These bullets are OLD, be my guess they have changed them recently to help improve the BC.
Unless I wrote down the number wrong!

GunnyMack

Ugly is in the eye of the beholder as the old saying goes.
I haven't looked at them very closely however, I give Henry a boat load of credit for developing and marketing a revolver!

GunnyMack

So this Game King has a length of .961 and the book calls for COAL of 2.765".

GunnyMack

It's a Sierra Game King, of course I'm not at the bench but I did get an oal and forgot to include that.

GunnyMack

Bullet weight for this batch I have loaded? 100 gr.

The case capacity changes are for 85,90,100,110 & 120 a couple grains total.

GunnyMack

Looking at Nosler #9, I see that case capacity ( water) changes between bullets. It's not total case capacity. Velocities are from a 24" barrel.
All are lit by Federal 210 primer.
4350 is shown as most accurate powder tested with 100 gr bullet.

GunnyMack

So the 3 load books I have with 257 AI data do not show PSI, 2 do have load density and they don't match! Hornady 8th edition IMR4350 min 40.7gr =2800fps max 45.3=3100 Nosler #4 min 46.0=2978 81% load density max 50.0=3208 88% Nosler #9 min 46.0=2978 87% max 50.0=3208 94% Looking at the Hornady data...

GunnyMack

I would have to look at load books to figure a PSI range. I just loaded some IMR4350 and if the book load shows pressure ( it should) ill post that as a working reference.
As for barrel length I don't remember if it's 20 or 22"- gotta open the safe and get out a tape!

GunnyMack

KWK, thank you for that, lots of good stuff there to digest. As you say CFE223 is in the ball park but im leary to put unpublished loads in a case and pull the trigger! Just so much can go wrong. This Mexican Mauser is the orignal heat treatment, it's a strong action regardless but in no way do I wa...

GunnyMack

Thanks Nut, yes I figured both would work but not knowing a start point I'm kind of stuck. I need to also invest in a Hornady COAL gauge and get Hornady to make me a case for finding the throat. But again it's one of those on going projects...

GunnyMack

I'd like to try CFE223 as I have it in quantity. Recently had good results from Ramshot TAC in another cartridge so maybe try that too. As for bullets I'm looking for 85,90& 100 grainers. Hodgen only lists 2 powders, neither of which I have. Two manuals I have list 1 or 2 powders that I have tri...

GunnyMack

Thanks for that KWK! I have bookmarked the site. Although this lists a powder I'd like to try but as I don't have a starting charge weight it doesn't really help me out. Good info none the less!

GunnyMack

UFO ?! Yesterday the boss said we are fishing tomorrow. So I woke a little earlier than normal, 0430. I'm out walking the dogs and I see a fairly large illuminated orb high going NW to SE, towards the moon. Now I thought at first it was a commercial flight but jets don't have landing light on the a...

And what happens when the planet warms? Polar ice caps melt which in turn all that fresh water stops the Atlantic current from bringing warm tropical water northward. When that happens the planet cools, think ICE AGE.

GunnyMack

We use wood milk quite often on the job, it's called GLUE,

GunnyMack

Oh that kind of AI, I thought you were threatened by Ackley Improved cartridges!

GunnyMack

The other bad thing is when these lithium batteries are damaged in an accident or just over heat ( F150s) on the lot ya cant put the fire out with water!

GunnyMack

I'd say add a few bucks to what ups estimates , covers in case it's more.

GunnyMack

Oh and I forgot to say,
There is not thing one mankind can do to stop or even slow this from happening!

GunnyMack

A 'mid bead ' for shotgun rib is what you need! However I'm not sure if you have enough room to drill & tap.
Brownells has a #1 brass bead, it is .067" dia, you'll need a 3x56 tap and a #45 drill.

GunnyMack

Here the governor has started the process of off shore wind farms. While doing the seismic testing whales are washing up dead on the beaches, not a peep from Green Peace! Not one environmental group has been up in arms about these dead whales. Guy in my club has a Tesla car, his license plate is NET...

GunnyMack

I more or less am self taught for hand loading. 13 rifle calibers, only 4 pistol. While attending gummsmiff skool we had a hand loading elective, gee I was doing it right all along! :lol: The only odd ball I load is my 257 AI, I put the rifle together while in school, Mexican Mauser, Shilen barrel, ...

GunnyMack

12 ga and 3" 4buck provided there was some distance betwixt. Then ill stick with my 40 short & weak.

