    well done @Araspring . . that is one good lookn bullet / Sledgehammer

    scope choice sounds good . . wonder if Leupold would put a mildot reticle in that model.

    probably should have a discussion on scope choices for subs at some stage.

    without a picture . .. it never happened !

    Yes a mildot would be nice!
    I was having a hard time deciding what to put on it but the Leupold came up on Trademe and should do the job for now

    I am wondering what scope to put on my 45/70 short. The 44 has a 4x32 Kahles with the very heavy outer crosshairs and that scope is great for quick target acquisition. I have been looking at the Leupold freedoms too and they have a 'black powder' reticle with heavy outer crosshairs and a sort of mill dot / drop lines system. Would a fixed 6x power be the go for accurate shooting to use alongside a rangefinder ?? Thoughts ??

    Hi I have a 1-6. I recommend a 1-4 or 1-6 with a nice quick reticle or illumination even better. Good for close up shot gun style but also for 200m if the opportunity presents.

    finally got around to looking at the Leupold Freedom range of scopes, the 1.5-4X20 with the Ballistic Reticle & dialable looks good @berg243 . . . look forward to seeing how you go with it.

    fixed 6X scope was a good start for me Moa . . . 200, 300 yard shooting a 6inch square plate wasn't a problem with my Marlin .30/30 with subs . . . magnification is still low enough that close range shooting wasnt a problem & it had enough magnification to make +200 yard hits on Goats & 1 unlucky Deer doable.

    I’m looking for any advice on subsonic 400gr jacketed rounds. I’ve got trail boss but most info is based on lead projectiles.

    ADI website...have to look around a bit to find it but single action rifle loads is where its at....heaps of great info there..trail boss ar2206 ar2208 three powders that popped out at me. looks to be very easy to go subsonic ..... oops just spotted the jacketed bit.... main screen will give infor on jacketed stuff. you could always use jacketed info/data as starting point.it wont be that far off.

    Cheers. For my Begara 45/70 I Cooked up a 400gr Speer jacketed load with trail boss.

    1000fps , gentle on the shoulder and sub minute groups.
    Nice contrast to my 2200fps load.....

    Hope you like neck chops because there looks to be a few. Actually its quite tasty should be quite a bit of steak there as well.
