Has anyone loaded for it, and have advice or good loads/powders? I am planning to load the 123gr. HorNady SST in Lapua cases. My cz527 shoots the Hornady steel case ammo with this bullet pretty well so I thought about trying to load it since I have some Lapua cases already. Thanks Harley

I went to the range today and ran the new loads. I used lil' gun ranging from 12.1 gr to 13.3gr. From the feel test these loads have some oomph. I don't have a crono so I don't know for sure. My gun is a 4.25" commander length 1911 with steel frame. It seemed the loads in the 12.7 range were the best compromise on speed, recoil, and powder burn. The highest loads got pretty dirty with alot of unburned powder. I had one pop off the extractor too, so I am going to keep the loads a little more tame. The cases didn't show signs of pressure.

Does anyone have any good loads for 38 super? I am looking to shoot 124gr XTP bullets at factory or faster velocity. The gun is a Kimber 4.25" pro-carry with steel frame and fully supported chamber. All stock, no comp. I am planning to shoot this gun on my HAM javelina hunt next month.

My first loads are in the box, now I need to get to the range and test them out. My javelina hunt that I plan to use this rifle on is in about a month. I can't wait! Lapua brass RL7 Powder WLR primer Hornady 123gr SST

My dad and his buddies went deer hunting as often as they could get drawn. They were more about drinking beer than hunting it seemed like, and they were not serious hunters. After my dad and his buddies group of friends grew apart we started hunting with just me and him. We were more about the hunting but still didn't know much about hunting. Hiking those hills when I was young and hunting is what got me to love it. I am trying to get better now that I know better, and I now have my own kids I am going to try and do what my dad did for me plus be better at the actual hunting part. I love my dad and I wish he was still capable of being in the woods with me so he could enjoy it with my kids. My 5 year old went dove hunting with me for the first time this year, and he is probably going javelina hunting for the first time with me this year.

They are "volunteers". They actually do like to help which is cool.

He is old enough for slave labor! My 5 year old helped me mount the vise and reloading press on the workbench this afternoon. I started arranging my reloading area, and the started the slow process of reloading 38 super on a single stage press. He is sizing and decapping, and I am cleaning primer pockets. We switch occasionally, and he seems to be enjoying it sofar.

Thank you. I am looking for a bdc reticle. Thanks though.

Standard duplex reticle in the blued scope? Is the spotter prett clear?

If you have got a round that is sub MOA in a hunting rifle you are doing pretty good. Without a tight tolerance gun chasing things like neck turning seems to probably be way far down the list of things to chase.

I sized my Nosler brass before use. Just a quick run through the sizer and they were good to load. No reason not to take a couple min to run through the sizer die.

Any buck, even a "dink" buck is a good buck especially if it is your first. Congrats on getting it done.

1911 in .38 super is what I am going to take on my first HAM hunt this year. 124gr hornady XTP is what I am going to try.

I enslaved, er I mean recruited more help. I am now loading 7.62x39 for my rifle javelina hunt. The 5yr old is cleaning primer pockets, and the 2yr is helping me size and decap.

I had a 16ga 870 express about 15 years ago that did the same thing. They had me send it back and polished the chamber. It helped, but still needed to break in.

I am not to concerned about it for javelina, but I normally carry this same pistol on most of my big game hunts as a close range weapon and defense weapon if necessary. I want to get a nice load that has some oomph to it. I know that getting a round up in the 1300 FPS range shouldn't be hard, but I want to make sure I am using a good combination and do it safely. I have found some info on Lil' Gun that I am going to use. I am going to start around 12.5gr and work up and see where it goes with pressure, accuracy, and recoil. I am seeing info that 14.0gr should be roughly the max load. I am just looking to get a little more oomph than factory ammo will provide without having to pay the price for Underwood or Buffalo Bore or something expensive.

I looked at a bunch of the Comp stuff, but during the readings I also found them saying a lot that it matter if the gun was compensated or standard barrel. The compensated guys appear to be willing to shoot heavier loads with less pressure issues. I think I am going to try some load work ups with Lil' Gun and HS6 since I have both in my powder supply right now. Worse case scenario I go buy a box of Winchester Silvertip HP's and go after slaying a piggy. I know they shoot well in my gun, but I was hoping to get a load with a little more oomph just for fun. 1250FPS from a 5" gun isn't great, especially since I have a 4.25" gun.

2014 was a good year and and Dan Wesson 10mm would be awesome. I am looking heavily at the new Ruger 1911 in 10mm and also the Kimber TLE in 10mm. One of the 2 will be my next pistol.

How about 7e early rifle cow with 3 resident BP. Thank you.

The meat shop in south phoenix does whole pigs. A customer of mine said there is another shop in the same area that does whole pigs too. He used to do them alot for tailgate parties.

Can I get odds on 7E early rifle antlerless, 7E late rifle bull, and 7E late rifle antlerless with resident 3 points please?

I bought the alien gear combo and thought it was great. I bought a paddle holster & IWB holster for my Sig 2022 as the combo and the value is outstanding. I also bought a 1911 shell so I can switch either holster to carry my 1911 if I choose to. I have had them for about a year, and other than the screws loosening occasionally, they are great. Locktite the screws as mentioned and you will be fine. I like that I can just buy extra shells for other guns and use the same holsters for everything if I choose. If you sell the gun for the holster, you can just send the shell back to Aliengear and they will send you a new one for your new carry gun. Or you can just buy the shells outright. I also found that my old Sig P250 fits great in the same shell I use for the 2022 so I don't even need another shell for that one because it is so similar in size and shape. I previously had a Bladetech UCH which I LOVED. They stopped making that holster though, and when I finally broke the UCH after about 7 years I wanted another. I couldn't get the same holster so I decided to try Alien Gear on advice from a friend. I am glad I did. I got the 2 holsters from Alien gear for about the same price as the single holster from Bladtech would have cost. That said, I did really like my bladtech too.

Tags in the unit I have been hunting got cut WAY back which is good. The unit has been getting tougher over the last few years.

The draw odds and success rate page is all jacked up. Hunts are showing 800% success rates and really low draw odds...

Alien gear is what I am using now and really like.
