Found 14" stainless rechamber by Mike B at the gun show last night for $165... couldn't pass it up. Heck I couldn't even haggle, just bought it and went home grinnin.

I have Hornady and Sierra Data, But I'm looking for any feedback from folks regarding their favorite loads - also if anyone out there has one of these in a TC how do you like it?

Good Lord willing I'm gonna try it on an Elk this fall. :shock:

I have a 12" T/C Custom Shop barrel I like it.Hey, I think I saw that barrel you got it's magna-ported right ? Nice looking barrel.I like H-110,LiL'gun is even better in the 445.XTP's are the only bullet I like in the 445 or 444 240's and 300's shoot good.I'll look up my loads and send them to you I'll have to look them up.I reload alot and can't remember the load off hand

Yup that is the one. I took some of that yellow remington abrasive cloth/cleaner to it and got all the road dust off and it turned out to look pretty nice.

Now all I have to do is find brass - There was none at the show, and called a few places around town. Looks like I'll put an order in to Midway or Starline.

Looking fwd to having some additional data -

Thanks!

Sorry it took me so long the best load I have used is 32.3grs of H-110 with the 240gr XTP.
