Happy BD Grizz! I got on here at right time. This Aug 31, will be my 20th BD, since I found the way, the truth, and the life! Sunday Aug31 2003.

Congrats Nath, OldWin said it already for me!

All 4 where shot at 40yds resting on my 4w. The first target of the 170g Noslers, the one flyer was my fault, the first shot I took. Corrected my rest and I'll never complain about groups like that! I didn't chrome yesterday, just used known velocities from the past.

Drawdown

First let me say I didn't disappear or just go away, I've been overwhelmed by circumstances! Last year I did Lotta fun shooting getting 3 rifles ready for deer season, and love that part more than the hunting. But I started bowhunting in our early Sept bow season. Everything was going really good fo...

Drawdown

Yes, Salute and say give Thanks!

Drawdown

Probably most all us would like to have in possession every old Winchester Lever, me for sure! But I've never been a collector, from my youth, I always bought only what I want to use, just me! I've studied these old guns for years, all Winchesters especially, but 99% by reading. To me, the 76 is one...

I love that rifle, caliber it's in, everything about it!

Drawdown

I've been a compulsive reader my entire life, from dad's F&S's in mid 60's, then F&S OL & SA all three which he subscribed to by late 60's for me, not to mention me buying every interesting magazine off the rack since, still do! I've enjoyed lots types of hunting and fishing all my life,...

Drawdown

Jim I'd have to say thers not a bad group out the entire bunch, and it favors the heavier loads. Fine shooting!

Drawdown

You'll find the help you need on here I'm sure, but I'm not it. But it's a cartridge & rifle I'd enjoy being in your shoes for, and yes I'd say a fine deer cartridge, especially what I know about most Ala deer woods. The old Win cartridges are very useful, interesting and fun, and by my memory, ...

Six gun, You're Loaded! I'd like to have you for a neighbor!

Drawdown

Yes it sure is ndcowboy! I'm done stocked up on plenty this summer from my LGS. But maybe I

might take inventory see if there anything else I need to order, just to give me an excuse

You have a lot of allergy

sneezing. Can't figure out what causes that

At first I thought no way, then I remembered how special this little closet is! It pulls duty for reloading, flytying, few others, and praying! It's my favorite place under a roof, and right now it shows the flytying mode, but easily converts to reloading in minutes, I use a Lee Hand Press and 95% L...

Thanks for that Jim! I remember when Obama was running, which term?, but he made a statement about people that live in my region, that shows how totally blind & ignorant he sadly but truly is! He said "they hide behind guns and the Bible". Duh! But that same supposed man, got on his pi...

Drawdown

Great jam to be in, seems if it where me, I'd be down a new road whichever way you go. But, I'd love the 375 BB and be happy!

Drawdown

Nath, have you ever tried that Speer 130g HC in reduced loads? With some of the better reduced loading powders, which I've never ventured, I have no doubt in a lotta rifles it'd be a winner. And also I've never tried yet, pushing this bullet to its max, and I also think it likely it'd be a great dee...

Drawdown

Neither had I.

One note, I used Fort Smith Primers which I got available at my LGS recently. I dud have one misfire, but rechambered, and it fired.

Drawdown

Next I tried the Speer HC 130gr with a minimum charge for a reduced load, but this bullet I'm sure would be a fine deer bullet with a Max load at higher velocities! Hard to beat a Speer, even my 30-06 loves them! Last thing I shot my regular Hunting load, Hornady 160FTX & a Max charge of LVR. It...

Drawdown

These are my 4 groups with the Partitions, and all I can say is this rifle seems to love them! I want list the charge, but each load was at or near a recommended 3/4 Max load. Now I'm glad I put out the money for these bullets have a fine reputation. Velocities Speead for each one was less than 18fp...

Drawdown

Hard to beat an Oct day at the range, I love this time year! I wanted to just confirm my hunting load for my Mod 64 one more time. But I had run up on a great buy for some Nosler 170gr Partitions back in early summer, so I finally tried them, and with 4 different powders, 4 shot groups each. Along w...

Good report and data on a great rifle!

