    Taurus 44 Raging Hunter?

    Have the 8 3/8 bbl version with an at3 red dot mounted on it. Accuracy at 10yds (72 y/o eyes) 1 1/4", recoil less than my f/s 1911. From a bench can still hit less than 3" on a 5 shot group at 25 yds. Quality was great, only thing that took getting used to was the double cylinder locks. Had a...

    min/max aol

    Long time ago (before I turned 68) I had this info written down. First, loading .38spcl 158gr swc being shot out of a Taurus Ultralite (plinking fodder). Should I seat the bullet closer to the min aol or to the max aol? Had to stop reloading bout 2 years ago due to medical reasons. Thanks for...

    Savage model 111 cold barrel shot off

    Shooting from a bench and using 2 bags (caldwell set). The bench is wood and isn't built for me. seat is low and I almost have to lay down on the rifle. imagine resting your fist on a table and your chin resting on your fist. Not conducive to good shooting. But with my 270 i can normally keep...

    Restock a Savage Trophy Hunter 111 25-06

    Tried the Monte Carlo twice. Once at the gun shop and today at the range. It fits real good when throwing it up off hand. At the range, I found it more comfortable as I could hold my head up a little higher than normal (less of a pain in the neck). Looks like it'll be the Monte Carlo stock...

    Lee FCD or seat/crimp die

    I'll probably remove the indexing rod and use the turret as a single stage until I get used to loading rifle. After I get all the stages down pat I'll put the rod back and use the auto indexing. I'll also be keeping my toes crossed hoping that Mr. Murphy S Law doesn't show his face and ruin a...

    Lee FCD or seat/crimp die

    Howdy, I just got a Savage T/H 111 in 25-06. Was wondering if it was worth the extra money to use the Lee factory crimp die or just use the seat/crimp die that comes with the die set. Just getting started in reloading for rifle. Have the Lee Classic Cast Turret (4 hole) press.
