- On this episode, Seth is joined by engineering technicians, Mike “Whitey” Jensen and Nick Earixson. The topic at hand is revolvers. Specifically, the history of revolvers, hunting uses, bullet designs for wheel guns, and lastly, what models and loads the guys use for their hunting adventures. We hope you enjoy the show.
Been hunting with 44mag and 45LC in Blackhawks for over 30 years, XTP's are the stuff of legend.
An elegant weapon for a more civilized age
Western fan?
Great episode! I was hoping for more about the 480 Ruger though. That cartridge makes a ton of sense to me and I wish it were more popular.
Thank you thank you for the XTP. Everything I’ve harvested in the field has been with that bullet. VERY effective
I love the 41 mag 2 revolvers and 1 lever action
#100!!! Oh yeah baby!!! Thank you guys for the faithfulness of the podcast!!!
love the handgun stuff across the board.
Absolutely, hey I just wish they'd release a xtp for the 357 in least 180gr or better yet 200 or 220grn factory loaded, no skimping on the powder either we grown here lets have it Hornady!
I have lots of revolvers but I like to shoot my grandfathers Smith & Wesson Hand Ejector in 44 Special. He carried it while in LE in the 1930’s in SW Oklahoma. I have his original holster and billy club but both are showing their age. The gun is smooth shooting.
Nice job guys. I am a big fan of the XTP bullets. Cool to hear the story of how it came to be.
Keep up the good work.
This is the episode I have been waiting for.......! Thanks men.
I read that the .41 mag was the brainchild of Keith as he thought the .357 mag wasn't enough, and the 44 mag too much. Personally, I think he was right.
No he just used the 41 cause he kept blowing up 45 long colts
Thank you for the 240 XTP MAG bullet! I've taken 2 Michigan whitetails with my Ruger SRH 454 Casull. ❤
I have handloads using 200 and 300 grain XTPs in 44 Magnum (both with W296/H110) that shoot 2" groups at 100 yards from a 7.5" Super Redhawk with a 2-7x32mm scope mounted. The 200 is great for whitetails and pronghorn, while the 300 is my go-to for anything larger. While I'd love to use 357 Magnum, it is not legal from a handgun here in Wyoming. 357 Maximum is the smallest allowed, but since there are so few of those around, the 41 Mag is the "realistic" minimum. I also use the 300 gr. 45 XTP bullet in my Ruger-level Colt and 454 Casull loads.
As viewed by history the 41 mag and the 357 sig are in the same categories of great ideas that didn't catch on, and honestly I've shot and own both, they shoot better than their big brother but not as good as their little sister. IMHO
CNC machined steel projectiles, .003 to .004 inches under sized, electro-plated with copper. Easy to mass produce and from cheap materials. With a .003 to .004 thick copper coating shouldn't harm gun barrels, but would be completely lead free, and being lighter: offer softer recoil. You should also be able to match existing flight characteristics by using slower burning powders to alter the chamber pressure and thereby achieve muzzle velocities which would allow for existing iron sights fire the rounds accurately without adjustment. The reduction in weight of the projectile should also reduce unwanted penetration due to a reduction in inertia/momentum. Have a nice day.
Got the Raging hunter in 454 5.12" for western back up. Shoots like bottled lighting, but makes shooting the 9mm feel like child's play.😁
Enjoyed the episode. Great guys there. Has inspired me to go pull my first hunting handgun out of the safe and maybe hunt a doe with it. A Super Redhawk in 44 MAG. Load 240 XTP's with 21.0 gr of 2400. It just works so well. That Nick has a good look working there, kinda a Matthew Quigley thing.
congratz on 100
Great Podcast Guys 💯💥💥💥💥💥💥💥
Glad you enjoyed it
Love my 357
for the Money - Taurus Raging Hunter 6" or 8"
These podcasts are so good that I bought a Hornady hat:) Really tho, fantastic stuff!
Awesome! Thank you!
