The top load from their charts made rounds that produce the tightest groups of all lever rifle rounds I have fired in all brand and caliber rifles I have tested. I started with their starting load and worked my way up to their top load.

For powder selection I followed Hodgdon's loads for H110 powder. I can't advise on its loaded length as I have always loaded and crimped cases in the crimp groove. The weight lost from the nose went into the body length of the 664 pattern. It seems that Lyman shortened the nose of a 454190 mold and resulted in a wider flat face on the front of the boolit. The nose shape fits the RF definition but the length of the nose is less than the 454190 pattern. The load info I am sharing changed my mind on the 100 yard shooter question. It has a short barrel almost into the trapper length range and I didn't think it would have enough sight radius to make it a 100 yard shooter. I picked up a 94AE in 45 Colt about 7 years ago. The world, I think we might be able to help if you step thru this with what you see. Some have worked for the biggest and custom outfits around This site has the most and the best tech people you will ever find. "My dad"Ĭheck this out-narrow it down some and let us know what you find and we will help you get up and run'in. Oh" also these rifles need to (almost) need be run like you are shooting 3 coyotes in your driveway after your dog. Get all bullet profiles in this range working and the rest will follow. Winchester used to set up the rifle, not ultralite or ultra heavy. Start with mid weight 250-255 cast or copper, that was the original design and Think 2 sections, 1-getting to the chamber, 2-cartridge to target.įrom your post action-3 seems most likely but verify. Can't gas it down the street if you are in theĭriveway. Or you just have a single shot, don't work chamber to mag. Pay no attention to anything after this as 1 to 3 (has to work) FIRST. I use Bullet as this is for castĪction step 4) Bolt pushes cartridge home and lugs are locked. Tune these 3 things and 85+ bullet shapes will be reliable in your rifle. See the 1 magicīullet nose working here or not. Think of the guides as the actions rifle sights. goesouta"otherTech term" the action early. Under chamber, 2-cartridge nose goesinta"Tech term" the chamber, 3-cartridge hits barrel above chamber, 4-flippes loaded cartridge (4 things can happen here, 1-cartridge hits low (here is the first cartridge length area, next cartridge stop)Īction step 2) Lifter going to up position.Īction step 3) Bolt pushing cartridge off lifter thru guides (aiming) for the chamber.

Forget others for nowĪction step 1) Mag tube onto lifter in bottom of action to lifter backstop. There are 4 action steps all tunable each in 94/92 Winchesters/Brownings and clones. To the chamber first or the rest is just a single shot. The rifle has to get the cartridge from the mag tube Put aside bullet diameter chamber fit for now. About 2-oclock ejectorįrom 12-oclock and a lower larger eject window right side action top. The angle eject has 2 primary different things from the old top eject. Tune the rifle to feed most any bullet not hunt for 2 magic bullets that will feed in these I think I can help you with a change of direction in the way to solve your feeding issue.
