    Kodiak .72 loads

    The rifle has a 25 9/16 bbl and weighs about 10 lbs. I asked the question - why should I use more powder than will burn in the bbl? One individual, that has done a lot of testing (600 rounds by his account), has used 185 grains of H777 and 200 FFg. I also hear/read that a number of guys in...

    Kodiak .72 loads

    Christian, I would think 130-145 behind a 770 conical would build a lot more pressure than 165 behind a PRB. I will most likey settle at 125 FFG Swiss or so which should be fine for hogs, bear, you name it. I made a statement that I used 165 and get crucified by someone who has no idea how I...

    Kodiak .72 loads

    I have a Kodiak .72 , as well. It's my 3rd one from Cabela's. The first 2 would not group "as advertised", so I sent them back and finally have one that will shoot both barrels within 3" at 65 yds. Windage deviation is 0-2" and vertical is 2-3" (Depending how I hold it) with 165 grains FFG...

    Round Ball Twist Rate

    Has anyone had success with round balls and relatively fast twist rates? Can you shoot PRB effectively through a 1:48 barrell? If so, do different calibers handle this rate differently? Can an 8 bore handle 1:48 the same as .62, .50? Thanks PJB

    FFG vsFFFG

    Thanks. Makes sense to me. I believe you meant to say GOEX FFFG is close to Swiss FFG - is that right? Anyhow, the only reason I got Swiss is because I am new to it and heasrd it was as good as you could find at this time. I'll try Goex or Graf and Sons, which is quite reasinable.

    FFG vsFFFG

    I understnd there is a difference is quality, pressure, power between Swiss and Goex (or at least quite a few folks seem to think so). My question is - Is GOEX FFFG equivalent to SWISS FFG? Is one man's FFG another man's FFFG??? PJB

    KODIAK EXPRESS DOUBLE RIFLE

    I shoot 125 grains of H777 FFg or Swiss FFG with no problem. I've read where guys have taken it to 185 FFg or more. These are quite stout barrels. Only problem I had was getting the barrels to regulate close together. I went through 3 rifles from Cabels's and the third one shoots both barrels...

    Pedersoli Kodiak .72 question

    I'm a new guy. You gents have a great forum here. I broke down and have a Kodiak .72 on the way. I had the same questions concerning the powerbelt elephant video. The guy at powerbelt bullets said the rifle used to take the elephant was a kodiak .50, 115 grains of Pyrodex Select and their 530...
