I really hoped to try out my 44Mag rifle on a pig with 205 Jack Hammers that I worked up to 2170fps. But I happened to have my 308 rifle handy at the time - but those 124grain Hammer Hunters perform well out of that too!

My wife says that too! She also thought the pig was awesome.

It’s a whole lot of fun! And all the great tasting meat - Chops, Ribs, Roasts & Snausage - is a huge bonus!

And here’s another pic. I hope they come through this time!!!

Here’s one pic

I edited my post to include the pics

I shot this one with 124grain Hammer Hunter out of a 308.

I sent my accuracy test loads at 100yards yesterday. Turns out the 29.0grains of H-110 gives me about 1MOA groups. The N-110 also did okay but not quite as tight as the H-110. The Enforcer load was sadly all over the place for me (4inch spread) so I won’t be using that one again. Please note...

Way forward for me will be accuracy tests at 100yards without chrony strapped to my rifle. Specific test loads shall be as follows: 7 rounds N-110 at 26.8grains. 7 rounds H-110 at 29.0grains. 7 rounds Enforcer at 26.5grains. Hopefully one of these loads will prove accurate enough for my next...

So here are my results with hotter loads using the 205 Jackhammer bullets. I matched all parameters from original tests other than powder load amounts. I still didn’t see any pressure signs on any rounds, but I won’t go any hotter because I am already well beyond published loads. It’s notable...

My view is that all three powders appear to push roughly the same speed. I’ll be sending my new test rounds later today. I made them last night at same length as before for consistency so will be interesting to see if trends continue.

I decided to push my 205 Jackhammer loads further for my N-110, H-110, and Enforcer powders. I’ll redo my last 3 test loads on each powder, and then I’ll push up in 0.2grain increments from there. I think this will tell me two things.. I’ll get a more complete picture of my load limits, and...

I’ll take another look at compressed fill tonight. When I stopped my Enforcer loads at 26.4grain I didn’t work very hard to fill any more - I didn’t use elevated funnel and I didn’t do any vibrating. P.S. - It looks like my once fired brass didn’t stretch at all

Here’s a couple of my dummy cartridges I’d been working with.

The new Starline brass appears to run between 1.271” and 1.273”. Limiting factor on all loads was amount of powder I can physically fit into the brass with my longer cartridge lengths. I was actually surprised that I didn’t see any pressure signs anywhere. I’ll definitely be double checking...
