So let's talk about pop guns.

I like revolvers, bolt actions, and pumps.

My favorites are my two Ruger M77's, one in .25-06, the other a 77V in .243. The varmint gun will shoot 3/4" MOA with my crude handloads...I buy factory seconds from Sierra , their factory is about 30 miles away.

The best I can remember, 70 gr Blitz in whatever brass I've got, neck sized, 46 grns of IMR 4350 with CCI BR2 primers.

Don't quote me on this load, but it does produce close to 3,400 FPS, according to the old Speer #9.

Now you can pretty much quote me on my favorite .25.06 load, 120 gr Nosler BTSP over 50 gr. of IMR 4831 with a CCI BR2 primer.

According to the book, 3,000FPS, and this load gives up nothing to a 130 gr. .270 load.

Btw, Finn, would you like pics of my Great Gran fathers original .Marlin .410 lever action?

Only 6K produced, and mine has the 26" barrel. Had to do a little smithy work on it, but I killed a rabbit with it a few years ago.

I also own a NIB Iver Johnson Champion 16 Ga. Supposdly never fired, but I don't buy that.

But it is as slick as snot on a doorknob, and the box it came in is marked like something like $7.50???

You've already seen pics of my Python Elite and Diamondback .22...I was hoping they would connect and produce a Cobra.

Now I've got to go check my .270 rounds as I'm pretty sure I have them moving at about 3300fps but they may not be as heavy as the 130 grain tip.
