    Hunting loads Hawken Pistol

    i would avoid the conical for a different reason then the others have stated (unless i missed it). to get a conical to shoot as accurate as a round ball you need to get it to similer velocities. this means heavy charges in a rifle and even heavier charges in a short barreled pistol. i doubt a...

    4F in a pedersoli screw pistol

    i would assume 4F would be more energetic then 777. i wish i had a chronograph cause id test 3F vr 4F in the little puppy. from reports the gun should be able to shoot threw 1/2" ply wood at close range. i dont ever expect this gun to be "powerfull" just stronger then a red rider BB gun. -matt

    4F in a pedersoli screw pistol

    for those of you who are still saying this is a bad idea... please read my posts above. the pedersoli manual actually tells you to use 4F powder in the gun. also as stated by Medic302, the gun onley holds 10 grains of powder. we arent exactly talking about high pressures here. as to the point...

    Roundball Caliber for Large Hogs

    75 cal, any thing smaller and you couldnt be sure! on a more serious note: we should make a sticky on caliber recomendations so people stop asking this same question. -matt

    4F in a pedersoli screw pistol

    well ill be damned, yer right! i finally took the time to go to the pedersoli website and look up the owners manual. it does indeed say (exact qoute): if you go to the website and download the owners manual its on page 25. im assuming that "suiss" is a poor translation since they said they...

    my Jaeger has arrived!

    i tried but the pics come out blurry, my camera is kinda cheap. the picture of the barrel and rifling was sent to me by the builder. my camera wont take pictures of metal without tons of glare. -matt

    my Jaeger has arrived!

    went to the range again today and man was it ever a good day to go. it was sunny and a warm 70 degrees out with a nice gentle breeze. i tried a couple different loadings with varying degrees of success. first i tried Many Klatch's idea of reducing my powder load. this was successful to some...

    my Jaeger has arrived!

    ok range report time. i fired about 30 shots at the range trying a couple different powder loads and brands. the main load i used was 90 grains of 2F KIK. as it was the gun fired VERY low, about 10" low at 25 yards and about 12" low at 50 yards. so i did a ton of work with a file and got it...

    my Jaeger has arrived!

    if youve been thinking about a Jaeger but arent sure. these rifles are outstanding, mine is half way between a civilian rifle and a military rifle. the stock and wrist is very stout but it thins out to an elegent forstock and barrel. the swamped barrel gives the gun a very centered balance point...
