Rube, Super cool. Those ones you have that were made in lancaster,Pa. is only a stones throw from me. I only have one. Its an Elgin that is heavily engraved (can't see from older photo). My grandfather bought it upon his arrival here from Sicily in 1912.----------Sixgun http://www.hunt101.com/data/5...

Sometimes people over-analyze bullet lube.

45% beeswax---55% white lithium grease (available everywhere but the post office)

I think you have too much time on your hands.

28 grains of 5744 with the Lyman 457124---1250 -1300 fps. I think its the 457124. I'm too lazy to run down to the dungeon. Its the 385-400 (depending on alloy) grain RN with a mess of lube grooves. There's also the 500 grain version but I never messed with that one.--------------Sixgun

w30wcf, Thanks for the good wishes. I believe there will be some Aussies at Whittington again this year. That ain't fair!!

Life is short---buy what you want.

If you want a 45 ACP cylinder, you obviously have a mess of 45 auto you want to rid yourself of. If not, load the 45 L---ooo----nnn---ggg Colt to the same specs.

Interesting concept. Although I'm not a boltgun guy, there's plenty of possibilities in this rig. Kinda like a "grown up" 32-20 with the greater strength & accuracy of a boltgun and without the heavier recoil of a .44 mag. I had a 788 Rem. in 44 mag and that baby had some kick to it---...

When gold hit $1200, I took some junk (watch cases, chains, tie clips, etc.) down to this jewelry store who buys it. 18K gold is 58% gold, so if you have an ounce of 18K, its worth about $600+. They give you half of the current value. Its still better to invest in quality Winchesters & Colts----...

I like the gear system it uses. :D I never saw nothing like that. :wink: I've been using the regular style for so long I probably would know how to use it.

Mike D. wrote:.38-56..blah? My feeling is crushed, Sixgun.

'Ah, come on Mike!

The 38-56 in a 1886 Winchester reminds me of a 40-60 WCF in a 1876-----a lot more gun than the cartridge.

A .22 does kill but the fact remains that it has to hit soft tissue and then somehow penetrate to hit the vitals. Any hit on solid bone is just gonna pi^# 'em off or knock 'em out for a short time.

Thats a question I don't want to get into. Remember now, I've been playing with leverguns since 1966 when I was 12. Its been a lifelong addiction and my dies number well over 60.

C.H., I have extensive use with 5744, going through probably 10-12 pounds of year. Just be careful as its fairly easy to double charge. Just because you can't find it locally does not mean you can't get it. Money talks :wink: Tell your dealer to order you some even if you have to buy a case of it. I...

Stretch, Good for you on the lucky draw. :D Choices, choices, choices...but fun choices :D .. Never having hunted moose but have dropped a few elk, I'd have to say to take the gun that "stirs your soul" and make the best of it. If its the 41 mag, get yourself a hard cast bullet in the 220 ...

That means at least 163 of you went to the Midway site and searched "Wrangler II" to see if the 38-55 barrels are still available. More like 169, probably. ;) As for the real Wrangler II in the Gunbroker ad, that dealer is north of Philthadelphia Ha! Your good Rick! :D #1.) Hey, do I know...

Noah,

Funny thing, the guns you mentioned are ones I've had plenty of experience with and I can't say nothin' bad 'bout 'em. 99% of the time its a 'cleaning issue", especially with .22's. I've shot Ruget Mini-14's 'till the cows came home and the only thing about them is that they spray when they get...
