I'm tearing down you not your kid. I think you're starting your kid to young. Hell you may drive him to join PETA in the long run.  | |||

As to the original comment about a solid copper bullet at those velocity. Wouldn't be my first choice but that is me. As to when to take you child hunting depends on the child. My oldest son was not into hunting. Pretty much forced him to tag along when he turned 13 or 14. He spent most of his time on the 3 wheeler (shows how long ago that was). Youngest son was just the opposite. He begged to go. We spent hours with the red ryder in the back yard. I decided he would go when he turned 9 or 10. Only problem is he died at age 7. I would give anything I owned to have the memories and times Snells already has. If he/she wants to go and can only sit in a blind with you don't miss those chances. You don't know what tomorrow will bring. As usual just my $.02 Paul K | |||

Ted, what's wrong with what I asked? | |||

I'm sorry I offend so many people here with my opinion about kids and what age I think they should or shouldn't start hunting. | |||

You took 3 shots The age Snellstrom chose to take his son on his first hunting trip.....a talking point.....maybe You asked Snellstrom if he was doing this for himself or his son.....and the farm animal jab I saw the last two as insults to the father and it's Snellstrom you insulted not me. I wont even tell you how old my children were when they started in the shooting sports or what rifle cartridge they used first on deer ________________________________________________ Maker of The Frankenstud Sling Keeper Proudly made in the USA Acepting all forms of payment | |||

Sorry, but that's always a question. The farm animal statement was a low comment but I didn't post pictures of dead Non-indigenous goats and pigs. | |||

Okay, now that y'all got that out of your systems, back to the OP's topic.... And it is no wonder. When I pasted my comments into the window I lost a couple lines of text. What I meant to post was that I when I load with BlueDot I choose to use loads near but still below the maximum level. 18.5 grains is what I prefer to use in the .22-250 with 40 grain bullets to reduce the risk so often mentioned. You cannot double-charge that load since the .22-250 case only holds 32 grains of BlueDot. 37 grains (18.5 x 2) will overflow the neck because 18.5 grains is 55% of the case volume. Sorry for the confusion, I should have read my post immediately after it showed up in the thread.  . | |||

All I got to say is this: see what a 45 gr TSX does a 2700 feet per second BEFORE you say it won't open! I started hunting on my own at 9.

One other thing Mick, I would rather have a bullet penetrate than blow up on the shoulder blade. My whole goal with using TSX is penetration. 45 gr TSX going 2700 fps will shoot through most deer thoraxes. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ J.

She was actually nine but the rest is accurate. Glad you were there for her buddy.    | |||

Snellstrom--It would be worth whatever the cost to see that look on the boy's face. Who is he hunting for?? Take a real idiot to not figure that one out. Are you telling us he didn't use a .300 magnum to take those animals? | |||

Just got around to working on the load. Started with Fed nickel plated brass, Rem 9 1/2 primers (the junk I just have) and put 25 gr of IMR-4895 under the 45 gr TSX and crimped in last groove with LFD. Will chrono with next set...but dam...at 100 off poor rest shot 5 shot group < 1". Could almost watch the hole appear there was such little recoil. Will report back with velocity. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ J. Lane Easter, DVM A born Texan has instilled in his system a mind-set of no retreat or no surrender.

If the load is 14 grains X2 = 28 grains and is a good bit less than 37 grains and will not over flow. I don't understand the 55%.
