On 1/9/2019 at 6:39 AM, PRDATR said:Well that should fill the cylinder up quite a bit, how many grains are you using and what do the reloading manuals recommend? I haven't owned a BP firearm but I have read that sometimes people would use a filler in cartridges if they were using a very fast powder like Unique of say 5 grains in a case that had a capacity of say 20 grains to keep the powder close to the primer to avoid pressure spikes.
Everything I've read has said 20 grains FFF. I have a hard time getting consistent ignition so I bet I need to figure out the filler. Thanks for the info everyone!

FFF

Sorry I wasn't specific but I'm not loading shells, it's a Ruger Old Army so I'm loading it right in the cylinder. Does the same principle apply? Thanks for the help

I keep hearing people referencing cornmeal filler in their black powder revolver loads... What is the purpose of applying a filler?
-
Any reliable sources for rigger old Army parts? Been a little difficult to find certain parts
-
Was there a price on the 4831?
-
IMR 4064 is a solid performer in the .30-06. 48-49gr with your choice of 165 class bullet should be good to go.
Thank you sir. I think I already have everything for that so I'll give it a shot... No pun intended haha
-
Thank you all for the info. I'll see what I can figure out. Yeah I was having excellent groups at 100 yards just on my bipods but I would like a little more confidence further out. Thanks again
-
Has anyone found a ridiculously efficient 30-06 load that groups well up to 400 yds (realistically I feel that a quarter of a mile is the furthest I want to shoot while hunting). I loaded 180gr Sierra spitzers with 55 grains of imr 4831. On a lead sled at 200 yds we had a decent group but at three hundred we we're all over the place. I've heard I should have started at 165 but I would appreciate any input. Thanks in advance and happy hunting!

I may want that rangefinder. How far does it read accurately?
-
Is 40 bucks your lowest? Where are you located?
-
Wow excellent point. I didn't even consider that. Thank you all for the information. Back to the drawing board. Bolt action it is haha
-
The only rifle I know of chambered for either that's not an AR would be the Nosler M48 in 22 Nosler. It's a higher end bolt gun. You could pick up a H&R in 223 and easily have it rechambered to either, but your back at the twist issue. Also a break style single shot with the fore end hanging off the barrel wouldn't likely be as accurate as a quality free floated bolt gun. If I were going to build a fast twist in either cartridge I would build off a Rem. 700.
-
Would those be any easier to find in break open single shot? I've heard good things about the 22 nosler. I understand they all do approximately the same velocity but factory ammunition for the 224 Valkerie is quite reasonable and easy to find. I do plan on reloading but it is nice to know that it's easily accessible.
-
The 224 Valkerie is a 22 Nosler shortened to allow longer bullets to be seated and still fit in an ar magazine. If your running a bolt gun or a single shot there is no advantages. 22 Nosler will do the same thing 100 fps faster.
I'm building a 22-250 Ackley with a 6.5 twist heavy varmint contour barrel. 15 lb rifle launching the 95 gr Sierra matching @ 3200 fps. Running the numbers on Shooter the bullet should stay super sonic to almost 2200 yds and from a rifle you can watch the vaper trail in the scope.
-
What makes a round better for an ar platform rather than a bolt action or break open? I've never fully understood the difference. Again thank you for the information.
-
Ya i think the valkerie is kinda like the grendel more for the ar platform
-
That's what I was worried about. Thanks for the info this is the first time I've looked into anything like this. If I'm wanting to build this as a breech loading rifle would those barrels from those suppliers work? I haven't found any that attach the same way. I just love the simplicity and functionality of a h&r handi rifle.
-
You would want a 223 but if your just wanting to rechamber a factory rifle you won't find one with a 1 in 7 twist. You can get .224 7 twist barrels from Krieger, Bartlein, and Douglas.
-
Does anyone know what caliber single shot rifle barrel would be best to have bored out to fit the 224 Valkerie cartridge. I know I need the 1-7 twistrate but I've never considered having a rifle built till now. Any info is appreciated
-
I've got one exactly like it. Great gun for the price. Good luck in the sale.

Saw 2 bulls with antlers yesterday. Got my eyes on the ground though

Has anyone successfully loaded the arizona topo map onto an Etrex 20? I have loaded and enabled the map on my etrex 20 and disabled the other maps on there but still nothing but a white screen. I have deleted and reloaded the map once and still no change. Did i miss a step?

The part I'm looking for is a cylinder latch spring for the Ruger Old Army revolver. I've checked dang near every website. If anyone has a lead on parts like that, I'd appreciate it
