I don't have a take down so this may not help, but I'll throw this out there for your consideration. Mine will shoot 150gr bullets very similar to what you're experiencing....maybe a hair better. But if I want the best accuracy from my rifle, I shoot 165gr bullets....one ragged hole at 100yds. Just ...

Last night Midway's Gun stories on the Outdoor Channel had a whole show about the Winny 73. But yes, lever gun specific programming is pretty slim.

Pitchy, I don't often post, but visit here virtually every day.....the folks here are as down to earth as one could ask for. I've always enjoyed the posts, the infomation, the banter(sometimes a bit spicy, same as family can be on occasion) and the general class folks exhibit here at Leverguns. IMO ...

It's rare that I post......it's also rare that a day doesn't go by I don't visit here!

As you can see by my post count I typically don't have much to say. But I have to say that leverguns.com is my favorite place to "lurk", and I do so regularily. Of course the overall knowledge of firearms, not just leverguns, is the main reason for visiting...not a visit to this site goes ...

One might ask, why is Jimmy doing what he's doing and has done? If i may borrow from Mr. Obama.........."bitter"

45-70 is right on.

You get multiple layers of clothing, boots, etc., wet and even the best swimmers quickly tire.......plus we had a big blow kick up this past Sunday. I'm sure that was the main reason for the capsize. My condolences to the families involved...sad.
