Welcome home, did you bring back a magandangdalaga? :wink: I don't think so but I'm not sure what that is :lol: Bought a fifth of 15 year old Tanduay for $5 american !

When we returned to Cagayan de Oro on the first trip to the beach our bus was stopped at a military check point ! The Philipinne Army was looking for rebels and they made all the filipino's get off the bus while they searched ! The only males left on the bus were the driver , a Korean man and myself...

While we were at the beach that day my friends nephew Danille decided to do some hunting of his own !

And he was succesfull I might add !

Well I finally arrived in Dullus this morning after missing a connecting flight from San Francisco .

But let me just say I enjoyed my two weeks in PI , but it is great to be standing in th...

I think the Hornady Leverevolution ammo is a fad that will fade eventually. So what if it is a fad as you say ! If it generates some intrest and revenue for Hornady I consider that a good thing !

About 15 years ago I had a chance to purchase a nice old Stevens 24 in 22/410 . It had belonged to and old gunsmith friend ! He had run the 22LR chamber out to 22 MAG and it had the plastic wood grained Tenite stock . I think it was sold for $125 and was in about 95% shape ! I'd still like to have o...

You might possibly have misread as the 44 MAG is loaded with the 225 grain bullet in the LE ammo !

I've checked the Midway and Hornady web sites and there is no mention of a 45 Long Colt with the Leverevolution bullet . They did however come out this year with the rubber tipped ammo in the 357 MAG , 44 MAG and the 32 Special . Oh yeah I almost forgot , they brought it out in the 22 MAG as well :w...

I already have a couple boxes for the 357 MAG and 44 MAG . But I wasn't aware they had started making them for the 45 Long Colt !

I remember seeing the 480 listed in one of Winchester's last few catalogs in 04-05 maybe. Did they ever make anything in that caliber? No they listed it for 2 consecutive years in their catalog ! And two years in a row I had my dealer contact them to see about availability and two years running the...

I am usually pretty easy going about guns and rifles in particular . I have had a couple Ruger SRH's in 480 and they were nice enough ! Later Marlin "CLAIMED" they were making a model 1895RL that you could shoot both the 480 and 475 ! Well since I already had brass , dies , moulds and many...

I went to the local bank today to get some money . And they have a 20,000 Peso minnimum . Most taxi's etc cannot break 500 or 1000 peso notes . So when I came from the bank I had a roll of money that would choke a horse ! When in reality it was a little less then $500 american !

For the last 3 or 4 years I'd say 90% of the deer I've killed have been taken with levers ! And out of the other 10% they were mostly popped with ML's . I like hunting with bolt actions also .

what is your impression compared to 357?

It has adjustable sights .

To me it's like a light 357 MAG .

I also think the Hogue grip makes it a much more uhm comfortable little gun to hold . The stock grips do not fit my hand so well . But then I have a fairly large paw

It's supposed to be a belted 45-70 for lack of a better explanation . That way the factory can load them up a bit and not have to worry about someone shooting the ammo in an old Trapddor .