I’d like to hear whitey talk in more detail about handgun hunting antelope. I’m from the East coast and my 44 is my main gun for whitetail but I dream of heading out west for antelope sometime and would love to do it with my 44
It's funny that I get to see this. I live in Pennsylvania. I'm watching it on Sunday, November 12th or bear season starts on November 18th and our box season starts to falling Saturday after of Thanksgiving and I am taking my 460 Smith& Wesson 10 and 1/2-in barrel which I'm shooting my reloads with three hundred grain XTP mags.... I'd actually called you guys Hornady a few weeks ago to make sure that that 300 XTP meg was good enough for the black bears in Pennsylvania, which can exceed over 500 lb. The norm is 200 lb in Pennsylvania and without hesitation your representative had said absolutely will kill that bear. So I'm looking forward to it next week with my 460 pistol and my son who's only 22 years old. I am 58 years old, my son who's 22 years old plans on taking his Smith& Wesson 629 with a 6 inch barrel which he's using a different mullet which is underwood 305 grain hard cast lead!!! Thank you so much for this great video at this most opportune time! Good luck to everyone who is hunting this year for whatever they're hunting for whatever they're using for whatever bullet they're using whatever rifle pistol shotgun. I hope everyone has a great year and you all come back for the next year!!!
So I guess to add to the comment that I just made the 300 grain XT p. Mag. I am shooting at 1875 feet per second. Not telling what the load is and I'm getting it. 2 inch group at 100 yd off of bench with a Leopold Delta point pro.
I know some swat guys, when carrying a shield used Smith 327 variants because they couldn't clear malfunctions with one hand.
Love 41 mag and 475 Linebaugh in my BFR. I did have a muzzle brake made for it though. Shoots sweet one handed with leupold 2x on top. 275gr Barnes XPB at 1800fps good for anything.😊
Hornady XTPs work well but I prefer not having lead fragments ruining even more meat.
I just stop by one of the larger gun stores in California and their ammo shelves were almost empty 🤔
I carry a ruger sp101 357mag
Long live the revolver !!
240 and 300 gr. XTP magnums are almost all I use in my .45 Colt/.45 ACP Ruger Blackhawk, .45 Colt Charter arms Bulldog, .45 Colt Henry Lever-X and my .45 Colt H&R Buffalo Carbine. I use a few regular XTP's for plinkers. I do load some of the .357 sizes also in my .38 special, .357 Magnum, .357 Maximum pistols and rifles. I've taken a 6 point whitetail as my biggest, but my blackhawk has been finisher on a few also. Are you guys ever going to offer that Monoflex Hunter bullet as a component? I'd love trying some loads with it. ;)
So now you're bringing up the 375 I have the the 375 Ruger number and I shoot the Hornady 300 grain DGX... WHICH I just shot my first deer with it this year. I don't remember when I bought that gun probably about 10 years ago and that gun is not available in that caliber now but my boys and I call that my elephant gun!!!
I just looked at the Hornady website and you don't even have a single .475 bullet listed! Did Whitey squirrel away a bunch before you guys shut down the production?
What do y'all sagest for the bfr 45-70
Any other 357 mag hunters here
I haven't hunted with mine but I'm hoping to soon...I'm working up a hunting load with hardcast bullets
@@magnum_0710Sounds great, I have some hand loaded 158 gr XTP’s at 1500 fps. Definitely hard hitting
woot woot
A 45 Colt can be loaded hotter than a 44 magnum in a Ruger Blackhawk per reloading manuals!
I’d like to have seen some weapon systems…and corresponding cartridges
🙂👍

Can Whitey make me a cylinder for my S&W 629 that’s 0.050” larger diameter and about 0.005”-0.010” longer than factory? 😁
I have always loved revolvers I bought my first in1980 and no turning back I now have over 300 and early on killed many deer hogs rabbits and a flying turkey my age has reduced my abilities now but not the love
🇦🇺😎👍🏁HORNADY🏁
You forgot the .41 magnum which in my opinion and several others the best magnum.
Also as an owner/operator of a 454 casull, not fun, I've owned it for 15 years and maybe shot it 10 times. Not fun to shoot, at all. lol.
I'm sorry, but your lack of knowledge is appalling ! The 44 Special did NOT follow the .357 Smith & Wesson Magnum in the Model 27! The .44 Special was first chambered in the LARGE first ame .44 Hand Ejector 1st Model New Century in 1908! Please don't be spouting incorrect information !!!
