N..I kinda suck at electricity stuff...
I know nuff of it to get inta trouble...
But....
Not ..enuff to get out of it... :0/

The rain let up fer and hour...so....

Zeroed...

Only shot from 50 yards tho..

Made little round ball loads..fer small game..
Lee n.5 dipper n red dot powder..
Use the funnel as a hand press to seat the ball..works good.

Had to pull the gun apart to adjust the firing pin strike to center it more..
Mutch more betta now..way more reliable..with rifle primers..
When it hit off center before..sometimes it would fail to fire..

Just took a little file work on the cocking lever..n presto...works great.. :0)

Oh..the target was only 50 feet away..

The bullet hole to the left was me...booboo... not the rifles... :0/

A 218 mashburn bee is born....
Gonna be a nice combo i think..

A used ruger varmint barrel..cut n re chambered..
Still gotta cut the extractor grooves tho..

Oh clocked the little round ball loads..1100 fps...

Barrel completed..test fired..n newly formed cases resized fer loading

Oh n a standard 218 bee..next to a fire formed one.. :0)

Made 6 to play with...

Good news..
Was able to buy a few cases from a place called ..track of the wolf..
So i bought 10...
Fer $20.00 bucks...

Slight fitting to the barrel i have nn..they work..!

Just something elese to play with.. :0)

Not a new build, but Ive been messing with some heavy weight 30-06 loads for moose vs my 300 Win Mag. The 30-06 is a Rem 7400 carbine with the 18.5" barrel. Its nice for tight quarters, but I wanted a heavy bullet. I ended up with 55gr IMR 4831 under a Hornady 220GR round nosed Interlock. I am amazed with the accuracy, given a 18.5" barrel on a Rem 7400...100 yard 1.5" 3 shot group. Not benchrest but for under 200 yards for moose...should work.

That is really good..!

I would think you would have mooey nuff ..."THUMP"..Too.... :0)

Got the 44-40 wcf to work...
Well fire..
Got some refinements to do...
Fer it to be totally correct..

But happy fer now..

Extraction n ejection is workin pretty good now..
;0)

230grain cast boolit at 1308 fps..
Need a lighter boolit tho...
As these are not stabilizing all.that well..
A very slow twist rate in this barrel..

Me new favorite..woodchuck..
Boolit..even starts out at .44 caliber..
N..one big hollow point.. :0)

Powder coated some 44 cal bullets...

In this case not for speed but rather to bring the diamiter up a coupla thousands of an inch..
Turns out the 44 cal bore i have is a tad on the large side of things..
So i am hopin that these will ..fit..a bit better..
N fly strait better..

Well see...

I actually had to another coat of powder coat paint to get the desired eefect...

Went with peep sights..
I really like this little rifle.. :0)

Buggah of a time zeroing this little rifle... :0/

Can not bore sight it..
Gotta find a BIG..sheet of fresh card board..

As it is on target at 25 yards but not at 50... :0/

The bore is really big..
Slugged the bore n it is .. .435..
Should be .429....
So i have a bad case of bouncing bore bullets... :0/

Probly halfta make a bullet mold for it.....
Fer now .440 round balls sized down...to .436 or 7...may halfta do...

I have not tried anna copper jacketed bullets yet...

I came across some 30-06...308 ..n..35 rem brass..
If annabody needs some ..not tons but a goodly hand full..25 of each or so...

Ordered a round ball mold in.440..
N.. started making a forearm..

Have not completely decided how I wanna anchor it down yet...

Did it this way...

Used the thread protector. ...
For the suppressor as a lock..
Seems to work pretty good.
