A change of subject in this thread, but thanks for the update Justme. Sorry HeavyMetal
I can't see much any more. My favorite long gun load over the .22lr, .270, and .3006, was the .222. I know you probably know why.
I primarily loaded for accuracy, pattern, and best load results.
My younger brother was a competition class on the Air Force team of his day. He used an accuraized M1 Grand .3006, and shot mostly a 1000 yards, but he may have also shot out to a mile, and I recall he won his fair share of contests. Guns kinka' run in our blood down here.
My best loading results with pistols in the order of best were an accurized Colt CC .45acp, off the shelf Ruger Super BH single action .44mag without a transfer bar safety, and an old S/W Texas Ranger .38 revolver my dad used in his days. I do not like the .357 loads, or the .45 revolvers I've owned, but I still have a Colt Python...it just has the feel of a fine weapon and it thinks it is a precision fire breathing cannon.
I'll also say all the 9mm's I ever owned were all-over and beyond the targets too.
Thanks for reminiscing with me.
