Sure is quiet around here, what's everyone shooting these days?

I backed it down to 2.8 grains and its about the same tone as a CCI quiet but hits my little 2" steel plate with much more authority at 100 yards. I'm gonna chronograph it and play with the seating depth this week to see what kind of groups I can get. I may pick up some the Hunters Supply 58 grain slick coat bullets to see how they shoot. I'll also be be working up supersonic loads with Speer 33 grain HP's & Hornady 40 grain V-Max's.

My go to load for my Hornet has been 40 gr Vmax, Lil-gun powder, and a Rem 6 1/2 primer. I'm not playing with sub sonic loads though.

Those are the exact components I'll be using if I ever find one of those round tuits.

Took a couple of AR's to the range yesterday afternoon along with a few guys from work. I took a new to me .350 Legend along and shot a few rounds through it. I didn't shoot the .350 a lot but it seems like it wants to shoot so I may play around with it some this summer.

Well put off chores today and headed to the bench. Shot my 257AI ladder and narrowed down a starting powder charge weight. Then picked two loads and loaded 3 rounds of each. Faster load (2800 fps) was disappointing at 3” group. The second group loaded at 2700 fps produced a .6 group( 2 ragged hole with one out) will work on tweaking the load. Head space was a tad long.

Then shot my 226jdj and 280AI. They were shooting 18” high. Last time I shot them was at the Big Piney shoot last year. They were sighted in at 600 yards.

Then broke out a couple of revolvers. Ruger 38 special and a S&W Governor. Had never pulled the trigger on the Governor, Shot 45 acp, 45 Colt, and 410 buckshot. The Governor shot all three close to point of aim at 7 yards.

Took the 2x fixed Leupold off of my 256 barrel and mounted a Burris 4-14x rifle scope instead. Not worried about eye relief, as the pistol barely moves during recoil. I did have to top out the height adjustment in the "up" direction to get it roughly bore sighted where there Leupold was. ( I compared both with my laser bore sighter to hopefully be on paper with the new scope).

Anyway, it does kind of look ridiculous to have such a monster scope on it, but at least I should be able to shoot for group size now. I may leave it on after load development, or I may hunt down a "proper" handgun scope for it.

Forgot to put up a picture:
