Federal premium with sierra bullets in 150 to 165 gr have worked best for me over the years

My Mother is recoil sensitive, I got her a 22 mag semi auto pistol prior to the Bill Clinton ban. It holds 30rds and is very reliable. If she turns it loose you better get down or be gone!

S&W MP-15 to go along with the two New Old Stock M1 Garands I got from CMP!

Bought them in-between wives ought to suffice.

The original 38-44 data (as already mentioned) was loaded by Elmer Keith. 173grs SWC infront of 13.5grs 2400. Fired out of N Frame 38 specials. Lead directly to the .357 magnum. Some of my real loading books from the 70' list 10grs 2400 with 158gr cast bullets for medium and large frame 38's...

I would get him a 3" 1187 or 1100 (if Remington still makes them). Then when he needs 3.5" performance, buy some hevi shot or tungsten matrix shells. Note: My 1187 is very finicky about being clean, much more so than my 1100's. That just means I wipe the gas tube and sealing rings down...

Dang it gspdave45 you beat me to the Sierra 165 gr Gameking HPBT! It began life when Sierra answered their customers request for a big game bullet HPBT. People had been using the 168gr Matchking target bullets but wanted more controlled expansion on animals. So Sierra brought this baby out...

These type laws and other defiance of Fed authority will evetually lead to a constitutional convention if the Feds continue to ignore the States political wishes. The C.C. is the main gun to the head of the Federal Government that the States have left.

The following actually happened. Chemical plant operator got some oil on his shirt. He decided that propylene oxide (PO) would cut the oil. So he opens his sample station valve into a bucket and starts rinsing his nice shirt in the stream. The shirt is made of synthetic fabric (rayon or...

A good series of powders for both rifles (.308 W and 7mm Rem) is IMR-4895, IMR-4064, IMR-4320. They give good service in both cartridges with a variety of bullets. If you desire to get top velocity with one powder, step up to a 30-06, then the IMR-4350 and IMR-4831 powders will give you top...

For those who are interested, over at castboolits they have a wealth of information on BH and related velocity. Too soft and you get leading, too hard and you get leading, not to mention with the wrong lubricant you get leading! A little reading will answere many questions...
