I'm intrested to see how those two powders will do in the 444 with the Ranch Dog 432-265 , 432-300 and 432-350 .

6pt-sika

Thanks for the info !

I tried for several years to find some 120 around here and none of our distributers had any .

So perhaps I'll pick up a can of 130 and 133 and give them a try in the 444 with cast bullets .

6pt-sika

I'd be intrested to hear of anyones use of VV powder #'s 120 , 130 and 133 .

My primary focus with these are in the 444 and 45-70 .

I used to be 100% against barrel bands and 100% in favor of dove tails and hangers .

I however have learned in the last 10-12 years or so that rifles with bands can shoot as well as rifles without .

But that really doesn't help much if the look of them bothers you

We were visited friday morning by the guys from Fausti ! They are going to make our shop the "Fausti USA - Factory Repair Center" . Or atleast thats what they told us ! And they also clued us in on their dealer cost etc ! I wanna get one of their O/U double rifles . I had originally though...

I have shot 12 &13 gr. loads of Trail Boss in my .444 behind a 300gr. cast bullet with fine results. They are very soft recoiling and have low noise and the best thing is at 50 yards they all want to go through the same hole. :wink: I'm surprised you can get that much in the 444 case , if my me...

I've recently been interested in SR 4769--I'm still learning about this pistol powder. I started my cast bullet shooting with SR4759 in the 38-55 and 45-70 . It worked very well actually but after about two years I switched over to XMP5744 . I've used Trailboss in the 40-82 and something else that ...

Problem now is that only two bullets are available for it, the Hornady and a Barnes Original. Which got me to thinking, what if I rebarreled it to .35-348 Winchester Ackley Improved? If I were you I'd get a mold or two that are gascheck design . Well before I did that I'd make sure that Gator check...

They gave us a couple DVD's to show us the facility in Italy as well as some folks using their products . Of course the ladies killed some birds but there was also this British bloke named Michael Yardley . He could shoot very nicely in the proper but rather stiff english sort of way ! Is there a p...

Well the rifle I was planning on getting to make my fiancee a Retro 444P got away from me today . I was waiting hoping the guy would lower the price some . As all Ida needed to do with this one was change the LOP and add a thicker pad ! Someone had already cut it down and checkered the wood ! But on...

The guy there , that had the last name of Rizzini told me that the two guys that make Ceaser Guerreni used to work at another of his cousins places called something or other Rizzini and then they decided to go out on their own and if I'm not mistaken he said he was related to the Guerrani guys as we...

I'm not so much on the 600 yard thing ! But then I don't have but one possible place I hunt I could get a shot that far !

Think the place is called Nuckols

I would suspect that this will be mostly used in 500 S&W chambered guns. And I bet there will eventually be more Handi Rifles than anything else... I really like mine. Though, I have determined that it needs "mid-level" loads - the full-throttle ones hurt! The Handi is only 6 lb.s... ...

These 1008's were 2004 production year (in 2006) and later on (2007/8) we had some newer ones, though glossy blue (patrol trucks, though interior was similar) for flight commanders and a couple other patrols where Humvees didn't really work. They still have them out there. The one my friend uses is...

I don't think that's true. There is a GM truck plant in Ft. Wayne, In. if they were going to stop production for an entire year it would put a couple of thousand people out of work. The Local News people would have been all over that, and there hasn't been a peep. Presently GM is still running 3 sh...

I've never purchased an actual "Gunsafe" . We've picked up three rather large saves over the years and gutted them and made gun saves out of them ! The first one we got for $150 delivered and it's large enough for 4 large men to fit inside . We paneled it inside and carpeted the floor then...

We have two options here for actual BP ! The first is a rather large gunshop in the sorta Northern VA area and they charge about $6 a pound more then anywhere else !

Back OnT, politics aside, it's too bad - the Silverado/Sierra are the nicest trucks out there IMO. The extended (not crew) cab being a fave of mine.

Someone told me earlier today that General Motors announced they would have NO Chevy or GMC pickup production in the entire year of 2012 .

They've gotten very expensive. When loaded sensibly the .45-70's recoil seems fine to me.
