Two big questions: when will stocking dealers be supplied and the per pound will be??.... Not many dealers, shops, and chain stores are sticking black powder these days due to the recent updates and much more stringent storage requirements. My LGS who always used to stock BP let his license go beca...

I’m pleasantly surprised at the balance and feel of the little R92, even at 24”. Cycling the action, it is very light, although the trigger has some creep. The wood to metal fit is also pleasantly acceptable, and the dark wood against the stainless is nice. This example is a much nicer specimens th...

Shortages like the most recent one, happen frequently enough that if one is not sufficiently prepared then that's on them. The firearm industry is like any other. If they don't keep the public interested in buying the new and shining things, they won't be around long. jb 8) I get that. That's why I...

If we can start getting .358 bullets made again, I'm all for it. Like some others have stated above, I don't understand all the criticism. If something new fits a need or even just a want, why get all wound up about it? jb 8) I'd guess lingering frustration due to persisting shortages of the old st...

I doubt that the velocity will be 'substantially' enhanced by the 24" barrel. It could even be less. I could totally be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that (for example) a .22 lr will be faster out of a 16" barrel than 24" barrel because at some point, once max velocity is achieved then ...

I can't offer gunsmithing advice, but I can say a pistol cartridge chambered 16" Trapper is a joy to shoot and carry. The two are a a peas n carrots match.

I don’t hate the idea of it. I get who it is marketed to. I don’t live in those places nor do I understand their regulations. If a shot is unsafe at 2800 fps it is unsafe at 2200. I don’t have a need or desire for it. Now if I come across a deal later…. I don’t see it lasting although I know it’s b...

My brother has a somewhat older Rossi "Puma" 92, stainless, 44mag, 16" barrel. The darn thing is functional and accurate despite it's safety on the bolt. But then again, new Winchester have the tang safety and some of us have learned to at least tolerate it. But anyway, he is very ple...

I'll bet that when Ruger decides to release their new Marlin 336 this cartridge will be an option. I've been discussing this cartridge in a lever rifle enthusiast group on MeWe over the last couple days. From what we have been able to find there are four states that have a case length limit of 1.800...

Well, it's not a Rossi but I just recently picked up a very near new modern Winchester 1892 Short Rifle in 45 Colt. It's my first '92 and just as ol John Moses intended, is perfectly matched with pistol cartridges. I really really like it in every way. I also have a tang safety Win 94 Trapper in 45 ...

I believe thats correct, brass can be made from 444. Its also been in stock with Starline pretty regularly. The butt stock is pretty minor, one screw and you can swap it out for another one, which can be had online from various sources like parts outfits or ebay. Any post-war butt stock should fit ...

A few years back my brother picked up a current S&W model 60 that is chambered for 357. I own a 4" S&W 29-2, a 6.5" 629 Classic and a 5" S&W 460V, all with hardwood grips ... So when I tell you that little 60 with full 357 was flat out miserable to shoot, you can take my w...

If the price is right I would buy it. You can always add the 375 later. You just don't come across a 356 very often. Very much agree with this! And I agree on the raised comb, I really don't like it on a 94. Does the 356 in question have a crossbolt safety? If not, buy it YESTERDAY. Even if it does...

The 356 is a fine cartridge just I’ve never been a big 35 cal fan . I liked the 375 WIN more all be it not by much , but if push came to shove and I only had a single leveraction mine will be a 444 .

I didn't like looks of the raised comb of my 356, but once you put a scope on it makes sense and you will embrace it. I have a 2X7 on mine and it one of my favorites.

The point about it working in the AR platform is valid.

It is almost impossible to define a 'need' that one of the hundreds of existing cartridges won't fill. 375 Win, 357 Maximum, 35 Remington, and several others are about the same performance, and would fit the same actions by and large. Yep, 375 Win, 38-55, 45-70....and all the oodles of lever rifl...

Not really a "brand new" cartridge at all. Was introduced by Winchester at the 2019 Shot Show to address a perceived problem of straight-wall-cartridge-compliant deer-hunting states requirements. Yes, a 45-70 would fit the bill but why knock yourself around when something with the ballist...

If you want a straight walled legend, look no further than the 45-70.

Well said

I hope to acquire an original one day. I'm glad someone out there is getting otherwise defunct old rifles back into useable condition. With the newest 1876 being over 120 years old, any of them are worth it to me.

I have a Rough Rider that's about ten years old now. It's the standard 6" barrel with fixed sights and has the LR and Mag cylinder. Aside from tending to shoot a bit high and left, it's never failed me and is always fun to wage war on cans and bottles with. Shorts and subsonics are also fun wit...

S&W recently introduced a new X-Frame chambered in 350L. Seems to me an X-Frame would be one of very few options to chamber a true 375 Win for.. and I'm not even sure the big X-frame cylinder is long enough without taking some measurements. It's definitely up to the task of handling the pressure...

I have an original 1876, in 45-75, that’s just a joy to shoot. Heavy 26” Octagon with long range sight and set trigger.

You have a beautiful lever gun there, and anything Turnbull is Pretty much perfection.

As a proud owner of a roughly 1980 made top eject 375, I'll cast another vote to leave the 375 as is and enjoy it. Definitely a handloaders cartridge, but just the reactions from those who say to you "30-30 eh?" when you answer that question is worth it. Usually spurs good conversation. 🙂....
