I got to play with some some Ultradot Matchdot II sights. One red and one green. These things are the real deal. Optical quality of the glass is light years ahead of any other dot sights I have used. They have numerous options for the dot sizes and brightness settings. They have a couple of...

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...

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...

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...

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 like old stuff. Can't help it. I collect old guns and shoot a lot of them. This year I am making a concerted effort to kill something with some of them. In particular my 1931 38-44 Heavy duty that was customized after WWII by Micro Sight. Someone added the smooth S&W target grips probably late...

I finally got to shoot the little 44 after getting the other sight from Fermin Garza installed. I sighted it at 25 yards. Still didn't make it to shoot 100 yards yet. This gun will probably never see any light loads. It was bought with 3 purposes in mind. Packing for hog hunting, tree stand...

I just got my 2 dogs sights stuck mon my 44 Redhawk. What a difference! I went out in low light a few nights ago and coud see them just fine. The extra tall front is for heavy bullets. This gun will live off of 300 to 340 grains bullets driven as fast as I can drive them. It has already shown...

Well to dive in deeper and work with the lead free bullets I decided to just set up another gun. A couple of reasons for this but the main one is reliability. The 150 grain Cutting edge bullet is as long as most 230 grain cup and core bullets. In order to get the same performance that I see...

2023 deer season certainly was different. As many of you know I rotate guns. I love hunting. Aside from my pure love for hunting I treat every trip to the woods as a fact finding mission. This season I rotated 15 guns. Well off of my plan to carry 30. My plan was to kill approximately 10 deer...

I went yesterday evening after fighting kidney stones since Friday. I had some does come out that I wanted to shoot with my old 44 Flat Top.Couldn't get them into my comfort zone. a little after 4:00 p.m. I had this buck come out into the field but headed for a no shoot zone. I had to do some...

Coming up in rotation is this old (1974) Blackhawk in .357. I have posted on some forums about this gun. It was a train wreck when I got it. I had to totally rebuild it but it turned out to be an awesome shooter. The Buehler mount was on the gun when I got it and made about the same time as...

I have drug one of my old rigs out of its hiding place in one of the safes and brought it back into the mix. I know some of you have seen the posts about putting the new mount on it along with a new FXII-4 Leupold. This gun killed more deer than I can remmember. When they opend 3 does a day in...

Here is one of the .450 loads with the 560 grain bullets next to a 44 magnum to put it in perspective.

First time in the woods for the .44 4.2 Redhawk. First off this thing shoots and is easy to shoot. Second, it packs great. I used one of Back Country Leather's (Randy Miller) chest rigs. A match made in heaven. I bought it for bear protection but it is deffinately getting some woods time...

I finally bloodied my .450 Encore. 160 yards. The gun is working great. I used a 300 grain Hornady loaded to 2030 fps. With the new 1200-R powder I can get them out over 2400 fps from the 15" barrel. Quite the beast. I am saving my 300 grain Partitions for Elk, moose or Africa. I would love to...

I fnally got my .460 Rowland set up for long range together. It is a blast to shoot. Runs like a Swiss watch. I have been working with Nosler 250 grains and Power Pistol powder. A bit more developement to do but on the right track. Bar-Sto barrel. All hand fit. Carver mounts with Crimson Trace...

I am trying to find data for the Hawk 235 grain .411 bullet for use in the .405 Winchester. I located some several years ago and I cna remember where. Its going in a Ruger #1. Really cool rifle.
