Your right about the potential of the Sub-X at Super speeds if Hornadys Hype is anything to go by. Their Podcast on the 45 Cal Sub-X.s says they were Impressive against their normal gelatin rifle...

So pardon my ignorance: but did you shorten the tubular mag & hide it under the forend or is it used now as a single shot? ( No photo to show whats happened to the tubular mag) Ive been thinking...

Hi Dama Dama; maybe something to think about; i run both on my 45/70 but find that the red dot has a problem for me anyway.... if you have dark fallow deer in a dark area it can be incredibly hard to...

I have Quick Release rings on a 45/70 that has a 2-7 leopold compact in it. i just checked & cant find a name on them but remembered they were well priced from one of the main stores when i brought...

Hiya ; sorry there is 3 packets Sierra 30 cal 135 gr HP,s that i brought for 300 blackout fodder not the 125 pro hunters.

IL be home on Tuesday . Will check cabinet then ��

Hi BW, pretty sure I have the Sierra pro hunters 125 gr in cabinet as xtras for the 300 blackout but not absolutely certain. Will be home in couple days & will check. Would be interested in the 162 ...

Morning Empire Safaris; whereabouts in Waikato are you ? Closer to Cambridge than Tauranga? ( my son lives in Cambridge & can take the 2209 to you from there if that’s closer. He’s in Tauranga today...

Couldnt work out how to load photos of the load development targets i have in a folder: but 3 shot groups range from half a matchbox to a matchbox in size @ 50m ( .5 to 1 moa ) . Considering the...

Hi Moa Hunter: been using a few subloads ; Rifle: single shot Begara 18" ? barrel DPT supressor with extra baffle , Brass: Hornady or Starline ( just...

Hi Empire Safaris; does it suit you then to swap 1kg 2206H or 2209 for 1kg 2207? i would like to try some 2207 for the 45/70 Super loads . We mainly run Red Dot for the sub loads in it but would like...

H iya : Swap 2209 or 2206H for equivilant 2207 if anyone interested ,have an unopened 1 kg 2209 or less happy to trade for load development

Swap Hornady 325FTX ( have 79 left) for Speer 400gr SPFN 2479 or something similiar

Personally i think u should be fine with the 30 cal SubX,s at higher speed as its abit of an odd ball projectile. to my knowledge ( which could easily be wrong) they were made for American Law...

Good thread : it does seem that alot of the newer hunters with the advent of the internet clips & podcasts of all the "new " calibres : get caught up in the hype of " 50 fps faster " here & "1.5...

This thread seems totally correct to reloaders that are still alive to grin about it . :-) i started off with a 30/30 that i couldnt seem to hit much with but learnt the basics of reloading from a...

Hiya; a question….. there’s 3 different load parameters for 45/70 rifles . Reasonably mild load data for “ Trapdoor “ actions, pretty reasonable load data for lever actions & Grunty load data for “...

Very Happy with it in the 45/70 . Was pleasently surprised at the price. From memory bout $1.50 a case

Hi Moa Hunter; I couldn’t identify the powder that were in the factory rounds. One of the Hornady podcasts ( listened on Spotify) ; the hornady guy said the powder they use for the subsonics wasnt a...

Are they Hornady subsonics the 395 gr? I’ve found & heard that Hornady seem to run their subsonics slightly over the speed of sound to provide back pressure to cycle the semi autos they are so fond...

So did u have to buy 2 sizing dies for your cast bullets? .458 for the 45/70 & .453 for the 450 bushmaster? How do the cast look after the smaller sizing die?

Hi Gur1 ; weren’t you running a Begara & a Henry both in 45/70? If so ; out of curiosity , what made u change to the 450 bushmaster?
