IMR 4198 is an excellent mainstay powder for the 45-70. I shot this powder today but loads just under max. All grouped ok at 1 to 1.5 inches at 50 yds. 250g MonoFlex grouped best at 1 inch and SD was 5.3.

Three Shot groups taken at 50 yds with Ruger Marlin 45-70 SBL 19 inch Barrel : Hornady Manual used 22 inch barrel.

UPDATE:  I also included Momentum calculations.

Hornady 250g MonoFlex Best Group 

Load 47g Manual says vel  2100 fps  

Avg Vel. 2080.5 fps  Diff manual vs actual 20fps

SD 5.3

Muzzle Energy 2444 ft-lb

Bullet Momentum  10.27 kg·m/s

Note for comparison: A 175g 7mm bullet traveling at 3000fps has a momentum of 10.37 kg.m/s. Identical to this load. Hmmm!

Hornady 300g FNHP

Load 46g manual says 2000 fps

Avg Vel.1900.5 fps Diff manual vs actual 100 fps

SD 34.1

Muzzle Energy 2438 ft-lb

Bullet Momentum 11.26 kg·m/s

Hornady 350g RNFP

Load 43g Manual says 1800 fps

Avg Vel 1761 Diff manual vs actual 39 fps

SD 9.4

Muzzle Energy 2445 ft-lb

Bullet Momentum 12.17 kg·m/s

I shot a 400g FP and found the MV at 1413 fps. Momentum was 11.16 kg·m/s. Lower than the 350g due to significant velocity differences. To equal the 350g momentum, the 400g bullet needs a velocity of 1550 fps.

Thus, the 350g appears better at penetration than the 400g at 1413 fps and the 350g has a flatter trajectory. 

Conclusion: 250g MonoFlex with 47g is best load of these. The 350g Load comes in second. The 300g load was worst. The 300g loads need work to find best loads with different powder.

I do like the MonoFlex all copper said to retain 95% of weight and won’t over mushroom on deer.

On bear, it looks like the 350g Round Nose Flat Point would be a great black bear round with minimal mushrooming and great momentum/penetration

Good Shooting! 

On Bear, Big Bore Lever Rifles Like Modern 45-70’s Shine

Posted on by

In black bear hunting circles, the 45-70 lever action is highly regarded especially over bait. I am one of those who like big bullets at short range deer and bear. I bought the Marlin 1895 SBL specifically for short range hunting.

A lever action in 45-70 is a powerful friend on short range heavy timber shots. What is a shorter shot you ask? Most east coast whitetails are harvested inside of 100 yards and more likely inside of 60 yards in a woods setting. This makes the 45-70 lever guns so valuable. In addition, being a lever action, follow-up shots are much faster than a bolt rifle. On black bear, shoot’em till they drop if you can. 

Yes, I have rifles such as my 7mm Rem Mag to shine best at over 100 yards and well beyond but consider it out-of-place at very short range.

Of course, it was easy to talk myself into another rifle.

Have Fun, Shoot Often!

New Marlin 1895 45-70 SBL First Shots Out-Of-The-Box

Posted on by

 

For those who read my last article, I shot this brand new Ruger USA made Marlin 1895 45-70 right out of the box with Hornady 250g MonoFlex® gilding copper bullets.  

Hornady LEVERevolution 45-70 Government Ammo 250 Grain Hornady MonoFlex Polymer Tip Lead Free Box of 20

First, with iron sights, I used the rear peep, and black tip of the front sight on the first shot and hit 3 1/2 inches low out of the bull. See Target below.

 

Ok, I realized, I should have used the slightly lower green bead on the front sight, so I covered the bull with the green bead. Shots 2 and 3 grouped 1.5 inches in the bull.

Next, I mounted my Leupold VX 2×6 on the Picatinny rail and shot three shots at 50 yards (no wind) and grouped all three shots in 5/8 inch at 2x power.

I was impressed.

I moved the target out to 75 yards and shot another three shots, grouping 1.0 inch and increased magnification to 6x power (max).   

The Hornady three shots chrono an average of 1953 fps with a standard deviation SD = 3.1 fps out of my Garmin. Wow!! 

Here is the JBM Ballistic table below for the Monoflex with 100 yd zero.

