Just discovered you guys, will be looking you up when I need some supplies!

I have killed several whitetails and pronghorn with the 250 hotcor at ~2,450 (cfe223). I like that bullet and it has worked well for others on larger species. I now use a Lyman 358009 clone at 2,350. It works well too.

I just hope I make it to Africa by the time I'm 70!

Make a great prairie dog rifle. My 9 twist savage 223rem shoots lights out with the 53gr VMAX.

I'll take Lyman's 45th if it's still available.

Hello, Hunting partner is out of PPU 9.3 bullets for his Sauer. He'd like them for upcoming hunts. He rolls his own, so just looking for component bullets. They're out of stock everywhere, so if anyone has any they won't be using for a while and is willing to part, it would be appreciated...

There was a fella looking for a fancy grade cz550 safari on here not long ago, though I don't remember if he wanted 416 or 458.

I was thinking same thing, how in the world would head space be controlled?

Forgive me if this has already been posted, but I just found out that John Linebaugh passed at his home in Cody in March. I know some here have a six gun customized by him or shoot guns chambered in cartridges he developed. I had the pleasure of meeting him in Cody last June at the annual big...

Drool! Nice rifle! Already have a 338 Winchester or I'd be all over it.

Nice, I also have a 375 Holland Mark x. It is a good shooter!

As a follow up, I did an initial trial with the Lyman 311299. I sized them 0.310". They weigh 203gr PC'd and gas checked in Lyman #2 alloy. I used 5744 and got 1820f/s and 1.2-1.5" groups at 60 yards. I want to run this one up in velocity and see if I can get those kind of groups at 100 yards...

Not a hijack, helpful info. It's a very handy little rifle. I was shooting a 30-30 class load last evening and got a small flash out of the 20" barrel. I'll keep you posted when I have time to cast some up and test. I use various die sets (RCBS, Lee, Hornady), but for bottle-necked rifles, I...

Yup, I powder coat and check, omit the lube. That's why I can omit the check as well and get nearly same results, the paint on the base of the bullet acts to protect hot gases from getting by base and gas cutting bullet/leading the barrel. Powder coated with the check still gives slightly better...

@Bob Nelson 35Whelen Thanks! I ended up ordering a 2-cavity Lyman 311299. I think I'll be able to shoot it around 2,000 w/o a check, which is my goal. My Lyman 358009 clone shoots almost as well naked as with a check in my Whelen...within a 0.100" or two at 100yds. Shot the interarms tonight...

Thanks! I bought it to hunt with cast bullets with the open sights. I bought some 150 grain round nose 30-30 jacketed bullets to shoot at modest velocity until I decide what mold I want to buy. Been doing cast bullets for revolvers for a while but been playing more with cast rifle bullets...

Oops, guess I left that out, its 30-06.

Just picked up this nice Interarms Mark X from my dealer. Can't wait to try it out!

Not too many regrets here, I don't peruse the stores much but a couple dealers who know what I like rarely call me if something comes in. There was a really nice unfired Miroku Winchester 52 I wish I had picked up for $800 a couple years back. I really like and shoot 22s quite a bit. I regret...

A follow up...chrono'd the 235 speer load with h4350 finally...2790 f/s (book max) at speer's start charge. I think the volume of Norma cases must be smaller because the load for 300gr Game Kings is right around start charge but also book max velocity. 5 shot right at 4" with my express sights...

As another person said, drop by a well stocked gun store and try out some sub-compacts and micro compacts. If you're a bigger framed guy, you may be comfortable carrying a larger pistol. Also check out handgunhero.com for comparisons. If small is where you want to be, I can tell you the major...

Exactly what I was thinking. These aren't S&W Xframes. John Linebaugh is building these on Ruger Super Blackhawk Frames. A tremendous amount of firepower in a very portable package. John's stated intent was to make something that would be comfortable to wear on the hip all day long.

My 460gr load at 1200f/s out of the linebaugh. About 3" group at 50yds resting my elbows.