Good idea is to add 4-5 ft of the Gorilla Duct tape to each ends V, for a wear strip from the constant rubbing coming ashore. The Gorilla is lot thicker and tougher last longer than the regular Duct tape I used to use.

One the great things about canoes are, so easy to grab & go. I back my truck under it, loaded in 2 minutes. Hang it back up easily in about 10 minutes no problem. Plus they can add to your camp if you like. Pitch a lean-to-tarp over it laying on its side, you have a solid wall wind break. Even s...

You're right Grizz, up north is where you find the real canoe users and best made canoes! Most people think, a canoe is a canoe, and that can easily be true. But in depth, nothing is further from the truth! I wish I had lot more "canoe huntable waters" available! Those freighters are amazi...

Drawdown

Some my best memories of hunting and fishing where by canoe! I've been in love with them since the early 70's, have a Old Town Penobscot 164 now, weighs 75lb. Had its about twin before that. Borh made of Polethylene. The right canoe for its purpose, is the most useful, graceful, workhorse on the wat...

Nothing says classic levergun any better than a Marlin in 35Rem! Love both these!

Drawdown

Good deal 2nd, and good looking rifle! The 33 & 35 wcf is two I'd like to gotten acquainted with very much also!

Drawdown

Well Grizz, I can wish you best in American L., but I'm a longtime Braves fan! We spent probably 6-7 vacations from 1995-2004 in Atlanta watching 2-3 games.
I believe Charlie Daniel's got it right again!

Scott I'm not sure the % of HG vs Rfl, but I can tell you from word of mouth from, My Dad, close friends still here that witnessed it, etc. Plenty outright coal mine wars right here where I was born and raised, still live, began work while a couple where still going on in the 70's. It was on account...

I'm going to look into getting probably the 170g RNFP, if not another this winter. I'm busy now hunting, everything else. But I'll give em go, be ready this spring to try em!

Drawdown

Beautiful buck with a great rifle! The 1876 has kept my interest since I first saw Steve McQueen in Tom Horn in about 1980 I think. I've got it on DVD and watch it occasionally, I'd sure like to have one in 45-60, I'd put it use!

Crusty, I've used the straight sticks jammed in there also. But this'll, ride thru overhanging branches, just flexes over go right back in place, never got a single web on me! What a relief!

Just an example, I've come to a well tested and really good conclusion for my hunting season, which ironically here in my part of the state, is a one buck only during firearms season, + one doe by bow or crossbow, Total. But I have 3 of what I consider perfect for me and the terrain I'm gonna hunt. ...

Drawdown

Since I was a kid, I have accumulated what I could of old Winchesters in every model and chambering that interested me. When I was young, that was everything that wasn't a 94 in 30-30. Now that I'm older, its almost all I use. Maybe that's why they made 7 million of em. Look at all the money and tr...

Thanks men they both will get the job done!

Flo Max for me, and I take some Vita D, and 4-6 16oz bottles of water a day, sometimes more.

I'd only shot this rifle a few times, and only 3 shots with this load, and I want to verify my zero with it, shooting off hand. Had to raise elevator one notch, and go left slightly, but I'm happy with it now. I'm using 170gr Hawk Bullet with LVR Powder at aprox 2200fps in Win Brass. I'm confident i...

Been a while since I'd shot anything other than my bow, so I finally took my 94 carbine to check the final zero with the load I'll use in it for hunting. This time of year a spider web shield is a life saver here, webs will torment you now, along with the mosquitoes. This rig takes care the webs com...

Good hunting right there, small critter but still big game!

Take it to 30-06 and be happy forever. I'm 100% with Blaine! We've had the 06 so long, heard it so long, I thought for years boring! But now, I love mine just like a 30-30, and it's the most versatile cartridge I have knowledge of! Bullet selection is vast, several powders for it according to the b...

Drawdown

Time perfectly spent Nath, can't go wrong doing that, acknowledge Him, give Him glory! That's what I love about fall and hunting, and a 94 across the lap makes us feel a little better!

Drawdown

Love them DB's!

Drawdown

I'm pretty sure they numbered em right along with the 94 as if no difference.
