Finally spoke to a guy at Nosler! He says their 210 will be good at 1800! They test/ have data for 1600 from pistol barrels. I mentioned I was using a Henry in 41, he had no idea such an animal was on the market. Seems he is a 41 fan as well, has been trying to get his hands on a Marlin but the auct...

GunnyMack

The 265 was developed for the 444, lots of people had that happen! My concern was exactly what you say, pistol bullets at rifle velocities. That's why I emailed Hornady and Sierra. Couldn't find an email address for Nosler. I keep forgetting to call Nosler. All 3 brands shoot very well, so my pick i...

GunnyMack

So I emailed Hornady back to question their answer for XTP velocity range. They say 1000-1400 FPS. My load is 1800 from the Henry. They tell me I'm pushing them well past what it is designed for. So I guess I better not shoot a deer that is under my stand or out to 75 yards or so! But on second thou...

Just looked at Gun parts website, I know the H.S. Flute King, have one in 410, they list parts, no barrels.

I'd still consider choke tubes or find the missing parts to complete existing comp

GunnyMack

Amen to that brother!!

I have been stocking for years, but I've been loading it as I go.

GunnyMack

Although I have never installed. Cutts, I have done screw in choke tubes. But that depends on wall thickness. Gotta have enough for threads to be cut. Colonial choke used to make a thin wall tube, not sure if they are still on the market. If it was me, I'd put tubes in (if walls are thick enough), m...

GunnyMack

6pt- you are better stocked then I am!

I have only used an XTP to take 1 animal, a big hog. I used my ruger .44 carbine and a 300 grainer. The shot was about 15-20 yards, it went in 44 came out about 1" pig walked about 10 yards and fell over. Double lung/ top of heart. I don't know what the velocity of that load was but I have alwa...

GunnyMack

After gaining chronograph data for my 41 mag load I contacted Seirra and Hornady. My load shows 1800+ FPS with 210 gr bullets. I was curious about velocity ranges that the Seirra Sportsmaster, Hornady XTP were designed for. Seirra says 1800- sure no problem, should do fine for deer. Hornady replies-...

GunnyMack

I don't have EXACT numbers, but from what I have heard, the first 3 days of the season( archery only) produced about 200 bears! Haven't heard about total for the six day season. We had a bear with a birth defect, causing it to only walk on hind legs, of course the media named it Peddels, well seems ...

GunnyMack

I loaded up Berry plated for sighting in, figured why waste good jacketed stuff... NOW I know better!!! Just glad I only bought a 100, I'll burn the rest of them through my Blackhawk. What really impressed me was the 500+ FPS gains with Lilgun over the 20" barrel length. I know you gain with a ...

GunnyMack

I tried Benchmark in 308 and 223, was not all that pleased with it. I found IMR 4895 was great in 223, yeah it's a pain in powder thrower but very accurate in my gun. CFE 223 was good too. Varget was poor results, just as soon pour it out and throw a match to it then developed loads for my other gun...

When 'her' husband was in office, any time she was getting on either Marine 1( helocopter) or Air Force 1 with out him the call sign was changed to BROOM STICK 1! She was probably the most hated of all first "ladies" . Have heard she is also the most foul mouthed berating all that were und...

This past Sunday morning I was up early enough to catch the Henry infomercial. As they were showing off the different models I thought to myself ' I wonder if they will put Dpris's torture test results on their website, or on the next infomercial. '

GunnyMack

I made the mistake of shooting plated bullets and that caused serious copper fouling.
After many hours scrubbing it has started to behave. Not only fouling minimized but groups shrank dramatically.

GunnyMack

Have slowly been reloading a bunch of military brass for use in my Armalite AR10. Picked up Winchester 150 FMJs to load. Finally settled on CFE223. Holds 5 shots under an inch @100. My 450 amazes me at how accurate that round is. Have tried IMR4227,Lil Gun, 5744, H110 and all shoot very close to the...

Long time ago we were in Quebec on a fishing trip, one of my buddies was portaging a canoe wham he stepped over a blow down ON to a sleeping bear. He went one way, the bear another way and the canoe went a third way!

GunnyMack

Hornady 8th edition has Lil Gun at 22.2 max for 1300 FPS from a 6" revolver, Henry 20" has added 500 FPS!!
CFE PISTOL loads are right at published vels for pistol length barrels- NO GAIN for lengths!!!

Looking at the book load for H110, I might be able to get 2000!!!

GunnyMack

Lots more Trump signs then HRC ( I can't type out that name) around here. Although I enjoy seeing the signs that say

Hillary for PRISON 2016

GunnyMack

Just back from the farm, took my Henry 41 to test velocities with a few different powders. Best vels were from Lil Gun. Lil Gun, 22 grains 210 gr JHP 1821 FPS average. Not quite to MAX charge. H110, 20 grains 210 gr JHP 1574 FPS average. 5744, 19.1 grains 210 JHP 1250 FPS average. Some unburned stic...

We can bait them, but we can't be any closer than 100 yards to the bait... This was our very first 'early' season, normally the season is first week on December. Now I'm not a biologist but I know that December is NOT the best time to bear hunt! From what I saw in the paper, the first 3 days of the ...

