It’s an Airweight (aluminum frame). 327 Mag may be a bit much for it, especially in a six shot

44shooter

I think the mag is not detachable except for the follower like Henrys. The fancy one is $3500, not the tactical looking one. It is a Marlin 1894 clone like the Ruger and the Henry. It’s a me too gun but looks like a well done one. Competition is good, especially in leverguns. Now the new Ruger LC in...

It will if you put a regular 1911 frame on it

Good job getting an old gun shooting again

Very well could be. The reporter and her dialog are probably real, the cat maybe added in. The animal doesn’t act cautious, curious, or aggressive. Even a tame house cat would likely show some acknowledgment toward a stranger.

44shooter

I don’t know if the short cartridges will ruin your chamber trope come from corrosive priming days or what, but I haven’t found it to be a problem in 45 Colt, 44 mag, 357 mag, or 22 LR. I don’t necessarily clean chambers every time and when I do, it’s nothing particularly special. It’s an old wives ...

She did have a light in her face and was focused on the camera. She never really looked directly at the cat. Nothing she could have done by the time she saw it any way other than make things worse.

44shooter

I once sighted in a revolver in a Ranson Rest with a similar outcome

44shooter

Plain old LRN UMC rounds in 38 and 44 specials did surprising well in Gun Sam’s gel tests. They didn’t really over penetrate either. I have seen him shoot a fmj 38 clean through two blocks though. Same with 40 but less surprising. I do prefer HPs for defense though. Didn’t someone here say 45 acp RN...

44shooter

That packaging looks to be from the 1960s. Nice shooting!

44shooter

Well I have purposely pointed at my television, light switches, fixtures, and outlets thousands of times. I do not want to destroy any of those but if I do, I will bear the consequence. He is a guy alone in the woods. If he shoots his camera, he can buy another. Relax, he can’t shoot you through You...

44shooter

If it is the size of a Bounty Hunter, it should be pretty stout.

44shooter

I want a smaller 44 double action myself. Special would be fine. A medium magnum like the S&W 69 would be very nice too. But for the price I could buy a 44 Bulldog and a 40 Pitbull and a holster to fit either. The action on my Undercover is way smoother than my 642, it is a smaller gun too. Doc,...

44shooter

I feel ok with a five shot 38 even doing high value transactions. I feel well protected with a six shot 45acp revolver and five shot 12 gauge at home. A 1911 with eight 45s and a spare mag is exceptionally well heeled to me.

44shooter

I think a 44 Bulldog is a sound choice for carry. I’d probably go for something other than LRN, but they did very well.

44shooter

Pretty sure Sam films alone.

32 H&R- smallbore version of 38 Special 327 magnum- smallbore version of 357 magnum 30 Super Carry- smallbore version of 9x19 mainly for micro autos All offer more capacity unlike the smallbore bottlenecked Luger, Mauser and Tokarov. But they do not seem to quite match what each is designed to c...

44shooter

So, my .22 leveraction growing up was a Marlin Model 39, so please excuse my ignorance. Weren't the Erma, Rossi, and Henry's all derived from the Browning .22 leveractions? I don’t think so. They look outwardly similar, but the BL-22 is a tiny action with a really short stroke, as in open and close...

44shooter

I use them since I have a Hornady kit and the press requires them. I bought some extras but it can get pricey if you outfit a lot of dies. They do just pop into place like closing a bolt action.

44shooter

Buy your ammo early and often

44shooter

I checked out the site. He has some interesting designs on hand

44shooter

Try them. It’s not like they are premium bullets. If you start getting misfires or especially hang fires or squibs, pull the bullets. You may want to cull some brass afterwards either way if there is significant corrosion.

44shooter

I remember admiring the design of the 10/22 as a kid but it wasn’t that accurate and handled like a board. I love my 77/22 though, a 50 yard one holer with the right ammo.

44shooter

I know it takes some of the fun out, but I would order some Black Hills 158s. You KNOW they will group. It that 97 or 83?

