You are probably right!! It has had many rounds shot through it over the years and some have reported that these ultralight barrels were of questionable quality. Scope and mounts are tight and good. Barrel is bad, but I keep it for sentimental reasons. Thanks for commenting!

I have a video on 38 special with Unique, anything in particluar you are looking for? If so I will see if I can put together a video for you.

Thanks!!

Woo Pig Sooie!!

Yes that about covers it!! Nostalgia and sentimental value is why I keep this one around.

1:8

Yes those charges of 26.5g and the one shot at 27g did show pressure signs. As stated in the description, the velocities in the video are bad chronograph readings. The actual true velocities are in normal range. The max listed on Hodgdon website is 26.2. 🙂

I have since threaded the barrel and suppressed tame down the recoil sweet now

Now it is suppressed not as much recoils felt!

Yes it is; being that they are the same powders!! (just different branding)🙂

To each his own. Modern bolt action rifles in 250 Savage can easily be loaded above book max (45,000 cup) without pressure signs. As stated before, the saami pressure was set at 45,000 CUP or 50318 psi when it came out in 1915, due to the 250 Savage cartridge being used in lever actions. Modern bolt guns can easily handle 62,000 psi; thus resulting in higher muzzle velocities. Thus the experiment was a success. Thank you for watching and commenting!!

@CloningersGarage Sorry to disagree. It is irresponsible to advocate exceeding industry pressure standards. Your disclaimer will not protect you if someone chooses to act on what you're doing. You're demonstrating exceeding known safety standards. You have not shown any pressure testing apparatus and therefore have no idea what your pressures actually are. There are too many variables in ballistics to just cross your fingers and hope for the best. And c.u.p./ l.u.p. and psi do not have direct conversion standards. Ie, 45000 cup in the .250 Savage and in the 7x57 are not equivalent, and do not convert to psi. You can do what you want with your rifles. Finger, eyes, etc. But putting it out there for less experienced folk is asking for a lawsuit. Just because one can, it doesn't automatically follow that one should. I'm not trying to pick a fight. Just trying to spare some real trouble. Consult legal counsel if you doubt what I'm saying. Cheap insurance.

@@marksellers4875 Fair enough!! I hope you will look at some of my other content as well. Thank you for watching and commenting!!

@@CloningersGarage Thanks for considering my imput. Much appreciated

Yes, same cases. Thanks for the recommendation. I will try to do my net videos using AA2520.

Have you tried starting lower in the grains? 22.5 is starting with cfe223. Maybe you’re pushing the heavy pills to fast , and the node is lower in the fps.

those velocities are inaccurate as stated in the description, but they are probably still hot loads

twist is 1:8

as stated in the description these velocities are incorrect, but they are still hot loads

@CloningersGarage ok that makes more sense, because I can't really imagine how you get 20% extra power when the max loads for 5.56 are at or near 100% case capacity already and thats a long bullet.

That’s what I was thinking

Rifle is great! It could be me shooting bad or it simple doesn't like CFE223. Check out the groups from my AA2495 video. CFE223 works great in my Gas Guns.

Yes, I definitely had to double check before resuming!!

I look at several different reloading manuals. Hodgdon has the max load with IMR 3031 as 34g, so I started with that load. The max pressure by SAAMI is 45,000 cup. I know that is low per modern standards but that is what the specs are for a cartridge developed in 1915 for the Savage Model 99 lever action. I started at this load with the intention of trying to reach pressures that are possible in modern bolt action rifles. I hope that answers your question. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment.

1:8 Twist on this Tikka T3x; Great rifle!!

I’m running the same twist rate on a gas gun and CFE .223 performed way better sub MOA @100 yards, projectile was sierra match king 77 grain

Try it, you'll love it

I don't have any to check right now, but I believe that for the Blue Bullets it was 1.625" when seated to the crimp groove. I am not sure on the red Bayou Bullets. I believe the norm is 1.59", though I have seated some 160g LSWCHP to I believe 1.66" which still fit in my Smith 686. That may be too long for some cylinders. I like how the 158g Blue Bullets shoot in both the .357 mag and the .38 Special.

@@CloningersGarage Thanks for the reply! I ordered some Blue bullets and I was just curious where you had your COL at. I'm looking forward to working up a load for my little revolver!

I have gotten better groups with CFE223 out of this rifle in testing after this video was done. CFE223 seems to also do very well in my AR's.

Cfe223 is a potential GOAT powder lol. I can't believe anyone would dismiss it or not like It. Also I'm 308 it cooks with great accuracy

Good info!! Thanks!!

Yes!! this is good to mention!! Thanks!!🙂

@@CloningersGarage I had a nice SS 686….6” barrel…. I regret selling it!

Yes!! Always refer to as many sources as possible; start low and work your way up!! Not all revolvers can take the same pressures.

Great Idea!!

I will be doing some more tests with Hornady 73g eldm and Sierra 77 tmk; and also other powders as well!!

Nice, 16g is still stout. Enjoy!!

H110 requires magnum primers!! 🙂

Very true, I use different components for my other rifles and there is definitely a difference.

But Mr HappyFunGuy, isn’t that 2 grains over Speer’s listing? Yes it is concerned reader, both my primer, case, and self will tell you it’s no problem at all!

Yes! Sometimes I forget, but only for one shot!! 😂

No, it has sentimental value.

Yes the Little Dandy is a great way to load powder quickly. Do some research to find out which rotor you need for your preferred powder and charge weight. www.rcbs.com/on/demandware.static/-/Library-Sites-RCBSSharedLibrary/default/dw2308a13f/productPdfFiles/rcbsPdf/LittleDandyChart.pdf

Have had mine for 2+ decades. I've used it hand-held, mounted in a stand and in a turret. They are great! I have 25 rotors, stored in an MTM 12 ga plastic ammo box. Mounted in a stand is when they are at their best.

If I still had it I would look into this, thanks for the comment!

@@CloningersGarageissues with it?

@@Grizzlyman420 I never had any issues with it. It always ran great and was quite accurate as well.

@@CloningersGarage nice! I snagged the GF5 figured what the hell. Mixed reviews on em so I wanted to see for myself. 400 rounds straight out of the box no issues but I really don’t think these are 30-40k round aks and even that really isn’t much

I don't know about that. I have red dots on my pistols, but I have not ever thought about putting a red on my revolvers. If you do let me know how it works out!!

I do not know how rare they are, but I do believe the 250 Savage was designed t fit in the Model 99.

Not super rare but seem to fetch a grand or better

@TheREALLibertyOrDeath I payed 675 for it. It has a barrel band. I found out they made them in 1940-1942

@@mikebrown1188 oh nice, is that the carbine? Those might be of lower production numbers. Pre war is good, that mean Utica ny factory

@@TheREALLibertyOrDeath yes but not the tear down. I plant hunting with it. I hunt in SW WI

Yes!! Prices are definitely going up!!

Not anymore it isn't~

That's what everyone tells me. The bedding is fine and the scope is not loose. It appears that the barrels on some of these old Ruger M77 Ultralight rifles are not very good. I am just going to knock this up to a poor barrel and move on. Maybe I will replace the barrel in the future. It still works okay within 100 yds, which is all I ever used it for; many years ago. If I want something for longer range I will use one of my other rifles. Thank you for commenting and please come back for more content in the future!! 🙂

@CloningersGarage I had a M77 in 280 remington. No matter what I did , it wouldn't shoot well. Good enough for Woods hunting but not accurate enough for long range. I sold it and bought a Remington mountain rifle in 280 . This was when they first came out. It's a tack driver even with the light barrel.
