What Deerslayer said... We used to load 12 ga AA trap loads on the 600 jr... Ya cant beat em... leroy...

Yeaah...!!! I like it Brother... admirin leroy...

Yup...! The 1980's... a 300 win mag Remington 40x single shot turnbolt with a Redfield 3200 16x scope... leroy...

Buy it..! Nothin greater... It is the father of all the 30 caliber mags and the 7 mm mag. Extra long action like a 375 H&H. The 300 H&H ruled the long range target ranges (... Think 1000 yds...) before the short mags like the wildcat 30 x 338 and the 300 win mag. Winchester built a " Bull Gun " specifically for the 1000 shooting matches. When i wuz target shootin back in the eighties, we looked for the old H&H, ya could never find one...The above is the reason why. Simply said, they are accurate and hard hitting out to astonishing ranges. They held most all the long range accuracy records until the short magnums came out. They are, indeed, a stupendous piece of long range rifle history... admirin leroy... Retired amateur rifleman and 300 H&H lover... The best i ever did wuz a 300 win nag 40X.

Another bunch of overbearing woke " Ba*$!@ds " to despise... Sigh... leroy.

JHP45... Thanks Brother... I'm impressed with the Lancer mags nyself... leroy...

JHP... How many rounds didya get in the 10 and 30 round Lancers..? Any failures to feed..? Thanks a bunch... leroy...

RE:... 458, 50 Beowulf, 450 Bushmaster... I think they are all basically the same thing. I chose the 450 Bushmaster because i like the .452 bore thing and i like that Hornaday gave em a push ( as well as Remington ). By the way, my barrel is from Ballistic Advantage; i like these guys alot... When i bought my 450 barrel and bolt, the 458 and the 50 Beowulf were " proprietary " cartridges n designs; controlled by their inventors, which made em too expensive for my taste... Tippu Jutsu (458) and Alexander (50 Beowulf ) were botique insiders with a cult following, and i dont like that on its face; but that's just me. The 450 appealed to me on another level as well... When ya get ta looking at the loadings and the energies developed by the 450, they look alot like a long barreled 454 Casull, which is where i think all this came from. I also like the straight walled case of the 450... Havin said all that, there is 50 Beowulf brass and dies down stairs in the reloading room...HEHEHE; and ive got a hogged out ejection port upper layin around as well... As to components, bullets in particular; the 450 is best by far. The 50 bullets n 458 bullets are more limited in selection and are expensive ta boot... Hornaday did the big bore AR and 450 hunting fraternity a great service with their great bullet selection fir the 450... Hope this helps explain a bit... leroy...

I got the Walkers...Got ta thinkin about the " in the ear " thing.. Ear plugs n ear buds tend ta irritate my ears... I'm liking the ear muffs best... Thanks a bunch for all the help. leroy.

It dont matter... Pick one. If ya can shoot straight, the critter ya shoot will never know the difference... leroy...

Maroon. RE...Recommend a trickler? ... I like the RCBS trickler. They used ta be cast aluminum. Plenty heavy enough n smooth. Have trickled a bunch of 300 win mag loads thru em .. leroy.

An old time problem with stick powder and these powder measures. We always threw em a bit light, then trickled em on the scales to the exact weight... All the vari volume powder measures have this problem... Sigh... leroy

Rob... I load 173 grain semi wadcutters in 38 special cases for my 357 mag Ruger sheriff with 12.0 grains of 2400 regularly... It is my "carryin load " for this pistola... Its a variant of the old 38 special hi speed loads used before the 357 wuz introduced. They work like a charm. Avout 1100 fps out of the Ruger... leroy...

RE: " Optics" ... Can't give a good answer here... My 450 is iron sighted...That bein said; I would pick the one i liked... I like the low power long eye relief scopes ya use on big pistols and dangerous game rifles... They will stand the recoil just fine. I would stick with Nikon, Burris, Bushnell. leroy

Dirt... If ya really want ta use Green Dot ta use it up, i would use the 38 special data and simply ratio it up by the ratio of the case volumes. I use this trick from time to time with the 38/357 and other pistol calibers... By the way... DO NOT TRY THIS WITH RIFLE CARTRIDGES... I would start on the low side of the 38 special values and work up till i wuz satisfied by the performance of the recipe. The math based form of what i am sayin is this... (the 38 special recipe powder amount in grains) times (the 357 case volume/ 38 special case volume)... Another way is to look for an older lyman reloading gabdbook. Im guessin they seventies era handbooks had a recipe. leroy

Like Raoul said, nickel rifle brass is ok. A bit of extra slickness to make sure it feeds reliably in your weapon of choice... I used ta use it quite a bit in 222. Got a bunch of 300 BO now for my AR pistola. leroy.

