Pile driver 45-70

Qld Australia. My '86 was made in , it fires a gr flat nosed grease groove bullet i cast myself from 16 to 1 alloy over 70 grains 2F Old Eynsford for fps from it's 24 inch half round barrel, fun rifle and cartridge, i've shot exactly one deer with that rifle, 18 yards in creek bottom thicket, in one shoulder, out raking the hide on opposite ham, knocked it all wobbly up front, turned and took staggering sideways steps and collapsed. It depends a little on how long a round your rifle rifle will feed.

Mine is an chambered for. In terms of bullets there's two I like: I have a supply of gr Northfork copper solids, and then Swift. Powder is AR-Comp. Joined: Aug Richmond, Virginia. I've found the most accurate bullet in both of my s is Lyman , grain GC'd cast bullet with a case full of IMR , very accurate and very powerful. For plinking and play grain SWC, one of Lyman's screw ups, grossly over sized, with 13 grains of Unique with a 2 inch square of Kleenex holding it back against the primer.

It fills the case nicely and helps the other stacked bullets in the tube magazine stay in place during recoil. I also picked up some Starline brass and the same bullet in grains and will try them.

Recoil is right up there by golly! But, I think either bullet will handle any critter in Alaska. Joined: Apr The gr JSP Remington bullet works well too. I actually shoot mostly cast bullets in the and for that I prefer a hard cast gr flat point with a gas check over 36gr of IMR For a practice and a plinking load I like the lighter gr cast bullet on top of These loads are lighter than a lot of the loads others shoot but I've found I don't need higher velocities with those big heavy bullets.

No need for more recoil. These loads have all worked very well in my Browning as well as my Ruger NO. The Browning actually does better with cast bullets due to what appears to be deeper cut rifling as compared to the Ruger.

Call him if you want and ask about the bullet he made last October. I'm sure he could cut you one if you like. Or send youa sample. So many toys I received the four grain Pile-Drivers,.
