I have a question for all you reloaders. Can coated bullets be used in my two new Rossi model 92? I have heard is not a good idea, especially for 357 mag, and 454 casull Not a Rossi, but I have shot a thousand or more powder coated bullets in my Henry Big Boy in 357 mag without any issues. Also use...

MGR1, A question for you, When you said Swiss #4 black powder were you referring to 4F powder, or something else. I've not heard of of black powder referred to in this way before. Joe Swiss operates with 'grades' on their powders. So #4 is a coarse powder for use in long rifles. N°1 = 4 Fg N°2 = 3 ...

Thanks for the kind comments. This video was more of an exercise to learn the basics of the Davinci Resolve free video editor. I still have quite alot to learn. I have some spare time on my hands due to the corona situation. Over here in Norway we all are ordered to work from home, and fortunately I...

Snow storm here now. Here is a webcam very close to me: https://embed.metnet.no/?dash=wvNtBWvFXm

Hi all. Some 44-40 range action with my Winchester M73, Miroku manufactured. Cartridges are loaded with Swiss #4 black powder, under Accurate Molds #43-220C (sized to .430") bullets pan lubed with a 50/50 beeswax/lard mix. A very good combination; I see no deterioration in accuracy even after 1...

I have used Hodgdon Universal with success in 356 Win, 7.65x53, 6.5x55, 44-40 WCF and 357 Magnum. Great powder for reduced loads. Very accurate and low standard deviation. I have not found it to be very position sensitive.

Now do it off hand
Get a brimmed hat to keep the sun out of your eyes.

N.

Yes, off hand next . Not sure about the hat though .

As I get older those sights get murkier and fuzzier. I never liked scopes on lever guns but ……. Another concession I am making to old age. How do you like the Henry? If you had to do it over again would you buy the Henry or save up a few more dollars and get a Winchester or Marlin? I'm thinking ser...

Hi all. A couple of videos for you, recorded on thursday at my local range. A lovely morning, although the light was not ideal for shooting, which might account for some of my misses ;). Lots of roe deer tracks in the snow at the range. Temperature was -4 C / 24 F. First some Miroku Winchester M73 4...

I LOVE your range :mrgreen: Great to see your 73 making smoke, what were your loads?. First a few reduced loads with 17 grain Lovex D060 (similar to AA5744) under Lee 429-200-RF bullets. The rest was with Pyrodex P and Lyman 427098 bullets. Velocites were around 1050 fps for both. I always clean th...

It was a beautiful day yesterday, so I had to take out the M73 for a short range session:

Hi all.

Just brought in this little homeless rascal. He has come to a good home.

I have searched the net, to no avail.

Hi all.

Just bought this nice vintage gun bag. Appears to be unused, and has a great father and son hunting scene inside. Probably from the 60's I would say. Has anyone seen these before, and know who made them and when?

Hi all. In the 1970's and 80's Winchester used some sort of reddish lacquer for their stocks, see example below. Does anyone here know how to reproduce this factory finish? Thanks, Michael https://cdn2.bigcommerce.com/server5100/7g4m0/products/127002/images/687196/_HHP8801__31208.1497546174.1280.128...

Thats good shooting, was gonna ask you about your brass, but saw you were watching where every piece landed when you levered a new round in. Todd/3leg Yes, have to watch them carefully :D. I have 113 used Winchester cases and 100 new Jamison ones. However I have successfully converted some 7x57R ca...

Wow! Very cool. 8) Very good shooting! 356... didn't expect that one. I haven't been able to get out to the range for quite some time now. This just reminded me of how much I NEED to get back out there. Thanks, that was a treat! Yes, the 356 Win is a great caliber. You can hear it has quite some en...

Interesting that the unsuppressed .357 isn't much if any louder than the suppressed 356.

Joe

Yes, the 356 Win has a loud crack. The suppressor is an old one though, it is some 20 years old.

I had a fine morning at the range yesterday, shooting the Henry Big Boy Steel 357 Magnum: https://youtu.be/Z9oOA3kO60o

And the Winchester 94AE Big Bore 356 Winchester: https://youtu.be/tWj_b-aXUmA

The sound of the gong is very satisfying .

Many thanks all, I'll check these out .

Hi all.

Could you suggest some good books about the Winchester 94? I'm interested in the technical aspects of the rifle and year to year changes, mainly the post-64 and 70's and 80's models.

Thanks,
Michael

Many thanks for the welcome :) . I can disclose that the top (silver) gun is a Walther Co2 levergun :D. Perfect for training in the basement. Yes, the Weaver Micro Trac K2.5-1 must be one of the last that came from the old El Paso factory, and perhaps one of the best. A very nice period accessory. A...

I haven't shot the Winchester yet, no. Bought it recently, very reasonably.

Here it is with some others, do you guess which? The upper is a tough one .

Hi all.

I'm new to this forum. Here are some pics of my 356 Winchester 94 Big Bore. A hunting gun. Not mint, but nice patina. What do you think?

Regards,
MGR
