Well, it is a couple, 3 years old. Lol

I used to have a 458 WM and ran mostly light loads in it. Looking back at my notes IMR or H4198 will work for you as well. I was running 300 gr. Sierra or Hornady with 50 grains of IMR4198 for a shade over 1800 fps. It was a pussycat in the heavier rifle. If using either 4895 I just stick to...

All dies I have are Redding. Also, as said here before. If you have trouble with a die, replace it with Redding and your problem will be solved.

I’m extremely happy with the X-Caliber barrel they made for me. That rifle will be a hell of a shooter for you. Edit: It’s also a very handsome rifle. Congrats.

I hate that our muzzleloader season here in Ohio is in early January. Essentially every doe is carrying a fawn at that point. Pulling the trigger carries a little sting with it for me, but I go if I have tags left.

Absolutely beautiful Dan. You did a great job! I love my .54’s.

Thank you. It’s an Accurate mold. They group as well as jacketed. Best mold I’ve ever owned. It throws bullets at .460”. I size to .459” with the gas check.

I’d like to see Ruger bring back the 22” barreled 1895, and don’t thread the dang muzzle.

Congratulations Dan!

I figured I was overthinking things again.

Outstanding!

They perform pretty much as a hard cast. They expand a little but penetrate very deep. I’ve never recovered one, but truthfully I haven’t used then on anything big enough to stress the bullet. They have been very accurate for me. To use them in 45-70 you have to use the LEE fcd. Also, from my...

It’s a sickness. It happpened gradually and piece by piece to me. I have a cheap $400 Remington 783. I added a 26” #5 Contour, 1:8 twist stainless X-Caliber barrel in 7mm Rem Mag, Timney trigger, PT&G AICS bottom metal and bolt head, Boyd’s French Walnut stock, bedded the action, and Duracoated...

Yes, the 300 Win Mag fires a .308 diameter bullet. Alaska is saying he likes the 200 grain, .308 diameter bullet, fired from his 300 Win Mag. I think the Hot Cor bullets are overlooked. They perform very well when impact velocities are 3000 fps or below. They are economical, and are very...

I think this is an excellent idea! This never crossed my mind but the cases would last forever in a 308 Win. Thanks, now I want to acquire Fury cases.

I have a random question about hard cast rounds after cleaning the rifle. After cleaning my 1895 in 45-70, I will put a little melted Carnauba Red bullet lube on a patch and run it through the cleaned barrel, then run a couple tight dry patches through the bore to make sure there is only a thin...

Thank you. Good information. I may have to work up a good hunting load.

I don’t take extended distance shots at game. It’s bowhunting ranges for me. I put one of the GD 230’s through both lungs of a Whitetail at 20 yards with exit 4-5 years ago. I agree though. If I were going for anything bigger or defense I would go with 255 grain hard casts.

I have a Springfield 1911 that I made 45 Super capable. I enjoy it very much. I Added a ported 6” barrel to a 5” slide. Added a recoil buffer and a heavier Wolf hammer, and went from the stock 16 lb to a 20 lb recoil spring. I’m getting 1239 fps with Underwood, 45 Super 230 grain Gold Dot loads...

Those are mules with horns!!
