175 yards.? Buck running right to left and away. Lobbed it about 7 feet out front. Fired, prayed, heard the thump a split second later. Then finally found him and he was hit in the large vessels in front of his back haunches. Gut cavity full of blood, no intestines nicked. Fat body , little...

.458, dang. I'd have to use H4895 and get a 60% load going. Fun thing to have. Strap that thing to the bench rest. Three recoil pads. No scope. Maybe a ghost ring. Hang on.

Oops

That ring on the neck kinda looks like a gas check, and, interesting. If that is a recess ring in your chamber can you fill it in and re-ream the neck a tad?

6.5 PRC? don't know what to tell you on 1000 yards but the PRC in any caliber makes sense.

I was 40 years old when I bought my first center fire rifle. It is a Remington 700 ADL with barrel sights I never use, but they are there. I have see thru rings and a decent Simmons whitetail classic 4x12x50 scope ... makes it hard to use the see thru sights, but doable. It is a basic set up...

416 Rigby double barrel.

Maybe the non mag primer wasn't burning all the powder.?

Thanks.

Is the magnum primer cup material a little thicker than standard primer cup material.?

I vote .308 Though I didn't like reloading for it...so I traded it for a .338

SSC is little short tubes of 7828. The old 7828 was long rods and seemed to look like pick up sticks going down the neck of the cartridge case. It is good for magnum cartridges with heavier bullets. It use it when I ran out of retumbo.

One replication that comes to mind is 277 fury in a 270 win. Which sounds kind of boring but if you're bored. Over bore.? Anyway, maybe hodgdon super performance powder in a well built 30.06....trying to squeeze an extra 100 to"200" fps out of the 30.06...? I goofed around with super performance...

Manufacturer Powder C.O.L. Grs. Vel. (ft/s) Pressure Grs. Vel. (ft/s) Pressure Hodgdon Trail Boss 1.445" 3.0 753 11,600 PSI 5.3 952 13,400 PSI Since I didn't notice trailboss here, I have had some fun with it in light loads. i use home cast 9mm 125 grain projectiles.

I have a 135 grain lead mold for 40/10mm, and, it is fun for light loads...as long as the slide works. Not sure why Glock cares if you shoot lead thru a lone wolf barrel.
