From 500 to 3300 fps and everything in between.
Today I plinked with .218 Bee cast at 1600 fps and .218 Bee jacketed at 2700 fps.

In the past I’ve used .222, .223, and 22-250 and bigger calibers - and placement is important to prevent meat damage with high velocity jacketed bullets.
This one with the .218 was with a cast flat...

That is that “snake cutting” thing that I was telling you about….[emoji106]

I’ve switched to varmint loads for the summer.
13 grs 4227 with the 40 gr Hornady Zmax(I’ll miss them) and CCI 400 primers.
This is at 100 yards on 1/4”...

Speaking of muzzleloader for turkey, I can tell you for certain that a .490” rb will deliver a dinner!
And yes, I’d shoot an unalarmed deer within 100 yards with the Bee using high velocity jacketed...

You stepped up like a good man does.
You and yours have our prayers.

I overbaked some 277-135 to where they were bent once. Now I’m using an old convection oven with a timer.

Do you shoot them straight up in the air- and does roasted flaxseed smell good?
The reason I ask, I recall roasted Maltomeal smelling ok when I blew out some 30-30 to 38-55…..
My 7-30 shoots the...

Good news is great!

Mom fed us Carp Patties in lieu of Salmon patties and none of us ever complained. She canned it in mason jars when we’d get a bunch of Carp and Buffalo.

Easterns are bigger than Rio Grandes, Merriams, and Osceolas.

That is an amazing rifle. Good luck with the gittings and thanks for sharing.

I left this guy alone today. He’s got enough to deal with in the freshly muddy water….

I also have leftover Norma Magnum and Reloader 22 to use up- and save my most useful powders for later use in proven loads.

First, make sure that you have a good supply of parent brass. At present, 25-20 brass is rare.
Second, check the firing pin diameter of the donor shotgun. Small is better; the H&R/NEF usually has a...

Fifty grains of FFG from my .54 Plains Pistol set an 8point buck dead on his butt at 40 odd feet. No thanks on the 60 gr. load!

This is from Hodgdon #24.
I’m in a similar boat; gave my 25-06 to oldest daughter and I have leftover slow burners to...

Update on the Ginex primers.
They have been 100% in fireformed/ neck sized brass; I’m certain that the ftf problem was from a headspace/support problem from over sizing the 30-30 brass.

Thanks for sharing that- and the pics.
Way to shoot!

This is folklore type advice… but long ago I read (somewhere)that you set the ball on a flat surface then pour the powder slowly on top of the ball- until the ball is completely covered in powder,...

A friend has the Henry with the brass finish, glove size lever, and curved buttplate.
It’s not fun from the bench with factory 300 gr1900 fps loads.
But with Unique and Lee 340 gr cast at 1300 fps,...

^^^^Exactly!^^^^^

Scary stuff indeed.
