Nath - good show!

me too.

Killer;
This was discussed at length on one of my posts on the old forum and I read a thorough .405 article recently that considered the 30-40 as perfect for conversion to a few rimmed cartridges. Here is the link:

The 2008 Shooters Guide came in the mail today and it has reports on all types of guns, ammo, and accessories. The Ammo article includes a Winchester section that reports on their new Tedddy Roosevelt line of cartridges, one of which is the .405 Winchester with a 300 grain flat point bullet. No othe...

crs

It appears that no one has tried this new ammo.
Maybe Paco or Gunblast can try it and then write an article about it.

crs

How sad for the UK.

crs

The new Cabelas 2008 Shooting and reloading catalog has both .357 and .44 Magnum LEVERevolution ammo for sale .
Has anyone tried either one in a revolver or rifle?

crs

This was well known before the days of polictical correctness, but is swept under the rug now a days.

crs

86er;
I sent Sterling an email with a link to this post of yours. I agree with you that the best way to convince him NOT to buy a WWG 50 AK is to let him shoot one!
BTW, hope your head recovers before you begin your move to Texas.

crs

Ravenman; Sorry the 1895 .405 is not readily available there in Switzerland, however there were some very nice .405 double guns made in Belgium some years ago. I saw two of them at the Tulsa gunshow 18 months or so back. Both were well made and handled like 28 ga shotguns - nice! Pete 44: Very nice ...

crs

Nath; The rifle comes up very well, but I am not yet accustomed to the receiver peep sight. I will let you know more after I shoot it some. Mod71Alaska: Good idea, I will do that with a seperate post, as I need a good shot of the elk on the left side of the reciver. Pets44; Agreed, the new Cabelas s...

crs

Lever luver;
mmm, good idea - cast bullets should make practice less costly.

NOTE - Pics added to original message.

crs

Griff - Monday looks OK now, but lets check the weather so we do not freeze our ba## off. Also, you can blast a few .405s anif I can blast a few through your Sharps. I will also bring my 1886 to finish adjusting the barrel sight. 86er; Still room in the second safe(the one that you did not see) and ...

crs

Victor;
Good to hear from you, but I do not need another .22. It is likely that someone does need it though.

PS beautiful .22. How do you take such great gun photos?

crs

Ah-ha! I just located and downloaded the 1895 Takedown manual!
More tomorrow with pics!

crs

Nath; I have shot a friends 1895 .405 without a recoil pad from the bench with hot 300 handloads at about 2250 -2300 fps and with a shoulder recoil pad it was no problem. Shooting in the field wearing a light jacket, the shooter should not feel a thing - much like a 12 ga shotgun. In fact, my 12 ga ...

crs

The rifle, 5 boxes of Hornady 300 gr JFP ammo, and reloading dies arrived today and all things are as represented by the seller. The rifle looks NIB except for the Limb Saver recoil pad and Williams receiver sight. It is a Beauty and ready to go hunting! I will add Pics tomorrow, and I am really eag...

I seem to remember an article (in African Hunter, maybe) about a guy that made a .375 Win double rifle from a european over under double shotgun. It was very detailed and explained the regulation and such. He then took it to African and shot some critters with it.
Want me to try to locate that one?

crs

Beautiful rifle.

crs

Love those SxS shotguns.

crs

Very nice collection and photos!

crs

I think that he was morally bankrupt when he persecuted(not a spelling error) those Duke students.

crs

All this pig hunting talk reminds me a promise I made last month to an old friend to come shoot pigs with him. I guess I will have to take him up on his request that I come over to his place SE of Dallas and help eradicate some of his feral hogs. He has so many that he has been having to shoot them ...

crs

Same as Old Savage, the 300 grain should do the job.
I have used the factory Winchester Partition Gold (Nosler flat point partition) at about 1850 fps. A recent article showed that the new Federal and Winchester PG 300 gr performed comparably on accuracy, penetration and expansion tests.

crs

OK here is a blackbuck! Nice one too.

Blue hat is 86er and tan hat with pipsqueak rifle is crs.

crs

86er;
Talked to Sterling recently and he said that he has his bear hunt deposit for you. Is he already on the list of hunters?

crs

Ricky; OK, Feb 15 is a Friday and that sounds good to me. I will get with Joe and work out the best way to get the blackbuck mount to you and then send you a private message with those details and the address of our place in Farmersville. That way we can meet at the farm and will not have to meet at...

crs

Done - thanks for the post.

crs

Gents; I appreciate the offers. May I suggest the following: Since Ricky will be down there first, he and I will try to make arrangements and if that falls through, Mr. Wiedner and I will give it a try. Ricky; I will work with Corey and Joe to see that you get the mount and then we can do either of ...

crs

Dave;
Great photos of the watermelon! How did you get that one blowing up?
I may have to buy a watermelon to bust, because the Halloween pumpkins are getting too soft to explode.

crs

Yes, I shoot sporting clays and skeet when I have time. Great sport when there are no open hunting seasons.

crs

Thanks, Griff. Good of you to offer. Lets see if any of the hunters volunteers before you go scheduling that big, diesel thirsty rig out of your way.

crs

Is anyone from the Carrollton, TX area going on one of these hunts? If so, would you be willing to bring my Blackbuck shoulder mount back to Carrollton for me? The mount is at Keep It Real Taxidermy in Castroville, which is near Hondo. However, Corey Burris, the owner, will likely bring it over to t...

crs

Salute to you and the fox!
Great picture!

crs

UPDATE - I

found a good one!!!

crs

gon2shoot; The only elk taken while we were there were taken by guided hunters on the Vermejo Park ranch just north of the WC. The outfitter buys tags and then uses the WC cabins, cafeteria, and game processing facilities for his clients. Modoc ed - hunted with my 1886 , but only fired it twice at t...

See update in original post.

G;
When hunting in Texas next month, look around a bit. The Gulf can not compare to the Pacific, but it is a gun-friendly state - at least so far.

crs

Congratulations! Great post and picture.

crs

OK, Hobie, what was it that you wanted?

Foxtrapper - private message sent.

Nath;
I was hunting and will load pics and comments tomorrow. Since returning, I have been busy as a cat in a sandbox.

Also, thanks to you guys for the tips on a new takedown .405. As soon as I finish some MUST DO WORK tasks tomorrow morning, I will make calls.

crs

Very nice! Do they go into the safe or will you be shooting them?

crs

:D Thanks to the great guys on this forum, there were three leads on takedown .405 Winchester 1895s. I stumbled into a good deal and mine is being shipped now. :D Here is the text from the sellers description: =========================================== I got just the thing! i have had it for about ...

Another thing about high magnification scopes - Heat distortion can make high magnification useless. My Bausch and Lomb Discoverer goes up to 60 power, but for field use, the large size and weight make it clumsy to transport and use. With my Velbon heavy duty camera tripod for a steady mount and a 3...

My new Leupold scope is the Wind River Sequoia, not the Gold Ring. Mine cost just over $200 from Natchez with no tripod (I already had a tripod and monopod). The Gold Ring costs several hundred dollars more, as does their compact scope. Other than this minor qualification on the scope, 86ers evaluat...

86er and I leave for the NRA Whittington Center in a couple hours to try to bag a cow elk. With a lot of luck we will return next week with elk venison and some good stories and pictures. Good news and bad news: First, thank you to all of the well wishers - we hunted hard, but no cigar. Now, the bad...
