Earl I tried them for the 38WCF and the Gould 330 in the 45/70. The 38WCF worked well and the Gould need more dia. so powder coating fixed that issue. Looking forward to a range report.

I went out back this morning and got this small nine point with my Excalibar 355 crossbow. He went away (150 yards) even though double lunged. After the uphill drag I am glad he wasn't bigger and he is the first deer I've shot with a drop tine out of around 125 or more. Meat in the freezer is good

I bought a Citori about 8 years ago and have really enjoyed it. I hadn't hunted pheasant in years and was invited to go with a old friend to a private club. I didn't miss a bird and some were flushed at 30 yards out and going fast. I also love it for turkey and the choice of imp mod for close birds ...

EdinCT

Nice rifle Earl! I grew up with a 1892 38WCF being the big gun on the farm. I believed the gun writers that it was a weak sister in the woods until I shot a few deer with it.

EdinCT

Praying for you.

EdinCT

Nice shooting Kirk, I would say that old girl is ready to hunt!

EdinCT

Thanks to all for the birthday wishes! I worked it away but intend to make up for it this weekend!

EdinCT

Prayers for her recovery! I had the right hand done in Jan and the left done in Feb. I still have a numb middle finger tip on the left but the Doc says it will get better. One thing I can say is they haven't woke me up once since being done.

I have to admit carrying the bird and blind\decoys made me a little tired

. Nice Jake and good sized also.
A young man at work shot a 26 lb bird opening day weekend on his Uncles farm! I told him it might be the best he ever gets

EdinCT

I went out back this morning hoping to beat the rain but it started just after I set up my blind. I was thankful I was inside the blind but the wind and fog did dampen my hopes of seeing a gobbler. I had two hen decoys and a full strut gobbler out in a 10 acre field about 25 yards in front and calle...

Prayers for You and your Doctor. Hope you get great relief.

I have a buddy who had a detector that cost him around 2000 grand and he found about everything one can imagine. He found a button from a war of 1812 coat between the road and sidewalk in the downtown of Groton CT! Colonial coppers and musket balls in places you would go to jail today for shooting o...

I have a soft spot for #4's I started with one and it split's a high speed Long rifle shell rim because of its worn chamber but it could be used with a short, long or even a standard velocity Long rifle to hit a empty shotshell end at 40 yards when I could see ! Great project and I am looking forwar...

EdinCT

Praying for you Sir!

EdinCT

Thanks for that info I have been double coating to get good coverage. Looks like I may of over thought it.

EdinCT

Enjoy your time with family!

EdinCT

I Feel your pain I was looking at 20 ga doubles yesterday and my Wife reminded me I foolishly told her I didn't need any more guns about 15 years ago.

EdinCT

Write Barnes and ask them how much would it cost to do a run of 200 gr flat points. It might be cheaper than what you are proposing seeing how they have one worked up for the 30 wcf they should have a good idea how to get it to expand.

EdinCT

I have just found out that my 38 year old Niece who suffers from Huntingtons had been sending money to a person she met online. She was warned that it most likely was a scam but took off to met them last week. She was driving in Virginia and was pulled over by the police and placed in the mental hos...

Try loading poly shot buffer over your reduced powder charge or even paper patched bullets will polish a bore.

EdinCT

Thanks for posting this! My wife and I always send a boys and a girls box and enjoy having my grand daughter help picking things out.

EdinCT

I have been shooting the Harbor Freight Red in my Marlin 45/70 CB. I seemed to run out of lube in the 26 inch barrel and this solved it. Also my 330 gr Gould bullet cast small for the CBs bore so the powder coat added just enough to the dia to get it working with a alloy that will expand. Funny Earl...

EdinCT

I carry the same S&W everyday. I am having a little trouble with seeing the front sight But have painted it with sight bright orange and its working pretty good. I tried a lazer grip but in daylight it was worthless. I can keep it in a 12 inch bull at 25 yards standing again but 10 years ago a b...

EdinCT

Sorry for your loss. Its been 11 years since my Dad passed and I still feel the great loss. Guess that says what kind of fathers we had. Praying for you and the family.

EdinCT

Not bad at all Nath! When I was young I would load two balls in my 50 cal rifle and they shot about 3" apart at fifty yards. Looks like you don't give up much in the smoothbore.

EdinCT

Kirk that is a very fine honest rifle. I like it! Looks like some one liked it enough to use it and take care of it also. Looking forward to hearing more about it in the future.

EdinCT

If I am not mistaken that 94 has been chambered to 256 win. so its not unmolested. While very nice I would shoot it.

EdinCT

Earl I was wondering if you melt them down will the checks anneal soft enough to enlarge with one of NOE's gas check expanders? Might not be worth it with those checks and normal sized hands. http://noebulletmolds.com/NV/product_info.php?cPath=432&products_id=3354&osCsid=ei9j8o6a46g9kv9c9s1m...

