Nice, Thanks

So does anyone have data for this combo, (375 ruger with 300 grain), using faster powders? The old IMR manual lists 375 H&H loads with SR4759, IMR 4227, IMR 4198, IMR 4320. I have these powders and would like to experiment with a bit lighter loads. I also have RX7. Quickload?

"I "think" I could come up with a nice light smokeless powder load for it, but maybe the old gun just deserves a proper diet of black powder & lead bullets. If I ever even shoot it." Sounds perfect for a "whiskey and pistols" weekend. Bedroll and campfire under the stars out in the central...

I was sold on reloading when Winchester factory ammo gave me 3 MOA, Then my first reloads produced 1 MOA. This was in the late 90's. I would expect more from factory today.

Reminds me of my Dad's old damascus barrel shotgun. First shotgun he let me shoot. Black powder 16 gauge. Nowadays I don't think they even advise firing it with BP! My dad would use a stick to throw a #10 can into the air like a clay thrower. I would have to wait for the smoke to clear to see...

At least you weren't banned for having an opinion. I got banned on another reloading forum for linking what i thought was a valuable article about the Covid Vaccine early in the pandemic. Pretty far a field from debating which gas check is best I imagine. In some places I have lived, fighting...

Elon is at the VA today with his 6 kids. Awhile back he pledged to cut $115 billion fro the VA.

Any of you work with the Small Business Administration. Received grants, loans, or have them help you get government contracts? Elon has just gained access to their files.

If oil prices come down too much we will lose our refineries again like last time Trump got involved with OPEC. Then we will have another spike in gas prices. But as of this morning OPEC+ told Trump "no" to lowering prices. They also need a certain $per barrel to keep their countries running...

A friend carried one of those 44 special bulldogs in the back pocket of his stagged jeans when helicopter logging in Alaska. It was the smallest, lightest, out of the way thing that had a chance dissuading a bear. Hard cast bullets.

Bigger things going on right now. Hedge fund managers are 10 to 1 shorting the stock market now due to tariffs according to Goldman Sachs Un-elected bureaucrat Musk has full access to the US treasury payment system Trump ordered air strikes in Somalia With Rubio's visit, Panama people are...

Thanks again Fotis. It looks like I can hunt with my fireforming loads, so it is working out well!

Washington used to be more practical, when it came to firearms. Even restrictive laws gave some thought to needed exceptions. Hunting with suppressors is allowed. Dogs can be used to retrieve wounded big game. Concealed Pistol Licenses are shall issue. Lately (like the rest of the country)...

They are a little short. The primer backs out if not into the lands. I will anneal them after the firing.

Fireforming brass 300prc brass Fotis sized for me to 375. Bullets seated into the lands. Only did 1 or two rounds of each to start. 240 g Cast plain base with green dot didn't work. 1100 fps 285 g Cast Gas Check with full power A5744, 1800 fps also did not do it. (See photo, left case)...

That's what, like 15 primers?

What is the plan according to Project 2025 for state gun rights? The Trump Admin seems to be following those recommendations so far. Other bills for WA include a permit system to buy guns, an 11 percent tax on ammo and guns, additional storage requirements beyond just keeping them away from...

Might be hard to resist tho. "defined "female" and "male" as "a person belonging, at conception to the sex that produces the large reproductive cell" and a "person belonging, at conception, to the sex that produces the small reproductive cell" respectively." So we are all female?

That's really tough. Prayers sent. When I went in for my last colonoscopy I asked if they also looked at the prostate. They said no, that's the Urologist's Job.

I try to keep it related to hunting shooting sports.
