Re: Tally Oh! Getting ready to go...deer hunting!

Re: 30-30, Is it adequate?
Too bad they haven't read about the Win 94 by Sam Fadala. I think a 30-30 or 30-30 Imp with 190 gr Hawk bullets ( Fadala pulled 303 Savage bullets) should do the trick.

Model 92 in 22 Remington Jet
Is it possible for a 92 chambered in 357 mag to be rebarreled and rechambered for 22 Rem Jet? For those not familiar the Jet is a 357 mag necked down to .223 shooting a 40 gr bullet. Is there too much taper in the cartridge to work? I have a S&W model 53 and thought a companion levergun would be...
