    Yes, I don't recall the velocity but h4350 is a powder I use in a few different cartridges.

    Maggie’s Motivational Pic Thread v2.0 - - New Rules - See Post #1

    Back around 1980 my Dad and I took our feeders to the stockyards in Standish, MI. After they sold we were in the cafe having lunch while the bologna bulls were selling. A pissed off bull went over the pen rail, up the seats, and down the 2nd floor hallway past the cafe. He went out the window at...

    7mm Mauser loads

    I have had good luck with 139 grain Hornady interlocks and h4350 slightly downloaded in a sporterized 1895 Mauser. 154 grain SST's with h4350 showed promise in one of my 98 Mausers but haven't finished load development on that one.

    The Shot You’ll Never Forget Giveaway - Enter To Win A Barrel From Rifle Barrel Blanks!

    Luckiest shot was a red wing blackbird on the wing with a $25 Burgo .22 revolver. Most memorable was the shot that filled a lifelong dream of Hunting Brown Bear on Kodiak Island. Thanks to my Coat Guard Son qualifying as a Alaska resident he was my guide. 193 yards with a semi custom Remington...

    Kind of did the opposite to a friend. when I was a ffl I ordered him a S&W 44 mag. He couldn't hit anything with it. I told him he was flinching, he said no way. he laid the loaded revolver on the bench to take a leak. I pulled a random round. he came back in recoil on the empty chamber almost...

    Maggie’s Planning a Road Trip to Alaska - Need Intel

    Your comment about being easier to get into Canada than come back is right on. I used to cross almost daily in Sault Saint Marie, Michigan in my Semi. Never had any issue with Canadian Customs but the US guys often acted like they were pissed I went over there. lol

    Maggie’s Planning a Road Trip to Alaska - Need Intel

    I don't know if fuel cost is an issue. My Coast Guad Son drove his 2001 1 ton Dodge with a Cummins towing his 18' fishing boat from Sacramento to Kodiak Island and total trip cost over 5 grand. He did take the ferry's and the one from Homer to Kodiak was a large portion of that. The Coast Guard...

    Buying an old Ford Square Body

    I don't know what part of the country your in but I looked for over 6 months here in Michigan for a 7.3. I found plenty, but also plenty of rust. I finally ended up with a 01 from Florida that was 99% rust free but was a 5.4 gasser. I rarely tow so really didn't need the diesel anyway. It's been...

    Bushnell customer support (or lack there of)

    I kept trying the phone number on the website at least weekly and just happened to get through one day. The lady I talked to sent an email and all further back and forth was done using email. The email address she used was [email protected] Maybe try an email to that instead of...

    Maggie’s Funny & awesome pics, vids and memes thread (work safe, no nudity)

    He pulled a fuel tank most likely local deliveries, no 8 hours of highway running. I've done about 2.5 million pulling multi axle grossing 150,000+ in the last 20 years and 99% of that entirely in Michigan. Lots of 2 lane and average length of each load around 3-4 hours. I put in 65 to 70 hours...

    Loading .280 Remington to Full Potential

    I've been running Re22 in 2 different standard 280's (both sporterized Mauser 98's) and in my Kimber Montana 280AI with a Hornady 154g SST in all. I'm a couple grains below book max in both Mausers at 2800 fps. Decent hunting accuracy in one Mauser and Holy crap that old Mauser can shoot...

    How old is “old enough” for kids to shoot Real Rifles

    I had my son shooting a .22 at about 6. he was shooting a 9mm by age 8 and hot (345g hard cast @ 1200 fps} 45 long colt loads out of my Ruger Blackhawk at 9. I think he was about 9 when he started shooting centerfire rifles too. 30-30 and 7x57.

    Hunting & Fishing Let’s start a coyote thread.

    came across the alfalfa field midday of the 3rd day of Michigan rifle deer season. The 172 grain Speer Impact out of the 06 was a bit overkill. Hell of a hole in the other side.
