I got told once not to use the blazer ammo so I dont. I couldn't afford to shoot factory ammo for target practice at the price they charge on this side of the big puddle. I use a handload of 125gr tc and 6.2gr unique. Different rifles like different things, some will do 38 special without any hiccup...

Your system must be a bit different to ours. Over here the poor dont pay tax (their all on welfare while employers cant find workers) The rich dont pay tax (they know all the tax dodges, loopholes, and business deductions) The average worker in the middle cops the lot ( pays all the taxes and cant c...

Ive said it before and I'll keep saying it.

Theres a war coming for the domination of the world and the first shots have already been fired.

If the free people of the world want to stay that way they better start polishing their shields and sharpening their spears.

I grew up on dairy farms and as a kid there aint nothing like the feeling of satisfaction you get when you boot a steaming pie and make it explode all over the paddock.

I shoot regularly at 100 with open sights and with the aid of a bench can do 2.5" with my handloads and I'm sure a better handload would yield a better result from my 1894 cb.
With the right load and a scope I'm sure I could possibly get close to MOA.

The 44 should be a whole lot cheaper to shoot, and if you've become a recoil wimp in your old age like I have you'd load them both down to 357 levels anyway, so I'd vote 357 :lol: :lol: I shot both the 44 and 45-70 some years ago and I did notice that while the 45-70 recoils backwards the 44 recoile...

Every one keeps saying "big hole in big hole out" Thats great as long as you don't wanna eat the rabbit or other small furry or feathered critter. I love my Three Five Seven and "small hole in small hole out" seems good to me, whether its a rabbit or a buffalo a bullet under the ...

I've got my 22 rifle and revolver
My 357 rifle should do most jobs, although I really need to get out and find a place to hunt.
If I need a battle rifle or combat handgun I guess I'll just have to shoot some invading *** with the 357 and take theirs

Looks good to me. I really envy you blokes that can take quality, artistic pics of your guns.

I don't know where the words came from but if you want a good example of them ALL in use check out the series "Deadwood". I dont think theres a single 4 letter word missing. I makes me wonder what people really talked like in the 1800s.

I guess you could ask two questions to decide whether it should or shouldn't be allowed. 1/ is it humane 2/ is it ethical If you can answer yes to both questions, whats wrong with it? I guess the old steel jaw traps would not really rate as humane. I used to use them for rabbits when I was young and...

My lee manual lists a maximum load of reloder15 at 2330fps for the 170 gn , so it would depend on whether your rifle can handle a higher pressure SAFELY. I you wanted to try you would have to work your way up very carefully and watch for any pressure signs. Personally I wouldn't do it, I'd get a big...

There really isnt anything I can say to this one

No hog hunting experience but just ran your 200gr @ 1230fps load through my energy calculator and came up with 672 ft lb. My 357 with a 158gr @ 1700fps will produce 1012 ft lb. Figures like that sure make the 44-40 look anaemic, but of course it is going to put a 30% bigger hole in the pig and that ...

I use a westcastings 125gr tc and 6.2gr of unique sparked by a sp primer and get 2.5 inch groups at 100 with open sights. I've been told to expect velocity to be around 1100 fps but haven't checked it. I find this to be a really pleasant load to shoot and even the kids and girls at the club enjoy sh...

I share the range with a guy who loads his 45 ammo that way.

At least we all think thats how he's doing it.

Make them like the old ones and in the same calibres as the old ones and I'll take three, 25-35, 30-30, and 38-55.
On the other hand if they make modern garbage with plastic barrel bands and other cheap shortcuts, I won't buy any.

Donkeys are not like horses. A horse you catch and train, simple as that. A donkey you need to make freinds with, treat it like a dog, if it loves you it will do anything to please you, (dont know if they will go as far as the masons goat :shock: ). Feeding a donkey is a bit like feeding a camel, th...

A couple of the blokes at the levergun club where I shoot have them and they can shoot the x out at 100 if they try. One junior at the club has no trouble plinking the steel ram at 200 with his dads with peep sights. I've shot them a few times and they are a pleasure to shoot and if I decide to get ...

I've heard of this one before, I dont recall the exact details but I think it may have been a lite, ie 125gr bullet, fired at low velocity, possibly a unique powder load. From what I remember the ring was burnt into the chamber with as little as 100 rounds. This risk coupled with the crud buildup in...

Stupid question I know but I just can't help myself,

Whats the name of that thing under the gun thats used to open the action?

I couldn't see them bringing out the 73 or the 92 because they would have to compete with uberti and rossi for market share.
The 94 in its original 3 chamberings of 25-35, 30-30, and 38-55 would be a niche that they would profit from and I'm sure they would then have our undivided attention.

gundownunder

Joe is right about the 45, they are almost as nice to shoot as the 357 and they punch a MUCH bigger hole in things. A few of the guys at my gun club have them and they love them, and I've shot a few and I love them too. I think you might find that if you download a 30-30 to the point where recoil ma...

Why wouldn't you? A 200gr lump of lead at about 1200 fps is going to turn pig into pork today just as it did back in 1873. You will probably end up with a 44 cal hole in one side and a slightly bigger hole out the other side and that leaves a lot of space for blood to pour out of. If you hand load a...

The .22 gets cleaned when it plays up or when hell freezes over (which ever comes first). The 357 probably every 100-150 rounds or when I'm not being a lazy bugger.
