I have a Winchester 94 Legacy in 38/55 with a 26 round barrel that is still new and unfired. I bought it on the day that USRA announced Bankruptcy. Nice wood and nice gun. I have just never gotten around to shooting it.

I would not mind having more, but I do not shop at wally world....ever!

My guess is the fireballs were impressive.

I can tell you they hold up. Lassiter has been shooting one for at least 10 years in Cowboy Action Shooting. He engineered this drop 2 conversion for competition, which you would not want. But they do hold up well. I wish they made them in 10 gauge also.

I had no idea, but guess I should of how much these have increased in price over the years. I have one in the closet I bought about 1975. A bit different as it is a size 52.

buckeyeshooter

I bought the progressive because I started CAS and was shooting 500 rounds a week of handgun and 100 of shotgun. I did a match both Saturday and Sunday, then practice on Wednesday. I still use my Lyman Spar-T that I bought in the Expert kit back in 1978. I still use it for all my hunting loads. I re...

I bought a 650 with all the bells and whistles and it never would seat primers and the powder check station would not stay in adjustment. I went through a lot of wasted time with customer service and finally sent it back and they sent it back still not working. After way too much baloney from them t...

buckeyeshooter

You will not like hearing this, but my take is it is the Dillon product not the Unique. I had a real nasty Dillon 650 that would not seat primers, had trouble metering unique and the overcharged powder station also came out of adjustment after about every 10 rounds. I sent it back to Dillon and they...

. At least, if you invest in 60 to 120 rounds, that’s enough cases that if you’re just hunting with the gun it’s going to last a lifetime if you don’t push your reloads to really hot levels. primers and powder are not depend on the cartridge, and bullets of a suitable diameter aren’t really that ha...

I shoot 7 grains of unique with a 200 grain cast for Cowboy Action shooting and it Chronos 1020 out of my 20 inch Marlin 1894 in 44 magnum. My guess is that if you used a 250 grain cast instead of the 200 you could get under 1000 fps. Thanks That sounds just like the information that I wanted in ca...

welcome to the world of all guns shoot differently. Want a real head scratcher. I have 2 4 3/4 Vaqueros, 2 5 1/2 Vaquero Bisleys, a Uberti 1866 and a Turnbull 92 deluxe takedown and I need them ALL to shoot the same load to about the same spot for Cowboy Action Shooting. By the way, they are all in ...

buckeyeshooter

Bonehead mistake! In CAS at the clubs I shoot at, they always recommend that you load the original Henry at a 45 degree angle or less, with the barrel pointed in a safe direction and be very careful NOT to let the follower impact the rounds under spring pressure. If you let that spring fly and there...

My suggestion is sell or trade the current one for and angle eject. Would be less expensive and easier in the long run.

buckeyeshooter

I have never had the pleasure of shooting an 8. But I have 3 10's. I can tell you the federal 10 gauge slug electrifies a deer with a chest shot. I have killed 8 with my SP-10 and they do not move when hit, just fall on the spot. My guess is you will get like reaction.

buckeyeshooter

that is a very nice double!

buckeyeshooter

very nice looking rifle

buckeyeshooter

Why would you pay $1500 for that when for the same money you could buy a .460 or .500? They both do anything a .350 does and do it better. Ammo costs, lower recoil, shootability. Same reason people buy 357 over a 44, or a 6.5 Creedmoor over a 338 You might be surprised. I have a 6.5 inch 500 and it...

I just bought a Turnbull Manufactured 1886 in 50-110. Probably less expensive than buying a gun and having it converted. Plus, I got to spec it out... 32 inch barrel, shotgun butt and case finish.

I wonder if the "new" Pythons will drive the price of old Pythons into the realm of affordability. It seems like the price of the new ones are quite high for a revolver ... but still not near where the old ones were hovering a few years back. I need to go take a look on the auction sites....

I have a friend that owns one, he has no problems with it and he shoots it often.

I also found a raggedy box of Remington 158 grain JHP that I gave to my dad when I gave him my S&W Nickel plated 586 with a 6 inch barrel about 45 to 50 years ago. Shortly Before he died he gave it back to me. Curious if anyone knows the velocity of that ammunition somewhere around 1975 Accordin...

