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.

Still available.

I have a nice CZ 550 Varmint in 308 that has been cut to 20", it was cut by a smith in Florida but I can't remember the name. The previous owner had the work done and when I purchased it I looked up the shop that did the work. It is a solid shooter, very accurate, and a very handy hunting rifle...

They have a 400 grain solid and I believe a 340 grain raptor. I killed my elephant with their 470 solid and it was impressive. I have shot a deer with the .50 raptor in a 500 Jeffrey. I like the CEB bullets quits a bit. I would say the 400 grain solid would be plenty for buffalo. I am looking...

I think the 10" is exactly what I'm looking for. I ordered the Dillon powder funnel and locator buttons for my RL550 yesterday. I am slowly collecting the reloading equipment as well as brass and bullets before I get the actual pistol. I want to get a good set of shooting sticks as well. I...

Thanks! I am going to try to get out to a range and rent one. I'm sure I'll have to drive a little ways but it will be worth it to shoot a few and see what I like. That 7.5" might be a little handier than the 10"

Thanks man. I do want to get my hands on a few different pistols. I am not completely against the idea of a single shot or encore type pistol. I had one in 7/08 and it was scary accurate. I'm still definitely in the R&D phase. You prefer the 454/460 due to the handling, or recoil?

I am making a dedicated move into handgun hunting. I have owned a Redhawk 44 magnum for a long time and I have a lot of experience with it. However, I am looking to get into a more specialized hunting pistol and cartridge. The questions I have for any of you with experience with this caliber...

I agree. I have the 1.25-4 and the 2.5-8 version of these. I would love to buy this one but can't at the moment because I'm saving up to pay off my leopard hunt, which I could very much use this scope for. Ha ha. If it hangs around long enough for me to sneak in a few extra hours of OT at...

Roger that. I am posted up at the bar!

@Norfolk and myself @Backyardsniper will be having an ad hock meet up for any AH members here at the DSC that want to have a beverage and hang out we will be there at approx 19:00

Ha ha. Believe it! If I still had my 500 this post would have never existed.

Good deal for any of you 500 nitro and 500 Jeff shooters looking for some plinking or practice rounds. They have 4 boxes left at the moment https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1019483010

I'll take a couple. I need one for my 20 gauge and I'm going to try one on my double rifle. I'm thinking maybe #5 and #7. Shoot me a PM when you get a chance with your payment info and I'll get you a shipping address.

Thank goodness somebody bought that :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: I was literally thinking how much I didn't need to spend that money, but I was gonna buy it anyway, until I scrolled down and saw the SOLD! post. That is a sweet little hunting rifle right there!

Here is a pic that kind of shows the profile of the forend

I might do that. Let me think on it and I may try a couple of them. I have a SxS 20 gauge that has O.D. green cerakote and that black one would look really good on it and I think one of the other smaller ones may fit my double. Both the 20 gauge and the double have what I would say are splinter...

Do you think any of those would fit a double rifle? I'm guessing the barrels on my 470 are roughly 28 gauge size? So maybe the 410?

I'm really glad to hear everyone had a good time. Thanks again to everyone who came, I know a few of you all drove three or four hours to come down. I really look forward to next year's. Hopefully I can take what we learned from this year's shoot and make next year even better. Here is the...

The first West Ky double rifle/ big bore rifle shoot is in the books. I want to say thanks to all the guys that came out. There was a lot of shooting done, there was a LOT of interesting rifles to try out and plenty of bbq to eat. I look forward to getting next years shoot planed! I think...

The targets are built, the metal is painted, the barbecue is smoked, the firing line roped off, we are fully prepped for a good time tomorrow! Looking forward to seeing you all there!. I believe we have a really excellent assortment of targets that will offer a lot of challenging shooting...

This is really one the big benefits of this site. I have purchased several rifles in this same manner on this site. You could go to 50 "local gun stores" across the country and likely never run into a rifle like this. However, on here you have virtually a world wide audience, just post what...

Almost there!

Early start this morning for Saturday's lunch.

Awesome! Looking forward to seeing you out there. I'm so glad you're bringing a 460! I have owned a couple and I really miss them. Ha ha. Also that BFR in 45-70. I have been wanting one of those for a long time. I hope to get to squeeze one off with that rig, probably gonna cause me to have to...

I just wanted to give an update for all those planning to attend. Kevin and I went down and surveyed our shooting position at the range from the area that we plan to set up. There will be a pistol match going on at the same time as our shoot so we will be set up on the actual range between the...

Green My 470 double rifle and he is getting both barrels in rapid succession. I would be loaded with CEB 500 grain solids if I had my choice, but at that range I suspect 500 grains of swift A frame or anything else is going to get it done.

That's right.

Sounds good. I'm guessing we will start around 8 or 9 and go until 2 or 3.

That's a good idea, we are also working on some door prizes hopefully. I'm sure we will manage to get a few things together.

Will do. I'm going to try and get a website or something together if I can. KYGUNCO donated the ammo.

Not sure, it will depend on the amount of people we have. If we have any competitions we will try to break things down into categories. Mediums bores vs mediums and double rifles vs doubles. It will just be some friendly matches for bragging rights or maybe some small prizes.
