Got around to sighting in the Williams peep sight using the Core-Lokt 170’s. I’m happy. Took 5 shots at 50 yards. Last 2 were perfect considering my 70 year old eyes. Crisp hole cuts so no tumbling. Micro groove magic!

Hoping problem solved. I tried Core Lokt 170 grain HPs today and they cut a clean hole. It appears the heavier grain, flat base and fatter nose equates to more bullet touching the grooves. I installed a Williams peep sight tonight and will see if they’ll dial in. It will be a few days.

I “slugged” it today and it measured at exactly 308. I suppose the problem in past may have been shape of the bullet. The 160 grain Hornady Lever ammo are more like boat tails and will not stabilize in a 20” Microgroove barrel. today, I bought a box of Remington 170 grain HPs which appear to...

I read a couple of the old threads but wanted to clarify a couple of things. I noticed reloaded recommendations to use a .311 diameter bullet but all of the reloading manuals use .308 diameter Bullet. Two questions: 1. will my 1963 Marlin fire .311 bullets? 2. should I count on needing...

Bought a new Axis ii Precision Rifle. Has 1:7 twist and 22” barrel. Using various factory ammo, I think it will like 70-77 grain long bullets. I have a box of ELD 75 match bullets. Any recommendations on A. Primer B. Powder

All great stuff. I’ll load a few soon

I suppose the real question is whether a barrel length 2” shorter (22”) than the load data test barrel (24”) measurably affect the loads? I did read an opinion that one should use faster powders on shorter barrels but nothing on powder volume.

Caliber is 243 Win. With powder and bullet shortages, let’s assume all I have is Ramshot Hunter powder and Nosler Accubond 90 grain tipped boat tail bullets. All load data seems to be for 1:10 twist in a 24-inch barrel. my Model 70 is also 1:10 but only has a 22-inch barrel. Question: Given...

Lovin this stuff. I have some Hornady XTP 158 gr. Starting with Federal Small Mag pistol primers. My Hodgdon magazine says 15 to 16.7 of H110 so I will start at 15.5, then 16 grains and take it from there. THANKS. PS. I’ve got a 6.5 inch Blackhawk that might get to play too.

Please

I’m back to everything 357 Magnum including a new Marlin 1894C chambered in 38/357. Rate of twist 1:16 in an 18 1/2 inch barrel. Gimme your best load, bullet type and powder to take a Hill Country whitetail at 50 to 75 yards.

Sorry. 20” barrel

Factory ammo. 160 grFTX 2400 FPS at muzzle. 1:10 twist. 18” barrel

Please note the picture of entry holes from Hornady Lever 160 grain ammo. I’m shooting a 1963 Marlin 336 lever. Any suggestion on hand loading heavier or lighter or?

Smith and Wesson model 627-3 8 Times in 357 Magnum

I'm lovin all the input. Summarizing: Pros: Agile, reliable system, tough, cool looking, fun to shoot, good for a truck gun, will kill, best if used with peep/ghost sight Cons: Not match accurate as a bolt or quality AR, not good with a scope Unknowns: can be temper mental, need to formulate...

I have granddad’s Marlin 30-30. I wear glasses and I struggle with the butterfly open sights. Trying to decide between Ghost rings or Williams peep sight. A concern of mine with peep sight is low-light situations.....not being able to pick up the target. Anyone have real experience with...

Thanks so much for all the input. I will probably get one because there appears to be consensus that its a good choice for a ranch gun for the cab. Don’t want to worry about knocking off a scope. AR’s are too bulky for me. Hope to report back once I play with it and take a stab at custom...

i'm considering purchasing a Mini 14 or Mini 30. However, I've read where there were negative accuracy issues in older models with better results on the newer models. Can anyone speak with accurate (excuse the pun) information and intel?

Quality firearm with extraordinary good looks. I say it’s a must for revolver lovers.
