Re: I'm an idiot

Welcome to the club! Reloaded 45 colt to TC contender/ Ruger levels to shoot in my Interarms 1892, bit of confusion on my part, at any rate they were way to hot. Went back to the manual only to see that I'd missed the 45 colt rifle section which was my original intended loads :? .

Re: What was the first gun you bought?

The rather small and hard butt on the No 5 doesn't help matters. Every one will hear you shooting too. It's not as much as the 45-70 loaded to lever gun specs but it will have people looking at you at the range.

Re: Any love for the Browning BLR?

The early BLR magazines , pre 81 models , are hard to come by (hence expensive if you do ). I don't think that is a problem with later ones.IMO the long actions one are bulky defeating the purpose. Love mine in .308 but it does kind of puts a crimp in needs department for another rifle.
