One advantage of the virus if you want to look at in a positive light is that I'm catching up on a lot of reloading. I have enough centerfire ammo loaded to start a war with a third world country. I'm always putting off the deer rifles until just before season but not this year. Today is the 450-400 NE and a 300 Savage.
 . Afterwards a little time spent with Ruark is on the agenda.

Rich,
Just a friendly warning, and I know you already are aware, but a little time with Mr. Use Enough Gun can get wheels turning. My friends in Zim are telling me most trips are getting rescheduled. |

I haven't shot my 450/400 in a long time. Kind of over kill for a whitetail deer.

Wayne I'm working up a reduced load for it so I can use it on deer. I've been successful with a 375 and a 416 Taylor doing this. My 270 will tear up a deer worse than the big bores. You can eat right up to the hole.

Mine is a double Manton. Been meaning to do the same thing just haven't got around to it in the last half a dozen years. But I did work up a cast load for the 577 and the 416 rigby.

Rich, I worked up a 450/400 load with 210 grain 41 Magnum pistol bullets and velocity. I can't remember what powder I used, maybe 4227 or 2400. I got "close enough" regulation to make a fun walk around the farm plinking double. Sadly for me the owner came back over the mountains and took his gun home.