Overall, I’m very impressed with both the rifle and Hornady ammo. Note the 1.6 inch drop at 125 yards.

I shot 17 rounds in one sitting at the range and my shoulder is fine.

Deer are the main target here out to 175 yards for 1000 ft-lbs. On black bear, I think 50 yards would be my max distance with 1700 ft-lbs delivered energy for full penetration. 

Good Hunting!

New Conceal Carry Pistol- Kimber Micro 9 Rapide – Update

Posted on by

I have on occasion worn my pistols as conceal carry locally, but most are too bulky, too heavy for everyday conceal carry.  My big requirements; weight, reliability, safety, and trigger pull/design and accuracy were utmost in my mind. 

I looked at many small conceal carry pistols. Gotta have a safety lever, light in weight, yet sturdy as all get-out. I bought the USA Made Kimber Micro 9 Rapide in 9mm (7shot) pictured below with my computer mouse. It has a 3.15 inch barrel and weighs just under a pound empty. Nice!

It is basically a Micro 1911. It has an ambidextrous butterfly safety on each side. The clips have a finger hook for a firm grip. 

Below is my first 10 yard 115g UMC Remington groups right out of the box.

My right/left group was excellent. I moved the point-of-aim higher and a bit lower as they vertically string . Trigger pull was clean and guess to 6 or 7 pounds.

April 22,2024, below a 4 shot Winchester 147g Hollow Points at 10 yards. Love the night sights. Recoil with 147g JHP was manageable given such a small pocket pistol.

Unfortunately it only comes with one clip. What? Ok, I bought an extra clip. 

Disassembly/reassembly video

 

Basic cost, $909.00.

Yes, that’s a lot, but l think it is worth it. There are a dozen color versions of the Kimber Micro 9. 

So far, it filled all of my requirements and it wears well with a sticky™ pocket holster. There it is, Invisible, in my pocket. The sticky holster holds itself in my pocket when I draw. 

Be Safe Out There!

10mm Glock 20 Essentials for Bear Hunting Backup

Posted on by

 The use of a handgun to ward off a bear attack is proven. It is not uncommon for aggressive bears to climb up your bowhunting tree stand with you in it or perhaps follow you back to your truck at night or a wounded bear attacks during recovery. 

Below, find an article with documented incidents where handguns were 98% effective on all bear species black, brown, grizzly and polar. 

Handgun Defenses Against Bear Attacks – 170 Documented Incidents, 98% Effective

Unfortunately, my new 10mm Glock 20 has set of daylight sights which makes the Glock defense use in dim light or darkness difficult at best.  I swapped them out for cost effective Tritium sights so I can see them in darkness.

I purchased a simple set of TRUGLO tritium sights for around $55 bucks. Not a bad price. Take the top slide off, remove the spring and barrel to get to the front sight nut and prep to remove the rear sight. 

 

You will need to purchase a tool for the front sight nut. 

and at least a push tool or bench vise and a wood or brass punch as in the video above. 

Next, is a holster for my Glock. 

I need instant access for a possible aggressive bear attack, thus I purchased a heat molded chest holster called the Kenai from Gunfighters, Inc. Cost $160.00

firearm

The first time the holster gripped the pistol, hearing a click,  I wasn’t able to pull it out without using great force. The Kenai literature instructed to carefully use a heat gun on the click/grip area.  Luckily, I had a heat gun. It worked.  Now, after heat adjusting, I can readily pull the pistol yet keep it secure.

Some folks find that a chest held binocular case can interfere with the draw of the pistol.  However, the holster can be adjusted to allow fast access. Below is  my Vortex Bino’s case with my Glock 20.  The bino case is huge, perhaps too big to wear. The pistol draw needs both hands. One hand to hold the holster base, while my right hand draws the pistol.

I will holster and practice drawing and shooting it with my binoculars on and off. If I’m on a bear stand in a tree, I will likely not wear the bino case. 

Below this video pitts the 10mm against the 44 magnum. 

A few year back I also did a 44 mag video below. In that fishing scenario, the 44 mag already drawn on an approaching bear, worked for the first shot but the recoil raised the pistol losing fractions of seconds to get back on target. 

Good Hunting!

