Found enough of my reloading stuff after the move and bought what I couldn't find/didn't have to load up my 404 Jeffery practice/ deer hunting loads.

300 44 magnum XTP reduced to .423 through a Corbin die loaded over 40g of 5744. Haven't chronographed it yet, but supposed to be good for 1700-1800 fps. I checked with Hornady and the bullet should be good for those velocities. Stabilizes fine out of my rifle.

Shoots like an absolute pussycat, but it is 100's of FPS faster than a 44 magnum would be with the same bullet, so it should be plenty for whitetail at the 30 yard range they present here at my house. And it is a whole lot cheaper than full house loads. I'm pretty stoked.
 
I've always thought that a .404 Jeffery wasn't enough gun for whitetail, but that is just me.... ;)

In all seriousness, that should be a lot of fun and great practice.

Jake, Sorry to bug you again. I was wondering if you could share a. couple actual pics of this crossbow with me?

Xpedition Archery USED Scrapeline390X Sniper Gray Crossbow XACW1001 - Light Wear - Needs Bolt/Arrow Guide Spring UA5689​

If it is in a decent shape, would you be willing to sell it for $100 shipped? IS it missing the retention spring that goes over the bolt?
Thank you Ferenc

Good morning John, I just read your setup procedure for the northstar duplicator ator. I found it very hand and I did learn some things. I have the same machine and I am having a problem i can not figure out and was hoping you could shed some light on the subject.
