I suppose the only thing left to do is find some of the pellets that they used and see if I can shoot it as well as they did. One thing you should have in mind is that springer airguns are very hold sencitive (specially the more powerful ones). Try to not shoot it off the bench or with other rest. ...

Had some time to go to the range today, lousy weather but i got some loads tested. Träffbild.jpg 21,0grs of Accurate 5744 gave this Group at 25m. Think the 5744 is a more suitable powder for the 14" short barrel on my contender than 2520. With ten shots i got... MV = 1688fps, ES = 4,0% (or 67fp...

Here in Sweden it's cold and humid... +2°C (36°F) very windy and snow/rain.

Merry Christmas to you all to.

Is the bore ride portion of bullet a snug fit in the muzzle? Yes, the bore riding part of the bullets is "a snug fit" in the barrel. What about doing a chamber casting to make sure someone hasn't reamed that out into something else? The picture looks okay, but are the bullets hitting poin...

It didn't go much better today... Träffbild.jpg Ten-shot group at 25m was 81mm!!! :cry: (3,18" at 27,3yds) Sotiga hylsor.jpg Cases got quite sooty, low pressure or what do you think? The load was 30,0grs Accurate 2520, c.o.l. 2,65" under Lee's C309-200-R cast bullet (204grs) . Velocity was...

probably not relevant but ... 300 whisper and 300 aac blackout shoot those 200+ gr bullets as subsonics. might be interesting to look at those loads. they are using fast powders and short fast twist barrels. The problem with this is that the .300 Whisper/Blackout have only about half the case capac...

Pistol Mike, Sorry I didn't see this sooner. As Sixgun indicated, with 200+ gr. bullets, I have used a capacity load of 4350 and also 35 grs. of H414 which is a ball powder that has a similar burning rate to 4350. I use the recipies in lever guns and they shoot very well. Thanks and no worries! :) ...

I'm almost out of 5744, but I Think it might be enogh for some test loads.


Best regards, Mike

Forgot to mention that the gun is a TC Contender (pistol) with a 14” barrel.

Leverrevolution is quite slow burning? anyway i don't have it on hand, only have Accurate, Vithavouri and Norma powder.

Hi everybody! Is there anyone here that has loaded 200 grains castbullets in the .30WCF!? I'm having trouble finding any loading data for these Heavy for caliber bullets. Also would like to find a good load for the Sierra 200gr Matchking bullet. 30 WCF med tunga & långa kulor.jpg So far i have t...

I friend gave me all this stuff so I feel obliged to fit it in somewhere http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f297/Perry1943/Stuff-1.jpg Going to have to figure out how to tell the wife that her car is going to have to live outside in future. Don't bother making room for all that stuff! Just send it t...

Yes i got several of them, have been carrying a "Morakniv" (see link below) as a work knife for the last 15 years.
Hard to get a more price worthy knife if you ask me. http://www.moraofsweden.se/index.php?cid=484&ssel=401#

Well... guess it's like any other job! some days are good, some are even better! :wink: :D But to be honest i think that a "Die Corrector" is the best job you can get if you want to work on "the floor". you have a lot of responsability and must "use your head" with both...

Just curious since i'm a Sapa employee my self! I'm working as a die corrector at a 3250ton 9" aluminum extrusion press at the Brogard plant in Vetlanda (Sweden). So if there's any other die correctors here we might talk about work instead of guns and such stuff! :wink: :) Would be nice to here...

My minimum battery would be a good rifle and good pisotol. I don't know if it was Karamojo Bell that said that he wouldn't be afraid of walking across Africa with a big bore revolver and a .22LR rifle. So i must agree with both Pathfinder and Karamojo one good rifle and one good pistol is all you n...

Well i've searched for "loads 45-90" and all i come up with is a bunch of results with "33 WCF", "44-40 WCF" and some "smalltalk" about the 45-90. And not much about actual loads for that caliber. There isn't a database with levergun loads that i don't know ab...

Looking for some good hunting loads for an original 86 in 45 90 Well your not alone... i'm also looking for a good hunting load for my '86 .45-90 WCF! :) How old is your rifle? mine is a pretty new Miruko/Winchester, guess your's is a little older. try a search. This has been covered a number of ti...

Buck Elliot and 86er... What bullets are you using or could recommend at these higher speeds? Thought i get some Speer 400grs FNSP for testing, but i don't know if they are too soft for +2000fps speeds Think Swift A-Frame and Barnes TSX would be tough enough. But the nose is to long on these so they...

In realistic terms how much more powerful is it than the 450M or hot 45-70? Is your shoulder the limiting factor? I believe a steady diet of any of the 3 would cause your shoulder to give out before the gun did. I must say that as was suprised with the "mild" recoil of my 7.3 pound Miroku...

Welcome to the board, Pistol Mike. Your over in ole shatterhands territory (Norway, I believe). Thank you for welcoming me! Well... i'm almost from "norway", to be more precise i'm from Smaland in the southern part of Sweden. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweden Wanna knock down some big s...

Yes! Let's hear about your experience loading the .45-90 WCF. I've having trouble finding "full power" loading data for my Miroku/Winchester 1886 EL (almost wish it was a 45-70). Only have one good load in my '86 so far, it's Berry's 350grs RS under 40.0grs of A5744 (shoots under 1.5"...