 

Backup Black Bear Medicine

Posted on by

I have hunted black bear in Ontario, Canada many years ago with my 68 pound recurve bow. Canada does not allow hunters to carry a backup pistol. My Outfitter said I probably would not need bear spray. Right? My experience with a very aggressive and very large boar instantly changed my mind. 

Today, with a bear hunt in September, I reviewed my 45ACP as a backup pistol. Yes, it can work but it is considered marginal. I have always liked the 44 magnum as a brown or black bear backup. But you will likely only get one good headshot, if it charges. I tested a 44 mag for a moving head shot. It wasn’t easy and I had only 5 more shots left. The 44 mag with 250g or 300g or 454 Casull are very powerful but many can’t handle the recoil. If you can handle the recoil and shoot it straight, go for it. Many are true believers. 

Enter the 10mm Glock 20 Gen 5 semi-auto pistol (Retail $620)

Glock 20 Gen5 MOS Pistol

It is a better option for a semi-auto, throwing 15 hard cast 220g bullet at 1200 fps delivering nearly 700 ft-lbs on each shot. 

Underwood Ammunition 10mm Auto 220 Grain Hard Cast Flat Nose Box of 20

Underwood Ammo says “Hard cast flat nose bullets are non-expanding, powerfully penetrative bullets that are designed with your woods defense needs in mind; whether fending off wild hogs or black bears, the hard cast flat nose bullets are consistently effective in taking down any wild animals that you may encounter. In contrast to the round nose non-expanding bullets, the flat nose bullets are able to pierce through dense bodies of mass while maintaining their nose forward position, which is optimal for maximum penetration. ­Underwood Ammo’s hard cast featuring a “Black Cherry” coating. Equipped with enhancements from the previous Hi-Tek coating. “Black Cherry” coating is a polymer-based compound; its thermal stability allows it to handle more than any other coating today. The coating will protect against gas cutting with a high degree of wear and abrasion resistance. The “Black Cherry” coating prevents lead to bore contact, thus virtually eliminating lead fouling. All Underwood Ammo rounds utilize flash suppressed powder so that your vision will not be compromised if it becomes necessary to use your firearm in low light.”

The 10mm  is increasingly used as a hunting firearm for thin skin big game and a reasonable bear backup that allows faster follow-up shots. 

This 10mm 15 shot pistol is apparently taking the Outdoor Industry by storm say many reviews. Like the 44 magnum, the 10mm really does not have enough energy to penetrate a bear skull but most shooters can handle its recoil.  We shall see… I just purchased one. Yes, I needed a good reason to add it to my hunt options. 

 

Below is a comparison article from Meateater of 10mm vs 45acp

How you carry the pistol will also be discussed. How handy is it?

Browning X-Bolt Speed 7mm Rem Mag with Hand Loaded IMR 4831 Powder and 168g Nosler ABLR for Moose

Posted on by

X-Bolt Speed

My Browning 26 inch 9.5 twist rifle barrel likes hand loaded 7mm 168 grain Nosler ABLR with a hot load of IMR 4831 per Nosler web load data. I chrono’d an average of 3005 fps. Wow! These are cookin’ !! COAL was 3.255 inches. No pressure signs except the primer was a bit flatter… as expected. Three rounds measured 3/4 inch but more testing will firm that up. I will change the trigger to a Timney at some point as it is impractical to easily adjust with a 2mm Allen wrench on a sealant filled screw. If you like 4 pounds for a factory trigger it works, for some hunters, not me. All my rifles are set near 3 pounds. 

Research with Bryan Litz Applied Ballistics Book finds that  the Nosler 175g ABLR Form Factor of 0.94 is considered low drag but the 168g ABLR is considered VLD Very Low Drag with Form Factor of 0.896 thus holding its energy better at long range than the 175g ABLR.

Assuming I use the 168 Nosler ABLR for long range Newfoundland moose hunting, I can reach out in a large open terrain tundra-like bog with my BOG tripod Death Grip to steady the shot out to 600 yards.

Distances I will practice this summer, in prep for the hunt, is out to 600 yards. With a 300 yd zero, at 100 yards the bullet is 3 inches high and 150 yards is 4 inches high, dead-on at 300 yards and Max Point Blank Range is 376 yards. At 600 yards terminal energy is 1822 ft-lbs and still traveling over 2200 fps. At 400 yds it holds a truck-load of energy at 2200 ft-lbs. Just have your laser rangefinder at hand and be ready for a follow-up shot. The 60 degree bolt throw is a big plus for very fast second shots.

