Not bad!!! I'm curious, d/a revolvers handle the recoil differently obviously because of grip angles etc, etc, how would you compare the bisley to the s&w since you got to back to back them with same cartridge and load?

We've used a small variety of combinations in a small variety of rifles so far, for the lightweight bullets we WERE using 4166, but now that that's out, general rule of thumb we play by is varmint weights up to and including the sierra flat based 85 gr run the imr4064, the I4350 and h4831 also...

I've been running benchmark for a good long while now, been eyeballing a few others, just haven't gotten around to pulling the trigger yet.

Might try loadbooks in .243 something like one of these: https://www.ebay.com/itm/395335121809?itmmeta=01HVVJ235HXECQJZBX86WKBW8A&hash=item5c0bcf3b91:g:QLQAAOSwKKhhjSFN

So, several folks have not been thrilled with the screwdriver bullets, the wfn as Craig mentioned, or the barnes xpbs would probably serve you better.

Are you hunting on a "wilderness area"? Last I knew the basic rule of thumb for a nonresident was hunting on public land=guide required by law.

My oldest(16) saw a bench for the first time about 6 months ago, in a store, and decided it must be for lazy people 😆, I educated her on the uses of benches and while she accepted it, she retained a skeptical look until we left that part of the store and she found something that struck her interest.

Mattsbullets.com 147 gr hp, or barnes 110, they both do what they're supposed at low velocities, I like bullseye but have been looking at slightly slower powders, accuracy has been great with bullseye, but I think I'd like just a bit more speed. The gold dots (even the 135 for "short barrel"...

I'm not sure what about the "x" is false advertising, it was my understanding the x is for eXpansion, and the M is for match, I may have missed something though.... we treat the M like an amax(thinner more brittle jacket) and the x like a basic sst with a thicker jacket as far as terminal...

https://www.strelokpro.online/StrelokPro/android/default.asp That's direct from the developer, I have a Samsung phone so it was pretty straightforward for me.

I still use strelok pro, just have to download from a 3rd party.

Fixed it for you. 😉44 mag carbine wouldn't be my first choice, but I'd take it in a heartbeat over your given alternative!! I don't live where there are hogs, but here, the only live targets that get an fmj are prairie dogs (prefer varmint loads) and coyotes (prefer varmint loads or deer loads...

Yaw reduces greatly with lack of velocity, don't even roll the dice, get expanding loads.

With THIS in mind and your stated terrain, run the .223 for varmints and the .300bo as a plinker.

I'm fairly familiar with percussions, shot a handful of rifles in my younger years, my brother and I had .44 and .36 cap and ball revolvers, honestly the big appeal of the inlines is the 209 primers, bh209, and scopes. Where I live currently, there's no extra season for muzzleloader, but some...
