I'll probably go after Whitetail this year with my Winchester 92 in 44 Magnum. My load will most likely be 22.0 W296 under a Ranch Dog 432-265-RF.

LeverGunner

What is the twist for a 22 Short and or Long chambered gun?

I'm a big Case XX fan. I've carried this 65 pattern Folding Hunter for a couple of years now. I do switch out my belt knife for others, but I keep coming back. https://i.postimg.cc/W140V9KM/929-E365-A-A2-E9-4132-85-EC-F1-FC20-CCB5-E4.jpg This I think is the most recent picture of my Blackhawk.

The other day I got all of Missouri Bullet Company's bullets to catalog. I'd talked to them a year ago before I had the site up, and they were excited about the idea then. Now that I'm up and going, they are glad to help. I was told they get a lot requests for measurements that I will provide. https...

LeverGunner

Nice find, congratulations.

LeverGunner

Well that's a new one, cool, I guess.

LeverGunner

Good night that's "not aesthetically pleasing"!

LeverGunner

I think it will be a good thing, though I wish they didn't have a monopoly on powder. I like that they have a Christian mission statement on their website, https://hodgdonpowderco.com/hodgdon/ Hodgdon Powder Company operates following Biblical principles to honor God. Our mission is to provide quali...

No. I won't. I have the one I bought when we had these made. We shoot it regularly. I had a set of hand-carved ivories put on it. Paul Persinger made them.

Very nice, thank you for sharing.

Thank you for sharing that story Jim. Do you think you'll fire it?

LeverGunner

Thank you very much for sharing those articles about your guns. That Winchester 50-100-450 is spectacular. I've never seen such closeup photos of the barrel matting with markings, thank you for sharing it with us.

LeverGunner

That's awesome. I didn't know such a critter existed, thank you for sharing. I'm not familiar with Tom Ruger or the Shootist group.

What would it's approximate value be vs the standard stainless Single Six Bisley?

LeverGunner

Colt and a Remington. That old Remington is great. I've been looking for one for a few years now. Thank you for sharing. Thank you! That Remington was my grandfather's field knife while he was a Maine game warden in the Allagash. This was prior to and during WW2. He didn't carry the SAA. He had a C...

Very nice. I didn't know that the 99 was ever offered with a saddle ring.

Thank you for sharing. I had saw mention made yesterday of T/C being sold. Interesting that Gregg Ritz owned it previously.

I have a friend that kayaks on some of the rivers around, and he met some chaps from London. They were all in their 20's and 30's. He said they had never held a gun or fired a gun, and were all super excited when he offered. Not the "guns are scary" attitude at all. They didn't have much t...

I don't know for sure, but I believe that all Winchesters made by Miroku have them, and all Brownings made by Miroku do not. Based on the ones I've owned that's not 100% true. All my Brownings are, indeed, safety-free. I have an 1866 and a 1873, made by Miroku and branded Winchester that have no sa...

Screenshot_20240428_094232_Photos.jpg That's a perfect packing combo right there. How do you like that Buck 113 Cabelas Guide? I saw the Guide series up there some years back and didn't pull the trigger on one, mostly because I didn't care for the Cabelas logo on the blade. But I am a Buck fan, and...

I think we'd all agree!

I concur.

I did a search and didn't find any current gun and knife picture threads. I do take a few combo pics from time to time, so I'll get us started.

Wow that is awesome, thank you for sharing. I've been researching the 50-110 and 50-100-450 Winchesters; A friend is purchasing a newly made one, and as a result, I'm reading everything I can on the subject to help him with his reloading. That's not even counting my own interest in all things Winche...

LeverGunner

Nice, congratulations. It'll be interesting to see it with the receiver "toned down" as you put it.

LeverGunner

I like westerns; Lonesome Dove, El Dorado, Conagher, Dances With Wolves, The Shootist, The Cowboys, The Outlaw Josey Wales, The Good The Bad & The Ugly, Silverado, Crossfire Trail.

Conagher is my favorite. A story about a boy and his Winchester.

LeverGunner

It won't be nearly as easy as getting sample bullets that's for sure. I will sell most of the moulds when I'm done, but I haven't decided how many bullets I want to keep from each mould. I'm considering casting a supply from each in case I get a gun and later want to try that bullet. That'll cut int...

I don't know for sure, but I believe that all Winchesters made by Miroku have them, and all Brownings made by Miroku do not.

I mentioned BulletMatch in my Howdy (introductory) thread, but I thought maybe folks would like to see some of what's going on with it. There has been some exciting developments lately. One of those things; I was blessed to be able to acquire all of Lee Precisions moulds for which I didn't have samp...

LeverGunner

Thanks all for the comments. I want to do a test whereby I track the accuracy of 3-5 cases over their life span. So it'd be the same test, but with a group accompanying each firing. And potentially with different brands. Though, that could get time consuming and costly. I'll probably start with just...

Here is a test I did a couple of years back, and have shared it on a couple of forums and on my blog site ( LeverGunner ), that I thought everyone here would find interesting. Sometime back, I posed the question “How many loadings to expect on full length sized 30-30 brass?” The responses I received...

Welp, ya'll opened the can of worms, might as well fish. Here's my Winchester 94 in 30-30. It was made in 71 I think. I previously had thought 70, but new serial number searches conclude otherwise. I've fired about 800 rounds the last 8 years according to my empty powder cans, but most of that was i...

LeverGunner

Howdy Chaser, sounds like you have some interesting interests. I'm a cartridge and bullet collector. Something about old cartridges has always stirred me, and then I got into casting my own bullets and that became a whole other hobby; Then I started cataloging them, and man... it seems like all I ev...

I wasn't aware that you could get any of the old style bb/cb caps still. Cool, I'll definitely have to source some.

It does look quite good. I think my favorite comfort food is beef roast, potatoes, carrots, and corn nibblers, with white bread muffins. I cook the roast and vegetables in the crockpot, salt and pepper on the meat, but other wise bland. I like salt on my food when it's served. For a snack I like old...

It's news to me, I didn't know anyone had started up primer manufacture. Thanks for sharing.

Since I'm new... I ain't seen her before. Got any pictures handy?

That is quite nice. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for sharing, I failed to notice the pad on the sling. I've carried that way occasional, experimenting.

I tried to get my buddy to use the name MrScatterBlaster on a forum, and he wouldn't do it for some reason.

LeverGunner

How do you like that forward mount on the Winchester 94? I have a replacement rear band with a stud and I like that pretty good.

LeverGunner

Thanks for sharing those extra pics. Man that's something. I'd like to have one in 41 special, or a a Blackhawk conversion. I guess I find the cartridge more intriguing. Certainly some awesome skill involved, pretty cool.

LeverGunner

Glad you made it through okay.

LeverGunner

That's a fine piece of iron right there, thank you for sharing. It appears that there is a hole in the loading gate due to machining? Any chance I could get a picture of what that looks like? Be interesting to see the guns from the outside looking in.

LeverGunner

I have a system, and I pretty much know where everything is. It might not be exactly pretty, but, my system works for me.

Howdy from Kentucky. Nice ones you have there. Congratulations on your baby! I just one myself.
