What did you reload today?

I need to post a hunt report of my nilgai sometime. It's a hunt that I think more should look into...like free range aoudad...need to post that report also. Word of caution...understand the nilgai shot placement before you go. I have seen a lot of mistakes there and they do not fold up with bad placement.

Shoot me a PM if you know some good places to go for either Nilgai or Aoudad.

.44 Special, a WARM load only for Ruger Flattop Blackhawk, 9.5 gr Unique, 200 gr Hornady XTP. Accurate, and 90% weight retention in wet newspaper at 10 yards. Varmits do not approve. 10-12" of penetration.

Add 12 rds 470 for the K gun. I need to make more filler wads 88 gr Reloder 15.
 
500gr CEB solids for the 470
 
Helping a buddy’s son with loads for his 308. Loaded up a few 165gr Sierra Gamekings this morning for ladder and pressure testing.
Getting a box of 165gr TGK bullets next week to try in the 7x57.
 
Hanging in the gun room most of the day today. Loaded some .308 win for an Alaskan black bear hunt I leave for this Friday. Finished loading ammo for whitetail this fall, including .300 BlackOut for my son and .300 Win Mag for my wife. Now onto a little more .375 H&H for practice ahead of Zim next summer.

preparation for 4 weeks in the northern bush, for moose, elk, deer and grouse.
9.3x375Ruger: NF 286 gr CUP, MJG 155gr and OK+170 gr ( same POI), 8x57 with 160 g TTSX, and the mighty K-hornet with 52 gr ELDM
 
500 Sharps 2 1/2" (50-90 Sharps). 575gr Peregrine VRG-2, 80.0gr H335. 2057fps average.

Target is 5 shots, open sights, 50-yards. The 2 out of the center ring were the usual result of a clean cold barrel. The last 3 share the same hole.

7 PRC with 18 inch barrel and suppressed all summer. Finally got a load to work sub-moa. 72.3 grains H1000 under 168 gr LRx, WLR primer/Peterson brass.
Attached is my 200 yd target. Wish the SD was single digit but oh well. Should kill something.

How is the muzzle blast????
Not sure how to answer this question or exactly what you are asking. The loudness of the shot is minimized with the suppressor. The recoil is stout but not so much as to cause a flinch such as a .300 WinMag and 200 gr bullet unsuppressed might give. I definitely will not being seeing my shot impacts, if that is what you are wondering.
 
just got done loading 500 38 super with brand new starline brass 6.6gr of power pistol pushing a .356 125gr hornady Hap bullet. I really can't wait to blast these off and repeat the process

Reach out to the guys at Epic Outdoors.

They will steer you right for landowner tags and outfitters that have them.

I have held a membership with them for years and they are an invaluable resource.

Way better that asking random people on the internet...WAY better

Skydiver386,

Did you ever find your 30-06 CZ550? I own a fairly solid conditioned one, if you wanted to talk.
