One pound lighter is a lot! The HCAR is also very nice, but I can't afford one and not available here in Commiefornia. Seems like everyone needs just one semi-auto rifle in their collection and I don't have one yet. I would love the Browning Safari in 338 Winchester but they are not that easy or che...

CowboyTutt

Geeze Jim, with tolerances like that, maybe a smaller bullet and a sabot??

I can crunch some powder and pressure numbers in Quick Load if the cartridge is in its data base but some similar cartridges would come very close I suspect.

I played around years ago with PPing for my 11mm Mauser 71/84 but using a smokeless load. Buffalo Arms had all the stuff you could need like bullets and stencils and paper to make it as easy as possible. They weren't very accurate with my small Blue Dot load. McPherson the gun writer and ballisticia...

Jim, from what I'm reading the Mosin probably has a faster twist rate than even my 303 Brit at 1:10 (Mosin 1:9.5 it looks like) It might be worth trying some of these for you, maybe: https://www.buffaloarms.com/314-diameter-205-grain-rngc-h-314299-314.html I thought I had some 215 grain bullets from...

CowboyTutt

Good point, CS. Actually they had a Kimber revolver or 3 in 357 Mag or a CZ Auto in 40 that really caught my eye. Hopefully later in the year! I think I will stick to using a 22 mag in a rifle only. -Tutt

CowboyTutt

I’ve actually never been able to hit anything with open sights where the target was smaller than the front sight. I don’t understand how people do that, whether with handgun or rifle. Doc, not sure here, but thinking 6 O'clock hold here is what is needed. A "center of mass" hold would not...

CowboyTutt

Ran into one of these today. Well built, originally designed by Freedom Arms I believe and well made. Not sure I want one but you guys have been terrible influence about things 22 mag recently!!!

:D Sometimes you have to put the blame where it belongs!!! Some years ago, we were talking knives (again) and O.S., aka "The Ancient One" :P posted a picture of his Case knife. Fast forward many years, and here is my modest little collection of three of them. Case Knives Pic .jpg From left...

That one was definitely meant for you! Congrats! -Tutt

Wow, the officer was sure calm and nonchalant about all that. Glad he was there. -Tutt

CowboyTutt

No "Arms Race" here my friend, I have had these plans and rifles for a long time. I think if I were to go to Africa, I would take my CZ 550 in 375 H&H Ackley Improved for the big critters and one of my lever guns as back-up. A moderate weight properly constructed bullet (say 300 grains...

CowboyTutt

Tutt, My Winchester 1895 .405 WCF is happy (no high pressure} with 300 GR NF at 2250 fps (my fave load) and Woodleigh 400 grain Weldcore or solid ( I used both) . The latter load equals the well known 450/400 DR load of 400 grain Woodies at 2050 - 2100 fps. To minimize concern about peak chamber pr...

While I have no doubt there are aliens among us masquerading as Democrats trying to destroy our way of life, I have myself seen people hit the "Banana Rock" at Whittington Center which is about the size of a VW bug (but getting smaller every year) at 600 yards, off hand, one handed, in his...

CowboyTutt

I think they had some problems with some types of ammo Doc. Not really thinking about it truly, but interesting idea. -Tutt

What weight field dressed, and how much meat...???

Inquiring minds want to know!!!

It looks like its 9K to 20K for a hunt, so I'm bringing all the meat I can home! LOL

-Tutt

CowboyTutt

those are huge animals . . . I'm wonder how they taste. . . Grizz, they taste like beef, only leaner and tougher than our bovines from what I'm reading. Would be good in stew though. Interestingly, you can't sell the meat once you kill it, but I suspect you can donate it to locals in Africa to feed...

CowboyTutt

First off, need to thank Old Number 7 for introducing me to Standard Manufacturing. He might just cost me a lot of money though some day! While some of you may remember, I have taken an interest in the 22 Mag and awaiting taking my lil' Savage 93 BRJ home after all the stupid PPwork and wait time is...

Had to look that up. From our own J.T. some time ago:

CowboyTutt

Chris, I'm also curious what bullet was used in the 45-70. CRS what type of Woodleigh bullet did you use? That's impressive ballistics from the Model '95. -Tutt

CowboyTutt

The new Marlin's have a half-cock safety, and a cross bolt or "hammer block" safety that only works in half-cock or full cock. I don't really see the harm in the addition of the cross bolt safety myself. The Henry's use a transfer-bar safety as Pillar mentioned was possible. I would like t...

