Thanks! Ron

Hey All, Who shoots one of these? I have solved the #11 issue (have a Musket and 209 Nipple). I need some advice on a load combo - 1. Powder or Pellets (which, how much etc.) 2. Projectile - A. Ball/Patch (it's a 1 in 28 so???) B. PowerBelt (I shoot 270 Platinums in...

AJumbo - I played with .710s in my Beretta, patched with .015 ticking and backed with 75 gr. of FFg. At twenty yards, the ball penetrated four 2x6 planks and lodged in the fifth. Actual "gauge" dimensions vary not just from maker to maker, but from gun to gun from the same maker, so mike...

Cosmoline - Quote: I use two lubed patches. tried three but they were too tight How thick were the patches? If you're already at two patches with the .690" roundballs, you might do better getting slightly larger roundballs. .715" or .710" Either that or use .018" or .020" pillow...

StrawHat - Why are you mixing the two propellants? *********************************************** No particular reason; I just had a 1/2 bottle of each :) :p :D ;)

Jaymo - Nice. I've always liked SxS doubles. I absolutely love my 20 gauge Howdah pistol. I want 1 each, Pedersoli 10 gauge, 12 gauge, 20 gauge, 12 gauge coach gun, 12 gauge slug gun, and Kodiak .72 caliber double rifle. I don't want much. At the last gun show I want to, back in '09...

I love the way it shoots... Hellgate - Yes, I use 50/50 Pyro & T7, though about a Buck-N-Ball secondary load; and or a Buckshot Load. Cosmoline - I need to shoot it more to determine a pattern & POI, Hellgates 1/2 Ball & 1/2 Buckshot is in line with my thinking, I use two lubed...

Hey All, Anybody shooting a smoothbore in .69 caliber? I picked up my NEW (to me) CVA Dbl Bbl 12g last week, loaded it with 70 Grains 1/2 & 1/2 Pyro / T7 under a double lubed patched .690 grain lead ball. Seemed to patern well at 50 paces but I want to see what it will max out at...

Hey All, I want to work up loads for my new (to me) CVA Double Barrel 12g... So any insights into this would be appreciated! See you in the woods... Ron

.357 - Deer .44 Mag - Hog .454 Casull - Bear All - 2 legged THUGS :)

NICE!

Hey All, My New (to me) H&R Handi which started it's life as a 45LC was re-worked and now shoots .460 S&W, .454 Casull, .45 Schofields in addition to .45LC's is on it's way to me. I too plan to use this Carbine (20" Barrel) rifle in the woods of North Georgia for Bear Hunting which I...

Hey All, I just picked up a XHR in 300 Win Mag... Anyone have any experience with one? I am scoping it and headed to the range to prepare for a two week hunting vacation in Alabama - the Rut Hits week after Christmas and the first week of January... Holding it; it is the...
