Anything wrong with the 170 gr rn nosler partition ??

absolutely nothing wrong with them, but more expensive than necessary.

If a handgun is a problem, then a 94 trapper in 30-30 would work.

buckeyeshooter

. Reaming the throat may turn out to be an exercise in frustration if/when the loaded OAL cartridge length is too long to cycle/feed through the action. This issue is common in certain models of leverguns. Before throating, I would respectfully suggest assembling the boolit of your choice into an e...

you can also travel a little further south at stop at fin, fur and feather..... also very nice and a great reloading department.

S&W screwed the pooch when they started with the Hillary hole in the frames...an answer to a question that was never asked ( except by lawyers) I personally won't own one. I only own 3, a retro 21, 22 and 3 inch 29 nickel. But I absolutely hate the trigger lock. I will eventually buy these, but the...

This................."The other thing about the BHA Model 89 is that being designed specifically around the 500 S&W cartridge, it seems very unlikely to suffer the problems one can get when you re-do a rifle in a bigger cartridge"....... I agree totally, If I was a lot younger I would have ordered ...

OK! How about a Turnbull Restoration in 50 Alaskan or 50-110, which is .510 diameter instead of .500 diameter and can push the same weight bullet at least 200 fps faster. You can also probably buy it for less money too. Here is a Turnbull Browning 71 in 50 Alaskan. https://www.turnbullrestoration.co...

Very hard to convince me the Colt 1911 isn't still the best of the 3 or 4. I carry a colt .45. I hope it works well for the millitary.

buckeyeshooter

I like 4 5/8 the best. I have a set in 5 1/2 incher too .

buckeyeshooter

I have a Turnbull manufactured 1886 in 50-110. It has the case finish, 32 inch barrel and shotgun butt. I also have a marlin cowboy 1895 rebarrelled to 50 Alaskan by Turnbull. It has a 26 inch octogon barrel and I also had a decelerator pad added. I shoot the 535 grain Woodleigh. I run it at 1900 fp...

buckeyeshooter

nice shooter, I have 3 left... 6 inch nickel, 6.5 inch nickel and 3 inch nickel.

buckeyeshooter

ugly!

buckeyeshooter

I would buy a new one, in the alaskan version with 26 inch bbl.

buckeyeshooter

I love 44-40 lever actions, I have a Turnbull 92 and Uberti 66. I really crave a marlin 94!!!

buckeyeshooter

Your competitive shooter who use 'race guns' usually have several. A match gun and a back up. Sometimes a 3rd practice gun. It is not uncommon to have links bend, rockers break or other usage related problems. I shoot a factory uberti 66 and a marlin 94 that I changed the springs in, added a happy t...

So...WTHeck is wrong with an extra hour of light at the end of the day to work outside, hunt, fish, etc.....All y'all??
I'd leave it at DSL all year.

I am with you.

I bought a JM Marlin XLR 410 when they were introduced. It was incredibly heavy, maybe part of it was the stainless/laminate version? I patterned it with 7 1/2, 8 and 9 shot in several manufacturers product. I used a life size squirrel paper target. I found that with any shot size and any manufactur...

buckeyeshooter

you can keep it! I'll take a 336 in 35 Remington or a 94 in 356 Winchester.

Honest to G_d. Tears to my eyes.

To think that such men live...

thank goodness they are on our side!

buckeyeshooter

a 3 inch nickel plated smith and wesson 29 in 44 magnum with 180 grain Federal Ammo .... concealed. If I am open carrying in the outdoors... a 6.5 inch 500 SW with 275 grain Barnes XTP bullets at 2000fps.

buckeyeshooter

Pretty hard to beat a Winchester 94 (pre 64) or a waffletop marlin. Caliber... 30-30 of course.

buckeyeshooter

great voice and interesting songs.

buckeyeshooter

I bought a norinco coach gun with hammers. I use it for CAS and sometimes as a field gun. I looked at the CZ, but I did not like the weight. Felt more like 9 pounds than 7. My norinco goes about 6.5 pounds.

