      That bullet didn't do badly in my TC. It did okay, and I didn't experiment with powder charge. The 385 just did better, and since I...

      I think the deer will be scared of both. I use PRB because it's what I practice with (cheap) and the recoil is very mild by comparison...

      Yes, now that the rifle is sighted in, I won't be plinking with it. One or two shots pre-season will be enough punishment for the year.

      I shot a lot of those 385s over 110g of RS. Those loads are very effective but hard on wood stocks and the loose nut on the back of the...

      I have shot all of 1 of those Hornady 385 gr bullets. Loaded with 90 grains of 2f and I nopped out of any other shots. I melted them...

      As long as one is not hunting in Grizz country, I think the PRB is fine for deer.

      Truth, shooting the Hornady GP 385 grain bullet over just 80 grains smacks the snot out of me. But in the TC I have it's the most...

      500 grain conical and 100 grains of powder is minimum for Idaho deer!😂 . They're tough out here.

      When I put any oil on the moving lock parts, I use a tooth pick that I dip in a small drop of oil, and very very sparingly apply it with...

      Good point. Removing the lock is a necessity; disassembling it is not.

      Drive a ball through the bore and then try it in a chamber. If it slips in it's likely OK, if it shaves some lead the chambers are too...

      Nice group. I would be happy with that for sure. I am leaning to selling the Pietta. Its not as entertaining or fun to shoot as...
