NICE BUCK! Congrats on your first lever gun 'harvest'( have never liked that term). People are too magnum crazy- velocity crazy, what have you. Buddy of mine years ago shot a cow elk at about 175-200 with cast 40-65 hand load, went clean through and she dropped in less then 50 yards. Slow but deadly...

I too emailed Henry, asked about a 25-29/ 32-20 model. Mr Imperato did reply but not a yes or no answer... Maybe that will get him thinking.

GunnyMack

I would buy a Kimber, then either a Springfield or Ruger.

But I would suggest( as I do whenever someone asks me what to buy) have this fine young man go to an indoor range that rents guns, have him try as many 1911's as possible, then he can form his own opinion.

GunnyMack

You made a good choice. Many people hate Glocks, but many more love them. I bought my G23 back in '91. The finish has worn off, but still works flawlessly. I have shot mine underwater, no need for the striker spring cups to be changed. Feeds and cycles no problem. JUST DONT USE CAST OR HOLLOW POINTS...

Spider killing mice- time to load up some 44 shot shells!

There was an old timer round these parts that was half 'smith, half retailer, half gun dealer, he worked out of his house. His Desk was covered in gun parts, walls were covered in guns for sale/ repair and supplies, his kitchen was set up for reloading. He had a couple of shotgun presses bolted to t...

Order a new one, then take both to a local machine shop that has a hardness tester, compare both. Chances are the pawl is/was case hardened or surface hardened. You could hardest the new one by yourself. Brownells has a product called casenite. Only problem is how to hold it to bring it to red heat,...

I hope they weren't honey bees!?
Wasps,hornets, yellow jackets - blast em to kingdom come!

I once heard Glock had a Mod 19 that was test fired A LOT! Something like a 1000 a day, day in & day out for a long time, think the only thing they really had trouble with was extractors breaking.

I know my G23 has been through the wringer!

24 hours later and Claro is doing fine! I wonder how well the BugSalt will work on stink bugs ? My black lab ( Winnie, Claro's mom) like to eat the stink bug then she has to share by panting in your face! I don't mind dog breath but when ode de stink bug is mixed in YUCK! While I was living in CO, o...

GunnyMack

Could be just a simple matter of wrong/ odd angles on lifter. Could replace the fussy lifter and have your smith shape and polish it the same as your cowboy gun. My Henry isn't fond of slow in vertical but works fine slow at horizontal. Don't have a lot of ammo thru it yet so still feeling it out th...

With 3 labradors I really don't want skunks hanging around. I had a Jack Russell years ago that would kill skunks, 3 confirmed and he never got sprayed. He would hunt anything on 4 legs! Cats were not safe, ground hogs, squirrels, chipmunks opossum... You get the idea. One day this little 15 lbs ter...

My dad has a sign on his desk, he just celebrated his 84th! The sign says ' a clean desk is the sign of a sick mind' I like the compact idea, but my thought for a loading station has always been a U shape. That way you can spread out left and right by only a swivel chair. My set up now is just some ...

She seems to be doing fine!
Living in the woods, we get lots of bugs, I don't mind spiders but they need to stay outside!

I'll pick up some of those Terro traps!

I saw on TV the aSALT shooter, uses table salt and air/spring pressure but have no idea where or if they are still sold.

Here is Claro, normally...

Last night around midnight my Chocolate lab, Claro, started acting frantic. She was 'itchy' and her face was swollen, eyes almost closed up, muzzle looked like a she went a few rounds with Mike Tyson! I should have taken pictures... Off we go to emergency vet, they administered Benadryl but that was...

GunnyMack

Finally spoke to a guy at Nosler! He says their 210 will be good at 1800! They test/ have data for 1600 from pistol barrels. I mentioned I was using a Henry in 41, he had no idea such an animal was on the market. Seems he is a 41 fan as well, has been trying to get his hands on a Marlin but the auct...

GunnyMack

The 265 was developed for the 444, lots of people had that happen! My concern was exactly what you say, pistol bullets at rifle velocities. That's why I emailed Hornady and Sierra. Couldn't find an email address for Nosler. I keep forgetting to call Nosler. All 3 brands shoot very well, so my pick i...

GunnyMack

So I emailed Hornady back to question their answer for XTP velocity range. They say 1000-1400 FPS. My load is 1800 from the Henry. They tell me I'm pushing them well past what it is designed for. So I guess I better not shoot a deer that is under my stand or out to 75 yards or so! But on second thou...

Just looked at Gun parts website, I know the H.S. Flute King, have one in 410, they list parts, no barrels.

I'd still consider choke tubes or find the missing parts to complete existing comp

GunnyMack

Amen to that brother!!

I have been stocking for years, but I've been loading it as I go.

GunnyMack

Although I have never installed. Cutts, I have done screw in choke tubes. But that depends on wall thickness. Gotta have enough for threads to be cut. Colonial choke used to make a thin wall tube, not sure if they are still on the market. If it was me, I'd put tubes in (if walls are thick enough), m...

GunnyMack

6pt- you are better stocked then I am!