buckeyeshooter

That is old school right there, good job!

buckeyeshooter

Marlin cowboy rebarreled to 50 alaskan and a winchester 95 carbine in 30-06.

buckeyeshooter

I use the standard 230 grain bullet... lead rn, jacketed rn or xtp at 850fps. If I need more gun, I have a 3 inch SW 44 mag.

buckeyeshooter

very nice! now take it for some exercise!

buckeyeshooter

wonderful! great gun, great round.

buckeyeshooter

No 327 but I have 27's in 3.5,5, 6 and 6.5 inch barrel lengths. Shoot great!

buckeyeshooter

If you want a marlin in 50 caliber, the 50 alaskan will work as long as you handload it sanely.
500 sw .500 diameter
.510 ak .510 diameter .348 winchester opened up to .510

I shoot 535 grain woodleighs or 500 grain cast in mine. Rolls bears like groundhogs!

buckeyeshooter

no question, 44-40

buckeyeshooter

I’ve had several of both and liked them both . However my application with a 300 Win Mag or the 300 Weatherby was with 150’s or 165’s , I liked 165’s the best in both 300’s . My application with the 338 usually started at 200 grains up to 225 grains all being polymer tipped bullets with the excepti...

buckeyeshooter

Another vote for unique.

buckeyeshooter

I would drop the BLR from the list, it's not a traditionally engineered lever action and add the Winchester 1895 instead, which was an engineering marvel when introduced,

buckeyeshooter

Yea, but he is not talking changing to a 45/70. He has a 450 alaskan that is based on a 348 case not the 45/70 case that has a smaller rim and a different body diameter. My best advice would be to have a professional gunsmith who does these conversions troubleshoot it. It is possible to fix it yours...

buckeyeshooter

Assuming the loads are heavy enough to cyclevthe action, it ought to work great. It is recoil operated instead of gas operatedcso, my thinking more dependable than gas operated designs because no port to foul.

buckeyeshooter

No, not crazy but a way to practically defeat your concealed carry option. Next will be a law you must have liability insurance and with none available, yoù have been disarmed even if you have a permit.

buckeyeshooter

I think I might start with a letter to corporate headquarters. Certainly, with the number of NRA members they would not want the NRA members to boycott them.

buckeyeshooter

My one experience was going in for shotshells on sale at a low price. I bought several boxes and did not find out until later that the boxes they sold contained only 20 instead of 25 shotshells. As far as I am concerned, the name suits them.

buckeyeshooter

In my black powder shotshells, I have used a cotton ball or piece of a cotton ball to adjust the height of the powder column and also in the shot cup to reduce the shot charge. Basically, I make a 3 1/2 inch 10 gauge into a 2 3/4 12 gauge load using black and 1 ounce of shot. Cas black powder class.

buckeyeshooter

Dang, I cant imagine cutting down a 24 inch barrel and rasping off the monte carlo. I have been looking for that configuration for years... they dont show up often.

buckeyeshooter

That last bit, makes me like him a bit more. Rest in Peace R. Lee.

buckeyeshooter

Those 2 are like .38 S&W compared to .38 Special and your .500 is a .38 +p compared to the 50 Alaskan and modern 50-110 which is a .357 mag.

buckeyeshooter

I have been using 35 grains of goex xx. 40 grains is not as accurate in my guns.

buckeyeshooter

Sounds like you got a nice one.

buckeyeshooter

Call me traditional but I still use Elmer Keiths load of 22 grains of 2400 and a 240 grain bullet.

buckeyeshooter

Don't forget to look at a Turnbull 1886. The price differental is worth the upgrade in quality. You dont have to get 45/70. You can go 45/90, 50/110 or 470 Turnbull too.

buckeyeshooter

Never have had a 63, but do have an 18-2 with 3T's bought new in the 80's. A great shooter and easy to carry.

buckeyeshooter

No clue from me, but I do know I have been using mine several days a week for over 10 years and it still looks great and shows no wear other than where the buckle. Touches the leather around the belt hole.
