    Tracking has my brass on its way should get here Friday and with the data from the rifle free bore I should have a much better start at making a better bullet and hopefully a better grouping

    45 cal elr

    Don't underestimate the energy the lighter powder charges carry .my dad only runs a 245 Powerbelt and a 100 gr charge its not supposed to be good for elk but I've seen two hit the dirt one at 90 plus and the other at 40 neither went much more than 40 yds after accuracy over power .I'd do shoot a heavy load in my 50 tho a 338 and 150 gr is what one likes .here is the elk shot at 40

    45 cal elr

    The Teflon trick I learned on another forum it works great .I think the elr is so far ok the boys at gunwerks are running them in there high dollar muzzy and I haven't heard to much on another option with a high bc .I wish I'd have learned the Teflon trick sooner I've got antiseaze in the threads of one of my guns and its a pain in the butt as it traps the powder in there with it and is hard to remove once its in there .I've got the paramount pro in 45 so my loads are much hotter it will run 112 gr by weight or 160 gr by volume .with out a break its a heck of a lot of recoil.start low and build for accuracy .

    Anybody know these thieves

    A couple pics at a few places and some one will definitely know who it is the pics don't lie.pretty Shi tty to teach your kids that .it's a bad thing when you need GPS tracking on the stuff you put out to hunt with.

    Blackhorn is more responsive than pyrodex or 777 so blackhorn has a site and recommendations for powder charges don't count on the tube markers to be accurate if you can weigh charges at 100 gr by volume is 70 gr by weight 120 gr volume a max charge probably for your gun is 84 gr by weight. Use Teflon tape on the breach plug threads to prevent stuck plugs and you can use your standard cleaning supplies when running Blackhorn .your gun and your shoulder will let you know what it likes for powder weight.make sure you have the breach plug for blackhorn its different.depending on location I can give you a hand I've got 5 muzzys. I'm in Gilbert

    45 cal elr

    Good to know the 45 cal works . I had a buddy run a 50 cal elr in a accura on elk and had the copper jacket come apart on the entry side .might be because he used the wrong seater and might have had an effect.

    My understanding is to start .05 back for copper

    Unit 6a rifle antelope tag holder !

    6a has some nice lopes we've glasses them up on several elk hunts they tend to stay in the same basic spot and if you get enough elevation they are easy to spot but there out there a few miles
  14. That's funny and Awsome at the same time poor kid.hopefully next year we can get a volunteer in Tucson.

    Reloading for longrange neck size or full size?

    I'm not sure what class he shot ill have to ask him in November when we are hunting pigs in California.I do remember him trying to get my older brother into 22 comps but my brother couldn't hit the broad side of a barn.its funny to me cause he lived with my dad and I with my mom .he was around guns all the time and still can't shoot .my mom was anti gun so I never was around them till I bought my first gun a ruger 95 9mm at 26 or 27 followed by a 870 still have the 870 and a lot more!!! I'm a firm believer in if you have guns your kids need to know how to handle them and always be safe. Thanks dad for the guns
