What have you got? I bought a little single shot adapter for my Brno. Quite helpful for a few things I've found. Scrummy

If anyone felt like running this again I'd happily sign up (or could look into Chobham Ridge at Bisley)

Hi Folks, Daft but fun event at Bisley shooting .22lr at 200 and 300yds? Event details: https://online.nra.org.uk/sblr21 Come-ups are here. https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&pid=sites&srcid=ZGVmYXVsdGRvbWFpbnx0aGVsb25ncmFuZ2VyaW1maXJlY2x1YnxneDo2Yjg3YjFmMmUxNjhhN2E I'm entering it with my little Brno .22. Not likely to trouble the leader board but it's a good giggle. Not too serious, friendly bunch. If you're coming, drop me a line. Scrummy

Nice one my friend!

Be very interested, John. I find the RWS Target Rifle and Sub Sonic Hollow Point shoot to a very similar POA/POI at 50 yds.

Did you like it as much as you thought. And is it congratualtions on MT getting constitutional carry? Scrummy

Hi Folks, Resurrecting an old thread here so please bear with me. Anyone had a go with any of the RWS high velocity offerings? I'm guessing my usual CCI might be somewhat unavailable in the next few months... Scrummy

Sorry, I should have been more precise. More flexible for developing a full power jacketed load. With N110 and a 240gr Hornady JTC-Sil Viht quotes loads 20.4-22.1gr Hodgdon with H110 and Nosler JSP (similar length) quotes a 1.0gr min-max as does Nosler with the same bullet. Scrummy

Yes I have heard that's good. I also have some H110 (Mainly because Hodgdon produce 20" barrel carbine data for 44 mag) but I think Viht N110 might be the more flexible choice. Scrummy

That is a very cool resource! I am hoping to have a set of loads and sight settings that go from "Mild to wild" with the .44 mag. So a cast bullet load for plinking and a 1,700ftlb load which is all deer legal in England. Scrummy

Thanks Pat. I'd be tempted to say I'm quite unlikely to shoot steels, it will most likely be shooting paper 25 and maybe 50 yds with the occasional foray into shooting a bit further maybe 100 and 200 occasionally. (Though given the sights I use and their adjustment range I think I'd be better using a super sonic ammo as it takes rather less come up). Best wishes, Scrummy Best wishes, Scrummy

That's interesting. My 20" barrelled Chiappa quite likes the 200gr RNFP 44 Special "Cowboy" loads produced by Magtech. I bought them mainly for the brass as some of our ROs are sticklers about 44 mag in lever actions and "full power" loads being over the range ME limit. Scrummy

Thanks @phaedra1106uk Would you recommend Titegroup or GM3?

Hi folks, I'm also starting to play around with 44 mag and cast bullets out of a lever action. I have had some OK results with Unique but I find it difficult to measure conistently unless you trickle and weigh each charge. (Also if I try and charge through the belling die it seems to stick in te die body no matter how I try and "de-static" it) I was wondering about my Titegroup as is a ball powder might be more conistent volumetrically? Or would GM3 be better? Scrummy

My 527 only shot the 69gr GGG (SMK) so-so when I tried it

Cheers. I like the 160gr TMK in my 7x64 a lot (shot some of my best ever 600yd shooting with that). Just didn't want to take the chance on the 69gr TMKs given how low the stability looked using the Berger stability calc. Scrummy

Hi Num_hunter, What bullet length are you using? I couldn't the 69gr TMK to stabilise using the Berger Bullets calculator Best wishes, Scrummy

I’m going through a similar conundrum. Looking for a longer range 223 load for my 1:9 CZ527. someone did suggest the 60gr Sierra Tipped Match King as an option. quite a good BC and should stabilise Scrummy

1:8 or maybe 1:7 and as others have said, longer length

Good luck Andy! Hunt hard and shoot straight!

Sounds very good!

I've been playing around with crimping a bit. I'm developing a cheapo .223 Rem plinking load Approx 25gr Ramshot TAC Range pick up S&B brass Magtech small rifle primer Hornady 55gr FMJBT (Bulk pack 500s so not exactly a "premium" projectile) So far seating to the cannelure and a Lee Factory crimp has definitely shrunk my groups.

He speaks the truth!

Yep!
