Santa delivered some awesome lapua brass .What a upgrade from hornady.Pulled 20 rounds out and ran thru deis to get a couple dents outa the necks but they check out real close on oal only saw just a very small clean up .Deburr and primed waiting for powder .Going to run 4 lots with r17 and start .05 off the lands and then run in .025 at a time for the rest and run barns ttsx 140 gr

.

Hope the fires in California die down I'm headed that way in November if its not all burnt up. To hunt pigs with dad

I feel like a kid at Christmas waiting to open 🎁 .the cameras at the house show my brass has arrived and I'm stuck working

Congrats !!! Way to ruff it and pull it off can't beat the view of the 🌟 at night

Have fun and enjoy.

I forgot to mention ammo like we all know is expensive as f##k around 40 or 50 bucks a box

Great guns buddy got his at lone wolf was 599. Light and no recoil

Its time to go hunt!!!!

Just one more weekend for you to get them out

Will do .I'm also working on another 7-08 a savage modle 14 for the same hunt with my dad just in case I can't get my group dialed in .

Mid week bump

Mid week bump

Tracking has my brass on its way should get here Friday and with the data from the rifle free bore I should have a much better start at making a better bullet and hopefully a better grouping

Don't underestimate the energy the lighter powder charges carry .my dad only runs a 245 Powerbelt and a 100 gr charge its not supposed to be good for elk but I've seen two hit the dirt one at 90 plus and the other at 40 neither went much more than 40 yds after accuracy over power .I'd do shoot a heavy load in my 50 tho a 338 and 150 gr is what one likes .here is the elk shot at 40

The Teflon trick I learned on another forum it works great .I think the elr is so far ok the boys at gunwerks are running them in there high dollar muzzy and I haven't heard to much on another option with a high bc .I wish I'd have learned the Teflon trick sooner I've got antiseaze in the threads of one of my guns and its a pain in the butt as it traps the powder in there with it and is hard to remove once its in there .I've got the paramount pro in 45 so my loads are much hotter it will run 112 gr by weight or 160 gr by volume .with out a break its a heck of a lot of recoil.start low and build for accuracy .

A couple pics at a few places and some one will definitely know who it is the pics don't lie.pretty Shi tty to teach your kids that .it's a bad thing when you need GPS tracking on the stuff you put out to hunt with.

Blackhorn is more responsive than pyrodex or 777 so blackhorn has a site and recommendations for powder charges don't count on the tube markers to be accurate if you can weigh charges at 100 gr by volume is 70 gr by weight 120 gr volume a max charge probably for your gun is 84 gr by weight. Use Teflon tape on the breach plug threads to prevent stuck plugs and you can use your standard cleaning supplies when running Blackhorn .your gun and your shoulder will let you know what it likes for powder weight.make sure you have the breach plug for blackhorn its different.depending on location I can give you a hand I've got 5 muzzys. I'm in Gilbert
