    7-17 at the Range

    Some seating depth change may tighten that up. Did you do 3 shots in .1 -.2 grain increments with the .224? Possible node between wide charges. I have some faith with Ballistic Tips or the ELD-M , give them a try. What's your twist?

    Holosun on Kimber 1911

    I did research, the bulk bag of 124 grain bullets is the Montana Gold hollow points, I have never loaded those yet. I was running the flat top and round nose. I was just functioning the Dillon, ran a fired .38 Super case with dies that has already been set on the block from 20 years ago. Ran it...

    Powders for .38 Super and .45

    Thanks Guy, soon I'll run up to the gun shop which is about an hour away that has some powder on their shelves, hopefully grab some pistol powders and primers there. For the time being, I'll give the old loads a run at the range and get some of that fired brass in the tumbler for a nice...

    Powders for .38 Super and .45

    I pulled the bullets on the .45 and .38 Super. I checked one of the old ammo boxes, it had the load written there which was 6 grains WW231 and 185 grain Remington Sabers. This load was great, but the burn sparks and debris blows back in my face which makes me stop using it, i have about 150...

    Powders for .38 Super and .45

    I came across Guy Miner's YT video on Ultimate Reloader, he spoke about the WW AutoComp, it may be on my list since I can use it for both pistols. Gosh its been ages and so many powders to choose from. I want to narrow it down to powders with 60-70% fill so you won't get a double charge, burns...

    Powders for .38 Super and .45

    I have been away from pistol reloading for 20 years roughly. If can remember, I used Blue Dot for my .38 Super and some Unique for the .45 What powders are you guys using for your .38 Super and .45 with light and heavy bullets?

    Clean up surprise

    Cleaned up my man cave and dusted off all shelves and came across a big plastic tub on the top shelf and found some old ammo and brass. There was some old 6 BR brass empty and loaded. The loaded rounds has some blue corrosion on the mouths running down the neck. Got the bullet hammer, and...

    Holosun on Kimber 1911

    Just got my Kimber .38 Super back yesterday, my gunsmith removed the adjustable rear sight and installed an adapter and mounted the Holosun 507 Competition. Looks pretty slick seeing those different reticles. Picked the reticle with the dot and the halo. I picked red over green, the " shake...

    Need some help figuring out this issue - 6 Dasher

    It will be a straight 6 BR. I should be running them about 2840 fps or a tad more. I ran 6 BR on my old 26 inch barrel on the Rem 700 action at 2840 fps with 30 grains of Varget. This barrel after being set back should be 29 inches, possibly gain some speed but I won't push it very hard, just...

    Need some help figuring out this issue - 6 Dasher

    I have given up on the Alpha reamed 6 Dasher chamber, yesterday I tried to fireform Lapua 6 BR brass to Dasher and a friend gave me 5 pieces of his formed Lapua Dasher brass to try, both leaked carbon past the necks like with the Alpha brass and accuracy sucked. I have done everything possible...

    Swapping from Evinrude ETEC to Suzuki

    Don't overlook Suzuki, they say its the most reliable engine. I yet need to see it to believe it. My ETEC kept breaking down once I get it fixed and its always another thing.

    Swapping from Evinrude ETEC to Suzuki

    I have been a long time Evinrude fan as well, it felt better switching. It was one turn of the key and drive all day and fish with that Suzuki. ETEC had overheating issues since Day 1. On my last fishing trip, we had a long boat ride, about 65-75 miles round trip we went south and north to fish...

    300 Win Mag / Barnes TTSX Ladder Test

    It's my first time using the mono bullets. I always have used 180 Accubonds with the 300 Mag and I love em' and they do work on those tough nilgai. Two years ago, the ELD-X 200 grain is too soft for bone, and did not do so well on the nilgai cow shoulder bone, they busted up just one shoulder...

    300 Win Mag / Barnes TTSX Ladder Test

    Ran a stout 78.8 grain load of RL 25 and 180 TTSX, still seated .050" off the lands. Velocity : 3234, 3243, 3236 with 3 shots @100. I pulled high on the 3rd shot, was flinching with those crappy earplugs awaiting the big boom from the muzzle brake. Was windy out, around 25-30 mph headwind as...

    Killing

    I don't get emotional when I harvest game, my intention was to hunt and harvest to feed my family. I do give thanks to the man above for the blessings for providing food for the table.
