Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters Anyone?

Have a link to the old thread about the .30 Sneezer? Lost mine somewhere along the way.

Thanks, was looking for the first thread but had forgotten about the links you provided. Found the first one late last night.

Ok, I’m sorry, but shouldn’t here be a “ 65 Geezer”? Probably be a muzzleloader..

Google Fu Skills?

I’m a 69 Boomer myself.

Bump this back up. Dan, what is your favorite hunting load these days? The Sneezer must be quite satisfying to use on pigs. Be Well, RZ.

……or Wheezer 😊

Chopper jockeys don't need O2 masks to fly and we spit out the open window on the side.

Rusty, I'm still toying with odds and ends these days trying to make a decision about loads. It was all settled down until I loaded up some with SRP instead of SPP and that stunt opened several doors. 5.2 Blue Dot with a 311041 sans gas check shoots pretty dang good most days. Now and again it's stellar. Might have to do with me getting a good night's rest?



Oddly enough, I've found with the rifle primers a couple other powders are in the running as well. RX7, 4759, and Li'l Gun. Round balls with black powder are a hoot also, but I have to call them them .30 Barkers

PS: Pigs hate this chitt.

Well Dan, I am not going to take any credit for influencing your choice or results....

but it is quite evident you've found out the same results that I have with regards to RL 7 and SR 4759...

I'm still mourning the loss of manufacturing of SR 4759, even tho I stocked up on 32 pounds of it.

playing with stuff like this sure is a lot of fun, isn't it?


recently I was at the range, with the 17 Fireball and was playing with those sort of loads, with jacketed bullets.. 20 grain V Maxes.
the rifle is a heavy barrel contour, only reason I have it, the price was right. Savage single shot action. like 7 grains of Blue Dot.

Let a guy who was interested in it, take a shot of two. He loved it... his teenage son was interested in it also. so I let him shoot it twice, as that was the last of the ammo I had with me...His son gets up after his second shot, and says it had more recoil than he thought it would....I started laughing and his dad looked at me and rolled his eyes... The kid has to be bound for Antifa or BLM's book or who's who in the liberal left world., ya know, society's next David Hogg.

cheers my friend!

Still have 3-4# of 4759, it’s my go to for BP duplex loads. 5-6 grains per shot will last many moons. Shutting’ down production was the first step to corporate suicide IMHO.
