[Heym SR20]

Just to make you all salivate a bit more. I can see the fun of this.

Jacketed, why do you ask?

Just out of interest, I'm learning what's out there.

.458 is well catered for considering

I have to say I was given a try on a 45/70 and was hooked. I've not taken the plunge yet though...yet

I got my first 45/70 46 years ago , I haven't been without one ever since .................. take the plunge .

Hornady do a very good 250 gr monoflex copper bullet, expands to about .8” with sharp petals.

This is 2200 fps at the muzzle, shot into 10 gallon adblu containers filled with water, retrieved from the 3rd container in a row.

The velocity thing is so dumb. Who dreams this crap up. And who the hell checks. Utter nonsense.

Agreed.

I wanted to take my 45/90 stalking in Scotland, nope,not legal.

Take it bear hunting? Yes!

Hi Sharps,

I am going to be moving towards mono metal shortly, to get ahead and future proof - what accuracy are you getting? Performance looks good and what powders have you settled on?
I currently get same hole accuracy with sierra 300gr and n135 so I am loathed to change.

It’s genuinely the most accurate bullet out of that gun (remlin), 1” at 80 yards, the limiting factor is probably me.

Powder wise I’m using 8208xbr which won’t be a lot of help as it’s a REACH powder but n130/35 should be fine.
