4227 has come back in stock (Midway USA and Grafs). Bought two lbs. Looking forward to loading some 235 grain bullets this weekend…shooting for 2,000fps or less with around 35gr of 4227.

Well, turns out my bathroom scale was on the fritz due to low battery…and I know cause the next day I weighed 161…I wish. Using a creative “double end” approach with a 6lb kitchen scale and then rechecking with a bathroom scale with new batteries. The loaded gun with scope weighs 9.5 lbs…mo better.

I have found several official (Hodgdon manual) low recoil recipes for IMR 4227…down to 2000 fps.

It’s a Montana Arms model 1999…wood stock. Leupold 2x8 scope with steel quick release rings. I think my bathroom scale comparison may be off so possibly closer to 8.6 lbs. Trying to find a scale that can accurately measure something that size. If still under 9lbs when all said and done may...

PS: I also posted my search for those low recoil powders on Long Range Hunting forum…got a guy today who after 45 minutes of becoming a site member told me he had a friend with those powder and I should give him a call. Also have found numerous scam websites with powder availability at great...

Guns weighs 7.6 lb scoped and loaded. I plan to do my final practicing with hunting loads (270 or 300gr at 2500-2700 fps)…trip in 2025. To start off getting used to this new gun I would prefer something less hot.

Been scouring the net for AA5744 or H/IMR4227 to load some low recoil 375 H&H for easier practice…no luck so far. Appreciate any steer if any known to be available. Also, appreciate low recoil 375 load data for those or other powders. Most recipes are hunting loads staring at 2400fps. Would...

Please somebody take it so I can stop thinking about it. Have an unfired Montana Arms, otherwise I would be driving to your house with cash

Apologies if already covered but the responses I have read to date deal mainly with pragmatic issues of ballistics, cost, ammo availability, shipping, etc. Having been blessed to own several rifles, I consider/value romance and nostalgia when considering what rifle to use for what game. To...

We are all gun nuts. Post pics so we can see

Still driving an ‘07 Tundra…cause nothing goes wrong. If I were buying newish would go with the 2022 Tundra…5.7l V8. Also hearing some bugs with the newest model…but Toyota will get it ironed out in a year or two.

+1 for Drew Estate Legends (black ring)