EdinCT

Nice! I have my Gramps 38wcf and have thought of trying it for the same purpose. The 180 gr Seirra's with a factory crimp die shoot great but are a little fragile for deer, might just be ideal for coyotes. Have to admit iron sights aren't the best option for me anymore.

EdinCT

I just bought a new pair a few years back. I find them perfect for early season until December. For stand hunting I wear a light pair of wool socks with a heavy pair over them and even with poor food circulation I'm ok. I really like the fact that they are made in the USA!!!

EdinCT

Update I tried a load of 9.1 gr of 231 and it shot about 8 inches low, windage was good though and nice 1.5 inch group. Also loaded 7.5 grains of Unique and 11 gr of the same with the 200 gr bullets. The 7.5 fell right in with the 231 group, But the 11 gr group was only 2 inches low. So its getting ...

EdinCT

I guess I will have to get serious and load multiple 5 shot rounds like it was a new gun. I bought this fixed sight revolver because when they are on they tend to stay that way forever. But now my eyes are ageing the sight picture isn't so hot. I do have sight black like Six recommended. This is one...

EdinCT

Not sure but hardened shot with a high antimony level may have something to do with it, antimony unblended takes over 1100 degrees to melt. Not to sound like a jerk is the pot heater turned all the way up?

EdinCT

I have a Ruger Bisley 44 mag with fixed sights that I regulated for 9 gr of Unique and a Keith SWC. It shot to point of aim at 75 yards years ago when I could see. (Even bent the front sight a little) It gets a lot of safe time now but the other night while looking for something else on the bench I ...

EdinCT

Thanks Blaine I needed a laugh! Waiting for a well pump man to show up! Been without water since Sat night and exhausted all but pulling the pump so the chuckle was good!!

EdinCT

When I was young in CT black powder deer was Round Ball only. I bought a 54 cal Sharon 1-72 twist barrel for my TC Hawken. 120 gr of ffg and a 235 gr .535 ball was 2000 FPS. What a deer hammer!
I always liked the H&A under hammers and they came in all cal's from .36 up if I remember right.

EdinCT

The open shotgun isn't the same without PB in a paper hull.

EdinCT

Welcome from Connecticut! The 71 Winchester has always tripped my trigger, but I never have bought one, yet at least

EdinCT

Come on Six don't mess with that thing, Paper patch those bullets and shoot them in the 25-20. Think of it has therapy!

EdinCT

Welcome, your 30-30 is a good one has you know and I shot several deer with Gramps 38-40 I think you need one of those also. It is so easy to enable!!

EdinCT

I shot one in the lungs with my 4 gr of unique load that chrony's 1180 at 80 yards a few years ago and it dropped in about 12 feet. my neighbor had a Savage 23 that he used years ago in his orchard to kill deer. It worked. Six, I'm sure you do have coyotes. Saw were they are inside New York city now...

EdinCT

The Starline nickel brass is good but no better than the plain brass, I use it so I know it is a different load from my plinking 4 gr of Unique. I bought a hundred for that purpose.
And yes no snow remaining at this time and thankful for that

EdinCT

I had seen a grey coyote twice this last year out in the wood lot. What I haven't seen are fawns and turkeys like I did in the past. I had carpel tunnel surgery last Friday and am out of work for awhile, so I put a Fox pro electronic call, a howler and Primos Ki-Yi call in my pack last night. Late t...

EdinCT

Around 1970 I watched a women who was visiting the neighbors shoot cans at about 40 yards with one and only missed a couple out of 50 rounds. It left an impression!
Very nice!

EdinCT

1894C, you sure its not the Holly weird bunch trying to cross into Canada that you need protection from.

EdinCT

Great Photos ! I have a friend who was big time into metal detecting and found handful's of the round balls shot from Bess's on town greens all over New England. He believed it was due to drilling of colonial's. He just gave me a perfect flint that he found. Makes one really wish it could talk. I ne...

EdinCT

If I recall yes it was made for Savage by Valmet. Sure looks nice.

EdinCT

Glad you are ok, its a real drag hitting one. We had one appear in the windshield last year at 65 MPH and I thought big deer coming in. The windshield caved in about 4 inches, we were covered with glass and there was deer waste all over the side of the car 3600 dollars damage. But the deer had run o...

I am pretty deaf and really miss a lot of what my grand children say. So I tried a walkers game ear in the left and plugged the right ear and it worked ok but direction was a issue. I thought I'd buy another walkers but lost the first by seasons end so that ended. Then I took a pair of my old hearin...

EdinCT

I have asked this before and never got an answer, but if bolt thrust is such a issue how come we can shoot these rounds in a Colt single action or Ruger's without set back locking up the action? Also if you read the history of the 1876 toggle link action the Northwest mounted police saw barrel burst...
