Smokeless Rem/McGowan

[280longshot]

This gun shoots well sabotless to.

I would like to try some sabotless, got any suggestions?

Same load you're using now with 250 SST/Shockwave or Barnes 250TEZ knurled. I hunt with the Barnes, the deer "no likey".

Thanks

You'll need to use a wad under the bullet. I use a dry wool wad, stinks a bit but accurate.

I use 10/60 4759/h4198 with a wool wad and 275gr mh.

Tried shooting sabotless this afternoon... NOT GOOD
Enjoyed the day at the range but I can't say I enjoyed getting a 250gr SST stuck in my barrel...
I knew it felt tight but all I could do was push it with the starter and it came to a halt.
Barnes 250 TEZ is way loose and the 250 SST isn't going down...
Anybody tried the Parker?
How is the size compared to the two above?

MH is Match Hunter ok, sorry I'm not familiar with the Parker Bullets

Thanks

That's my fault man, I have not shot since it got warm and forgot to tell you I run the SST through a LEE .449 die and then knurl it up. The Barnes will drop right down without knurling.

Did you get it out?

The Parker 275 match hunters will shoot fine out of it.

Learning lesson #1 with the 250gr SST... lol

most Mcgowens will shoot the MH unsized and they fit pretty well, I say most, some might be a little on the loose side.

unless Tom has changed his prices on his dies the smooth die is either 158.00 or 163.00 shipped, I don't remember which, he has built me several. you can also check with Jeff Hankins @ Hankins custom guns, he has a bunch already made up ready to ship but I have never used his so I don't know what to tell you about them..
