Enjoy !! Thanks, Tom

Welcome to our humble little place on the net! Draw yourself a drink and sit a spell......glad to have ya!

Thanks, Tom

Just putting an ear to the ground.....Is Hodgdon getting ready to unveil a new powder geared towards Levergun cartridges? The name I've seen floating around is "LVR".

Sounds appropriate enough.

Just wondering if anyone knows anything else.

Thanks, Tom

308 Winchester. Without question. More options on ammo. Great accuracy. Gentle recoil. Light rifles. It can handle animals up to 500 lbs with the proper ammo and appropriate range.

AND you can get it in a levergun !!!!

my .02¢

Thanks, Tom

I'm not a cowboy at all...never will be. However I've seen TWO! Winchesters with the tang broken like that. Both were from the same sheephearder in Montana, different horses. Both were broken when the horse decided to roll around on the ground to scratch an itch. He carried the guns, sights up in th...

CEMENTHEAD

Good to know. Just as I was thinking.

Thanks Joe.

Thanks, Tom

I've used it with 150gr Speer Hot-Cor FSP , 31.4gr was the load. Not too shabby with accuracy....1.75-2.25" @ 100 yds. Velocity was right around 2250 fps from my Marlin with a 20" barrel. I now shoot 170gr bullets exclusively. If I ever go back to 150's that'll be the load I use. Thanks, Tom

CEMENTHEAD

Joe,
have you tried the Buffalo Bore 220gr JFN ? Just curious............

Thanks, Tom

CEMENTHEAD

You should have no problems with the front sight. There's plenty of vertical adjustment to the Williams.

Thanks, Tom

CEMENTHEAD

Leupold 4x Compact is light and trim. Excellent glass too.

Thanks, Tom

CEMENTHEAD

Old Weaver (steel) K4........plenty of eye relief, clear and rugged. Leupold 4x would be a good one as well.

Thanks, Tom

CEMENTHEAD

I would've liked to see that one....sounds like a beauty. Don't have a clue on value though

.......Kirk or Mike will be along shortly to help.

By the way.....Welcome

Thanks, Tom

CEMENTHEAD

Thank you all for your opinions and observations. I'm still in the looking around phase. However I may keep my 25-06 that I have been shooting as of late. I may even jazz up the performance with 100 grain Barnes TSX bullets @ 3300 fps or so. Maybe a rechamber to 25-06 Ackley Improved (AI)! :twisted:...

CEMENTHEAD

.........definately can't go wrong with a 35 Remington Marlin and a box or two of Remington 200 grain Core-Lokts ! Works alot better than you think!

Thanks, Tom

CEMENTHEAD

m.wun, I think your findings are right on the money. I might add the the Remington 180 grain SJHP .357 bullet to that list to try. From my experience it gets about 14-16" of penetration and expands to about .45". The deer I've seen hit with this bullet (9) seem to drop within 20 FEET of wh...

CEMENTHEAD

That's a beautiful front stuffer! I like how it's nice and subdued......

Thanks, Tom

Good luck with the 92....it sure is pretty.

Look it over real well, it may have been used for a canoe paddle. :lol: Hobie's right. Offer $250.00 and walk away if he won't budge. Looked at one the other day. The barrel was bent to the left of the receiver, if you looked at it from the top. The thing was in about the same condition, he wanted 2...

:D Hey All, Just wondering if any of you have a 257 Weatherby Mag. What are your likes and dislikes with it? What brand is it built on? ( Weatherby, Remington, Winchester, etc, etc) What weight bullets do you shoot? (100?-120?) How's the recoil and blast? As compared to something else.....25-06, 7mm...

CEMENTHEAD

Welcome aboard! THE best forum in my humble opinion..........Enjoy!

Thanks, Tom

CEMENTHEAD

Now that we are staying within the OP's original requirements. I'll rescind my suggestion of the 30-06 and go with the 6.5x55 Swedish.

Great cartridge, easy to load for, low recoil, low muzzle blast, and plenty of options in bullet weight (85-160grains)

Thanks, Tom

CEMENTHEAD

Pardon me....where are my manners?

Welcome to the fire Bob!

Thanks, Tom

CEMENTHEAD

You already reload......sooooo....... Why not firelap the barrel?

Beartooth Bullets has alot of info on this procedure.

Hope this helps. Thanks, Tom

CEMENTHEAD

That's a beauty Mike!!!!

Good luck with it !

CEMENTHEAD

Tycer,
I would dump the Remington 700, especially if you don't use it much. The others all share the same quality....handiness.

Best of luck, Tom

CEMENTHEAD

If you want to spend a little more you can shoot Hornady's new Superformance 95 grain SST load (3150fps) or Federal Premium 85 grain TSX load @ 3200 fps. Both are flat shootin' to be sure. My choice would be the Federal Premium load. My Uncle and cousin both use it and it's AMAZING the amount of dam...

CEMENTHEAD

30-06 definately. 125 grain Ballistic Tips (3200fps)for coyotes and 165 Partitions (2900fps) for deer/goats. 200 grain Partitions for elk/bear @ 2600fps.

Good luck with your project, Tom

Condolences..................we are not supposed to out live our children.......God has called another home.

AWESOME !!! I remember around Scott mountain there were quite a few elk when I used to mountain bike that area. I was stationed at Ft Sill at the time. We had a bunch there as well. Good luck !!

Thanks, Tom

I've experienced some bridging in the powder measure. I've since adjusted by tapping the handle 3x when using Trail Boss. Problem solved.

Thanks, Tom

CEMENTHEAD

Any of the short magnums for me is the kiss of death. Not useful enough for me......I like the standards. 25-06, 270, 30-30, 308Win, 30-06, 35Rem, 35Whelen, 45-70, etc, etc, etc........

Thanks, Tom

The boy on the right....is he holding a Winchester 94 rifle? Looks too long for a carbine. The othe seems to be holding a Mauser of some sort.....dunno.

Cool picture. Thanks, Tom

I prefer my SP101 357 maggie with the 3" barrel, fixed sights. I put up my loads in 357 cases at 38 special velocities. I might one day send it to Hamilton Bowen for one of his "perfected" tune ups ( http://www.bowenclassicarms.com/NEW/images/SP101%20w.%20hi-viz%20sts.jpg ) Thanks, To...
