Thanks man. I will give it a go!

PM me your 3031 load for the 470 when you get a chance. I have a year and some change until my next hunt and I've got a jug of 3031. I'm curious to shoot it side by side with my 4831 load and see if I can tell a difference in the felt recoil.

I got a small bag from Lowe's and tried it out to make sure it worked and then went on Amazon and got a lifetime supply for $40 https://a.co/d/iLqFYu5

I get off work in about 3 hours and I will double check when I get home, but I'm 99% sure its 3/8

Yeah I like the 3/8, I doubt it would matter a whole lot but, the 3/8 seems to be about a perfect fit in the 470. I used 1/2 in a 500 Jeffrey once and it worked really well in that. The 3/8 should be a lot easier to get into the .458 and .416.

I purchased an industrial size roll of 3/8" foam backer rod for the times I do.need a filler. It is the perfect diameter for 470, 500, 45/70, 20 gauge shot cup spacer for hand loading TSS or magnum lead loads. I just snip off the length I need with a pair of scissors.

H4831SC. That's the powder I run in my K gun. I can switch between Hornady DGX, Swift A frames, and cutting edge solids without changing the powder charge and get basically the same POI

Yep, you definitely have to weed through the unnecessary stuff to get down to the actual info you are looking for.

There are several videos but here is a link to one of them.

There is often a lot of discussion on here about the capabilities and various attributes of different calibers. One I have seen often is the 375 vs 416. I have accidentally found an interesting source of real world information on this topic. I was bored a few days ago, flipping through...

WTB Beretta 1301 or A300 Patrol, considering building a tactical turkey rig. I have recently started reloading my own TSS turkey loads and I'm thinking about putting together a dedicated short barreled turkey rig. Let me know what y'all got!

Sold! Thanks guys.

While my original plan was to get a S&W 500, turkey season is nigh upon us and europtics just emailed to let me know that the Beretta A300 patrol in multicam is now in stock and I would very much like to kill a turkey with one of them. I will be entertaining all reasonable offers. Ha ha

Up for another round.
