Never cared for Bisley, or dbl action. I actually prefer the Remingtons over Colt single actions.

veeman

Because the working man pays for it.

veeman

I was thinking Jelly Belly Prickster.

veeman

I don't have any REAL Winchester 76's, mine are all Uberti's. But they are my favorites.

Got all my leverguns home now, so out for a family group shot. https://uniim1.shutterfly.com/render/00-Dhr2tlvawMSNFX4TrMAMCKr_1AnQ3pv5Eb7vbRPURMqmBV0947tC7dFl2mtKyUS8aAUrgnwgvQnZ_1RWb7NZPA?cn=THISLIFE&res=medium&ts=1777772276&ts=1777772277 So, the line up is left to right, Uberti 66 44-...

Food for thought here, on all my big bore rifles I get a leather Butt cover with the shotgun conversion from https://gunstockcover.com/ Even on a couple 94 rifles. These are great! Adds an inch or so LOP, which is great for me. My Browning 1886's, https://uniim1.shutterfly.com/render/00-Dhr2tlvawMSN...

veeman

Be86 works pretty good as a replacement for Unique for me, easy to find and alot cheaper.

veeman

Today I cast 250 350g bullets from an Accurate 46-350DL mold.

veeman

If your interested, I have a short 20" 45-75 barrel and mag tube I bought from Yahoody several years ago but never used. I'd be happy to sell it.

veeman

Picked up a Uberti NWMP SRC 1876 in 45/75 this past weekend. Nice addition to my 76 collection. https://uniim1.shutterfly.com/render/00-Dhr2tlvawMSNFX4TrMAMCKr_1AnQ3pv5Eb7vbRPURMq1IT5EWmoeAV_7iklawzHeaAUrgnwgvQnZ_1RWb7NZPA?cn=THISLIFE&res=medium&ts=1774898812&ts=1774898812 https://uniim1...

Other than a couple Ruger Blackhawks with 7.5" barrels, I have only a USFA SAA 7.5" 38/40.

Do the River Walk.

We were there a few years ago. I felt that the history of the place is lost because the only thing left is the mission, everything else is gone. It's in the middle of a city of 3 million? As I understand the history, the mission itself is where the women and children hid, not where the actual battle...

Shot it last sunday, and its a shooter for sure. Needs some tweaking, as the loading gate and tube spring are grossly over sprung. I found that the NOE 200g SWC is too long to feed when crimped in the crimp grove so need to do some experimenting with that one. The Accurate 40-180E bullet is great! A...

veeman

Give them Chitcago.

veeman

Planning of shooting it Sunday. The molds I have if an Accurate 40-180E, and a NOE 200g SWC. I've already found that the SWC won't feed with the bullet seated to the crimp groove. Have to do a little spearaminting with that one. Got some test loads ready in smokeless and FFFGoex.

I haven't watched a Super Bowl since the Packers played in it. Halftime show even longer. Don't do the hiphopgaycrossdresser bs. I have no idea what this bud lite thing is. Last bud light commercial I saw was the dilly dilly thing.

veeman

When I checked my deer in this past season, I was asked if I used shotgun or rifle, I said rifle, she said Cool! Nothing else. I could have use a howitzer for all they cared. Had the game warden been there it may have been a different story. Deer checkers are mostly students for wildlife biology I s...

Just got this home today, a Uberti Short Rifle in 38/40! Got a couple boxes of BP loaded up, ready for a warm enough shooting day. https://uniim1.shutterfly.com/render/00-Dhr2tlvawMSNFX4TrMAMCKr_1AnQ3pv5Eb7vbRPURMqx-U6k5oAogt_u2iQ91zubKwg5ydwHipy3aIZBf9dNYQ?cn=THISLIFE&res=medium&ts=17705061...

"straight wall" debate as its not really a straight wall . It has two very distinct body tapers.

It's straight enough to be legal in Illinois.

Veeman, it looks like you have a Skinner sight on there. How is it mounted? [/quote] I had this and both my Browning 1886's D&Ted for these Skinner sights. I don't think they are being produced in this style anymore. I called their shop to get a 2nd one for my 86 src but no go so still on the lo...