44shooter

Something shady about this. Don’t expect any resolution as it will likely be covered up. Even if he is questioned, reprimanded or disciplined, you will not know the particulars. Keep everything. If you notice an increased LE attention towards you, go to the media and the SBI. He likely had the wrong...

44shooter

Are you positive it doesn’t have a damaged crown or a ringed barrel? I find it hard to believe conventional bullets will not work. I had a 284 that would not shoot even after a recrown. It was ringed. I sent it to Ruger to be rebarreled.

44shooter

If anyone has a copy of the reloading manual from the late 60'2 early 70's there is a chapter entitled "Watch What You Slip Into That Chamber". Semms a young boy bought a Win Mod 70 in .270 from a friend.Along with the rifle he got a cigar box full of ammo. All cartridges looked the same ...

44shooter

That was really fast service

44shooter

I never understood the 41 magnum as anything more than a pride project. The guns were as big as 44s and 45s so no size or weight savings. The 44mag covers all its magnum capabilities and surpasses it on the heavy end. It kicks much harder than 357 and not much less than 44 magnum. I agree the police...

44shooter

That barrel marking says “Made in Brazil” on the top line

44shooter

All those carbines on that cart look beautiful. My JM has two different colors of wood on it, but it was about a quarter to a third the price about twenty years ago

44shooter

I believe any 357 magnum can take 38/44 loads, but few 38 specials can

44shooter

Call Ruger and they will make it right. They no charged me on rebarreling and refinishing a M77 that had been rechambered and ringed after I had agreed to pay for it.

44shooter

I would buy one every two weeks at that price

We haven’t been able to shoot foxes here for over 40 years. I heard it was the result of some foxhound owners in the state legislature. There are lots of grays and some reds, coyotes too, maybe a few red wolves left from the reintroduction. Plenty of cats running loose too, these canids need to tigh...

44shooter

Yes I agree a 45 doesn’t have to get bigger to kill. I meant if the round nose could deform just a bit so that is blunt but penetration is still there. It may not matter. I plan on developing a moderate load with swaged bullets in 44 mag. 900-1000 fps with dead soft lead should be nice in my Vaquero...

44shooter

If the roundnose is cast soft, will the bullet expand a bit to mitigate the difference? Seems roundish soft lead bullets were the norm for a few hundred years and slew all matters of critters.

44shooter

I think that flat nose will cut a bigger permanent wound channel. Then again, if you let the air out, they can’t go but so far.

44shooter

Everything is much higher than even five years ago. That price point is in line with a nice traditional bolt action rifle like a M70 Featherweight. The bargains and availability of the early oughts are no more.

Farmers work according to the sun regardless of what the clock says. Golfers can do the same.

44shooter

No, just trimmed magnum cases. Their handloading manual tells exactly where to trim to. Honestly with the likes of 444, 44, 357 etc, one seems to gain nothing of consequence using the pointy bullets. It’s not worth the effort of trimming and sequestering those cases. For example the 265 grain .429 H...

That is way more convenient than using optical screens. Can use this on busy public ranges, with groups of various skill, etc.

At least 40 cal FMJs tend to be flat points

The safety decocks it

I had a thread here about it. I was having inconsistent throws with my Hornady measure. Bought a pistol drum and had Hornady sent me a free metal baffle. Throwing much more precise charges now. My objective was 6.0 grains Unique. Got to 5.9 +/- 0.1 and called it good and loaded 45 acp. Aim to use th...

44shooter

He should probably read the cartridge stamp on the barrel

44shooter

I’ve shot 240, 270 and 300 grain bullets. All seem to be accurate enough out to 100 yards. My carbine has the factory bead with a Lyman tang peep. The 300 grain cast load from Federal has great penetration, as in through the long way on a deer. Can be a bit hitchy feeding though. All the jacketed bu...

44shooter

I’ve seen WRF ammo in my LCS recently. Will probably be there another 20 years

44shooter

A lot of practice loads like Winchester white box and UMC are no where near max and often less than standard specs and run well in most guns. In my 1911 even starting loads of Unique behind a 230 grain run just fine.

44shooter

Maybe Russian cases would work better? Will the 45 acp loads cycle an auto?
