I sorted out about ~60 pieces of Winchester once fired brass, deprimed and ran it thru the tumbler yesterday while I was working on the rifle, dies will be here Monday I think, but I'll probably be steelhead fishing that day, gotta talk to Jack again to decide.

     I don't believe that I can add anymore to what's been said.  What you guys did is absolutely fantastic and Tim you are truly deserving of it and more. 8)  It is guys like all of you and things like this that make this such a great site.  Also the standards set and kept by Graybeard himself.   My thanks to all you guys.     Peshtigo

I've been kinda busy lately, and just stumbled across this topic. And speaking of stumbling, I stumbled across this site some years back, when I had only one Handi, had been through a divorce, moved to a new town, and hadn't been shooting in a few years. I soon found I had stumbled into a knowledgeable, sharing, generous, and entertaining bunch of people.

Because of GBO I have learned much about Handis, and about the folks on this forum. Tim has been a very large part of the reason I keep coming back here. I have phoned him at times when I couldn't figure out something. I have bought an sold and traded and received gifts from and with him. I even met he and his missus for lunch (or was it dinner?) once in Vancouver WA. There is no one more deserving of GBO members appreciation than Quick!

Reading this thread his makes me feel even more at home here, and even more fully appreciative of the people whom I've never met (I've met some, but not many) and give me the feeling of being with family.

Not only do I thank Bill, Wayne, Pete and H&R, for giving this great gift to Tim, I thank them and many others here for the gift unexpectedly given to me with the reminder how humanity, appreciation and fellowship, even among all us geographical strangers, can cause my eyes to mist up over a bunch of pixels and electrons.

Thanks guys... I love this place!

Range report is a bit overdue... ::) ;) Hint Hint nudge nudge... ;D

CW, I've posted several range reports since, you were just off playing with your other toys!!  ;D

Here's the last trip results, I had some problems with primers for a while, misfires with off center pin strikes and pierced primers, but not after I switched to Rem 7½s.

Looks like a shooter just the same Tim!!!

 I figured since July, you must had been out shooting it, but also assumed you would have posted up here... ::)

I have a couple that are also off-center FPS, but haven't had issue with them. But then again, I have a small stock pile of rem primers and do use them allot. If your thinking they are some how better and maybe solved the issue, maybe they do the same for me. ;D

Anyhow, I sincerely hope you enjoy your achievement award, you certainly earned it my friend!!

Thanks, I was going to use it for a doe, but decided it just wasn't quite up to snuff with the lighter 80gr bullets, plus the 38-55 shorty stole my attention!  ;D I'll work with heavier bullets again to see where that leads me.

Tim,
  The 85GR Partition is Taylor made for you and this caliber!!! I don't know if they are available any longer. I may have some if you really want to try them. Also the 85Gr Sierra HPs should work well too.

Thanks CW, the 85gr NP was the very first bullet I tried, got poor accuracy, but only tried one powder and not with the Rem7½ primers, I still have over a box of them, so I'll have to revisit it with a different powder.

H322 was Ok with the 80gr, velocity wasn't great tho, H4895 was better according to Hodgdon, but I didn't chrono that day, range was too busy to set it up, BLC2 wasn't as accurate as I'd like, but was acceptable at 1½-2" at ~2650-2700fps. I've since grabbed a bottle of RL10x to try also, QL3.6 predicts a max load in my chamber and barrel length at 2748fps. I don't have any 748, but it looks good at 2819fps, I'll have to pick some up, thanks.

Mike, maybe I'll put a penny on the next target to see if I actually can hit one!!   :D

Ditto everything said previously !
Tim must have the patience of Job, and type really fast. I don't know how else he can be so informative, attentive, and almost always correct with so many members everyday.
In a cold and slick world, the GBO H&R forum is a warm and fuzzy place for guys who like tinkering with Handi Rifles until they get a loud BOOM, smoke and fire, and a tiny hole in a target a long way away. There's not that many places like this for guys like us.
Praise God and pass the ammunition !