GunnyMack

So NJ finally gave us a 'better' bear season.the normal season is first week of December. We have had the past 5 days to either bow hunt( M,T,W) or bow/ muzzle loader (TH,F,S). I haven't been able to get out. I'm hoping to get in a tree and try to at least see how my luck goes. Taking my predator ca...

How about a 25-20, 32-20 LEVER GUN from Henry!! Oh heck, a 25-35 even !!

Finally read the GUNS article, not much info, no accuracy tests...

If I understand correctly, the center fire guns are built in WI, the rim fire are done in Bayonne.
I'm an hour or so west of there, been toying with the idea of sending him my resume...

I heard about the 410 but the single shot rifle is new to me. Guess I'll have to watch his infomercial.

Being on the east coast, is that the remains of a cyclone( our hurricane?) I'm not an old timer nor young of the year, worst storm I can remember was Sandy. Our power went out about 9 pm as the storm started getting bad, got the power back on 14 days and 14 hours later! My poor little generator was ...

GunnyMack

Cutting it down to what is the question! If you cut off just the choke section then you'll have a cyclinder bore 410. I have a 410 with a skeet choke, works fine for sporting, birds, slugs. Actually before non toxic shot was the law I shot many ducks with 3"#5's. A 410 will act like any other s...

GunnyMack

Latest issue of GUNS has a write up on that, haven't read it yet- HOLY COW, $1800 MSRP!!

GunnyMack

I got a used RWS MOD 45 years ago, guys kid tried to cock it, couldn't quite get it there and let go! That put enough bend in the barrel that you could see it bending upward. Sucker still shot tiny little groups tho! While I was in gummsmiff skool, I mentioned it to an instructor, he said bring it i...

GunnyMack

Failure to extract... I'm betting it's just so dirty that the extractor can't grab the rim. But still 21,000 rounds is nothing st sneeze at!

GunnyMack

NICE GROUPS! Many people have no idea how well a .22 can shoot at distance. While I lived in Colorado, 6200' elevation, my buddies and I sighted our .22's in at 100, shot them well past 200 on the prairie dog towns. Gave our CF's time to cool and it was a whole lot of fun, can watch your impacts and...

After my recent headaches with a brand new Henry 41, I had made the mistake of loading up Berry plated stuff that FOULED so badly I was getting same kinds of groups. I scrubbed with brushes, Sweets 762 and about 500 patches later I got 1 hole groups with a few different hand loads. Try a copper clea...

GunnyMack

Yeah, that is a 'condor zone' slug!!
It sure looks impressive although at 11 bucks a pop I'm sure they won't sell many of em!

So with a NW wind of 15-25 all day and a high temp of about 58 I decided to not go and chronograph loads today.
Was a good day to veg.

Thanks! I really took a shine to stock making, but could never checker- astigisims be darned! The Redheaded Stepchild was a great learning experience, much of what I learned in that course I apply everyday!

Bigbore442001, Couple years ago I picked up scent blocking pants & jacket, head cover. Saw a big difference in how the deer acted. Last year I ran across a product called HECS. It is a very simple suit that blocks your electrical signals. I was skeptical until I watched some videos on their webs...

GunnyMack

Griff, I'm SCOPED on the 41. Trying to figure out my load for NY deer season.
Having only been to Vegas once, was too young to hit the casinos I don't remember much other then seeing Wayne Newton's lawn on the approach into the airport. The ONLY green around! I much prefer the high mountian desert!

GunnyMack

Here in NW (ugh) Jersey, having some wind and a little rain watching the Weather Channel I'm wondering how everyone has ridden out the storm. Hope everyone is safe.

Hope to chronograph some 41 loads today, check tree stands for tomorrow's bear archery opener.

GunnyMack

Yes please ask! I'd like to know as well.

GunnyMack

Check out gun parts, they may have both barrels and stocks.

Those actions are strong! like the Mausers, STRONG LIKE BULL- SMART LIKE DUMP TRUCK.

GunnyMack

Tm an- I have heard on more then one. Occasion that Odumo owns SMITH & WESSON stock, A LOT OF IT! Can't confirm it but it shows the hypocrisy of the anti vile scum... What don't they understand about our constitution!?!?!!!!!!!!

GunnyMack

Yes, looters shot and left so the rest of the morons can see what's about to happen to them!
I praise every home owner/ business owner that stands their ground to stop those types!

GunnyMack

After getting my 41 worked out, I'm thinking about a 44& a357... Now a 22 as well! This is gonna get expensive!!!

GunnyMack

I doubt the head space will change. Accuracy on the other hand could go either way.
I'm so impressed by your efforts DPRIS! I'm waiting to see a post about breaking something. But also hoping it doesn't! Keep up the great work!

The "old" style for mounting scopes on 22's use 3/8 dovetail rings. Can also use air gun rings. Easy enough to find, any of the gun shops in your area probably have a set.

I think the SS barrel and aluminum are galling against each other while chambering. Stainless can be funny characters. Could try to polish the chamber but not easy on a lever gun without a real long polishing rod. Does your blued gun chamber the specials? Could be just minor difference in feed ramp,...

Not old but here are a couple interesting shootin irons of mine. Ruger SINGLE SIX converted to 44 special. New 5 shot cylinder, 4" barrel, large spur hammer. Was my fishin vest gun when I lived in CO. What I (we) think started life as a Zoli shotgun. This was a box of parts when I got it. Had t...