It depends on which guns I am shooting. For guns I am hunting with and shooting smokeless, generally, as needed. For the guns I cowboy shoot with and use black powder. I clean them within hours after use.

buckeyeshooter

I didn't realize the 50 Alaskan was a .510 bullet. Or that they were using BMG bullets cut down. Ill have to do a little research on it out of curiosity. That's one reason I like the 500 Smith & Wesson (0.500") as a levergun cartridge, in addition to the slightly shorter case maybe making ...

buckeyeshooter

He fumbled some stuff but otherwise, interesting. We were just referring to the .450 Marlin in the '94 in another thread. It's impressive to run that in a rifle like the 1894 with the middling sized receiver. My 71 in .450 Alaskan outruns his Turnbull 50 a bit but my barrel is 20" and is full ...

buckeyeshooter

I'm thinking that's got to be the most powerful round chambered in the 94 action. Did the .450 Marlin ever make it onto the 94 platform? Yes, I had a packer (18 1/2 bbl) 444 with porting and a 450 the same set up. There were very few of both made (less than 2000). When I got offered crazy money for...

I still have a 2.5 inch 19. At one point I had a 2.5. 4 and 6 inch. I am getting old and starting to downsize these days.

I did not know that. So, I might be a bit different.

I am still shooting a Model 18 with 3 T's. I shoot it so well that I sold my Model 41.

Well, I can do the "well-equipped" Texas Ranger tomorrow at the cowboy action match! Think I should lobby for 15 pistol shots per stage... https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/d197/sass93/DSCN1502_1_.JPG You could pull another pistola out of the safe and shoot in the Josey Wales category.

buckeyeshooter

I am very organized and keep everything neat and tidy. I bench for my Lyman Spar-t (47 years old) and my Hornady lock and load and a different bench for a MEC 10 gauge, MEC 12 gauge, Lee 16 gauge and my Lee bullet casting furnace.

Recent DNA tests, 2 of them, said I have 0% Irish. 85% Great Britain/Scotland/Wales in 1 test, 87% in the other. 3 to 7% Italian, and same percent Jewish. Rest is from around Yugoslavia/Romania. Family names and oral history seem to be somewhat open to speculation. Not sure why I like things that g...

I have always wanted a 71. Right now, just making due with a pair of 1886's.

buckeyeshooter

I have 3, all Winchesters made in Japan, a 30-06 carbine, a 30-06 takedown rifle and a 30-40 carbine. I shoot full power 30-06 loads that I also use in my bolt action rifles with no ill effects. I shoot standard book loads in the 30-40, again with no problem.

buckeyeshooter

Yep, just turning that 17 into and aftermarket 18. A real ammo burner. Never shot an 18 but have fired a MAC 11 in 9mm. Talk about an ammo burner!!

buckeyeshooter

I have a 3.5 and a 6.5 inch Smith and Wesson 27. This solves any need for a Python. Now, if it was a 4 3/4 inch Colt single action in 44-40 or 38-40, I am in.

Nice article. I'm using 400 grain A-frames in my 450 Alaskan over a big pan of 3031. Unless I'm plinking, then I'm using the 350 grain HotCore over even more 3031. I like 535 grain Woodleighs over reloader 7 in my 50 Alaskan. The Woodleighs are designed for the 500 Nitro Express, right in the veloc...

Also, get your trigger finger farther in, and concentrate on a straight-back pull.

The X frames might have the same grip as the Model 29, but weighing in at 4.5 lbs. sure didn't feel anything like my Model 29's do. Regardless of felt recoil, that's a huge increase in weight to hold up when aiming at a target very long. Not something I care to own, or shoot. I also don't care for ...

As a S&W fan I had to chuckle at the first time I saw and handled one of the X frames. It's just way too big and heavy to be something fun to shoot. I bought a 6.5 inch 500 and I was actually very pleased that it felt very much like the 6.5 inch 29 that I had been carting around every time I le...

I have a Turnbull 92 deluxe takedown case finish in 44wcf with a 24 inch octagon. It is my favorite because it shoots great and is beautiful.
