Had one years ago, chamber was HUGE, brass looked a coke bottle after fired. But it was a pretty accurate lil thing.

veeman

My method it to try multiple bullets with multiple powders to see what your rifle likes.

veeman

I'm looking for a receiver mounter peep for my Browning 86, (not the bolt mounted one) I called and was told they are no longer being made. I really like the one on my rifle, had the SRC drilled and tapped for one also. Too late. If anyone has one they don't want anymore.

veeman

Be safe, not sorry. Use a different bullet. That, or set your bullet deeper with a Lee FCD.

veeman

I honestly haven't looked on store shelves for years as I'm a reloader, just don't need to look. I got 2 deer in 2 days with my Winchester Chief Crazy Horse 94 using 255g Barnes bullet over 18.0g of 2400. Worked like a charm.

Yes! I had left the 94 in the blind overnight (locked up). Had i taken it home I would have taken the 45-60 out for the buck. Next season for sure, I may buy another tag for next week.

veeman

I'm in Stephenson county, just south of Freeport, which borders Wisconsin, NW part of the state. My load it 18.0 of 2400 with a Barnes 255g .377 bullet.

I'm sure he know what to look for as it's the law here. Today the Same rifle made more meat as the good Lord brought me a nice 8 pointer. 88 yard shot. https://scontent-ord5-3.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.30808-6/587951046_10229610317991751_1337038130771361970_n.jpg?_nc_cat=109&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=833d8c&...

Winchester 94 Chief Crazy Horse 38/55 did the job today, 30 yard shot. Here in Illinois we can use rifles now as long as it's a single shot. I made it so by putting a wooden dowel in the mag tube. Think I'll do it again tomorrow! https://scontent-ord5-3.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.30808-6/586248800_102296028...

veeman

Today would be 44-40, 45-60 and 38-55.

veeman

File the sight, not the gun. Once the metal is gone, it's gone, and you can't put it back.

veeman

Gibson and Marshall, nothin better.

veeman

My one and only 9mm in a Ruger 1911 SR9, light weight, shoots everything it gets fed, has never failed, not once. Best Ruger I've ever had. It's also very accurate. Safe to say it's my favorite 1911 after my old Colt 1991A1. https://uniim1.shutterfly.com/render/00-Dhr2tlvawMSNFX4TrMAMCKr_1AnQ3pv5Eb7...

Shipped is when there is a date of delivery.

veeman

Jeez, mine says since 2007!

veeman

Nicely done!

Nice pictures, the bottom one is mine, showing the difference between the regular chamber and the so called Uberti chamber.

veeman

The thing wrong with 45Colt in a Winchester 92 is that it never was, and shouldn't be. My opinion of course. And Modeling a JW Carbine with a 20" barrel is just a regular ol carbine with a big loop. I love JW, but if your going to model a carbine after his, do it right, like the real one.

veeman

Just reading the fine print scares me off

veeman

I've read is a couple places that Buffalo Rifle is discontinued, but I don't know for sure. Haven't seen it advertised for quite some time. Shame, I really like it, use it alot.

veeman

I bought a NIB Buffalo Bill Rifle from my cousin who had it for 40+ years in his safe. He got it from his FIL who owned a Gambles store back in the 60's-early 70's and it never sold. I had tried to buy it for years, and/or get him to take it out shooting, but he said it would ruin the collector valu...

I've left places for lack of a waiter. Waiting more that 20 minutes for a waiter in unacceptable.

In the magazine and something in the mail, didn't make it past the trash can.

Get yourself a shotgun converted leather butt cover. Adds an inch of LOP (which I needed anyway) and makes shooting much more comfortable. https://gunstockcover.com/ My Browning 1886's https://uniim1.shutterfly.com/render/00-Dhr2tlvawMSNFX4TrMAMCKr_1AnQ3pv5Eb7vbRPURMq67pPLNY9a90Z0nCSXXubCUnDnu4gHHWp...

So I gather that these loads should NOT be used in a Colt? Asking for a friend!

veeman

I love reading Snooky's book, he would have made a great gun writer. Thing I notice about his loads is that they are usually on the hot side. I don't see a need to have a load so hot as to go through a moose and several tree's behind it, that is just too punishing on the shoulder and the energy is g...

Congratulations!! Fine looking stags on your Blackhawk too!

Sweet! Love my 76's. T-B 50-95, 45-60, 45-75

veeman

I've never even tried to figger what reloading costs or if it saves money. I do it because I enjoy doing it, it's my hobby. That and the shooting. I probably have over 50 different boxes of test loads in over a dozen calibers in my cabinet, with matching targets made up for each load. No doubt I spe...

Both of my 1886's are the Browning version from the 80's.

Yes, I know. Still, Universal is no more.

Thank you! I love stags.

Got my order delivered yesterday, 1/26.

The 76 receiver is not long enough for the 45/70, so they simply shortened it to a bottle neck round. Bullets much heavier than 375 grains don't stabilize well and will keyhole. A 45/75 with a full case of FF Black Powder is nothing to sneeze at to be sure. It will kill anything on this continent ju...

veeman

Veeman, I have one of those Chief Crazy Horse Rifles, that I purchased back a 2003 and have never worked up a cast load for it. I tried the Cast Performance.378 with fair accuracy using Blue Dot back then and it had been in the safe ever since. Would you mind sharing what you use? Thanks, JBowen Wh...

veeman

I have 2, an 1897 made SRC that was rebarreled way back, and a Chief Crazy Horse that I shoot regularly. https://uniim1.shutterfly.com/render/00-Dhr2tlvawMSNFX4TrMAMCKr_1AnQ3pv5Eb7vbRPURMru3vVS7cQGofGeLlpjtQcO?cn=THISLIFE&res=medium&ts=1558964746 https://uniim1.shutterfly.com/render/00-Dhr2t...

veeman

I second that!

veeman

Just a little.

veeman

Pick one.

veeman

When I 1st started out in CAS, I used GD in 44-40. Got quite a few comments on how I was hitting the targets a bit too hard. I don't recall what the load was but it was accurate.

veeman

I'd like to see what it would do at 100 yards, not 10. That would be more realistic, hunting wise.

veeman

I shoot 350 grain bullets in both my 50/95 and 45/75, Barnes in the .50 and Berry's in the .45. If it could take a griz in the 1800's, it can do it now. Bears aren't any tougher. I cast bullets for both and are the main bullets for both. Even the 45/60 like the 350 grainers.

veeman

I've always preferred the 5.5", but my "Super 41" is a joy to shoot. My only shorty. https://uniim1.shutterfly.com/render/00-Dhr2tlvawMSNFX4TrMAMCKr_1AnQ3pv5Eb7vbRPURMpR7TUC4G6YcSexuXfzhDki?cn=THISLIFE&res=medium&ts=1576370393 https://uniim1.shutterfly.com/render/00-Dhr2tlvawM...
