, agriculture, military bases, ship building, commercial fishing, manufacturing... Good hunting and fishing... And yet I've seen them slide left, left, left... We left California 30 years ago - and I was a...

We'd like to join Idaho, or form a new state along with eastern Oregon to get four more conservative senators... But I don't think I'm going to live long enough to see anything like that happen. It's going to take decades I fear. So, Mama and I are done financing this lefty state. Our money...

I've taken five, all in northeast Wyoming... May or may not go back for another. They sure are fun to hunt, and taste great too. Best of luck! Guy

Wife and I have had about enough of Washington's crazy lefty government. 30 years ago when we moved here it was a beautiful state with a Democrat governor & legislature. But it was a good governor & legislature. We had open carry, good hunting, no obnoxious anti-gun laws. Property taxes were...

I don't know why, and I'm not sure it's gone - but several retailers list it as discontinued. Bullets come and bullets go. I suspect that it has a lot to do if a particular bullet is selling well and making a profit for the company. Guy

That is sad JD. We mere mortals often don't last very long. Seems like his time got cut short. :( Guy

:) It's a 2009 thread... I think it either continued to get better or something. :) Guy

I'll try to put together a decent post/article about it. Been a few years since I loaded for it and shot it. Very cool old rifle. Regards, Guy

They should work great in that 1:7 twist 5.56 rifle! Guy

Here's Nosler's data for their 64 grain bullet, which is a pretty stubby bullet despite the weight. If you use their data for your Sierra bullets, start low and work up. Not all 64 grain .224" bullets are the same. Just selecting the max charge is a bad idea, particularly since you don't have...

I "think" that bullet has been discontinued by Sierra. They're really good about answering inquiries about their bullets if you call 'em on the phone which I'd recommend at this late date instead of an e-mail since you intend to hunt with the bullets on Monday. What I'm worried about is that...

Good luck on your load development - and we're looking forward to seeing your results. The good old 375 H&H has a lot of friends here on the Nosler Forum. Guy

Welcome to the forum, and my goodness you did dig up an old thread. I haven't been able to find any RL-15 in a long time, but that's okay, I switched over to H4350 with very good results using the same 260 grain Nosler Accubond. This is data from Hodgdon's online reloading data center...

I'm going to go with John Taffin: "All of the original S&W .44 Russian chambered top-breaks, whether they be single or double action, should only be used with black powder." John has a whole lot more knowledge than I do about old revolvers and loading for them. I "think" I could come up with...

I've actually done a fair bit of shooting and loading with the 360 Buckhammer. Haven't tried it on game yet. Carried it for black bear early last fall. No shot. Handloads moved a 200 gr Hornady at 2311 fps with good tight SD & ES numbers. Factory Remington 200 gr ammo was quite a bit slower...

Question for the group. We have some very experienced handloaders here and I've not ventured into this area before. I have a S&W First Model Double Action Revolver in 44 Russian. The gun is in good mechanical condition, though the finish is well worn and even some pitting. The last of these...

Fotis - didn't you chop the barrel on one of your great Marlin lever actions? I really like the little ol' soft-kicking 30-30 and haul one along in my Jeep often, but I don't actually hunt with it all that much. The newer bullets and powders have really woken up the old cartridge re velocity...

Congrats on your retirement! Very cool rifle too. Ya, that cartridge caught my eye long ago, I think you're right, it produces some very impressive muzzle velocity. Out of curiosity, I found some load data for it: https://www.xxl-reloading.com/6.5-x-68-.264-100gr-Nosler-Ballistic-Tip...
