Pat Riot Posted December 19, 2016 Author Posted December 19, 2016 Rooster, that was kind of what I was thinking. I have always worn glasses but these past few years I am kind of max'd out on magnification for my glasses so I need all the help I can get. :-) Quote
J.W. Sinclair Posted December 19, 2016 Posted December 19, 2016 I'm glad you found you a rifle. I hope you enjoy it! 1 Quote
Jabez Cowboy,SASS # 50129 Posted December 20, 2016 Posted December 20, 2016 I have loaded mine with a 300 gr. Speer Plated soft nose bullet to 1,540 fps for use on our big Whitetails , sure does the job.... Jabez Cowboy Quote
Pat Riot Posted December 20, 2016 Author Posted December 20, 2016 Wow Jabez, I'll bet it does! :-) What powder do you use? Not looking for recipe, as that is frowned upon, just the powder name. I have read that H110 is a popular one. I have no experience with that one. Quote
Trailrider #896 Posted December 20, 2016 Posted December 20, 2016 For mid-range and CAS loads, depending on bullet weight, W231/HP38, Unique or Hodgdon's Universal, 2400 with hotter loads and heavier bullets. Always check the handbooks (several). Quote
Rooster Ron Wayne Posted December 20, 2016 Posted December 20, 2016 Wow Jabez, I'll bet it does! :-) What powder do you use? Not looking for recipe, as that is frowned upon, just the powder name. I have read that H110 is a popular one. I have no experience with that one. You can make mildly hot loads to Cowboy loads with Unique . I say it all the time , Unique is a Smokless answer to BP. You can load anything with Unique . Quote
Widder, SASS #59054 Posted December 20, 2016 Posted December 20, 2016 I have loaded mine with a 300 gr. Speer Plated soft nose bullet to 1,540 fps for use on our big Whitetails , sure does the job.... Jabez Cowboy INDEED. I get these results using a few different powders like H110, AA9, and my favorite..... LilGun. ..........Widder Quote
Pat Riot Posted December 21, 2016 Author Posted December 21, 2016 I shot my new tifle today. Man is it sweet. I shot some cowboy loads and some different jacketed factory rounds including the Leverevoltion rounds and this gun is more accurate than i am with all of them. The faster loads hit point of aim. The cowboy loads shot a little high but nice tight groups! I have a definite keeper on my hands :-) Thanks for the powder advice. Looks I wil be getting out my cookbooks...yeehaw! 1 Quote
Rooster Ron Wayne Posted December 21, 2016 Posted December 21, 2016 Glad you like it . I knew you would. Now you are thinking , Why did I stay with my 94 for so long lol. Quote
Pat Riot Posted December 21, 2016 Author Posted December 21, 2016 I am just a little stubborn Rooster :-) Quote
