Got me some Fifties. Onto reloading...

Dan1612 · Apr 22, 2014

Box is 20. The only other real load I can do is the 300 FTX, the problem with that is that the min charge is 42. Not sure I wanna load that much powder just yet.
Got some good loads for you snow, don't worry.

Snow Bird · Apr 22, 2014

Great, I don't need another SKINT NOSE. LOL

If you did 5 at 7gr and another at 10gr, I would do another 5 at 8.5. That way you'll have another step in your ladder. It will help for your data.

Dan1612 · Apr 22, 2014

Thanks Chris,
Actually:
Did 5 @ 7
Did 5 @ 8
Did 5 @ 9
Did 5 @ 10

Should expose any issues as long as I'm observant. The loads with real powder should be much much easier to load with the powder thrower.

My bad don't see all that just the 7 &10. Hell when u get one that u like then go .5 up & .5 down. When r u going shooting I want to go.

Dan1612 · Apr 22, 2014

Probably Thursday, Snow and Champ should be coming too. The more, the merrier. Plus, I get another witness of Snow's beating.

Calculated steps · Apr 22, 2014

Sweet, snow bird down. I'll take video for the masses.

Dan1612 · Apr 22, 2014

Bird down indeed.
Watch him whoop me and my fancy pistol. HA!
It's too bad The Beowulf won't be here by then.

Just let me know, I'll be there.

IT'll be a shame if the north wins the war between the states AGAIN. Saw your new gun on another thread. Nice. Looks like you are going to bring a whole truck load of guns. Do you know how to use them LOL I think I will bring an old fasion one. It has a WOOD STOCK.

Think I will bring the BDL I bought last summer and only have shot it 9 times.It's a 30/06. If there are any GOOD rifle shooters coming they can shoot it for me and see if it is good shooter or not. I have about 3 diffrent weight boolits if memory serves me. See how the thing does.

Shot the 300 grain FTXs through the 4" today, at Oak Ridge, which let's me shoot 50's anytime I want.

OH MY GOD, THE FIREBALLS!!!

I'm in love!!!

Good thing I have the very same projectiles. Time to load some up.
The Lee and Lyman manuals were useless as far as load data, but
I think 42 grains of H110 is a good starting point.

Calculated steps · Apr 30, 2014

Hodgdon manual has nothing for a 300gr. It has data for 275, 325 they both say starting load 42 grs using h110.

Snow Bird · Apr 30, 2014

Dan have you tried any slow fire double action yet with either one of those cannons . A good vid to watch is the one with the guy that shoots for Smith and Wesson. Scares Me.

Dan1612 · Apr 30, 2014

Jerry Miculek?
DA, yes, don't care for it. The action is VERY heavy, as it should be to avoid double taps, so accuracy suffers and my grip doesn't feel nearly as solid.

Snow Bird · Apr 30, 2014

I can understand that. Saw a double tap on a vid and it didn't look like alot of fun.

Dan1612 · Apr 30, 2014

I did it once, a while backwhen I first started shooting 50's. Platinum tips (at the time, they were the most powerful factory loading in terms of muzzle energy) out of the 10.5" Performance Center gun, they have much lighter triggers. You hardly notice it happening except for the two bangs. Both rounds went on target though. I usually load one round at a time for several rounds with any new type of ammo to avoid any surprises.

Dan1612 · May 5, 2014

Whoo Hoo!
Now, who wants to go to the range on Thursday?
