    powder profile , Grand

    I've got StaBall HD on the shelf but I tried Grand first so don't have any comparison in 270 or 7mm. I do have both HD and Grand loaded in 25-06 with 115 Partition for a test run soon.

    Good Read

    At The Federalist: Study: Armed Citizens do a Better Job Stopping Active Shooters Than Police. Came across this article, thought it interesting. You can google the title for the article. I don't like posting links.

    Rifles that Need to be Hunted (or loads developed for) in 2025

    I've got a Rem 740 in 244 Rem that I have not shot. I have some ammo loaded for it I just lost interest. I have a Rem 700 25-06 that I have good loads for and have hunted a couple of days with no kill. It just doesn't have any aura about it, its plastic. I have a 760 in 270 win that had I a...

    230 gr 45 ACP... 1000 fps?

    I don't like shooting Years ago I bought an used Series 70 Lightweight Commander in 45 ACP. I shot it a lot with ball ammo. After a thousand rounds or so I noticed a crack in the frame in the area of the slide stop. I traded the pistol off. Since that time I have been reluctant to shoot a...

    230 gr 45 ACP... 1000 fps?

    That is a good idea Fotis, better than spending 150 bucks on components to give it a try.

    230 gr 45 ACP... 1000 fps?

    I never gave a serious thought to a 45 acp 1911 as a defense round while hunting out west but 1000 fps with a 230 gr bullet makes me wonder. I believe I'm gonna try. I have not had any variation on my ACP loads in a lot of years as I use a Dillon square deal to load and it's set. 5.5grs 231...

    A couple ole Mauser Builds

    Nice rifles. A 6.5x55 would be a good conversion for my extra Rem 700 270 win.

    270 Winchester

    The first great load I put together for my 270 win was a 130 gr Partition and H-4350. I've found that 130 Partitions are finicky to length and I really couldn't tell you what that length is because all five of them were different. 130 Sierra Game Kings have also done well. I've also worked...

    230 gr 45 ACP... 1000 fps?

    Years ago I loaded up some 200 gr Speer hollow points with Alliant Blue Dot that were over 1100 fps. They were hand bruisers and ended up being of no use to me. That was with a 5" Gold Cup.

    Cheap gun?

    At one time a Rem 700 ADL from Academy or Walmart was cheaper than a bare 700 action from Brownells. Not so today.

    Made my contribution.....

    When I was a youngster we would go to the Valley (border counties) to shoot white wing dove. We would just pull off on the county road and go at it. You could also hunt on some of the larger ranches by giving the foreman beer or other such beverages. Oilfield people like my dad knew most of...

    New Kimber 1911

    Couple of weeks ago I did my LEOSA retired peace officers qualifications with my new Springfield LW 1911 9mm. I like it.

    Best affordable scope

    I think a Leupold VX- Freedom 4x-12x would suffice and it will give reasonable eye relief when set a far back as will go on the Ruger #1. It's also in your price range.
