G'day guys and thanks for the input. :) Bartman, yeah I thought that it should be .379 but look at this link to see other peoples bore sizes: http://www.levergunscommunity.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=10192 The Winchester factory 38-55 loads are .375'' that is why they are going in sideways at 100m. ...

Aussie Chris

Yeah that is very cool! Great find!!

Aussie Chris

Gday everyone and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! :D As some of you know I have started collecting commemorative Winchesters and I am going to enjoy one of my NIB commemoratives, shock horror :twisted: Well I slugged the bore a few weeks ago and it is .379 size, I know some of you here have them run in at .375. I...

My father had a couple of 94's (30-30s and .44s) but he sold them before I was even born. I kept bugging dad as a kid to buy some more and teach me to shoot but he never got around to it. So when I turned 18 I had enough and went out and got my shooters licence. Followed by my game licence for deer ...

Aussie Chris

Alright sixgun, advise me of the shipping of the 55 Chev to Melbourne Australia

Aussie Chris

The big game ones I think are:

30.06 Sprg
.50 BMG round
20mm Vulcan cannon round?
30mm Cannon round?
40mm Anti aircraft Bofors round. (ive got a few of these

)

Aussie Chris

Aussie Chris

Winchester 1895 .405 Win
Winchester 1886 lightweight take down 45-70 Govt
Winchester 1894 Pre '64 30-30 Win
Winchester 9422 .22 LR

Aussie Chris

That was very very cool! But yeah, they need some excitement in their lives.

Aussie Chris

I want one!!! I have always liked the 1886. It would be good to get it without the checkering...

Aussie Chris

Great story and pics. Shame about those ******* 'hunters', what goes around comes around.
I like the idea of the sled, it's a shame I can't use one where I hunt, it's just too bloody rough and steep.
Good work

Chris

Aussie Chris

Now that is very cool. I wish I could hunt from home just like that

Aussie Chris

I have heard stories of people getting impailed by antlers on sambar deer down here. This is why I wait a few minutes after it looks dead, then poke it in the eye with the muzzle of my rifle. Better to be safe rather then sorry

Aussie Chris

Very nice! Good work

Aussie Chris

I hunt sambar deer down here in Victoria with a good mate of mine. I wear the German army flecker style uniform. It blends in really well with the Australian bush and is also cheap! I just returned from a hunting trip during my leave, on sunday on which my mate gave me a gortex flecker waterproof ja...

Aussie Chris

Ah yes, the good old ANZAC biscuits! My mum makes a nice variety of them too

And lets get one thing straight, don't worry about what it says on the pack, they are called biscuits not cookies

or as we say biccies

LEST WE FORGET

Chris

Aussie Chris

No, not when I'm hunting but at the shooting range for sure.

Aussie Chris

Great hunting story KirkD! Great shooting with good old faithful too! I used to have your picture of that rifle on my desktop (lying on the red blanket surrounded by maple leaves ), looks like you have gone with the peepsight these days. I find the Lyman better on one of my 94's too. I am heading ou...

Aussie Chris

Gday there KirkD. Wow, what a great calender! Is Australia an option for postage?

Aussie Chris

This may help

Aussie Chris

Wow! All great advice! I have been away and just saw the rest of the replies now. Thanks everyone. I made a typo in my prevous post, I have the starline brass that measure about 2.0800''. Some of you guys use this length brass or the longer type. Could I burn the throat out if I use this shorter len...

Aussie Chris

Thanks for the help guys. Yeah I will have to slug the barrel to see how big or small she actually is. Do I have the right length brass? I went by the dimensions for 38-55 brass in my lyman reloading manual. It has case length at: .3770''. is this length you guys are sticking to with your comemmorat...

Aussie Chris

Gday everyone. I have finally found a little time to start thinking about reloading some rounds for my new legendary frontiersmen comemmorative, in 38-55. :mrgreen: I have done a search on here but couldn't find much reloading info. I got my local gundealer to order me in some of the starline brass ...

Aussie Chris

Yeah I have seen the rifles on used guns. I check that site quite a bit. It is temoting but I think I will leave this one. Let me know if you are interested in it bruce..

Aussie Chris

Sorry guys I have been away for a few days. Yep Old Savage, thats the one. You have a nice shooter there!

Thanks for the info everyone

Aussie Chris

Thanks Griff. Yeah I thought it was a bit steep.

Aussie Chris

Gday fellas. I have been offered a NIB unlevered 1894-1994 centennial. It is the standard grade one. Just curious as to what they are going for over there because the price does seem expensive-$1500AUS. It is tempting though

Aussie Chris

Haha! Sounds like a great idea gundownunder. Your avatar is hot!

Aussie Chris

Yeah welcome to the forum Crow. Its great to see some Aussies around here

Aussie Chris

Just boil it in a big pot. Make sure you dont burn the coronets of the antlers though. It will smell the house out a little but you get that with the big jobs! I did it with my sambar skull and it worked great. Looks even better after bleaching it.

Aussie Chris

Thanks for the kind welcome fellas

Aussie Chris

Thanks for the kind words gentlemen. Yeah I suppose I have a good excuse for gloating

Pop, that 38-55 sounds nice! Good luck with the purchase. I will start asking some load questions when I am free to shoot it in a few months.

Thanks guys

Aussie Chris

Thanks guys. Yeah I will be shooting the Legendary Frontiersmen Bruce. I don't think I will fire the Little Big Horn in 44-40 dad really wants it anyway. The LF is a great rifle! I think it just looks right with the long barrel. I wish my other Winchesters had long barrels. Do you reload for it Bruc...

Aussie Chris

Gday there people. Went to an auction down here with dad a couple of weeks back and picked up myself a few nice model 94 Winchesters AS EVERY MAN SHOULD DO I bid on 6 and won 5 of them. Didnt pay too much and got now when I think about it great bargains. The 4 that are new and unfired are all comemm...

Aussie Chris

Gday there everyone. I was a member of the old forum a few years back. Just thought I'd say hi. I am 23 and purchased my first rifle when I was 18. It was a model 94 Winchester XTR made in '79. I guess you could say I started off big hehe. Since then I have bought a 9422 and a Tikka T3 in 30.06. I s...
