Doc I share some of the same fears

I stopped plinking and shooting for fun. Hunting only until this breaks...assuming it does

Wife beater beer is Stella Artois, a Belgium beer very popular in the UK especially with the military. Personally I can't stand the stuff. If I'm drinking good old British beer "Banks Bitter" from Wolverhampton is my favorite, if I'm drinking larger I prefer American or Canadian brands an...

Well it certainly stays where the money is. 1st world countries got hit hard with US top of the list. 100 or so 2nd and 3rd world countries hit less. Its had time to spread round the globe 6x by now so all I can put it down to is the virus can smell a dollar .

this is going to kill deer wrestling season.

Note the timing of this news release... the war on fun & anything related to traditional America, continues. pretty much. I said on campfire last year we would have mutations, new strains, riots, scandals, killer covid mice and possibly even aliens. Monster of the week stuff. Pretty much right ...

mickbr

interested to check out survival reloading in particular

mickbr

Whatever works for you Bill. My occasional indulgence is paying someone to walk on my lower back. Wear and tear from greco wrestling into my 30's. I can still reach my toes..for now.

mickbr

I have lee dies for 223. I dont shoot the calibre myself but handload it for family members.

mickbr

mickbr

off tangent a little, but I ran into some threads on alaskan and african forums pooh poohing the big pistol cartridges. Now not all do that, but there were a couple that had a negative review of the idea. Having owned big game rifles when I could still shoot them, I know the prejudice some of that c...

I like seeing the smaller guys win again and some return of styles and techniques. These days you cheer when you see a heavyweight who actually remembers how to duck . Good on the ukrainian.

mickbr

Thanks Doc. Seems Lee isnt taking new orders until volumes die down.

The barrel is now getting profiled. Hopefully have some pics shortly of the project in progress.

mickbr

enjoying these 44 special threads!

CFE pistol seems to be in the same general range as unique

Ive seen pistol data for 20/28 showing it matches Unique almost grain for grain.

Ran into two powders for sale Id had no previous experience with. vihtavuori n330 which according to data and anecdotes seems to be similar or slightly slower than unique. Anyone ever tried it? and the shotgun powder alliant 410 for which no pistol data exists but a lot of reports from fellas over a...

Back to the Rossi, I was looking for data on twist rates and several sources said all the Rossis are 1 twist in 30 inches. Is that right?

As I understand that is correct Bill, across all calibres.

mickbr

Bill I chose 357 myself but almost chose 44 just as subsonics or low powered shooting which I do some of favors the bigger calibre. I have a 480 ruger on the way which has finally scratched that itch. If I were to get a 44mag lever Id like it to feed 44 special as you say. When I got my 2x 357 rossi...

mickbr

Great pics there.

mickbr

in a pinch- political, economic or otherwise are there loads that if placed well enough take any game. I'll exclude african animals in the absence of many about here. :) And add the proviso for some game you cant expect to comfortably stop charges like you can with a 45-70 guide gun or 338 win mag.....

Welcome! first gun I bought myself was a spas-12 when I was 19.

Thanks Piller.

On the projectiles front in jacketed I have some boxes of Hornady 325XTP and some loose which I believe are 275gn speer and 275gn Barnes XPB.

Mick, when will you have your rifle in hand? 8) Ray, I had not thought of the Ziffles in quite some time. :lol: Hopefully just a few weeks Bill. Barrel was already done, someones 470 nitro project or something that never eventuated so I got it cheap. Calibre is .474" and as I understand this s...

Fellas so I have a 3 die lee set lined up for the 480 but will this get me by for crimping light loads. I dont think i'll have much luck finding separate taper crimp dies etc

In my loads, I use CCI 350 primers when using max loads of H110/WW296. I have found that those 2 powders do not give best results with regular primers. For Longshot, H4227, and Li'l Gun I use WLP or standard CCI 300 primers. If the rifle primers fit without sticking out, I never tried - so I do not...

Ten years ago NATO was already talking to the taliban about terms. They have been taking ground back since then, NATO even negotiates an exit publicly, then we act surprised when the taliban move back into the capital, complete with ''last minute evacuations". All I can say is reality and truth...

mickbr

Fellas btw what primers can I use for this. I have a qty of large rifle primers and was thinking being it will be in a mauser this would be okay? Or do I utilise large pistol or large pistol magnum.

mickbr

I use hodgons and alliants online reload data as well as owning a few hard copy manuals. Just wondered if any other old speer, lyman, hornady etc manuals could be found as a PDF anywhere?

mickbr

mickbr

Thanks for the input Oldwin.
Fellas would you say this calibre is a different class than 44 mag or larger version of same thing. I am talking recoil, effectiveness, power etc. Recoil wont be so much of a problem in a long gun of course.

mickbr

And all the souls wasted the last 20 years. I posted politically as well but edited it.

Ive used 22LR for headshooting hogs and 22WMR for broadside shooting them. Neither ideal but they will get the job done. 22LR penetrates up to 2" of pine, that beats a lot of animals skulls. It will still penetrate 1/2"of pine at 400 yards. Not that anyone would be landing shots at that ra...

mickbr

great hunt report Piller. How many shots did you put into him?

mickbr

That made my day!

I believe in god, not so much established religion. That said in times of high stress or danger I have said the lords prayer and hail mary's , and it works to calm the mind. I guess that makes me a hypocrite
