Happy New Year, to everyone here! Today is also my 26th year wedding anniversary, and I’m posting this as I’m freezing from my tree stand! My wife is very understanding! I’m Taking here out for a nice dinner this evening!

My wife hunts with a 7mm08. She’s taken a few whitetails with it. She loves it! It really is a sweet caliber. Good power, pretty flat shooting and low recoil, what’s not to like?

Wow! Thanks for sharing this information.

375 Winchester is a new to me cartridge. I picked up a Winchester 94 big bore a few months ago. Haven’t messed with it yet, but plan to after the deer season ends here. It’s basically an updated 38-55. I have already picked up reloading dies and a bullet mold. Still need to pick up some brass...

I’m a fan of Savage rifles. I own/owned several over the years, all have been very accurate. As a kid, my great uncle let me borrow his savage model 340? in 22hornet. it might be the most accurate I’ve ever shot.

I’m in Frederick county, Maryland

My opinion is exactly the same as this post.

Very cool! Congratulations!

Just to follow up on my post above, I’d like to use the Lyman 385 grain bullet if possible. looking at the max loads, I think it will work perfectly. Fast enough to get some distance if need be and plenty of foot pounds of energy. I’m just worried about them leading at 2,200fps. Anyone ever...

I’ve use cast bullets to take deer. Here’s a post I posted elsewhere of the performance I had on a 8 point buck last season. Enjoy! I took a deer with my Marlin 45-70. The loads is 47.5 grains of 3031. The bullet is a Lyman Gould bullet. I cast this bullet using pure lead, and it is then...

Ok, so I just looked at the .45 bullet molds and powders I have on hand. Lyman 457124 “385 grain” Lyman 457125 “500 grain” Lyman 557122 “ 330 grain” I use this bullet made of pure lead, powder coated with 47.5 grains of 3031 in my Marlin 45-70. It’s fantastic on deer! Lyman 457193 “405 grains”...
