I won't give you my load however, the only powders that work accuracy wise in my 357 are the "slow" powders. 158 grain bullets are more accurate than the lighter ones also. If you search long enough you will find reliable slow powder charges for 38 special. I use 158 XTP'S and 2400 in 357 cases.

I would get a .223 but, be mindful of twist rates. I once HAD a remington 700 . Twist was a one in twelve. Heaviest bullet it would stabilize was a 52 gr. which was useless for me. I believe savages have a one in nine . That would let you use up to 69 gr.

It's my favorite rifle for short range hunting. Flat points for hogs,hollow points for deer.

I'm sure you are referring to one inserted into the chamber but, if you mean one at the end of the barrel as in revolvers or lever guns, then you can make your own. At right is store bought. The other two are cut off bottle neck rifle cases

I've had a Solo almost three years now. Zero issues with all bullet profiles and weights.

You're right!

You are not generating enough chamber pressure with those powders. Use 4895, varget, 748. Red dots are not for precision work

I purposely shot a common house fly with a .223 @ 100 yards.

Yes

I use Red Dot for 44 special and subsonic cast 30/30 loads.

A long time ago I started shooting 1000 yard matches. An old high master told me that 10X was plenty. Any thing with more power would be affected by mirage. He sold me an old Weaver T10 with external turret adjustments. It has more than enough elevation for long range and I didn't have to buy a...

I once had a deer go about 80 honest yards before it died. Not a single solitary drop of blood. Blind luck I happened to find him. It ran into thick woods.

This year I used a Ruger 44 carbine. I took two deer . Load was a max charge of H110 and a 240 hp. Both fell 10 yards from where they were standing. Good choice for short range, in the woods hunting.
