well my theory is the projectiles are at fault. the leverlution with testimony of several men who know their stuff was an abysmal failure. it didn't penetrate when it hit bone or hard muscle. this is indisputable as the proof was visible to all. the second incident, was the hollow point. this bullet...

i load round nose bullets for tubular magazines they don't make a flat nose 200 grainer for a .35 remington. you can cast your own with a flat tip, but if it wears a jacket you won't find one. i have used round nose in several other bullet as do most factory ammunition makers for use in a leveraction.

you got it i am going back to black powder with the cartridge and loading a lead slug as close to original design. just to let readers know my intentions.

also the gun is a 22 inch h&r. i know it isn't top shelf, but i got the gun and will have great fun with it.

i have a friend who shot a deer three times with a .45-70 stuffed with leverlution. the range was about 125-150 yards. the first shot was a lung shot, the second was a hip shot and the last shot was a texas heart shot as the deer was leaving. the only shot that penetrated was the last as it hit the ...

i have my personal guns and then i have loaner guns. if you really need to borrow a gun then you will not be picky. i have a loaner deer rifle, loaner .22 lr, and a loaner shotgun...all of which if hurt, won't hurt so bad. i don't loan out my best guns except only to other gun nuts that i know will ...

It's as much hunting as the guys who shoot 'em 30 yards away under their feeder. you beat me to it. how is it hunting when you build a shooting house and sit in it all day hoping to ambush a deer that comes feeding in a food plot or under a corn feeder. hunting is learning and excelling at harvesti...

well i see is as hunting. not my particular cup of tea as i don't have the skill to shoot reliably past 400 yds. i have read those that do it and it is amazing the work they put into it. there is a website http://www.longrangehunting.com/index.php that hosts those that can and so shoot those distanc...

Hi Scott, Just posted this a few days ago here. http://www.levergunscommunity.com/viewtopic.php?t=1300 Great Story! i am sorry cc. i am at my moms who has high speed. i haven't slept in 48 hours trying to catch up on all the videos. at home if i see a youtube attachment i have to skip it. i miss ou...

i know plenty of guys that are deer deer deer stupid. all they think about is deer. they make hunting unrealistically difficult for the rest of us. i love deer hunting, but i also love to hunt squirrel, rabbit, coon, turkey, coyotes and fox, bocats, dove, duck, and what ever else i dream up to hunt....

my favorite shot on a coyote is the front of the shoulder. here are some pics that show the heart and skeleton. http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r203/sorrycur/anatomy_coyote_side_I.jpg http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r203/sorrycur/coyoteskel.gif as you can see the heart is further forward than ...

we are only talking about fifty dollars. it isn't worth calling into question someone's integrity when you are unsure about the details. i would just count it as a loss on my part since i wasn't sure. one caveat, i would not want to call my wife's character into question. if he did give you $100 and...