GunnyMack

See this is why I asked about QL! A whole learning curve to develop! Of course those to Ramshot powders aren't the ones I have! :lol: I've always went by the book, 2 of my manuals have 257 AI data, I've run quite a few different powders but just haven't found ' the load ' yet. Yup use Roberts data a...

GunnyMack

I'm considering ordering QuickLoad software. I've read the website but not all the info I'm looking for is explained. Are the Ackley Improved cartridges listed? Does QL have ALL the powder makers? I've found 2 Ramshot powders that work in 2 of my rifles but I'd like to see what else they might work ...

GunnyMack

My Bee prefers 4227. I need to try CFEBLK, seems that is a good powder in the Bee. Like to try it in the 25-20 also. As well as 1680.

GunnyMack

That's your 480?
Looks like a handy little beast!
What was the donor gun?

GunnyMack

And the people who should be given this money are the ones stuck on reservations and welfare!

GunnyMack

I'll stick with my #1 218 just as it is.
I've got 3 or 400 cases and a couple loads it really likes.

GunnyMack

Clean it when it quits working has always been my thought. However if I shoot something and am putting it away for a long period I'll clean it thoroughly. If it's getting lots of use, like my trap guns I will give it a light clean mid season and a good scrubbing at the end of the season. Always lube...

GunnyMack

Gotcha !

GunnyMack

Bo-whoop? Not familiar with that.
Rock Mountain? Is that the shoot in the Poconos?

GunnyMack

Sounds like despite your not feeling well you had a good time!

GunnyMack

No worries 6pt! Actually I'm kinda tapped out at the moment, had to pay state taxman , just dropped a grand getting my truck fixed!

How did you do at the shoot ?

GunnyMack

A few miles from me is a state boys reformatory. There have been escapes in the past. The neighborhood used to get upset about an escapee coming this way until I said they would much rather hitch hike on the interstate right next door than try and navigate a couple miles of dense hardwood to get to ...

GunnyMack

7, my old shooting coach had gone through this same thing years ago. Cataract surgery, detached retina and emergency repair surgery plus the doc put a bubble of nitrogen in his eye to prevent the collapse of the eye. He is still shooting! Another friend was salmon fishing and as he was landing a fis...

GunnyMack

Well a rainy day here so I decided to put the whelping box together. Took a little coaxing to get Parker to go in but she is comfortable with it now. ( she is a strange duck when new things are involved)

GunnyMack

Which was the original you had?

GunnyMack

COOL!!!

GunnyMack

I've been debating this as well.

Nice thing about the ultrasonic is they can also be used for gun cleaning.

Be interesting to see what others say.

GunnyMack

Ah terriers- what the non terrier people don't know! They are an awesome family in the K9 world. My Jack was a killer! If he could get a hold of it he killed it! Snakes, chipmunks,squirrels, cats, coons, although he couldn't kill them he would worry box turtles for hours on end. 3 skunks that I knew...

GunnyMack

The video said the hydrogen is stored in ' armored tanks ' plus they are located in/ on center line of the car. I think it was Chrysler back in the late 50- early 60’s that put a nuclear plant in a sedan. That was more of a danger that hydrogen if ya ask me! Saw an article earlier about the new Ford...

Being a good parent is probably the most important job you'll ever have. Sadly the way it's going. funny-cardskiss-me-kwikam-i-a-good-mother-susan-533391_large.png Shouldn't that little "girl" be saying ' my name is George ' Back when bernie was running and he proposed the 90% tax I was t...

Do we know how old Bart was? He was one of those guys ya'd love to spend a day with.

GunnyMack

3 cops to stop rush hour traffic for less than 5 minutes to load it up.
Appears the hydraulic line from master cylinder burst by the puddle of fluid under the truck.

GunnyMack

I often wondered what happened to him, always enjoyed his writing as well as his dad's!

GunnyMack

Thanks guys.
Actually no I can't drive it, it's slipping and appears to be in 4th gear!

GunnyMack

On my way home from work, get to a stop light and push in the clutch and OH CARP!! It wanted to keep going with the clutch pedal on the floor! Of course it's one of the busiest highways in the state. I have roadside assistance through my insurance company. They have a tow truck enroute from an hour ...

Ah ok, my uncle was a telephone guy in WA, thought you might have known him if you were in WA at the time.

Jim, where did you do this, Washington state?
