I usually enjoy his articles in Rifle and Handloader ... the most recent I believe was the one about RN/FP bullet designs. However, I am having a hard time getting past the fact that he was driving to a post office to mail in some articles. How positively Victorian Era of him. I wonder if he hand w...

Well dernit go buy one!!

Hows the recoil fromt the 15 and how loud is it from the Marlin Todd/3leg

Any idea what FPS your loads are doing. Always like the Model 15

I use Laser-Cast 305, 350 and 405 gr FP bullets. Use starting loads and work up. My loads are all 1400 to 1700fps. Let your shoulder decide where to stop. They will all shoot 2" or less at 100 with open sights. Any of those bullets will punch thru deer as far as you can hit them. Todd I have a...

Even a 200gr RFN at 950FPS will throw up alot of dirt at 200 yards. Has very little recoil out of a stock 4 5/8" .45 Blackhawk. A 250gr RFN at 900fps has the stock grips feeling like sandpaper after 30 rounds. So will probably put some Pachmayars on it; if I use that for my standard load. Todd

Dont know how or why, but never saw this post till today. Great pics and info as usual. Must be nice to have "iron sight eyes" when u get older. I am starting to lust over an original '86. Hard part is trying to figure out what to sell to afford one... Todd

loads using 305 to 405 gr bullets at 1000FPS to 1700FPS are the best and will show you why our elders were'nt handicapped by'em. When are going to get your own, and which one do you want to buy? 3leg/Todd PS how far you from McKinnleyville?

Stinson: the 325 and 300 WSM I came close to buying. Can always rebore to 358WSM if'n you wear out the bore. Also the 22/250 i've passed on twice. waiting for the 3rd times the charm deal. OS what kind of ladies shoot BLR's

Last winter I built a little contraption to test various bullet tips against various primers. With a big whack (many times what you can generate in a tubular magazine in a rifle) I could get both sharp hollow points and the polymer tips to act as a "firing pin" and set off the primer. The...

Unless you need caliber specific dies. A 444 Marlin sizer will put all 308 case head type rounds about 4-5 thousands smaller than new.

3leggedturtle

Yep some days its just better to shoot at rocks than targets. At least you were out shooting. Have you chrono'ed those loads?

3leggedturtle

Hobie, it almost looks like it has a post in it ala Federal Hydra-shok. Just shows, companies are always trying to find the next product that will sell. Just like "short mags" a few years ago, Tho I almost considered buying a BLR in either 325 WSM or 300 WSM, but the $700 could have bought...

+1 on the 300 inline six. great engine. I learned you have to have at least a 1000cc bike to travel out of state. My poor Rebel has 36,000 on it and s'pose i should trade up. NOT

Have a Lee 255 RFN mold havent used it in the 1911 yet, but it feeds and shoots great out of the Puma 16". Does 1050fps avaerage out of a 18" 45 Auto T/C Contender carbine, and is fine in the Blachawk. 3leg

3leggedturtle

It doesn't expand as readily as the Remington SP. So what is the point/advantage of having a hollowpoint that expands slower or less than a SP ? Or was it made for the elk and moose hunters? Even tho I realize the 30/30 "aint enuf gun for either" :P :roll:

3leggedturtle

OK JMiller will actually answer one these. 12 gauge in 870 or SxS, 22LR marlin 39, M94 in 30/30 and last Ruger Blackhawk 4 5/8 in 45 Colt. 3leg

3leggedturtle

I really like my Puma 357. But the 16" 45 colt Puma gets more play time. You should buy both and make your own decision

3leggedturtle

Nice swap and purchase. You can always put on a blue-tooth headset so you can look like your talking to someone while discussing your next purchase with your self

.45 Colt is 1.285 or so .45 Scholfield is 1.110 or so .45 autorim is out, as the rim is too thick for .45 Colt arms, so it won't chamber, but yes, the C45S is also the same length as ACP, .898 or so, giving you a shorter cartridge, a bit over twice the length difference ya get going from .45 Colt t...

1st choice Henry 22 mag 2nd Puma 45 Colt 16" 3rd Puma 357 Mag 20" Flop numbers 1 and 2 if expecting black bears or mtn lions on a regular basis

Glad you said there was an old guy, took a few seconds to find him

As long they chamber they'll be fine. Try a few and lets know how it goes. I shoot a lot of laser cast .45 200 and 250 gr bullets. they are always real accurate.

22LR, 22Mag, 25WCF, 30WCF, 357Mag, 45Colt and 45/70 almost forgot 250-3000

For me it was a faze i went thru, just to see what i was like. Then I picked up a new fad: T/C Contenders and Lever actions in old, obsolete and inaccurate cartridges
