UPDATE: New Handi Rifle Videos....in HD !
« on: September 16, 2012, 12:45:26 PM »
So went upto a buddies piece of property today and finally got my scope all zero'd in. I managed to even get some footage over all my exctitement. I am firing those BVAC loads (http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/product/AMM-905) that I got through CTD. The ones rated at "1900 fps". Well, they might not go to advertised 1900 but they kick. They do smoke quite a bit, as for fouling or left behind powder, very minimal.  I only put 10-15 rounds down range today in a hour time span and my shoulder is feelin' it right now :D BUT i'm young, i'll heal fast.  These are EXCELLENT loads as far as I can tell. I dug a bullet out of the oak round that was catching all the bullets behind the target, and it wasn't even disformed. Dug it's way almost all the way through the 18" in diameter Black Oak Round...against the grain. Anyway, here are the videos...please comment/subscribe if ya have a youtube account!

All in all, I am really digging this new gun. No regrets on going with such a big caliber. Very happy Handi-holic here ! (However I think i'm staying with just the .45-70).
Enjoy the vids!

P.S - Anyone else think that MAY be a bit farther than 50 yards? We didnt measure it out. Here on the video it is looking a bit farther. Opinions?

Is that the hollow point from Remington? Do you happen to know if they are legal in California? LOVE the Marlin my man, excellent finish on the gun. That there is my dream .45-70, but the budget doesn't allow that right now :D My single shot Handi will have to do.

Looks like your having a good time with your new rifle!!;)

I don't want to get down on you, just want to comment about eye and ear protection.  I lost most of my hearing in one ear and almost half in another. You only have two eyes, i know it dosent seem cool but please try to use these things so you can enjoy shooting as long as possible.

I'm jealous when I see shooting like your doing, we are too populated her to just go shooting "out back". Even if safe, the cops would show up to see what's the noise about...

Have fun and be safe!

I appreciate the concern CW. Really, I do. Especially coming from a guy who has lost a majority of his hearing. If you look closely in the beginning of my video "Final sighting shots" you can see me inserting my little cheapy ear plugs. They are made by remington (Only $4.99 at my work [K-Mart]). I'm waiting for the real nice earmuffs to go on sale to pick those up. But in the meantime these little rubbers pieces of crap have to do :) The eye protection actually just went on sale today (Funny you should mention it) so I was alreadd planning  purchasing some of those tomorrow. I already have horrible vision and have been wearing contact lenses since the age of 14, i'd like to conserve my sight and sound as best as I can no matter how "un-cool" I look.
I'm really loving this gun, There is a photo attached of my final shots yesterday. I measured the grouping, the farthest distance between any two of them is 5.5". Except that one waaaay far right at 3 o' clock, that was my first shot :) , not a bad distance right?So considering this was one of my first time shooting a highpower rifle and my VERY first time sighting in a scope,  would ya'll consider this a steady grouping? Should I have my buddy do a final sight in?
 
Thanks,
-Evan

Gotta love living in the hills! Awesome piece of property I was at yesterday! 20 feet to the right of me there is dozens of chest heighth rocks COVERED in ancient indian grinding holes (I'm talking like a couple hundred) Those rocks were like there "counters" back in the day. Very fortunate to live where I do !

Great to hear Evan!!  Your eyes are a priceless comodity, you gotta do everything you can to protect them. Your correct, I did not see the ear plugs, good show!

The target does look good better for the first ever shots!!! I have little doubt they will improve!

The 45-70 with a 1800 fps 400g bullet, fired form a handi,  is NO SLOUCH in the recoil department either! I like to limit the vel to 1600 for 400's personally. ;)

Yeah, those 400 grain "1900" fps loads kick hard. Especially in the prone position, the stock butt doesn't sit flush against the fatty part of your shoulder, but more on the rotator cuff. This made the recoil intesify greatly. I now know to either prop the gun up higher if in full prone, or to just shoot from a kneel. The kneel seems to remain very steady. My buddy who served in Iraq for 2 years said they taught him that  "sit on your foot" technique. It's a natural stool! :D