Below is the JBM ballistic report for the Nosler 168g ABLR at 3005fps and zeroed for 300 yards.

Sent email to Timney Triggers to Test Trigger for Browning X-Bolt- They Responded

Posted on by

Hope to hear back from Timney folks. They Responded.

In just a week or two Timney will send a Trigger for the X-Bolt to test and share with readers, including my removal of the original trigger, replacement and hunting/shooting tests. You don’t need a gunsmith! The shooter has choices of pull weights set at the factory. Mine will be 3 pounds pull weight.

Browning X-Bolt Speed in 7mm Rem Mag

My readers are aware that I am hunting moose in Newfoundland again. My last moose fell to a single shot from my .375 Ruger, but because of recoil, I took precious seconds to chamber a second round. By the time I had a round in the chamber, the moose fell.

I did not practice this chambering of a second round. I suppose if I were hunting Cape Buffalo, my practice would have been quite different …as if my life depended on it. 

As many have said, “Moose often do not fall quickly to a single shot.” And they can move quickly into cover making a second shot more difficult.

The shooter must be prepared to quickly, eject the spent case, rechambering a new round and  follow-up with a second or even third shot. There is plenty of video evidence of this follow-up on the internet. 

With larger traditional heavy recoiling rifle calibers like.  a 300 Win Mag or heavier, the shooter takes more time due to recoil. He lifts the Mauser like bolt high at 90 degrees, pulls back hard to empty the chamber and closes the bolt with a second round. 

The Browning X-Bolt “Speed” in 7mm Remington Magnum above has one of the fastest bolt throws on the market today. The “speed” refers to the short bolt throw 60 degrees to eject and smoothly chamber a second round.

Bolt throw Speed was key to my purchase and I tested many bolts first hand as I shopped. 

I purchased this rifle with a 26 inch fluted barrel in 7mm Remington Magnum with a removable muzzle brake. I installed my Leupold VX-6 3-18 just like in the image above. Love that scope!!

Since I reload, I found some new reloading dies for it.

Trigger pull is adjustable down to 3 pound but came set to 4 pounds.  The caliber choice 7mm Remington Magnum works for both short or long range shots out to 500 yards with Nosler’s 175g ABLR.  On  paper, ballistic data says the ABLR leaves the muzzle at around 3000 fps with max load RL 22 powder. We will see what I get for accuracy as some rifle barrel twist rates have stability issues for the bullet.

 My ballistics chart says, at 500 yds at sea level and 40ºF the 175g ABLR will clock 2332 fps and have  2113 ft-lbs of delivered energy.

More soon!!

Heavy Bullets in .277 Caliber – See The New 6.8 Western Cartridge

Posted on by

As I was reading below in Outdoor Life, the . 270 WSM (Winchester Short Magnum) favors lighter weight and stable bullets in the 130 to 150 grain class with a 1:10 twist rate. But what about a 165 or 175 grain bullet? Not so much as a longer bullet, for the same twist rate. It becomes less stable. Seems that Winchester engineers and hunters looking for a .270 with more moxie than the WSM for Big Game had to design the cartridge to fit a longer heavier bullet and came up with a new cartridge last year, the 6.8 Western and then design the twist rate faster 1:7.5 inches. If you like the .270 WSM then you also might like the new 6.8 Western in a Winchester Rifle if you shoot big game at long range, like on a western hunt. To reach further, the 6.8 Western is topped with a Nosler .277 165g ABLR with a G1 Ballistic Coefficient and Sectional Density that is tops in its class for retained energy. As well a Sierra bullet in the 175g class is available as well. The cartridge fills a hole for long range western hunting for those who choose that long range hunt capability. 

https://www.outdoorlife.com/story/guns/the-new-68-western-is-a-versatile-big-game-hunting-cartridge-from-browning-and-winchester/

 

The cartridge is made by both Browning and Winchester. 

Great Winter Reading! But wait! I did a ballistic chart on the 165g Nosler AB. Lets look! The MPBR for this round is 333 yards with a 4 inch radius for elk/moose and still packs over a ton of energy at that range. Wow! And with a sectional density of .307 penetration is unbelievable with the AccuBond LR.
