Picked it up Saturday at the Hamilton match. Just finished doing adjustments and adding sights. 33-40 caliber.

I am crying.  I struck out in an Oregon. Maybe get have to get some treatment for withdrawal symptoms. Nice rifle Wes.

Good looking rifle!  Congrats.
Bob

Wow.  You sure pick up some beautiful rifles!

when you have an attack that ends up with a rifle like you got there, it isn't suffering. good word, Jose'. 

Mr. Turner,

That is a very nice-looking 1885. Great find. I trust you shot well and that everyone had a good time.

Cheers

I just got an email signed by all of your Ballard rifles complaining about your new Winchester. They threatened to never shoot well again if you keep that Dick Binger high wall.  Don’t worry though my high walls have agreed to adopt it immediately.

See I told you. Better get rid of the Winchester.

Brandy, my dizzy blonde had hip surgery earlier this year.  Went to visit her in the hospital the day of her surgery. She was already home walking around. She told me a robot did the surgery.

My room is reserved also.

Last time I went in for a surgery I told them I don't want any details. Told them to just make sure they do the correct side. If they told me the details I wouldn't want the surgery done. Had three hernia ops. They put a screen door in the third time. Been good ever since. 

So, they have me laying naked on my back on the table and it's cold in the operating room. A nurse asks me which side they are doing and I put my finger there. She makes an X with a sharpie. Perfect!

Man, I thought I had ugly legs.

Binger banger now has a palm rest. 

And I marked a couple cases so they're easier to find. Chamber is a straight taper version. Breech seating only?
 
Now a match to shoot it in. Or maybe I should practice.

It's a shooter. 200 yards iron sights, no windflags. Out early setting up in the dark to catch calm winds. 

Using a scope, put three in the 25 ring and two in the 24 ring. Not a speck of lead in the bore.

8 ball palm rest.

Yes it is. Had a few issues and no sights but it's ready to go now. 

Robb and Angi told me there were 600 rifles in Clarks collection. I got this one and a Ballard #6. Both very nice. Both very accurate.
Looking forward to seeing your rifles should you decide to show them.

First OH target with Dick Bingers rifle. The rifle fits me well. Pay no attention to the shot's on the left. Strays. 
Caliber is 33-40. Load was 14.5 gr 4227 under a Ron Long 240 gr spitzer. Bullets hit the target a bit tipped. Might try 15 gr powder. Seems a little anemic with 14.5.

What kind of rifle? 33-357MAX. Odd one. First one I've heard of. 

My guess would be 12 gr H108/AA #9. Breech seated in a strong rifle.

If a Ballard and I owned it, would chamber to 33-40.

I forgot Frank. Yes I remember when you tried the Pope bullets at Tommy's.

But still, 33-357 MAX is a rare one, I think... 

Mine is a Miller Action. One of Clark Ehlers Collection. Was fortunate to get 100 cases with it and I also bought a couple of Clark's 33 cal molds in the 240-250gr range. Hopefully will be a good shooter. There was a note in the case box referencing AA#9. The rifle was set up for benchrest.

Sorry to Westerner for side tracking his HW tread. Looks like my 33-357Max case is real simple to make. I just ran a virgin 357 Max into a 223 die part way and it chambers in my rifle, no trimming required. Frank, Thanks for the load info. I have some Rem 7 1/2 and #9 so I have a good start point. If my rifle shoots anywhere close to what yours will I will be grinning from ear to ear. A few of the cases that came with the rifle were loaded with powder with floral foam on top. I weighed a couple charges, 14.3gr of what appears to be #9. There was also another fine powder in a few cases that was blacker in color and looked much like the current Enforcer powder.

Latest Binger group. Unable to get Unique so tried TiteGroup which burns even faster than Unique. 240 gr Ron Long bullet. Started at 5 gr and increased the powder charge until groups tightened up. No windflags but was able to see mirage direction in the scope. I have no idea why four shots went high right. Barrel twist is right hand.
Testing from the bench is a necessary evil that I must endure.   
This was my first time using TiteGroup powder. Good so far.

9.8 grains per shot verses 14.5. TiteGroup 42.00 a pound.
I squeak when I walk... Hodgdon TiteWad? Hmmm

This is my second .33. I know how to get a good load. What works in Jerry's 33 may not work in mine. 

Doubt I will ever shoot the rifle in a BR match but do want it to be as accurate as I can get it without breaking the bank.

Frank, it was cheap and it said TiteGroup. What else could I ask for?
