It was a wonderful day. My son took me out for breakfast, got to see my Granddaughter, Daughter & SIL took me out to a movie and the wife took me out to dinner! Yep, this area is pretty neat, isn't it .45colt! Within just a few hours a fellow can be in the ocean surf, in a rainforest, in the mou...

The 405gr and 45grs of 3031 will give you somewhere around 1500fps which should give you good accuracy and no leading.

That is very close to the load I have used to take quite a few elk.

A hair under $200 for me this year. Deer, bear, elk cougar, small game, fishing license, salmon and stealhead punchcards and putting in for all the special permits for deer, elk, sheep, moose and goats. Found out yesterday I was drawn for a late antlerless elk tag, so if I don't tag out on a 3 point...

in Illinois, you should read a few issues of Countryside Journal (available on-line, too). Those folks are moving out and off the grid with NO money and often are NOT young and/or healthy. They are today's homesteaders, and they do things 'the old fashioned way', instead of just reading about them ...

My wife has taken about a dozen bucks over the years with her little Marlin and a 4X scope at distances out to around 125 yards with one I can remember just a bit further. Not huge deer, hanging weights between around 110lbs up to one that weighed 187lbs. All 1 shot kills with a 158gr Remington JSP ...

I guess that is one of the reasons 98% of my hunting anymore is handled by the .44 mag, in both rifle and pistol form. I like seein' the whites of their eyes before I pull the trigger. Plus, 99% of all my shooting is with cast bullets and the .44 and cast are like...peanut butter and jelly! :lol: If...

I've shot the 500gr RCBS, about 525grs, through my M70 .458 for 25 years. I just use how ever much 3031 I can stand at the time. Excellent accuracy at all velocities.

As said - the long nosed Kieth boolits like the 44250 RCBS make the OACL too long for feeding in the carbines. Yeah, but the 44-245 PB isn't too long and is a fantastically accurate bullet! In fact, I am back in the house reading leverguns while taking a break from a long casting session of 44-245'...

Yep, they are pretty sweet little revolvers, that for sure! I get about the same group size from all 4 of mine with the 4 5/8" barrel, about 1 1/2" with 7 1/2grs Unique and a 255gr PB SWC. A neat little load that is actually pretty powerful in its own right. Took a nice 3x3 buck last year ...

I am so very very sorry for you and your families loss.

I'm about to go through the same loss, my best buddy is a 15 year old GSP that I've had since he was 5 weeks. He is fighting cancer and doesn't have much time left.

I cry when I just think of him being gone.

While i await the return of my guide gun from Marlington i broke out this 336 in 35 Rem that was made in 1979.

I have a Lyman 429640 double cavity FP GC mold and it's shot very nicely in one of my 444 rifles . However a 280 grain bullet moving along at a good clip is more then I wanna deal with in a handgun . I use about 50/50 WW/lead and they weigh about 296 grs from my mould. I like this bullet so much I ...

My $.02.

If'n you want a shorter barrel for the field when out huntin', just get your rifle whacked back to 18 1/2" rather than going with the noisy ported model.

SSK rechambered a 14" .44 mag T/C to 444 and put in stronger springs for me probably 25 years ago. One of my more accurate T/C's and they are ALL accurate. I use Lymans 429640 and AA#2520 for a velocity in the 1980fps range. A great deer and elk load. In the years I've had it I bet there has be...

I like the new Blackhawk flat top .44 specials. The longest barrel that it comes in is 5-1/2". If you like the loner barrels you have to get one of the other calibers. Or you could do like I did. I bought a 44 barrel from GB then took it and one of my spare .44 specials out to my local gunsmit...

For 35 years the .44 mag has gotten the job done for me, from deer and bear to a lot of elk. I can't say enough good about it. 99% of my pistol shooting is handled by a couple different .44 Specials, from tin cans and targets to deer and bear. But when I go after big elk sized critters with a pistol...

Since I've decided that a .44mag with either a 240, or a 300 grain @ about 1100fps each will more than cover my needs, I've taken myself out of that arguement. We think alike on this for sure.

I've used one single .357 rifle load since 1978. A 158gr Remington JSP and 17.1grs of W296. Never saw any difference between how deer reacted to it and a 180gr in a 300 win. Down and dead. This has been the wifes favorite for near 33 years now