Found them.

Very nice revolvers! My son and I loaded some 500Line tonight. Working up a load with a mold I got from Tom at accurate. Mine shoots the Cast Performance 525s very accurately. I met John this summer in Cody and he was pretty imressed with the accuracy I was getting. Hoping to hunt it this fall...

Just saw this. I had been doing some work with the Lyman 358009 as well a few months back. Mine out of a 24" whelen. I had been trialing 5744 and 3031. My rifle showed a preference for 3031. I stopped at 46 grains and a little over 1"-5 shot group at 100yds at ~2225f/s. Yours is moving out of a...

How did it go for you? I just picked up a Lyman 457125 and am planning on trying it in my 458Lott. Not sure how I'm going to load it yet, but I'll keep you posted on my progress.

I've shot the 550 Woodleigh with 77gr RL15 for 2100f/s in a Norma case. Still haven't gotten back to regulating that load yet.

Those are fun. I still have mine for 38 spcl.

@Bigugly check guns international.com they have several of them up there not sure what caliber you're looking for

Very pretty rifle, only wish I had picked up two when I bought my CZ!

Nice to see a shooter! Looks like you reshaped the grips to suit you. I just recently picked up a 500Line BFR, though I can't find any dies right now.

Congrats! Pic of the gun?

I agree. 338 and up, for me, just flat drops em. For some reason, I've had more deer run, well hit, with a .30 than any other bore size. Weird.

Maybe it's been said, but 223 fusion has done me 3 for 3 on whitetails out of an AR. None running more than about 50 yards. Its not my preference, but it'll def get the job done for someone who is recoil averse.

Looking for a set of 500 Linebaugh dies. Not particular as to brand. Thank you!

Used to smoke a cob pipe when I lived in Florida. Whatever the tobacconist recommended on that particular trip I'd smoke for a while.

IMO, the moderate mid-bores are very overlooked as hunting cartridges, at least where I am. A very sensible NA round. But I don't like to shoot too far either.

@MRBlack Thanks! Just grabbed a couple bags. I thought I had done a pretty good search of the interwebs, but clearly I left a stone unturned.

Beautiful rifle in a fantastic caliber. If I didn't already have a .35 rifle I'd be on this one!

Looking for 38-55 brass. Preferably Winchester, but Starline would be fine. I have a box of 300gr-0.375" Barnes TSX component bullets or a box of 550gr 0.458" Woodleigh component bullets I could offer up as trade (neither are loaded ammunition!). Thanks-Brent

They're delicious! They don't call them limb chicken for nothing!

@Shootist43 Yes, it is 2,450 f/s. Speer's most recent manual has load data for CFE223 that gets the 250 hot-cor moving over 2,600, I believe. I tried moving up in velocity, but best accuracy for my rifle was at 2,450 and it has performed really well at that.

@Forrest Halley I have a Bushnell on another squirrel rifle that focuses much closer. The Leupold, you just have to aim over top of their head and "fuzzy them off" up close. I have a Sightron I just mounted on another I haven't tried out yet. Yes, the suppressed, std velocity ammo is very...

@Shootist43 Yes, it is their hot-cor bullet. I am using CFE223 powder. Accuracy is great, recoil is mild and it's a very economical bullet.

Call Steve Bredemeyer at SMJ Sports in Columbia City, IN. (260) 409-9828. He has new FA83's in a few configurations in stock. Jealous...I have a couple 480's, but would love a linebaugh some day.

Magnum rimfire or even HV 22LR haven't worked for me and my squirrel cleaning methods either. I too try to wait for the head shot, but if never presented, body shots with high velocity hollow points just do way too much damage to their torso/abdomen and they just pull in two when I try to peel...

Lots of public in Wyo. Didn't see anyone more than 100yds from their trucks in their chairs. We had the place to ourselves other than the roads.

You should be able to draw a great unit with that many points. Good luck!
