I have taken two Coyotes with my Marlin 1895 in 45-70. I used a RD 460-350 gr RF cast bullets on both of them. I want a good hit to be fatal with these critters. So this is one of my ideal rifles and cartridges for 'yote hunting. I know this cartridge and rifle can be used for elk, bear and whatever...

In the movies Resident Evil - Extinction, the character Claire Redfield, was loading a lever gun with bullets that look like 45 ACPs.

What lever gun is this?

Jerry

Pewter, one formula is 90% tin, 10% copper. Nearly armor piercing in hardness.

I use Barnes and other solids for hunting, so the meat stays intact.

Jerry

That was a good one, we actually do have a few natural gas pipeline folks that are doing snopping with out talking to the land owners. Hopefully one will find the bull in teh field and that the bull probably will out run him.

Jerry

I used 38.5 grains of 748 in my 35 Remington reloadings with Hornady 200gr bullets, Acts like factory ammo.

Jerry

I have a Marlin 1895 in 45-70, wonderful deer and coyote rifle, plus I shoot the RD 350 gr bullet and it shoots well.

If you need it, then it's not for fun!

Gun Control is Hitting the Target. The second amendment is so we can protect our freedoms from an oppressive government. I own both hunting rifles and what is termed assault rifles. I keep going to Camp Perry shooting those assault rifle trying to put a hole through a piece of paper. When I was in h...

The best tactical knife I have ever seen is made in another country, Canada, made by Greg Lightfoot. I am a past member of that guild and the local guild, the best knife I carry I made, the best knife that I hunt with, I made. My stainless steel comes from Japan, my damacus (pattern weld) comes from...

Andrew,

I have a 1895 in 45-70 and another 336 in 35 Remington. I may look into the 444 Marlin cartridge, I can get a Contender in that caliber and JD Jones lives up the road from me. So think of the combinations.

Jerry

I picked up a Marlin 336 today in 30/30. Price was right and I have a Contender in 30/30 as a companion.

This will probably be my Rifle foe a while, need to sell some things adn get some ammo loaded.

Jerry

I picked up a used 336 in 30/30 today. I think this is a 1988 manufacture.

Don't know if I got him, but my local Coyote took three rounds in his direction, about 30 minutes ago. Haven't heard a peep since.

Tomorrow morning I will see if I nailed him, if so, pictures will be posted.

Jerry

This is a brand new one from the factory. My eyes are suffering some from old age, so scopes are becoming common place for me.

I would try a Tang site, but I would end up back with the scope.

Anyone have any brass to spare?

Jerry

I picked up a Marlin 336 today in 35 Remington. Had it scoped while I was there. I have a two molds that are appropriate for this rifle, I think. RCBS 357 180gr Silhouette and a Lyman 357 214gr SWC. I am looking for suggestions on other oolits to cast and shoot in fine rifle. Plus I am looking for b...

I own a 600 Nitro Express double rifle. It is a bone breaker to shoot. If I shoot a Ground Hog with it, the hog will be swept away or at least the red cloud of goo, in to the next county. I just picked up a Remington 700 C in 300 Reminton Ultra Mag. I bought this rifle for elk hunting a fair range, ...

Really Nice looking and a big cartridge to boot.

Great goings,

Jerry

I have a Dillon powder measure left over from when Dillon went from the push type to the automatic ones. I have a PACT electronic thrower and scales that work together for my picky loads.

My Bug Out guns are a AR15 HBAR NM, My 1895 in 45-70 and my HiPower.

With a butt pack, I can carry enough ammo to stay fed and safe. I survived 8 years of the Army, they gave me knowledge which is the best bug weapon.

Jerry

Ted, My Lee moulds have lasted over 10 years now, with a lot of use during the spring and the summer getting ready for fall and winter seasons. Plus Lee has many customers that are custom design resellers. I just bought a couple. So if they break, warp or what ever, I am not out that much with the L...

I have stock piled reloading supplies on and off over the years. I have probably 50 pounds of USAF spec solder out in the shop. maybe a 1000 pounds of range lead, 250 pounds of WWs and 20 pounds of pure tin. Around reloading area, I have an old frig that doesn't work anymore, that is where I store m...

I have a wide variety of molds, from all manufactures, some are semicustom and other are just hard to find. Recently, I got a couple of Ranch Dog moulds, which are custom design but made by Lee. One mould is for my 45-70 and the other is for my 44 Mag Super 14 Contender. The size and shape depends o...

It took me about 10 seconds to realize that alever gun was the way to go. Now I am looking for a Savage 99 in 308.

Can get enough of them.

Jerry

Those Green Beanies, they never could carry enough fire power for the job.

For cartridges, I roll crimp, while others I taper crimp. Generally cartridgse that are straight walled, I taper crimp, but things like 44 mag, 357, etc, I roll crimp them. Except for my compition shooting with my M1A Super Match or my AR 15 HBAR NM, I roll crimp. The match rifles I taper/profile cr...

Never been lost, but have taken some detours while looking for guns and other things.

Jerry

I live 20 miles beyond BFE Ohio, and have a Coyote problem. If I use my lever gun, it will be a scope 45-70 rifle.

Normally I use my M1A rifle with a 169gr Sierra BTHP and take them out.

But I want to try my hand with cast bullets and my Marlin 1895 for these 'yotes.

Jerry

Could Paco or some one please post pictures of the FreeChec maker and any specs concerning it. I would like to make one for myself. I do own a machine shop, so making one for myself won't be too complicated. I do not want to go in to business making these, but if Paco wants to form an alliance or a ...

I am on my third digital camera, the first two died under the extended warranty that I purchased, so I got new ones.

Of course when a digital camera dies, you have to put it out of its misery.

With my S & W pistols, Smith has repaired them for free when I had a problem. Currently I have a 586 .357mag and a 340 PD in 357 mag. I did have a Model 39, orginial series and it was well loved and lived a long life with, I develop a crack in some part. Had it sent off to Smith and it came back...

How many of you ground hog with a 45-70? I was think of using a casting 310 gr bullet. I want to test this load out and then maybe take it deer hunting next season.

My Marlin 1895 is scopes, with a Bushnell 2 to 7 power.

Any one out there have good results with this weight of bullet?

Jerry

I was wondering if there are any recent, like the last 50 years, lever action 12 gauge shotguns being made or have been made out there.

Jerry

I agree with the possibility of contaminated primers, I don't use aerosols around my reloading because of fears of such things happening.