Got one myself Brother. I like em because they are essentially a 454 Casull that ya can handle as a rifle. Im sure that, killin power wise, they are deadly as a drugstore. There is a pretty good selection of both ammo n reloading components available for em. I've got some prepped brass ready ta load myself. Gonna load em with some 300 grainers n Lil Gun.. Now for the bad news (...Which is minor...)... Ya need the ejection port milled out a bit on your upper if ya use a regular AR upper, or ya can just buy a pre milled one from AERO, if ya can find one. Ya also need a 450 Bushmaster bolt as well. The bushmaster cartridge head is different from a 556. I bought mine with the barrel i used... A Ballistic Advantage 16" as i remember. The second problem is (... Or wuz...) magazines. It may be a bit different now, but ya had to modify mags for em. I used the Lancer 30 rounders with a Sinclair single shot follower... That turns a $ 20 AR mag into a $45 one. Mag capacity goes down considerably. A 30 rounder will reliably feed 8 or 9 rounds as i remember. Finally, there is a 450 Bushmaster forum out there somewhere that helped me tremendously... Good luck... The Bushmaster is a great idea, especially now... leroy...

The truth of the matter is that you do, in fact, have the right to keep and bear arms... That said, it is on you to learn how to handle firearms safely and use em effectively if need be. One of the baser things about our capitalist system and the gun community and certain of those populating it is the tendency of " experts " to try to feather their business nests by proclaiming that " you aint responsible nor trained enough to handle a gun "... The inferred point us that they, in fact, are and they can help you for a FEE... This is called " salesmanship " and is OK... I say, in the old latin proverb: " Let the Buyer beware "... What aint OK is when those same " experts " lobby trashy polititians, local and otherwise, to enact laws restricting a constitutional right under the guise of " making us all safer "... I heartily join Brother Dave in his opinion that there are folks out there who need protection from thugs n predators now; many of whom aint overrun with extra dollars for " mandated training "... " Mandated training " is a crock in today's atmosphere and the Tennessee political class well knows it. Personal safety is the supreme thought on every citizen and citizen gun owner's mind now. Welcome to Dodge City, where everybody is armed and edgy. That is all... leroy

Yeaah..! What Mister seez52 said..!!! " Metoo " leroy...

Brothers n Sisters... Muzzle Brake for 300 Blackout... Recomendations... Which muzzle brakes do ya like..? Or, do ya like one at all...? Would be for a 10 inch pistol... buildin leroy...

I'm a big fan of " The Ace of Spades H.Q. Blog "... A bit pithy at times for " tender eyed " readers; but pretty much on target. I urge ya to read the first few paragraphs of " The Morning Report, 9.15.2020 by J.J. Steffington "... I think he is dead right for the most part... Please read to the " Above the Fold " section. We have devolved into a loose confederation of states. http://www.ace.mu.nu/ leroy, the radical isolationist...

Brothers n Sisters... Been thinkin about upgrading my old earmuffs... What hearing enhancing, noise cancelling " in the ear " gizmos doya like..? leroy...

I think everybody needs to be watchful and armed to the teeth. We have simply not seen anything like this here in the US in modern times. As to " Trouble near us "... i have asked myself and orhers the same question. My thinkin (... notice i said " thinking "... which is a combination of hope, analysis, prayer, n experience...), is that " Red States " will stay relatively calm due to the to the law n order influence of " Red State State Government policies ". Blue States will more likely burn due to the same effect. It is my thinkin that the over-arching " Federalism " of US gubt is dead or so weak, it will never be " authoritarian " again. You simply will not see the US military escort kids to de-segregated schools anymore, like i did as a young person. Things are simply too polarized. I do not think that the federal gubt is gonna meddle in any law enforcement (.. Nor lack there of...) in any state... period. It's simply too risky. We have become a loose confederation of " Red " and " Blue " states, where law n order is either provided at the local or state level, or by vigilantism, which i expect to break out in both " Blue " and " Troubled Red " locations (... You know where they are...)... Like others here; im concerned that we seem to be returning to " Dodge City "; but ive come to believe that is exactly where we are. Like others have opined, im somewhat concerned about the effect on the overall economy, and our personal finances as the banking and financial systems sort this division out. We are no longer the " United States "... The "rights without responsibilities crowd of the 60's" and " the children of lower estate " have murdered it; along with plenty of help from the insider political class, and the ultra wealthy plutocracy we have allowed to run wild here in the US. We are now " armed birds of a feather flocking together "... We have no sense of unity. Our concern for our brothers largely depends on where he or she lives, along with our personal ties to them... It is, indeed, very sad and very dangerous. Sigh... sad leroy, the militant isolationist...

Put them irons on it Bruthah..! Remember, the ole timers used em... This setup will probably shoot as far as ya can see... Ya wont need 20 rounds... Admirin leroy...

It's been pretty quiet here a bit north of Knoxville. The further north ya get here, the calmer things get. The " Rustics " don't like BLM or " AnnyFannie"... They best stay home. leroy