I have only used an XTP to take 1 animal, a big hog. I used my ruger .44 carbine and a 300 grainer. The shot was about 15-20 yards, it went in 44 came out about 1" pig walked about 10 yards and fell over. Double lung/ top of heart. I don't know what the velocity of that load was but I have alwa...

GunnyMack

After gaining chronograph data for my 41 mag load I contacted Seirra and Hornady. My load shows 1800+ FPS with 210 gr bullets. I was curious about velocity ranges that the Seirra Sportsmaster, Hornady XTP were designed for. Seirra says 1800- sure no problem, should do fine for deer. Hornady replies-...

GunnyMack

I don't have EXACT numbers, but from what I have heard, the first 3 days of the season( archery only) produced about 200 bears! Haven't heard about total for the six day season. We had a bear with a birth defect, causing it to only walk on hind legs, of course the media named it Peddels, well seems ...

GunnyMack

I loaded up Berry plated for sighting in, figured why waste good jacketed stuff... NOW I know better!!! Just glad I only bought a 100, I'll burn the rest of them through my Blackhawk. What really impressed me was the 500+ FPS gains with Lilgun over the 20" barrel length. I know you gain with a ...

I tried Benchmark in 308 and 223, was not all that pleased with it. I found IMR 4895 was great in 223, yeah it's a pain in powder thrower but very accurate in my gun. CFE 223 was good too. Varget was poor results, just as soon pour it out and throw a match to it then developed loads for my other gun...

When 'her' husband was in office, any time she was getting on either Marine 1( helocopter) or Air Force 1 with out him the call sign was changed to BROOM STICK 1! She was probably the most hated of all first "ladies" . Have heard she is also the most foul mouthed berating all that were und...

This past Sunday morning I was up early enough to catch the Henry infomercial. As they were showing off the different models I thought to myself ' I wonder if they will put Dpris's torture test results on their website, or on the next infomercial. '

GunnyMack

I made the mistake of shooting plated bullets and that caused serious copper fouling.
After many hours scrubbing it has started to behave. Not only fouling minimized but groups shrank dramatically.

GunnyMack

Have slowly been reloading a bunch of military brass for use in my Armalite AR10. Picked up Winchester 150 FMJs to load. Finally settled on CFE223. Holds 5 shots under an inch @100. My 450 amazes me at how accurate that round is. Have tried IMR4227,Lil Gun, 5744, H110 and all shoot very close to the...

Long time ago we were in Quebec on a fishing trip, one of my buddies was portaging a canoe wham he stepped over a blow down ON to a sleeping bear. He went one way, the bear another way and the canoe went a third way!

GunnyMack

Hornady 8th edition has Lil Gun at 22.2 max for 1300 FPS from a 6" revolver, Henry 20" has added 500 FPS!!
CFE PISTOL loads are right at published vels for pistol length barrels- NO GAIN for lengths!!!

Looking at the book load for H110, I might be able to get 2000!!!

Lots more Trump signs then HRC ( I can't type out that name) around here. Although I enjoy seeing the signs that say

Just back from the farm, took my Henry 41 to test velocities with a few different powders. Best vels were from Lil Gun. Lil Gun, 22 grains 210 gr JHP 1821 FPS average. Not quite to MAX charge. H110, 20 grains 210 gr JHP 1574 FPS average. 5744, 19.1 grains 210 JHP 1250 FPS average. Some unburned stic...

We can bait them, but we can't be any closer than 100 yards to the bait... This was our very first 'early' season, normally the season is first week on December. Now I'm not a biologist but I know that December is NOT the best time to bear hunt! From what I saw in the paper, the first 3 days of the ...

GunnyMack

So NJ finally gave us a 'better' bear season.the normal season is first week of December. We have had the past 5 days to either bow hunt( M,T,W) or bow/ muzzle loader (TH,F,S). I haven't been able to get out. I'm hoping to get in a tree and try to at least see how my luck goes. Taking my predator ca...

Being on the east coast, is that the remains of a cyclone( our hurricane?) I'm not an old timer nor young of the year, worst storm I can remember was Sandy.

Cutting it down to what is the question! If you cut off just the choke section then you'll have a cyclinder bore 410. I have a 410 with a skeet choke, works fine for sporting, birds, slugs. Actually before non toxic shot was the law I shot many ducks with 3"#5's. A 410 will act like any other s...

Latest issue of GUNS has a write up on that, haven't read it yet- HOLY COW, $1800 MSRP!!

I got a used RWS MOD 45 years ago, guys kid tried to cock it, couldn't quite get it there and let go! That put enough bend in the barrel that you could see it bending upward. Sucker still shot tiny little groups tho! While I was in gummsmiff skool, I mentioned it to an instructor, he said bring it i...

Failure to extract... I'm betting it's just so dirty that the extractor can't grab the rim. But still 21,000 rounds is nothing st sneeze at!

NICE GROUPS! Many people have no idea how well a .22 can shoot at distance. While I lived in Colorado, 6200' elevation, my buddies and I sighted our .22's in at 100, shot them well past 200 on the prairie dog towns. Gave our CF's time to cool and it was a whole lot of fun, can watch your impacts and...
