    .44 magnum light loads

    Could you please expand on your definition of a full house load? I hear it all the time but I would like to know some pressure specifications for what is termed an unsuitable load for a 629? Thanks for any insight.

    .44 magnum light loads

    28 grains of H110 behind a 200 grain xtp yields ~33,000CUP. That pressure is well below 50% of the loads listed on Hodgens website. I respect your Ruger anchor but don't be a troll.

    .44 magnum light loads

    I've only loaded about 200 rounds for my 629. So far I've used 200 grain xtp backed by 28 grains of H110. I have some Titegroup that I use for .45 ACP and .40s&w. I'd like some lighter loads just to go out and plunk around with. What kind of load have you worked up with the Titegroup?

    opinions on rifle make & cal for long range rifle

    I've been going to some 1000 yd bench matches in PA for a while now. I don't shoot a lot but I do observe what seems to work and in my opinion if you want to punch paper or ring a gong at 1000 yards dub caliber cartridges seem to be the consistent scorers. I'm talking 6 BRs, 6 Dashers, and...

    Long Range Shooting .308 or 300 Win Mag

    I think it depends on how far you want to shoot. At a 1000 yards the extra velocity of a 300 win mag will help beat the wind and you can also get bullets with higher BC. If you're shooting 400 yards you won't see as large of a disparity between the two except for recoil and the cost of ammo. If...

    7.62X54r for long range shooting?

    I just bought myself a Mosin Nagant at my local gun store for $80. It looks like a piece of junk but certainly holds some historical interest. The 54r cartridge would seem to be an inherently accurate round with ever so slightly better ballistics than a 7.62 NATO round. Does anyone have any...
