Scary thing is some new powders and data are going to let it make even more power. This was all planned out. I have some custom bullets that seat forward more from the case mouth that open up powder capacity. I imagine that .458 is fun as well. I have one in a rifle but not a handgun.
Its a custom. SSK Barrel, brake and mounts. Tony Gettle stocks. Lots of hand work. Badly beating the 45-70. New powders to try soon. It wil now break the 4000 ft lbs. barrier in a handgun. Really fun to shoot.
I know some of you have already seen it but here is my .450 Marlin. I sitll have my stash of 300 grain Partitions. Working with some new powder.
Alliant 1200-R. They have data for the 300 grain Speer. I talked to them last night so I have starting data for the Partition. I should be able to...
I will. Going to sart tearing it down soon. Nothing like having another gun that I have plenty of brass and bullets for. The 444 is one of the most underated cartridges in existence.
The 444 with the buck is the gun that is getting fixed up. The gun with the doe is the 1964 early produciton gun. I swapped the scope out on the 1964
to a more correct steel tube Weaver. I need to do some new pics.
Some time back I started working on a 1968 model 444 first model. The gun is a...
Well we have already started eating that doe. Excellent meat.
I scoped the 45 Super since the last deer. 2.5" groups at 100 yards but expecting better. A work in progress.
Those were shot with the Buffalo Bore 230gr JHP which is loaded with an XTP. It did a great job. Pretty much duplicates the damage I see from my 44 Magnums.
I know Nosler is working 24/7 and shipping just as fast but I buy Nosler bullets from multiple distributors and none of them have received any bullets in the last year. My question is where are they shipping them?
I have some scopes that I was having custom turrets made for but I can't risk...
I have never seen a 140 .264 partition not expand. It leaves a nice long shank with a ball on the end. Never have to look far for a deer with it. Going to try some 125gr partitions shortly.
I am going to to try to visit around to old haunts more this year. Its been a crazy year. A lot of this year was blessed with 80 hour work weeks. I did manage to hunt some and looking forward to turkey season. I didn't even make one duck hunt this year.
