I have to admit that this cartridge reminds me a lot of the .30 Herrett’s and the writing about that cartridge many years ago

Scott Tschirhart

Everyone tells me that I need to try Universal Clays. But I have never seen that powder on the shelf.

I like Unique and I shoot a lot of it. Pretty much all I load in the .45 Colt and.44 Special.

I am willing to try same but the deer have to cooperate which apparently they are loathe to do....I may have to go on one of those tennessee or florida canned hunts.....

I watched a number of deer this year but didn’t kill one. No shortage of opportunity.

Scott Tschirhart

Just in case.

But no, it doesn’t need a thousand dollars worth of glass to be useful. This 3x prism scope is just right.

Scott Tschirhart

Could be. I just used the Bullseye loads today and it was so easy to clean up. No hard fouling at all and the bore looked clean. A dry patch took all residue out

Scott Tschirhart

I find that this rifle likes the 120 gr Barnes loading better. The box says 2100 fps but I’m sure that’s from a longer barrel.

When I go back to the Cherry Bomb it will cut off another inch or so. I have a Q Trash Panda waiting for permission from the government.

Scott Tschirhart

It’s amazing how compact this is.

I’m sorry about that! Hopefully one day that will change.

I’ve seen folks shot with a variety of guns over the years. I’ve never seen anyone who took a load of buckshot to the torso that stayed in the fight.

Scott Tschirhart

I shot 42 rounds this morning with no binding at all. 3 gr of Bullseye and a 158 gr TC flat point. It might be that the 5 gr Unique load was the culprit.

Scott Tschirhart

This is from the longest shot you can take inside my house.

Scott Tschirhart

This was two shots at 100. Not bad for a 4 1/2 pound rifle.

Scott Tschirhart

I’ve killed a number of deer and hogs with the.300 Blackout now and I really like it for the ranges that I hunt in South Texas. Let’s say out to 200 yards. I’ve been playing around with a Q Mini Fix which is a short bolt action with an 8 inch barrel and a 1/5 twist rate. A great gun for use with a s...

Scott Tschirhart

That hollow based 230 gr .45 bullet really has my attention. If it performs as advertised it should shoot well even in older Colts.

Scott Tschirhart

Thanks guys. I might be on the right track.

If they shoot well, they are actually cheaper than what I am currently shooting

Scott Tschirhart

I talked with the guy earlier today and he seems like a really good fellow who was interested in helping me find a solution to my FA97 fouling issues.

I placed an order and he’s sending me samples of some other bullets that might work well.

Scott Tschirhart

I like those front sights.

Scott Tschirhart

Is anyone using these bullets in their leverguns or sixguns?

I’m interested in the coating and how well it works.

Besides, these look downright sexy!

Scott Tschirhart

I’m not sure. Might need to try a different recipe.

Scott Tschirhart

Never let a crisis go to waste, even if you have to create it.

That seems to be the goan of the government.

This is a far cry from a government by, of and for the people.

Scott Tschirhart

. I just get nervous having to sort and track two different power-levels of loads, and the slightly thicker metal of the 444 in most actions vs the 45-70 makes me more comfortable with that cartridge. Realistically, if you blindfolded me (and probably most shooters), and had us shoot 444 vs 45-70, ...

Scott Tschirhart

These guns look really good. Particularly for the price. I doubt if they will stay so reasonable for very long.

I’ve nothing against Muslims. Though I admit that I don’t know many of them. The Worshipful Master in my Masonic Lodge in Waco was a Muslim at one point and he was as good a man as you will meet. I knew a Muslim businessman in Del Rio who showed me more hospitality in his home than any Christian eve...

I’m not a part of this club, but I think we are seeing a lot of people jumping on the bandwagon starting on December 6 2023 or so when we started seeing news reports in all the major outlets. Chris Swecker, former Assistant Deputy Director for the FBI was one of the first to start ringing the alarm ...

Scott Tschirhart

I don’t see this as any of our business.

How can our President dictate when, where or how anyone worships? Particularly when the place is not within the boundaries of the United States.

Scott Tschirhart

Ouch!!!!

Scott Tschirhart

Scott, that is the nasty old Remington dish-based that came lubed some kind of black goo and they shot very well for me, not to mention they looked like they came from the 19th century. True enough. The Remington load is on the left and my handload is on the right. My load clocks an average of 764 ...

Scott Tschirhart

It’s a shame that Remington discontinued selling these bullets.

Scott Tschirhart

I shoot that Hornady bullet over 8 gr of Unique which seems to duplicate the Remington .45 Colt factory load.

It shoots clean and is accurate in my carbine and my SAA. I probably don’t need anything more.

Scott Tschirhart

Watch this and see what you think.

The biggest problem with religion is treating those who are considered "in" differently than those who are considered "out." Jesus didn't do that. He treated the hookers and the drunks and the tax people the same way He treated everyone else and they loved Him and followed Him. ...

I think the real winners might be those who didn’t have time to watch the game.

Agree!

Scott Tschirhart

Is poi a problem for you with those fixed sights and magnums? Ive always wanted a fixed sight 83 I had to file quite a bit off the front sight to get it to shoot to the sights with my loads, but it’s not a problem. The sights are filed for a 158 gr jacketed bullet over 14.5 gr 2400. Point of impact...

Only gun I ever had that happen with was a S&W 422. After about a half brick it would stutter while feeding.

Only around 60 rounds or so.

Scott Tschirhart

I’ve used small rifle primers in .357 Magnum loads for more than 30 years. I don’t think I’ll ever change.

I probably haven't shot that many rounds in a session to run into that problem with mine.

I did not shoot this group. (Wish I could shoot like that)

The group is the test target that came with the revolver.

Scott Tschirhart

I was out on the ranch yesterday and I took a number of sixguns. However, when I got there I started shooting that little 97 in .38/.357 and really didn’t want to shoot anything else. I was shooting an 8 inch plate at 25 yards, just seeing how many times I could hit without missing it. But it was li...

Scott Tschirhart

There are "better" bullets available now, for certain applications. But don't forget what has been done with them in the past. And it wasn't because humans were weaker then than they are now! All the wars between the 1860's and now saw roundnose bullets being used, first in rifles and han...

That’s fine shooting for any Pistolero my friend.

Scott Tschirhart

Following up on this, I used to shoot a Lyman government bullet in a .45-70 which was 520 or so grains at 1100 fps. Even when shot into a very resistant material like wet newspaper, it would penetrate so straight that you could run a rod through the bullet path. Prior to that, I shot a Marlin with a...

I bought several flats of Tula large pistol primers during the first primer scare. I loaded most of them in .45 ACP and .44 Special cases. Never saw any reason to change.

Scott Tschirhart

I’ve been loading a year’s supply of .38 Special.

After that , I’m planning on loading some .357 and going back to loading .44 Special.

But it isn’t a marathon chore for me as I have a Dillon.

Scott Tschirhart

I found some shotgun track locks that have been used in police cars.

That got me to thinking about mounting one of these behind the console on my pickup…..hmmm?

I’ve started turning my smart phone off at appropriate times.

Interestingly we caught a guy who committed multiple murders in Chicago down here in Natalia Texas a couple of weeks ago…..tracking him by cell phone.

Scott Tschirhart

I’m no expert but I find that some older bullet designs penetrate in a straight line. Keith bullets and LBT LFNs do this as do the older Lyman designs for the .45 Colt and .45-70. The 270 SAA seems to track straight as well. Sounds like you made a clean kill and the bullet did its job but I would al...

I love a hammer gun.

Me too. About my age too.
