Should be about 5 lbs when done.

I meant to come back and post about that monster. It turned out that 1200-R which thankfully I have (not available right now) will sling the 300 Speer 2457 fps from the 15" barrel. This load is right at the 43,000 psi threshold. In other words 4022 foot pounds from a handgun. Loaded like that...

There it is! This was JD Jones twin barrel he built when he built the one that Dr. Larry Rogers made famous. Doc contacted me and gave me his load data that he used in Africa. New frame will be here in June. I may tear down one of my current guns just to try it out.

The barrel without the brake is 13.5" 350 grains 2250 fps. 400 grains 2100 fps. 300 grains 2370 fps.

I run 240 grain cast semi wadcutters over 6.8 grains of U-Clays in special cases. 868 FPS from a 4" barreled special.

I have personally been attacked by coyotes twice. They will attack humans. Most run but some wont. The first time I had an incident I was turkey hunting. I ended up shooting him with a 12 gauge turkey load. It worked well. Dropped on the spot. The second time I was pulling cards on game...

Yes it is coming back. They are shipping rifles right now and will be shipping pistols in about a month.

I have a rifle as well. I like the 400 grain partition in the rifle. I have also shot the 300 and 350 grain TSX and the Speer 350 grain. Actually had good results with all of them. The 350 Speer is a great cheap bullet.

I have the itch again. This one is going to be a .416 Taylor pistol. Gathering parts now and waiting on the new frames to come out. It probably won't be as brutal as the 450 Marlin pistol launching 300 grains 2457 fps. It will be able to take advantage of the higher BC bullets. I just got a...

I have a bunch of Charter 44 Bulldogs including one exactly like the son of Sam used. I don't load the Charter Arms guns hot. My go to load for them is a 240 grain BBSWC over 6.8 grains Universal Clays. It is accurate and tolerable. I have one Target Bulldog that has shot thousands of that...

I have been super busy so missing all of this good stuff. That is a smoking load out of an ACP. I wouldn't hesitate to deer hunt with it. Of course the Berry's plated bullets generate less pressure than jacketed bullets. That said I think you are right on track bumping the springs up.

I can vouch for Hodgdon. All of their data I'd live fired.

Hunting 2024 in review Kill 1. The deer was a 3.5 year old 10 point buck. Live weight was slightly under 200 lbs but my scale was acting up. From experience I will call him 180 lbs. Live weight. I used my .260 Encore handgun loaded with 140 Nosler Partitions at 2420 fps. The buck was 88 yards...

Saturday I carried the one of my project Glocks, a 10mm to the woods. I was using CEB Raptors for the first time in the gun. The 120 grain is as long as a 200 grain XTP. The velocity was 1434 fps. At 25 yards the guns shoots ragged holes with these bullets. The shot was 59 yards and I shot her...

I did but I can't remember what it is right now. I didn't lose much.

With the .41 Magnum the 210 XTP or 210 Nosler 210 Sporting bullet. The XTP over 22.0 grs H110. It takes a really good crimp and a magnum primer but hits 1604 fps from my 7.5" Bisley Hunter. The Nosler also with H110 but 20.5 grs. The Nosler is softer and seems to open up quicker on deer. I...

The .260 Encore just keeps getting it done. The load is a 140 grain partition over 44.5 grains H4831SC in Starline brass lit by a GM210M primer. 2420 fps from the 15" barrel. The gun shoots like a bench rest rifle. Never had to track anything shot with it.

I shot the last round of local indoor matches with my G24 that had barely been fired before that. Its a blast. Doing it again in November. I am going to shoot one of my hunting Glocks in Unlimited and the G24 in stock. Good practice for shootouts with hogs.

I keep thinking I need an pre-war outdoorsman but this one have the adjustable micro-sights kind of fills that roll at least for the moment. Nothing classier than an outdoorsman.
