Always thought a 356 would be an ideal hunting cartridge in a tube gun but they were scarce by the mid nineties. Passed on a deeply scratched one once and regretted it. As an aside, a have a modest list of "gotta haves" and the 356Win is solidly on that list. JES will rebore a Marlin 30-3...

Wonder what the results would be if all were using the same bullet, ie. 30/30 150gr FN, and all arrived at the game animal at the same velocity for said cartridges. Likely the animal would be just as dead. can't argue with that, but don't you think it would be more dead if shot with a Buckhammer ? ...

I'm at the range today and see an empty case on the ground. I think to myself "A .375 Win? That's unusual to find." I pick it up and notice the diameter is too small. "a .350 Legend? I'll keep it for my cartridge collection/accumulation. No wait, it's rimmed!" I can't read what ...

I tend to disagree -- all of my .32s (Long or H&R Mag) are superbly accurate!

You should get "minute of tennis ball" or even better at 10 paces.

I believe Ray was alluding to HIS limitations not the GUNS.

. Once you tie them you can visualize the end goal and they become second nature. https://youtu.be/FmpSOLnJ-Yc But I agree these three are the basic ones I use most.

yooper2,
I see in another thread that you shoot the 215gr Lyman 358627 bullet in your .357 Maximum.
Do you happen to have a Lyman handbook that lists data for that bullet loaded in a .357 MAGNUM?
Thanks.

Ain't no such thing as "too many" Contender barrels. All the 10" ones I've seen look pretty much the same. Here's a pic of my old sillywet 30 Herrett load 30Herrett_cast.jpg Cast of straight linotype & water dropped it was plenty accurate. But you could depend on it to leave a pig...