I used my Crazy Horse this past season with success! I used Barnes ..377 bullets with 2400 powder. That was the main reason I bought in NIB, new barrel, no bs lawyer safety's. I do wish it had an octagon barrel, the thin round barrel gets purty hot after a few shots. But it shoots great and fun to h...

veeman

Blasphemy!!

veeman

Nice shooting!

veeman

I think you'll like it, I sure like mine. Have them on 4 76's, 2 86's, 2 94's and 1 92. I did have to use a file on some of them to get them to fit. File the sight, not the gun.

veeman

I use these Marbles barrel mounted peep sights on my 76's and Browning 86's.

veeman

I Marbles peep sights I have on all 4 of my Uberti 76's are barrel mounted. I love them. I put Marbles front sights on my 76's also. https://uniim1.shutterfly.com/render/00-Dhr2tlvawMSNFX4TrMAMCKr_1AnQ3pv5Eb7vbRPURMrcUz5jC99HTII5YqVafs4uV7ntXQOewWgszVPDOQPWWw?cn=THISLIFE&res=medium&ts=168168...

veeman

I shoot a few, 32-20, 38-40, 44-40, 30-30, 38-55, 40-60, 45-60, 45-70, 45-75, 50-95. I think that's all of them.

veeman

I have both books, great reading. I like Be86 powder for Unique replacement.

veeman

Nice job! Real hunting.

veeman

Easy, the crimp groove on both bullets is in the same place., more lead below the crimp groove on the 350, same amount on top.

veeman

I use Accurate molds for my 45/60, the 46-350DL and the 46-305C. I use these bullets in all three of my 45 rifles, 45/60, 45/70, and 45/75. My 45/60 really prefers the 350 grainers. I do not have to trim my brass shorter for these bullets.

veeman

I don't recall the year made, but the Winchester trapper I had was pre safety, but had a huge chamber. Came out looking like a bottle neck round. Hard on the brass. I don't know if they were all like that, but mine was. But it was a very accurate little thing.

veeman

Had one years ago, chamber was HUGE, brass looked a coke bottle after fired. But it was a pretty accurate lil thing.

veeman

My method it to try multiple bullets with multiple powders to see what your rifle likes.

veeman

I'm looking for a receiver mounter peep for my Browning 86, (not the bolt mounted one) I called and was told they are no longer being made. I really like the one on my rifle, had the SRC drilled and tapped for one also. Too late. If anyone has one they don't want anymore.

veeman

Be safe, not sorry. Use a different bullet. That, or set your bullet deeper with a Lee FCD.

veeman

I honestly haven't looked on store shelves for years as I'm a reloader, just don't need to look. I got 2 deer in 2 days with my Winchester Chief Crazy Horse 94 using 255g Barnes bullet over 18.0g of 2400. Worked like a charm.

veeman

Bill in Oregon wrote: ↑Sun Nov 23, 2025 9:37 am Nice work Veeman. Were you tempted to do the same with one of your 1876s?

Yes! I had left the 94 in the blind overnight (locked up). Had i taken it home I would have taken the 45-60 out for the buck. Next season for sure, I may buy another tag for next week.

veeman

I'm in Stephenson county, just south of Freeport, which borders Wisconsin, NW part of the state. My load it 18.0 of 2400 with a Barnes 255g .377 bullet.

veeman

I'm sure he know what to look for as it's the law here. Today the Same rifle made more meat as the good Lord brought me a nice 8 pointer. 88 yard shot. https://scontent-ord5-3.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.30808-6/587951046_10229610317991751_1337038130771361970_n.jpg?_nc_cat=109&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=833d8c&...

veeman

Winchester 94 Chief Crazy Horse 38/55 did the job today, 30 yard shot. Here in Illinois we can use rifles now as long as it's a single shot. I made it so by putting a wooden dowel in the mag tube. Think I'll do it again tomorrow! https://scontent-ord5-3.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.30808-6/586248800_102296028...

veeman

Today would be 44-40, 45-60 and 38-55.

veeman

File the sight, not the gun. Once the metal is gone, it's gone, and you can't put it back.

veeman

Gibson and Marshall, nothin better.

veeman

My one and only 9mm in a Ruger 1911 SR9, light weight, shoots everything it gets fed, has never failed, not once. Best Ruger I've ever had. It's also very accurate. Safe to say it's my favorite 1911 after my old Colt 1991A1. https://uniim1.shutterfly.com/render/00-Dhr2tlvawMSNFX4TrMAMCKr_1AnQ3pv5Eb7...

Shipped is when there is a date of delivery.
