Thinking about grabbing up another 10 lbs of the 2f.
10 lbs???? get the backhoe out, dig up some of that money you're hoarding and get a case if it shoots that good

I took my .44-100 back to the range this morning after going through my brass that got mixed after cleaning it that made me think my 44 died on me. I got some real wild shots that really had me worried. What was going on is I had brass I just shot once got mixed with brass that was shot several times. I also got some vergin lead and tin and mixed some new alloy making sure that the alloy I been using wasn't mismarked.
I shot four different load and bullet combinations. A 487 gr Brooks porlate and a 500 gr KAL elliptical loaded with 2F KIK and 2F Old E using the same volume, not weight, and at 200 yards the 2F E powder with the 500 gr KAL bullet won out with 7 shots at 1-3/4" the KIK load with the 478 gr prolate shot a respectable 2-5/16".

Then if it pans out real well, it'll be time to order a case.(05-13-2013, 11:31 PM)Don McDowell Wrote: but today the stuff laid enough bullets one on top of the other, I can get excited.

Glad you got that 100 straightened back up. Now get that class to a different date, so's you can get here to shoot the Creedmoor at Byers on the 2nd.

Don
Is that Gibbs bullet adjustable or tapered the whole way ?
Never mind, I see that is the one you are trying to sell
Why are you selling? wrong dia for you?
RE: Olde E and the BACO bullet - Don McDowell - 05-15-2013
It's a good bullet, but really needs to be about .002-004 bigger to work real well in this rifle. It works quite well to 600, but beyond that it gets a little iffy.
