Okay guys. I've loaded up a box of donated Barnes bullets using donated bottle of 1680 powder. They look pretty mean. I haven't chronographed them yet. However, my uncle paid me a visit at my range to sight in one of his rifles, so before he left, I took the single shot out there and let him shoot it a few times. He loved it. Anyway, I took just one of these 275 Grain beasts with me just to see how it shot at 50 Yards. The recoil was not too bad and the bullet actually hit a bit higher than I thought it would. But it really put the whomp down on that railroad tie. I didn't Chrono it so I have no idea the velocity yet. But here's a few pics of the loads. They were taper crimped to .475", then LSC crimped to .474" and then re taper crimped again to .475"
