The CoreLokt is one of those designs that was done right from the outset. It's been around since 1939, and is still a premier bullet for game. I don't know how you'd go wrong choosing it. The late Jeff Cooper was impressed with it. I know not of LeverEvolution, 'cuz I haven't used any yet. But in my...

My grandmother was buried atop her husband, who passed away almost 50 year earlier. This was in New Jersey. I'm thinking that you'd need to talk to the cemetery curators, (or whatever they're called!) and see how you might be able to proceed. -Stretch

My sister bought me a La Creuset Dutch Oven 6 or 8 years ago. I think it's the most-used pot in the kitchen. You can do anything with it. The enamel is terrific. We also have a Chinese enamelled roasting pan. The Chinese enamel is NOWHERE near as sturdy or well-done. Thicker, but more fragile. Unles...

Cold and snow is the way to go. You'll learn that the worst thing is a warm winter. Snow then rain turns to ice you can't get cleaned off roofs or driveways. Wet, heavy snow is hard to move and packs like cement. Nope, give me a real winter every time. Oh, yeah. I still remember the Ice Storm of '9...

The Mid-Coast of Maine is definitely a lovely place.

Housing prices are a bit spendy.

Bath Iron Works has been on a hiring binge lately, so there are some
good jobs in the area.

3-4 hours to Cape Cod depending on traffic.

I was just reported to DHHS for emotional child abuse for: Taking away my kid's cell phone! :shock: Why?

I was impressed with his movement, too.

Really impressed with the fact that he was able to keep up that movement
throughout 12 rounds of a championship fight. He's a talented boxer, fought
intelligently, and is in terrific condition.

Let's hope the quality doesn't go completely down the tubes. Losing workers means losing institutional knowledge. That means a lot to the guys on the factory floor; upper management could care less. Lawmakers seem to be largely idiots - there are exceptions. -Stretch

Lee lists 27.2 to 28.0 gr. of H110 Max giving 1500fps or so in 45 Colt for the 240gr. jacketed bullet - but only for Ruger and T/C in handguns. I guess you could go a wee bit higher still, and see if accuracy improves. What kinda critter are you planning to slay with that round?! Seems like it would...

I was late to the shooting game. My mother didn't want guns in the house, and I grew up in suburbia with no real place to shoot, so that was that. I bought a Makarov and Marlin 336 in 35 Remington the same day. I was in my 30s. (Odd combination, I know.......) -Stretch

I tend to agree with you, Jim. All of the successful modern designs seem to be descendants of those 3. The Ruger single action is a lttle bit different in that it has a bolt instead of a slide. Might be an exception there. I'm fond of the HiPower, too; but it's DNA is unquestionably related to that ...

It can be made to penetrate like nobody's business with a hard cast 180 gr WFN, but I do not think it is as effective on game as a heavy loaded .44 Special. That might be the only disadvantage of the 357 compared to the 44 - the 44 mag makes a bigger hole. 'Course, it needs more power to make that ...

stretch

The 357 just might be my favorite chambering in a handgun. 357 revolvers can handle anything from a mild 38 Special load to a VERY stout hunting load. They're also easier to carry than say, a Redhawk. The same can be said for the 44 Magnum revolver - it can use a mild 44 Special load up to loadings ...

What AmbraCol said. The Simply Rugged Pancakes work very well indeed, especially for short-barrelled guns. I have a Rossi 357 in one of their holsters and I have forgotten I'm wearing it before. Same with the rig I have for a Model 10 - which happens to fit the S&W 357s just fine, too. I've also...

With all these powder recommendations, am I behind the times using 2400 in my 44 ??? Not in my eyes...... You might not get the absolute highest velocity with 2400 as opposed to one of the flavors of 110, but if you have an accurate load that's powerful enough, there's no reason not to stay with it...

stretch

Oh, yeah!

50 yards that's minute of woodchuck for sure.

(And nice shootin', by the wy....)

What're estimating for velocity - 1800fps or so?

Plenty for deer, probably black bear, and probably even
moose or elk at closer ranges.

I need to know if less than .002 neck tension is ok to shoot in a lever gun. I want to try .001.

Why?

What's the problem you're trying to solve?

Mostly I carry a Rossi 357 with full-house 357 loads. (14gr. 2400 pushing a 158gr. JHP.) It resides in a Simply Rugged Pancake holster. I can wear this rig all day, and it's comfortable enough that I sometimes forget that I'm wearing it. Sometimes I carry Hi-Power, a Beretta 92, or a Model 10. But m...

Your list - you get to choose!

In some ways it's superior to the 1911 - field stripping, for instance.
And the magazine capacity is greater.
On the other hand, the 9mm doesn't make as big a hole as the 45.

When I was in college, the only corkscrew I owned was in a Swiss Army knife. I got that knife when I was 8 years old. My late Dad took me to NYC. I got a bll glove, a Swiss Army knife, and lunch at the Empire State Building. Still have the knife. :) -Stretch

I had a bunch of trees dropped last year. Stuff that was too close to the house, etc.
