Re: What did you do at your reloading bench today?
That's a good load for the 250 XTP bullet and I load them to 20 gr. for use in my Ruger Bisley Blackhawk, Alaskan and the 45 Colt Henry. They pack a good punch and give 1100 FPS out of my 2.5 inch Alaskan.Vaquero wrote: ↑Sat Jul 17, 2021 1:18 pmHey Al, putting these to a test later.
Got a good friend just south of St. Louis picked up a Henry CCH in 45 colt and said these preformed well in it.
Checked data, between 19.7 and 20.2, with a very max. of 20.8 with extreme caution.
Going to see if the Cowboy or Rossi like either.

Nice of the USPS to get those to you off the dock at Memphis. Its to bad the people at your local PO couldnt of got a hold of someone up there when she mentioned that to you. Glad you are getting to use them. Good looking roundVaquero wrote: ↑Sat Jul 17, 2021 1:18 pmHey Al, putting these to a test later.

Hey, at least they did finally make it here.
A lot longer wait than either of us wanted but it worked out.
Appreciate all that you did, and hey I posted a review in the range section.

Forty, I only found thirty of the small primered .45 auto brass, already loaded. I thought I had more. If I do find any, I'll let you know.

Re: What did you do at your reloading bench today?
Reloaded 24 rounds of .30-06 for the M1 that my 18 year old grandson fired off when he was here visiting us from Seattle a couple of weeks ago. He began shooting the MI was he was only 10, and that was from a shooting sled. These days he shoots it off hand. Doing this, at 75 yards he fired all 24 rounds (3 enbloc clips), into a 6" group. He did this in 2 minutes & 15 seconds to include inserting 2 new clips and he did not get an "M1 Thumb".
I also reloaded 50 rounds of .30-40 Krag for my Krag carbine, 220 gr. Hornady RN bullets atop 33 grs. of R/L 15. Hopefully, the MV will be around 1950 FPS. I am striving to shoot 3" groups at 100 yards. If the rifle will not do that with the 220 gr. bullets, I will drop down to 180 grains spitzers. Need to be careful when reloading these old Krags to keep the pressure below 40,000 PSI.
Addionally, I cleaned the M1, .30-40 Krag, and my Henry. 44 Mag BBB.
