My Gaucho shoots very high with the mid-range charges for 255gr LSWC. at 6.2 gr I was high by over a foot... The max loads listed are 6.5 gr at about 11,000 CUP. Looks like there is more room in the case and standard pressures for 45 Colt usually state a max of around 14,000 CUP. Is there...

Loaded 10 each of 325 Lever-lution and 405 JFP over 30.5 gr of 4227. Functioned flawlessly with a modified 20 round early (metal follower) mag. With the full length buffer tube, double-rate spring and MGI rate-reducing buffer - recoil was not punishing. Just a heavy shove. BIG SMILES...

Found a note on my door last night. Seems UPS needs a signature for a package from RRA.... I haven't even loaded up any 458 yet! -tINY

I thought it was just the Mako I bought with the funky stock. It didn't initially shoot too well. I checked the stock fit and the barrel was pressed up against the fore end pretty good, so I pillar bedded it and did what I could to get a good bedding on that weird, round recoil lug... So, I...

I was recently told that 45 Colt can do anything that a 454 can do... ...anybody here concur? I get a measured 1900 fps with a 300gr XTP mags from a 16" carbine. Will 45 colt do that? -tINY

So, we made a tool to take it apart and thread the muzzle. Now I have to wait for the birdcage from Midway. -tINY

I received my 100 45colt cases yesterday. I don't know if I hit the wrong button, wasn't paying attention or ???. Either way, I notice the headstamp says "blank" and the flash holes are 0.140. Since the rounds are for a SAA using Trailboss powder, I didn't think it would be an issue. Any...

I'm working up 165 grain loads for my 308 - 1:12 twist. They're acting like they are marginally stable and I noticed that they were quite a bit longer than other 165 gr 30 cal pills. Anybody have any experience here? -tINY

So, I drew a good elk tag this year. But I don't have time to work up a lot of loads... I have a 308 (21" rem) and a 300 WM (24" Howa) and want to get loads worked up for both rifles for the Elk hunt - and I want to use the 308 for deer too.... Realizing that the 308 is probably a 200yd Elk...

Anyone got one yet? Looks like and interesting rifle... -tINY

I'm looking at building up a lower for a 458 SoCom upper... Any ideas what trigger and buffer solution to use on a big bruiser like this? -tINY

Once I releived a lot of the barrel channel, I decided that the Medalist Bell and Carlson stock had the aluminum chassis installed at a slight decline. I guess the Butler Creek stock wasn't so bad as to warrant this much work, but I already modified the "Special deal" from Midway... So, I did...

I was told today that premium ammo was not available from the distributer. Story was there was a primer shortage and ammo lines were only running the ammo with the widest distribution and military.... Primers were also unavailable. Anybody else run into this? Any other news? I was ordering a...

Not to lambast Mr Zumbo, but what are everyones thoughts on militia rifles for hunting? I can see a heavy barreled accurate AR-15 from a bench for prairie dogs and such. I could even see an 18" shotgun for upland game if getting to the fields was hard. I can't see lugging my M1a out for deer...

If you believe a Chrony, then my 16" Puma 92 shoots 300 grain XTP slugs at 1900 fps at 40 degrees ambient temperature. I won't say how much H110 I used because it's probably not safe in your gun....(I don't think it's quite compressed). I have some GC 360 grain hardcast. With the lube, I'm...

I fell in love with the Savage MK2 Mako today. I had a stack of cash in the safe from an M1 paratrooper that I sold recently. The thing feels good on the shoulder and I love the accutrigger. Of course the Oregon state instant check flunky pressed a wrong button and I got "delayed" for up to a...

I'm finally getting to all that 223 once-fired stuff I've held on to for too many years. A couple of questions on my mind: Since these were fired mostly form semi-autos and probably will be again, I need a small-base resizing die, right? There are several years of "LC" headstamps. Was Lake...

So the 360 grain hardcast bullets with a gas check have arived (Laser Cast Tru-shot). But I am having trouble finding a reference for staring loads with H110. It's for my 16" Puma 92. I've used 300 grain Gold Dot and XTP with 30gr H110 withouf issues. That is about 100% load density. I am...

I noticed yesterday that my Taurus 44mag seems to have inhereted the cylinder length from it's 454 brother. That means I have about another 1/8" or so to seat the bullet out. I aslo noticed that the heavy XTP bullets have a second cannelure. which would but the bullet out further. That might...

The 300 grain XTC and Soft point bullets work well in my 16" 454 Casul carbine. I use 30 grains of H110 to get them going. I expect them to be fine for deer and Elk. But - I really want to develop a heavy load that would do for Moose and Brown bear (and Pontiac La Sabres in a pinch). So, the...
