Sure wish you could post a pic, sounds very cool. I made one today also, it holds 70 grains of FFF holy black..High winds n T-storms n tornados have stopped my shooting. So i have been making antler measures, have been putting lanyards on half dz. I made a 15 gr one, still cleaning my work table off. That may take me til this Fall as slow as i am. I fixed a hanging board above work table. I have hung my 3 powder horns up n my 3 Possibles bags up. I am ordering 2 complete insert-bushing sets to install in my powder horns base. This will allow me to fill the horns without dribbling powder down the 1/4" spout opening.
You’re probably shooting about the cheapest load - ~ 35 gr loads of N110 is even cheaper than 70 gr loads of black/777.I decided last night that I was going to go to my local gun shop today. So after work, I headed there. When I walked in, I sort of got sidetracked. I started looking at the shotguns. I shouldered a new Benelli shotgun. That thang pointed like a dream!! Then I got back on track, I went back to the reloading supplies. I picked up a pound of N110 and 1680. They had about 5 lb of 4198. I was happy to see a good variety of supplies. For 2lbs of smokeless, I paid just a little bit more than a 8oz jug of BH209. On the way back to the house, I thought, they can keep that "black gold" . I will stick with my N110!!
Yep. It was IMR.You’re probably shooting about the cheapest load - ~ 35 gr loads of N110 is even cheaper than 70 gr loads of black/777.
Benelli makes a nice shotgun! I’ve been shooting a Super Black Eagle for about 30 years. Was that 4198 IMR or Hodgdon?!
Nice work.I was inspired by @brownisdown to chop about a 1 1/8” off a Boyd’s and then I installed a Spartan bipod adapter. All ready for my Brux next week.

Thanks. I used a belt sander to rough out the shape and then 150 through 600 grit sand paper to finish it. That laminate wood is soft and easy to sand. Then I sanded in a little Tru-Oil with 600 grit. Yes, that’s Coyote.ElDiablo,what did you use to round the end of the stock after you cut it off?That really looks great.I am trying to figure out how to round my stock that way.Is that one the coyote color?
Putting the Brux in the Boyd stock?Beautiful weather here so I did a bunch of chrono and terminal performance testing today with McGowen Omega, which I put back in the factory synthetic stock.
