Lazzeroni used to offer factory ammo loaded with 130 grain bullets, I think they were Barnes. I had some questions myself so I e-mailed Lazzeroni and they gave me some helpful advice.I started out with a conservative load of Reloader 25 (101 grains)with 125 grain Sierras just for fun and slowly worked up to a load that was a bit too hot (111 grains, 3953 fps). Of course I have backed it down, but the light Sierras never shot well, so I tried 124 g Nosler bullets.They shoot great (well, off the bench, anyway), but I never intended to hunt deer with the gun when I bought it.(I use a Marlin 30-30 for that, just about right for TN woods. I just wanted a powerhousefor the fun of it, kinda like my Ruger 454.)Anyway,there is something fascinatingto me abouthigh velocity guns and I was just thinking of trying it in the woods this year...
I didnt even think about doing it that way, good deal just that 70,000 psi chamber pressure makes me very concerned lol. would you mind sharing some more extensive detail on how you did it and what your exact load is now? I mentioned this thread to my friend who has a warbird he was really interested in possibly loading a 125 grain bullet for his we are both thinking it would make an awesome and very explosive long range (600+ yard) coyote round, you can PM me or send me an email.
