I don't think it is, but it's what the FFL holder thought was worth it for him to deal with it all.

I'll make a note of that and try it next year when I'm done hunting. Right now I'm all set and don't want to change anything before heading out for deer. Thanks!

I like 7828 SSC but a 92-grain Hammer with IMR 4350 gives me over 3700 fps and a decent group.

Congrats!

Here at home I have my trail cam out next to the orchard. There's a forked horn that comes out to munch on the fallen apples and the grape leaves. He's out around 6:50 am or so patrolling. I'm close to the cascades so your bucks may act a bit different. I hope we get some rain soon. I'm heading...

Congrats! I just got my first here in Oregon with a traditional muzzle loader. I want to try Wyoming sometime in my life.

It was there when I checked one minute ago. I don't have a need for it, so I left it.

Yep, 'finger cots' on Amazon or tape.

I have two Remington .30-06 rifles. One I bought in 1974 that I still load for. IMR 4064 46.5 gr Barnes 165 gr COAL 3.672 The other is a Mountain rifle. IMR 4064 46.5gr Barnes 165 COAL 3.670

I tested with one brick for Oregon...$15.00 for shipping.

"just something in her mind about the size of the projectile I guess." Size matters..... ;-)

I'm glad I read this. I was worried by the wording of your title that you were going to hunt your wife with a lever gun. Has she tried any of those calibers you're looking at? Maybe take her to a gun store and see if they have anything that fits and she's comfortable handling.

Way back when, before you were probably born, factory ammo was fairly inexpensive. I've used it to break in rifles and kept the fire-formed brass to reload. These days scrounging for components seems to be the way to go. Good luck in your endeavor and enjoy your new build. :)
