Sierra makes a 200 gr. Flat point bullet and Barnes makes a 255 gr. Bullet. Powders that are reported to work well are Reloder 7, Reloder 10X, AA1680, IMR or H 4198 and a few others. I bought one when they came out, stupidly traded it, and only recently reaquired one. I have not yet...

In case it has not been said previously, AR's are an amazing and ingenuous example of engineering. That includes the direct impingement set up utilizing bleed off gas, a reciprocating bolt carrier and rotating bolt, to the ease of manufacture, to the modularity.

I bought the Pedersoli in the Billy Dixon version with the medium weight barrel also in 45-70. A little handier, still very accurate. Watched Tom Selleck since his Magnum P.I. days. He always seemed to be a decent individual in a profession where most are self absorbed.

About 40 years ago I got a kit BP revolver and put it together, and casted balls for it using any scrap lead I could find, including wheel weights. I figured that if I could load the ball, it would shoot the ball. I did worry a bit about the harder round balls, because of the conventional...

I have 2 1980's '94's a 30-30 and a 375. Love them. Would like to have a pre-'64. Also have a 9422. My go to meat getter, though, is a 7mm Rem Mag.

I dunno, I just stepped into FFP scopes with an Athlon 4 x 16 on an accurate .22 and what I have noticed is the grid is pretty useless to me at any thing less than full power. At low powers, the grid is so small it does not distract me, but the scope at that point is effectively a duplex...

Its a subsonic load. Its good information for those that want versatility. There are also other powders, such as Blue Dot that one can use for supersonic, but lower noise or "report" loads. Again not for everybody, but some reloaders like to have these options.

Very pleased with the full sized P320 in .40. A soft shooter for a 40.

+1 if they would have based it on one of the .32's. The idea being to provide a semi-auto alternative that was reloadable to the .22RF.

I never liked Sigs or HK's (respected them, just didn't like the big clunky boat anchors of the past.) However, a Sig P320 does have my interest, but in 45ACP. Too bad Walther never released a P99 or PPQ in 45, ... wishful thinking. I would like a striker fired 45, and I'm looking forward...

I have always been partial to these: Remington 552 Speedmaster Shoots any flavor of .22 less than the .22 Magnum.

Not sub-sonic, but there are loads out there that are what I call "low report" loads that may work for you; especially on coyotes. These loads use 45 to 60 grain bullets, and powders such as Trail boss, Clays, Blue Dot, etc. I have workable loads for a 52 gr. Speer BTHP that uses 14.0...

I'll second what Skyshot said above. I also have had good results with IMR 4350 and 139 to 145gr. bullets and RL22 and 160 to 175 grain bullets. If the Ruger continues to be +1 MOA, consider getting action bedded and maybe free float the barrel. My previous experience with a 7mm Ruger, it...

If you have a .223, you can load it using 35 to 55 grain bullets and Blue Dot. Start at 5.0 grains for a .22 RF equivalent load. Can go up to 13 or 14 grains, but doing so will push the bullet at rifle velocities (2800 to 3000 fps). I really wish there was a reloadable equivalent to the...

Blue Dot 9.5 to 10.7 The 10.7 is from a Hercules Manual, so the information is a bit dated. I think I stayed around 10.0 grains of Blue Dot, which might be on the upper end of moderate. 10.7 was shown in the Hercules Manual to be 1490 f/s; so a bit hotter than moderate; almost up there...
