33 WCF options
Hi, I've recently become interested in the 33 wcf cartridge. It seems to have fallen by the wayside a long time ago, but looking at it's ballistics I believe it is still quite adequate. There are cast bullet makers still making bullets for it, but there doesn't seem to be much in the way of rifles c...

Re: Winchester 71
I forgot about the Lymans. The old Winchester 98a peeps I've found are pretty pricey.

Winchester 71
I just got an original Winchester 71 and I'm wanting to put a peep sight on it. What sights would you recommend? I'm also curious if the original Winchesters and the various reissues used the same screw patterns on their receivers.

Re: wanting thoughts on Winchester 1886 rifles
If the 33 wcf isn't desired, I could help it find a new home.

Re: Browning vs new Winchester 71
original 1948 Winchester 71!!!!!! SWEET! CONGRATS..... Lets us know when the moose BBQ is! :wink: I own a Winchester 71 one made in early 50's. It is beautiful, and I agree with others that it might be the best lever action ever built. I used to hear people say bullets were hard to find, but reload...

Re: 348winchester, Jamison brass, worth the big$
I'd say that's a high price to pay for brass, but it's hard to find stock for me. So you may be able to get cheaper brass from Winchester but who knows when it will be back on shelves. I'm also in the market for 348 components. What about this? http://www.armesetplus.com/en/reloading/brass/wincheste...

Re: Making 33 Winchester Brass
I always wondered why the .33 never wasn't more popular. Me, too. I'be always been enamoured with .338 caliber. It only puts out about a pound more recoil than 35 Remington, but should have better sd and bc. I do like the 348, too. But it's a little more power than I'd really need and more recoil. ...

Re: Browning vs new Winchester 71
Get the Brning what you save is the rebounding hammer and safety, yes the the throat is a might short its fine for jacketed bullets for cast you can just set them back abit and use a lee FCD or I run the nose in a 338-340 sizer to the crimp slot. For hunting I have used Hdy 200 gr FP and Beartooth ...

Browning vs new Winchester 71
Hi, I am in the market for a 71. I'm deciding on an old Browning or a new Winchester. I've read that the browning dimensions and threads are different from the originals. Also their throats are shorter. Does anyone know if the new Winchesters are patterned off those miroku brownings or the original ...
