I've got a 12. It's controllable with trap load equivalent but not for much beyond that, at least for me. I like the 2" shells from warwolf. Velocity pretty much the same as serious social loads but just a lighter payload. For instance, 6 00buck instead of 9. The round ball load packs a thump a...

FTX makes a good 357-140 and a 200 or 225 for the 44 that would work well at the speeds you want BUT you will have to load them; no ammo available. Unaware of any FTX 44sp at all. The 38sp is only a 110 gr that would certainly be supersonic from 16". Plus it's a different FTX that isn't really ...

I like that little mini Schofield but WOW $680.

Cimarron has that smaller action and birdshead grip chambered in 32-20/32H&R. Not 327 but not bad if you do like that smaller action.

Leverluver

I've had a matched set (one in 44sp and one 45C) for near 30 years. They're some of my most favorite hand guns. Mine are 4 5/8 and checkered with a hump at top of grip. The only downside I can think of is all the recoil is taken at the point in the palm that contacts the rear point of the rounded gr...

Hay will work for elk but will be of no help for deer and antelope. They'll eat it but can't digest it.

Jim I've enjoyed the resurrection of the popgun. I know I have at least one box of new casings in my stash, maybe two. They were for a project I dropped almost 40 years ago. Casings depend on how much hurry you're in. I go in for a shoulder replacement tomorrow so it could be two weeks or more befor...

Glad I'm not the first but I agree with earlmck. I have most everything equipped with peep sights but now converting back. And for the same reasons as earlmck mentioned. The peeps just aren't working like the used to. My best ladder is a Red River Winchester long staff from Buffalo Arms. But don't b...

I have a takedown Alaskan. Out of the box, the action was smooth, the trigger was light and crisp, and the metal work was flawless. The action literally needs nothing done to it. The takedown is like a bank vault door and you have to have it in a good light to even see the junction between the actio...

I have one and really like it. It has the laser grip on it which I'm glad for because like most short barrel pistols, the front sight is so close to the rear sight that it leaves little light on either side. I like sufficient light to keep the front sight centered. With a weight of less than a pound...

Leverluver

Wow, considering the rest of the gun, the barrel looks to be in amazingly good shape.

I was hoping he'd be convicted and the day before he had check in at the prison he flew out of the country to a carribean island with no extradition. He threatens to leave the country every other election cycle anyway so it works for everyone :mrgreen: I'd sure take his permanent absence from the co...

I doubt it will ever fill to total perfection unless using one of the (perfect filling) alloys such as linotype.

Brothers by another mother. My first (over 50 yrs ago) rifle was a 64. One of the post 64 64s. I think they only made them for two years. Had a lot of fun with it learning reloading from hunting loads to high speed varmint loads and also cast. Then my neighbor had a 1936 deluxe 71 for sale. The only...

Griff I need to get out more with my 40- 2 5/8. too. Smokeless, I've had luck with 4198 with 330GC but taking look at 5744 as well. We're you not satisfied with 5744? Also like to try BP paper patch but my cases (reformed 45-2.6) come out a little short for PP. Probably have to get a case stretcher ...

Miroku (forgot whether Browning or faux Winchester) made a copy of that shorty single shot. Wish I had bought one when they were cheap. No real purpose but that never stopped me before.

Leverluver

I recall some utube vids of spear hunting but it was using a heavy spear and dropping straight down from a tree. Quite lethal actually. Several vids on wild boars and a few on bears. Don't think I would try to throw the thing as it was the weight that did the killing.

Leverluver

I have a Taylor's 92 Alaskan take down and it indeed a 20" twist. It will take heavier bullets. The issue (as stock anyway) is the OAL of cartridge. Most heavy pistol loads take advantage of longer cylinders than SAAMI OAL specs. A good gun mechanic may be able to lengthen things but there is a...

Leverluver

Got the same issue (if you consider it one) with a 97 in 44spec. A +.00 -.0002" pin gauge will "barely" go through a chamber throat IF the chamber is spotless clean, which it obviously isn't after one shot. So it a .428 gun and that's it. Either that or, as you figured out, seat diffe...

My 590 shorty is a little bear with full boat ammo. I like the War Wolf 1 7/8 mini. I know the popular stuff is the 1 3/4 mini but a lot of guns won't feed them without a mini block to shorten the action. I've had no issues with the 1 7/8 shells. Also IMO, a lot of the minis went way too wimpy (Agui...

Guess I just lucked out that mine is tight and the slot lines up perfectly at the same time. I'll enjoy it that way as long as I can and deal with the inevitable looseness when it comes. I've only had five boxes of full house Magnum through it so barely broke in.

Leverluver

Mine locks up tighter than a bank vault. And yes, on chiappa, the the latch arm has a lobe on it that fits in a lengthwise slot cut into bottom of barrel. Mine must be straight up and down dead nuts in allighnment for the latch to close and the lobe to go into the slot.

Leverluver

WOW, glad I ordered a ridiculous supply 25 years ago. That's enough to make me sell the rifles.

Leverluver

A friend gave me some Buffalo Bore (I think 335 GR). No it would not work through the action. Was it close enough to have done so...maybe. I did not want to modify the rifle to get it to work.

Leverluver

Do those things have a specific name other than just pre model 10? I have one that belonged to my uncle that got killed on Iwo. Anyway, when I look for parts and Smith's to work on it, might be nice to have specific name.

I didn't catch the interview but Banfield just had segment on it. What surprised me is that the gal that was hired to handle the guns is Thell Reeds daughter. If you don't have grey hair you probably don't remember who he is. Too bad they didn't hire Thell instead. And being Thells daughter, she sho...

I agree with any carry also but sometimes you have to be smarter than the goons you find yourself in the midst of.

I'm with you. Confused the heck out of me too but that's what they said. I tried an order on line and it wouldn't go so I called and that is what I was told. In fact the website still says they have it in stock.

Leverluver

I called and they said it was a glitch that sent out the notifications. They were working on their computer and it sent out false data. They don't have powder yet but should soon so get on their list.

Leverluver

Griff has you on track for the calculations and I also agree with how useful they will be. A bunch of it is how high your sight is above the bore axis, the higher it is the further off any mathmatical prediction will be. Now for practical, I own that exact same rifle. I love the rifle but In that Ca...

In reference to the failures where the barrel screws into the action...I took my repo apart (not certain how original the specs are between the two) to send off for a color case job. While it was down I also intended to ream the 45-60 chamber out to 45-75. When I saw how little metal thickness there...

Scroll down. There are dozens of them. Some are specifically for the sub 2000. Some are repurposed. Some can be made/modified cheap (and not threatening in appearance) by yourself. Lots of options.

With the price of copper running over $4.70 per pound, I wonder how far away we are from 3D printers making one time use cases.

"At. 44 magnum pressures....A 300 grain doesn't leave much room for powder in a Special case." With the special having a slightly (only .005") longer SAAMI OAL, I do not see why the 44Sp should run out of powder space any sooner than the magnum assuming the same powder, pressures and ...

God I sure hope they build them better than they were back in the day! Having owned a BSA 441 Victor, and had the pain of riding it for long hours, I sincerely hope they improve the suspension! I think my old 441 had maybe 2.5"-3" of travel, and any road that wasn't extremely smooth cause...

Where is the range you go to? I have a friend in Lakewood that complains there is nowhere to go. When I still lived there I belonged to the Coors gun club; the old one north of Golden but not only the club but even the memory of it are long gone.

With all the trees still fully leaved, it sure is going to bust up a lot of trees. We'll be about 8 hours ahead of you Steve. Keep your fingers crossed that we both have any trees left.
