Naan bread?
If so it's pretty good as a desert also. I cannot remember the name of the seeds they put on it, but combined with mango chutney... pretty good.
Just remembered, black nigella seed.

Thank you Rob L, and RVN Infantry. (12 B myself)
It's really sweet, unfoutunately it may have to go. John Linebaugh has my next project and I may have to re-visit my holster buddies.

I've not worked with the 585 (24ga) However I have done some shooting of the .73 (12ga) with non-standard loadings.
About the most lively thing I've shot was a 2 ounce (880 grain) "maxi ball" at 1500 in a 7 1/2 pound fully rifled Savage 210 with plastic stock and 10 ply rated recoil pad. Calclulated recoil was a bit over 100 lbs and recoil velocity was somewhere around 32 fps.
I've shot some 1043 grain slugs at 1080fps and they were quite manageable.
I would imagine a 750 at 2150 in a well designed stock with a bit of mass will be easier to shoot than the plastic stocked savage. You will have far more bore capacity and less powder than a 50 bmg, so I'd bet you will have far less muzzle pressure. Therfore porting or a break may not be necessary. I personally detest muzzle breaks and porting.

I usuall point folks starting out to the stuff by Lee. They are good folks to deal with and their product isn't going to break you up to start. Since you are already thinking that way, you're ahead of the curve.
I usually suggest the Lee Challenger press kit , one had the hand held auto prime tool, the other doesn't, that is sold thru places like midway, midsouth and graf and son. They run about $100 to $120 for the kit. You'll need to get dies and a manual but all the stuff to get started is in there.
As you progress in your reloading habit, you will develop your tastes as to what you like for powder measures, presses, dies, scales and such. You'll be reloading and then be able to adjust your equipment more to your liking at a later date.
As Bill stated you will need a good manual. I would suggest several manuals. Preferably by the manufacturer of the bullets you intend to shoot. As for a manual that contains "how to reload" Lyman, Lee, Speer, Hornady and nearly all the rest have a dedicated section on how-to.
If you have any questions, you can always ask here. Great folks with good advice.

Here is a 50 Bowen Special. Load data is pretty simple, 8.0 grains of unique and any bullet from 300-400 grains. 8.0 and a 400 grainer runs 800 fps. What's not to like?

Please don't turn this into another argument thread. There is no right or wrong. Pick your poison and spend your money. Write about what yours will and will not do. My personal choice is FAs in both along with 50AEs. My apoligies, I didn't intend to cause an argument. Please forgive me.

The marlin in 32-20 is a dandy gun. However, all the ones I've seen have had a very short throat. Read non-existent. If you want to shoot some LBT type designs they will need a bit of massaging by lengthening the throat.
120 grain LBT style hardcasts will easily run 2000 fps out of a 20 inch barrel.

My preference is I'll take 120,00 tensile steel over 70,000 tensile brass anyday. The case itself is the "gasket".

Dustin is a fine shot. I've seen him shoot and I don't want him shootin at me! AT any distance. I believe he built his own pistol, 475 Linebaugh. 4 3/4" barrel. It was 176 yards on a bear that measured 8.5"

So there are times in your life when you go where angels fear to tread..... Entering into this discussion may be one of those times for me....
Gasixgunner, now that you are public, ( seen the shot on Specialty Pistols ) be prepared to grow a tough hide.
Ethics, as defined by the Hunter Safety Education program is as such.
"Doing the right thing even when no one is looking, even when doing the wrong thing is legal." There are some that will take that and beat you to death with it, stating it is wrong to shoot at animals at that distance. So to define it further, we look back again to the description.
It also states "Know your firearms capabilities and limitations as well as it's effective range." Pretty easy to assess that statement, you are shooting a cartridge capable of that range in a platform that is accurate at that range.
Further; "Know YOUR capabilities and limitations and know YOUR effective range." This is where things become quite subjective. There are folks that cannot hit a flock of circus tents at 925 yards, even with the best of equiptment. Conversely there are folks that can do amazing things, repeatedly, with common equiptement. (Crude example. At a local shooting event, one "gentleman" who is "repeatedly successful African hunter" shooting a custom varmint rifle with 24x Leupold scope was clearly out shot at our friendly shoot. He was flatly defeated by a 14 year old boy with a M44 Mosign nagant with iron sights. )
You have certainly demonstrated that your equiptment was capable and you were up to that shot. Congratulations on an amazing shot, and a good clean kill.
This last year a good friend of mine, who is "older" than I, took his deer at a bit over 400 yards with his pistol. I believe his enjoyment comes from awaiting the "right shot" and then executing it perfectly. I know he practices much at the ranges he expects to take game, building his skill and confidence. He is aware of his capabilities and limitations and knows his effective range.
As for myself, my personal limitations are far less than my friend or that what you have just demonstrated. In my area, when I state what yardage I'm comfortable shooting deer,with an Iron sighted revolver, most folks eyes glaze over in disbelief. It is about 150 yards on my two hind legs. Now if I'm given a solid rest, scope, and an Encore pistol I could confidently double that.
As for the impressionable, There will always be "dumb" impressionable that will never put forth what is needed to become skillful in this or any other shooting dicipline. There is nothing you can do for them. The "ignorant" impressionable need good examples to follow and goals to aim for. That is where we all come in, as shooters we need to educate these who are willing, then allow them to find what their limitations are. My boy is now only 18, he has the potential to shoot all styles well. From Rifle to Pistol, to shotgun, to long range. I shall not impose his limits, as my ego is not bruised to be outshot by my son. Only that I'm happy that is interested and that he looks to apply and improve himself and does so without any tantrums if he falls a bit short.
So, Keep 'em off the ridgline and keep our bullets goin' downrange.
All the best Todd

Congratulations Boge!
Marriage can be the closest thing to a Heaven or a Hell you will ever experience on this earth.
Remember that in a marriage it is a union of Three. You, your spouse, and YHWH, ( Father God) Who is the real "glue" that holds things together.
Also remember that Love desires to benefit others at the expense of self, conversely Lust desires to benefit self at the expense of others. (There is also much more "lust" than the obvious that we think of)
Eph 5:25 Husbands, love your wives, as Messiah also did love the assembly and gave Himself for it, (think of the cost of that one) Eph 5:26 in order to set it apart and cleanse it with the washing of water by the Word, ( reading the Word together everyday is a wonderful, intimate time.) 1 Footnote: 1Rev. 19:8-9. Eph 5:27 in order to present it to Himself a splendid assembly, not having spot or wrinkle or any of this sort, but that it might be set-apart and blameless. Eph 5:28 In this way husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.
Enjoy a wonderful life.
Todd
