Yet another question: will I need to turn the necks if using 30-30 brass?

I currently don't have any neck turning tools...

I have similar thoughts. At this point in my life, I'm not sure I would want live with killing someone to protect myself. But to protect a loved one? No questions asked.

This will come to some as sacrilege and brand me an apostate and heretic, but I really struggle with this. The Boy Scout in me says "Be prepared," and being prepared to defend life from those who would wrongfully take it makes tremendous sense. There is a 12-gauge pump, loaded, in the clo...

Another question:

I was going to have a gunsmith in the next town over do the conversion as I don't have a barrel vice.

But looking at it I think I could sneak a reamer in the chamber without taking the barrel off.

Any chance I could do it myself?

Think I’m done with lead bullets with this revolver , the fouling on the crane inside the cylinder is excessive , and needs cleaning every outing. Maybe try coated cast if you're trying to keep costs down? I use coated hard casts from Missouri Bullet in all of my 357s including my SP101 and notice ...

I recently picked up a nice 1894 Winchester in 25-35 with the intention of converting it to Ackley Improved. My question is about brass. According to Ackley's book, post war 25-35 brass won't fire form without rupturing and 30-30 brass is recommended. Is this still the case or will new Hornady 25-35...

LGS got a couple. Ugly in my opinion.

Trigger not too bad.

Price is plenty high.

Can't say anything else about them.

I used to get bad leg cramps for as long as I can remember. Little over three years ago I greatly increased my red meat consumption to deal with some other health problems.

I haven't had a cramp in 3+ years now.

Picked up a rifle with nice looking wood stock. But the way the grain is, it feels like it's trying to rip the side of my face off with a day's growth of stubble. Fresh shaved or a 3 day beard and it doesn't bother.

Any suggestions for good product to seal up the wood grain?

8 years ago I sold my Winchester/Browning model 70 300 Win Mag BOSS to my youngest brother. Still kick myself to this day, but at least I can still shoot it.

Lesson learned. First and last firearm I have ever sold.

1886 Japchester in 45-90. There is nothing on this earth that a 405 grain bullet leaving the barrel at 2400 FPS won't kill. Including your shoulder.

Never taken a hog, but I suspect my 1895 in 30-06 would do well.

All you gain with loads over 1500fps in the 45-70 is a flatter trajectory and the abilty for tougher bullets to work properly but it comes at a pretty high price. I've gone from Keith style loads to much more moderate bp velocity loads. My most used for plinking and deer from my leverguns is 22gr o...

Redneck, I have shot one, I’m glad it didn’t have a true crescent butt plate :wink: it would make a nice light brush gun in bear country for sure! I’ve got an 1895 SBL in 45-70, but a light 92 would be easier to carry! Pfft. My Japchester 1886 in 45-90 pushing 405 grain hardcasts at 2400 FPS has so...

Limbsaver slip on and some light bruising if I shoot a bunch of them. Definitely a lot of wallop with the lever gun style stock compared to a bolt gun.

No comment on the ammo except to say 300gr 454 is a lot of power. Since the 454 topic is on the table, I have studied the ballistic tables and convinced myself there is no advantage with the 460.

There’s something almost magical with a big revolver bullet running around 1350 FPS, they just seem to kill better that what the written word suggests they should.
