Old stuff that brakes down and is unreliable is way cooler than a piece of European engineering deer slaying artistry.
Well done

Im new to the 45/70 so nothing i say could be called expert advice but no one else has tried to help.
Ive been thinking the 410 sub-x at super speeds might be the go.
1st deer i shot with the...

If there is going to be a big sooky cry over this suppressor i will sell the OP my 1st baffle from my goat gun at a discounted price. 3500-4000 shots so just run in.
DPT suggested i used...
The reloading manuals have the numbers you're looking for.
I load 48grs of 2207 behind the 350s for 1950fps, plenty of smack for me and 6grs less than book max.
Plenty of room for a +P load above...
Im new to the 45/70 but love it.
I dont think the +P loads are necessary but each to their own. They will kick a bit.
Lastnight i was shooting a gong out at 200yds with the 350gr Hornady RN @...
Maybe too tired Maybe few too many Jesus juices but im a bit confused . So the gun shoots amazing after 35ish shots from your cleaning regime. You have done the hard work and found the answer to your...
Sorry Dicko to call you out for fat fingers or old eyes but we dont load rifle ammo in grams.
I stand by my 57 GRAINS of 2209 as the standard load for the 30/06. This is the best load in 3 guns i...
Sounds like you have enuf 2209 to load around 400 rounds ! Thats plenty.
57 grs behind any 178-180gr non mono bullet and you are sorted.
Another good super load bullet is the 160gr TTSX.
With the subs i tried 315gr soft cast. While they didn't group too well they were acceptable but poi too sideways from super load.
The 300gr sierra...
45gr of AR2219 behind the 180gr Accu-bond is my favorite load. 2600fps from 17" barrel.
RIP mate, and may the stags be closer and the hills flatter where you are now
Probably weakened by corrosion. A quick spray of wd40 or inox is the go for alloy suppressors.
I run vx5 3-15 x 44 and found Talley Ex-Low perfect.
Product no 720714
Im embarrassed our fellow shooters aren't more friendly to your request. Probably coz of the current government and their bullshit ( stick the knife in at all cost policies )
I got my start...
Have shot these for years in a 1-12" Tikka. Very accurate and deadly.
Everything from sporrows to deer have bit the dust from them
Good luck to everyone heading out tomorrow. Had a couple of reports of early roars so go hard.
Be safe and post stag pictures
Not being a smarty pants but i have seen this before.
On a second hand target when the little black covering sticker blew off a previous shot. Confused the hell out of me.
Sorry if this didnt help...
Neat one, even though ive only fired a few shots from a 9.3 its a favorite of mine.
This roar i will be shooting a 338/06 imp. Last week two critters died from a 250gr partition
When i found one second hand cheap i decided to take the risk on the budget Ruger and it has become one of my favourite guns.
The stock is very cheap and flexy, the trigger is very cheap and creepy...

In my 338 Lapua Improved, 30" Trueflite barrel 107.5grs 300gr berger = 2950 or there abouts. Not sure about standard Lapua loads but i seem to remember hearing of people using it in...
Tahr's pixs crack me up, as a bush bashing sika hunter im used to dealing with obstructions of the woody type and envied the open country hunters but now i see the problem is transferable.

Back in the olden days i sent lots and lots of 120gr 7mms deerwards. They worked great.
Normal cation applies, my load has always been 46.5gr AR2208. ADI book states 45gr max.
I only shot one sika...
These are copper mono's like the Barnes. They may loose petals at high speed but not blow up.
Maybe we should send the hat around to get some funds for you so you can do the right thing and biff it !!!!
I fell down the stupid hole myself and tipped a little bit of powder in the wrong bottle...
Im sure humans lost the " sixth sense " many moons ago but every now and then we can have bits of it pop back into our under utilized brains. The more hours i spend hunting the more often this...
