I'll say.

My '94 Marlin is a 25-20. I kind of wish it was a 32.

ya sure, go for it.

I've never had a Bearcat, shoot mostly centerfire. That may have to change.

What bullet do you load in your .356?

Welcome, ving-thorr

Well done!
Those muley antlers look kind of whitetail-ish.

Nice!
There's something to be said for living near a big city gun shop, that's for sure. Nothing like that ever shows up aroud here that I know of.

a Model 99 Savage in 35 Rem.
now that's pretty darn cool.

Twodot

the only thing that changes is the chamber and the size of the hole in the barrel.

that plus brass and dies and a good bullet mould

. I'm another one who likes the center hold for hunting. So I use the black on white bull for sight-in and use the 6 O'clock hold with the front sight just touching the bottom (6 o'clock) of the black. Then adjust my sight for a 6 O'clock impact which makes it a center hold. Sounds confusing but it...

looks like a bunch of bootleggers to me

moose? in No. Dak?
I never heard of such a thing

I should add a "Good Luck" to my post about getting a new tag.

Even if someone at G & F eventually does the right thing, it will probably come after the season closes.

Don, you too, huh?

Twodot

Nice one. Sometimes things just come together like that.
..

Twodot

you shot it fair and square.
you tagged it legal.
the State took it.
they owe you a replacement tag.
call the G&F in Cheyene, get names & don't take no for an answer.

When asked by some youngster why us old guys always finish the last half mile or so of a hike on our hands & knees, the best answer is we save wear on our boot soles that way

Twodot

yup, sad indeed. It's tough to let a friend go.
I went thru the same thing several years ago, on New Years eve no less. Swore I'd never do that again but by June there was a new puppy in the house. The darn thing was just too cute to pass up.

Have you thought about a paper patched bullet?

for the (assumed) intended use, you MUST trust the firearm & cartridge.
I like resolvers, but that's just me.

I have found that Scheels has some good prices and some not so good. Like everything else, it pays to be an informed consumer.

I can't see how having bullets on hand drives anything whatsoever. Is there a better reason to get a new rifle? :) It's your money ........... Yup. :) If it was me I would get something smaller & lighter (.357 mag, 32-20, 25-20). The OP likes the lines of a pistol grip levergun so it may take s...

Twodot

Gary,

No, not from Two Dot but it makes a good screen name. I'm on the Yellowstone. I guess you heard about the busted crude oil pipeline. Bad deal.

I've probably floated past your place a half dozen times while fishing. Next time I'll wave or stop in and say Howdy.

Twodot

Nothing like a little fishing to make the yard work go faster.

As a guess I'd say you are located below Holter someplace?

Twodot

Even with a dead soft alloy you don't have to worry about lack of penetration when shooting cast bullets. Think of how well a pure lead round ball works in a muzzle laoder, your cartridge guns will do even better. Start with a 50/50 mix of wheel weight & lead. Air cool some and water drop some. ...

My 15 inch TC Contender pistol in 35 Rem will push 200 gr bullets close to 2000 ft/sec with by the book reloads. A 16.5" carbine should do a little better, and that isn't all that far from factory ammo specs.

If you do that in Montana the game warden might be calling on you. Here you have use the wings & legs too. Otherwise it's a "waste of game".

Its gotta be a fluke.
A riflegun with a two piece stock cannot shoot minute of angle groups.
I read it in a book someplace and on the internet, it must be true.

Nice rifle by the way.

Twodot was named for “Two Dot” Wilson, local a cattleman who got his nickname because his brand was two dots placed on the shoulders and hips of his cattle and horses, which made it very difficult for a thief to alter the brand.

Thanks for the welcome. Deer Lodge to Butte by way of Twodot is the looong way around. I have priced a couple of original '92s and they are beyond my means. I am looking for a shooter not a safe queen. Hunting is always good. But it is the country that draws me. I am sure somewhere there is it's equ...

Everyone has to have a FIRST POST and this one is mine. I've been lurking around here for quite a while and have wanted to add my thoughts to several threads but because I was not registered I was mute. I'm a shooter, handloader and caster of bullets. For now all of my leverguns are Marlins but I lo...
