Re: I wonder if THIS 10mm '1911' will last...?
I didn't find it on their website, but Coonan emailed they are taking names for their 10mm. Specifically designed for the 10mm, not just a rechambered 45.

Re: Elk with 45 Colt rifle?
That bullet (or boolit) should penetrate deep, and it won't have the velocity of other rounds. So accuracy is the main thing.
If I remember, 45Stomp posted pics some years back. He collected some big critters with a 45Colt Lever. I've probably missed other posts, but still remember his.

And Selleck made some great Westerns,I'd like more. Now I feel the need to wipe down a Lever.

A friend on another forum mentioned one of these selling before he could get it some years ago. I don't really follow 99s but recognize they're special. And the 38-55/375win speaks for themselves. I don't remember hearing much about the 99/38-55; anyone here have anything they can share about it?
