Just tested the 13.5gr 2400 load in both pistol and carbine length gas in 16" barrels and it locked back both BCGs!
I wouldn't mind trying this load on a coyote!

Doubt it would do the same with 6gr Trail Boss!

1894cfan

Thanks, Ray. Hodgdon's site gives a load of 6gr Trail Boss with 150gr FMJs, so might give that load a start with the 86 grainers and see what happens. BTW, the way the TB meters out of my powder measure, I've gone to hand weighing each charge. As for the 2400, might as well try my favorite .357 158g...

Have several boxes of Hornady's 30 Mauser 86grRNs and would like to try loading in 300BLK. Anybody got any suggestions on loadings? Don't care if they cycle the action or not. Got unique, trail boss, 2400, h110/296. BTW, they do feed from the magazine of an AR when seated to the cannelure and crimpe...

Jeff Cooper talked the talk and walked the walk! NOW, can we get back to the thread subject!?

It's been reported that Russia has shelters for MILLIONS of its citizens! The US? SQUAT! 'Cause that's all yer gonna have time for before the missiles hit!

1894cfan

If I remember right, Hutchin's next project was supposed to be about Hollywood pedophiles! What better way to set her up for a killing than a WESTERN movie set??????????

Bingo. And if so, what it really amounts to.

Likely, as happens all too often these days, just a slap on the wrist!

EVERY time I handle my firearm without touching the trigger, it fails to fire!

Thanks, Ray. Got one ordered.

Also, back then nobody gave a second thought about posting a gun for sale in the daily newspaper! Don't dare do that now!

Bill, with only a quarter mile to go, did you just get out and hoof the rest of the way? I feel for you, NOBODY likes to admit that they got stuck in mud, not even me!

1894cfan

Gunny, be my guest. Let's see if we can make it an actual word!

Matter of fact, autoloaders ought to be called spitzers 'cause they spit brass everywhere!

I like a 1911 in 40 short & weak . Mostly because I already have thousands of rounds of 40 but oh yeah I hate chasing brass !

I call autoloaders spitzenbrass!

1894cfan

Bill, tell me that FICTIONAL story about the stuck truck. Please?

1894cfan

Yup, all that's true, but at least the aquifers are getting some water to replenish them.

1894cfan

OOPS! Looks like I was wrong, not for the first time, nor the last. Just watched Ian's Forgotten Weapons video on the 1866, it was chambered just in the Henry 44 rimfire, not the 44/40.

1894cfan

Now THAT has more style than my Glock 19!

Actually it's a G23, but I've got a 9mm conversion barrel for it.

1894cfan

Nope, PVT. Schulz. Check out Hickcock45's New Vaquero video on youtube. Made about 12 years ago.

1894cfan

Thanks, Six. Youtube's Wristwatch Revival shows taking apart and cleaning a 1919 Elgin pocket watch.

1894cfan

Six, THANK YOU for the pix of all your REALLY nice looking tools! BTW, what make of pocket watch is that? The closest thing I've got to an SAA is a Ruger New Vaquero in .357 just stuffed with Power Custom parts. What got me onto them was I just absolutely hated the original hammer that stuck up a co...

1894cfan

From what I've learned over the years, the first chamberings were 38/40, 44/40 and 45 Colt with 32/20 following soon afterwards. Let me know if I'm wrong. I think the Win 66 Yellowboy was the first chambered with 44/40 as the first centerfire.

What ever happened to the 45 SHORT Colt?

1894cfan

Guys, I was thinking the ORIGINAL three chamberings, you know, 38/40, 44/40 and 45 Colt.

But what you're all going on about is still interesting! Thanks for all jumping in. Hope it will keep going for a while, at least until it's beat to death!

1894cfan

Was just thinking about such things and had a thought...what with all the ballyhoo about 9mm Parabellum/40S&W/45 Auto defense cartridges, what's yer favorite Colt SAA cartridge, 38/40(40/38?), 44/40 or 45 LONG Colt, and why? I don't have one, but if I did, I'd go with 38/40 since my favorite aut...

1894cfan

Kinda hard to fit that in a saddle scabbard unless it had a 10rd mag. Then again, maybe even that is kinda pushing it, better make it a FIVE round mag.

1894cfan

It's too bad it's not chambered in that new fangled 38-40 cartridge, ie., 40S&W.

1894cfan

Didn't say I was anti-Christian, just anti Religion!

1894cfan

I have NO faith or trust for ANYONE in politics or religion! And as far as I'm concerned, the catholic church is one of the biggest scam artist on this planet, especially if it's a 501c3 church!

I'm the same way with ANYTHING!

1894cfan

Couple screws for the handguard and a couple screws for the gas block and clean it out. It's not like it's a Mini14 or 30 carbine. Besides, I put it together, I ought to be able to take it apart.

Had this mold for years and never really got around to using it in anything. So thought I'd see if I could find a load that would work in the 300 BLK cartridge. Went to the Hodgdon loading site and found a bullet that was closest to the 195gr that I get using Lyman #2 lead. The only load listed for ...

From what I've read so far, the older you get the more something HURTS! I'm about 67 and so far I've got SOME aches and pains, but nothing a beer or two or a shot or two of rum can't take care of.

1894cfan

Now that's gotta hurt!

1894cfan

I'll die when I die, and not one second before! Since EVERYBODY dies sooner or later, why worry about it. If someone trys to do me in before that, I'll try to do the same to them!
