By the way, the first Rock and Roller was Elvis in 1865 in Love Me Tender which was to be released as The Reno Brothers before they decided to use the Song Title.

Ah yes 20 cows, The Undefeated and the Searchers.

I believe Wyatt threatened to turn Ike's head into a canoe with a Smith and Wesson in Tombstone. Clint Eastwood uses a number of period pieces in his films. I enjoy seeing the "mistakes" as a point of hollywood movie making. I recall one contrail in and old cowboy movie. The reality is the...

YK - at times I have thought that both you and Hobie aren't single individuals but committees who take turns at the helm. The names Ysabel and Hobie are both acronyms. Then I noticed that when you came Hobie let up on his post rate. Likely, you are a subcommitttee of the HOBIE group. Say, what are y...

Ed - good to see you here. I think it is actually a precursor to much more muscular rounds and with todays slower powders it is a good choice for some specialty purposes and some could use it for an all around cartridge.

THATS NATH!

Well Doc, a great pair they make but because they are in very different categories I am going to have to claim a tie but as I implied - if you had both you wouldn't need anything else.

Ah, maybe a 22LR.

Glad that all is working out in her recovery.

Looks like these guys had the same idea

. The Case is a Xmas present from my wife and the other is a Boker I picked up some years ago.

pebow, tested five different loads between the 22" SS and 26" Cowboy low velocity of the string was always higher with the 26" 30 to 92 fps but the high wasn't always higher but could be by 100 fps. You just have to see by the individual load.

What does a Junior Warden do?

To the extent that the 308 was also developed by the Govt with Winchester taking the civilian branding the 358 and 243 are semi in that category.

The 270 was formed from the 30-03 Springfield case.

Sure are a friendly looking maddog.

I might add that my above described load yeilded 2075 fps in an 1895 Cowboy 26".

Yes but it was a wildcat not a factory round. I would like to see you pick up a 25-35 and test it's effectiveness on foxes and the like and load it with light bullets for your other work.

Nath - another way around is the best that went away so to speak and that would be the 25-35 and the best that never was the 35-30.

My favorite would be a 311284 and 21 gr of 4759 for about 1650 fps.

47.5 gr of 4198, 1995 fps with a Remington 300 in a 22" 1895SS with the Ballard style rifling. ES was 98 fps. 51 grains should produce something in the 2100 fps range in my rifle. Maybe a little more.

They are still in service in Mubai.

A classic picture.

BTW, I get around 2950 to 3050 fps with 130s with that load depending on the individual rifle.

Grew up on a farm, friends had farms - we drank out of the creek with horses half a mile up stream. Went one six year period without missing a day of school. Maybe folks don't get enough immunities any more. Been to a medical doctor less than a dozen times in 61 years and some of those were physical...

Use 57 grains of RL 19 with 130s and 55 with 150s - great load in 4 different rifles. I think whatever bullet shoots best in your rifle will be fine.

But came to your senses.

this is Calif - I will need an FFL.

Byron - if I just double click on the link in my post it takes me to the home page and articles is listed there - clicking on that brings up a list of the articles which if you click on them brings up the individual article you want.

8mm Mauser is similar I believe.

Nath - who makes that sling?

That sounds like that way to go Bubba another choice is the 9.3x74R in the Ruger #1 if you go with that rifle.

Wide open space for Sherwood Forest - those guys aren't safe with you about and that rifle.

Ted - this one is accurate and as handy as most levers - scope is a 1.5-5x Leupold - perfect for it. Did have to bed the tand and under the recoil lug and chamber.

Savage Arms made the first motorized lawn mower. Interesting to me as my Dad had a lawn mower shop and that was where my first job was.

Home page

First link gets to the articles for me.

There was a thread on this but it might have been on the old forum. Great combo for all around light medium work. I have a bolt in a 20 in barrel and it is a great rifle. 380 is the powder for all weights in mine. Approximately 1000 rds through in likely more than 50 loads. Make that 78 loads +/-, 1...

You know - if only they had made those 71s in an AE version.

Um??? 71 Scout rifle.

Sounds like you are looking for a scopable 348. On a weaker platform.

Maybe you just want a 338 Federal.

358 Win in a BLR comes close.

35 Whelen or 338/06 in an 1895 Winchester.

Interesting tests

I am watching you on these.

Rain and snow in those mountains today and tonight - was just up there for Xmas dinner. Can't do Tues.

Merry Christmas from California.

Ah, interesting cultural info.

Where is that house???

The rain and snow here are ruining the drought.

And Merry Christmas to you Hobie.

OK fellas, here ya go. I caught this indian and dressed him up in white man's clothes and gave him a Rolling Rock. This is my high desert, hot weather, dress, bright sun injun catchin outfit. I was gonna call him Tonto but he escaped; better becareful up north cause I hear he is in Oregon. Remember,...

When exactly is Festivus?

The Win and Marlin 375s are essentially 38-55s to wiith bore dimensions that match modern bullets. Paco said in his book and other places that he used four more grains of powder in his Win BB 375 with the 38-55 cases.

Beautiful! You will love it.

1886, I stand by your assertions also - sometimes intent and accuracy can't both be served. My wordsmith wife has been searching alternates for the intent and I don't believe one actually exists to convey the intened meaning in the intended way and YK certainly is a fine guy all around and is the pr...

Sometimes words sound one way but mean something else. Penultimate for instance is often used as "the best" but means - next to last.

But here, I suppose, words can have an insider meaning.
