Easter Sunday is symbolic and will be celebrated by both the Eastern and Western churches on the same day this year. I pray that nobody takes advantage of this to target people of faith. I’m tempted to go unarmed, but that’s not probably a good idea. I attend the same church that JM Browning did. L...

1886 Japchester in 45-90. There is nothing on this earth that a 405 grain bullet leaving the barrel at 2400 FPS won't kill. Including your shoulder.

Never taken a hog, but I suspect my 1895 in 30-06 would do well.

All you gain with loads over 1500fps in the 45-70 is a flatter trajectory and the abilty for tougher bullets to work properly but it comes at a pretty high price. I've gone from Keith style loads to much more moderate bp velocity loads. My most used for plinking and deer from my leverguns is 22gr o...

Redneck, I have shot one, I’m glad it didn’t have a true crescent butt plate :wink: it would make a nice light brush gun in bear country for sure! I’ve got an 1895 SBL in 45-70, but a light 92 would be easier to carry! Pfft. My Japchester 1886 in 45-90 pushing 405 grain hardcasts at 2400 FPS has so...

Interesting thread, Redneck. Glad you have found a path that works for you.

Glad you figured out the 'seed oil' thing - it doesn't work for everyone, but I do think there is some solid science behind it. The seed oils actually weren't a major short term problem for me.

Limbsaver slip on and some light bruising if I shoot a bunch of them. Definitely a lot of wallop with the lever gun style stock compared to a bolt gun.

What bullet were you using with the 7mm? I used to hunt with a 7mm RM and one shot was what it usually took. I used Nosler Partitions. I switched to a 30-06 and usually one shot is all it takes. I use factory 178 gr Eld-X. I have noticed they work better at 150 yards or more. Can you sell tags to s...

We have an elk problem here where I farm. According to the FWP biologist, somewhere in the 2500+ head type of problem. I grow a lot of hay and the elk like to destroy our haystacks.

No comment on the ammo except to say 300gr 454 is a lot of power. Since the 454 topic is on the table, I have studied the ballistic tables and convinced myself there is no advantage with the 460. The 454 seems to be seriously under appreciated as hand cannons go. It is incredibly powerful in a norm...

There’s something almost magical with a big revolver bullet running around 1350 FPS, they just seem to kill better that what the written word suggests they should.

The fastest I have ever seen an elk drop dead was an accidental (but legal) shot from my 5" 357 mag at 200+ yards. Crumpled like a ton of bricks and never even twitched. 454 Casull with 300 gr XTPs will drop an elk faster than a 7mm Rem mag every time. I have taken several with a 40 S&W. Su...

Looking for another 200fps? My shoulder hurts just thinking about that cartridge. One of the reasons I like that the 450 Alaskan is shorter is that it can use bullets in the 458 Win Mag category.

Welcome to the 1886 45-90 crowd. I bought a new Winchester 1886 45-90 because it provided both the 45-70 and 45-90 and I am very pleased with the performance of both cartridges in the US and Africa.