Hi Weiler, welcome back and I enjoyed your pictures and set-up. You went to a lot of work to do all that, I'm impressed. It looks like the receiver of your #1 has some CCH? I wouldn't mind more rife pic's if you have them by chance, but don't trouble yourself to take new ones. Anyhow, nice job! -Tutt

CowboyTutt

Wow, nice find!!!!!

-Tutt

CowboyTutt

I didn't know Miroku ever made '73's. What is the finish on it? Caliber? -T-

CowboyTutt

Well Tallboy, what did you get???

-Tutt

CowboyTutt

So recently I was wondering who makes a very good SAA anymore? And I was watching this video you posted and was very impressed. Then I found this: https://stdgun.com/single-action-revolver-case-colored-45-lc/ Oh my. I already have some projects in the works but...oh my. This could be trouble. -Tutt

CowboyTutt

OMG too funny! -Tutt

CowboyTutt

Looks great, bet it shoots great too! Magna Porting works and on a rifle you lose less velocity than with a full blown muzzle break. -Tutt

CowboyTutt

Got it Harry, thanks! -Tutt

CowboyTutt

If its just an interference fit then you should be able to drive it out with a pin punch. They come in sets, you probably already have some I'm guessing. -Tutt

CowboyTutt

I just ran Quick Load for the Barnes 200 grain TSX bullet. First best powder for velocity was Winchester 748 Powder (it generated a very different powder list from my 250 grain Hornady bullets!). An even 50 grains of it had a MAP of 59,042 PSI ESTIMATED and 2594 FPS out of your 19 inch barrel. Too h...

CowboyTutt

For sure. Its gonna take a while to get it cleaned up. Someone did not believe in gun cleaning lol.

Yeah, I sort of saw that from the chamber pictures! LOL -Tutt

CowboyTutt

I'm not so much into that cartridge, but that is a GREAT looking firearm that will make a nice family heirloom! Come back with a range report when you can my friend. -Tutt

CowboyTutt

Good information, thanks for posting that. -Tutt

CowboyTutt

That looks very nice! If you could CCH the lever, trigger and hammer, it would be out of the park! Keep us posted! -Tutt

CowboyTutt

Nice going Nath! -Tutt

CowboyTutt

Not the worst looking commemorative I have seen. Seems like a lot for a 22 LR though.

Super nice Rim, but super expensive anymore! Good taste as usual though! -Tutt

CowboyTutt

I understand you. MIne is in 358 Winchester also, great cartridge and you can really make the most of it handloading in the strong BLR action. -Tutt

CowboyTutt

They probably have that too, she said to call them if you want more information. -Tutt

CowboyTutt

Nice bolt gun BB! -Tutt

CowboyTutt

Tallboy, I heard back from Boyd's Gunstocks. She sent me the following links for you to check out. They have everything you need from standard walnut to fancy grades and best of all, they are fully inletted for either pre or post 1964. -Tutt https://www.boydsgunstocks.com/product-configurator/winche...

CowboyTutt

You certainly can't go wrong there. One advantage to choosing a '94 is there are aftermarket stocks available in many choices. Most of the time they are "semi inletted" and will need final fitment. You could probably upgrade your wood, order it without checkering, and keep the original woo...

CowboyTutt

BK, you seemed to have stumped us. I like to think I know a little more than most how about the modern BLR's as I have one, but what you are trying to do is beyond what I had done to mine. Maybe call up a gunsmith who has worked on one? It doesn't sound like Browning is much help to you. -Tutt

CowboyTutt

Tutt, do you remember the Chief Sitting Bull commemorative? Wasn't that the one with rows and rows of brass tacks protruding from the stock? Aargh! Yes, I do! The engraving was OK but the brass studs or tacks was just too much. https://www.rockislandauction.com/detail/2060/940/winchester-model-94-c...

CowboyTutt

Now THAT is a great idea and tid bit of information, thanks Pard! -Tutt

CowboyTutt

Looks very good Grizz! Looks like you did a good strong 2 pin mount on the spear head too. I worry about some of the mounting options people are using. Mine originally just came with a wood screw from one side. Not nearly strong enough for real world use if you ask me. -Tutt

CowboyTutt

Had the spear tip made for me from a guy in Ukraine. I had him engrave it with "Slava Ukrainia" on one side and "Hyram Slava" on the other in Cyrillic (Glory to Ukraine, and its heros). I didn't like the shaft it came with, so I ordered up a staff made of Ipe wood (South African ...

CowboyTutt

Looks great! Don't forget to weather proof it! Something that nice needs to last a long time! -Tutt

CowboyTutt

That one doesn't look so bad as is either! Seen worse, good find. -Tutt
