Hello! I am Lever Nut that has been lurking here for probably 15 years. I have learned a lot from you Gents. I retired from the Natural Gas Industry
a year ago and have had a little more time to reload and shoot my levers and I thought I may as well participate in the fun on here.
I have been collecting Winchesters Levers and copies since about 2000. JBowen

Thanks for the welcome!
I am headed to the range this morning to shoot my .356 Win BB94 and do my final adjustment of the scope ( :shock: ) . I finally got some 180 gr.
Speer SPFN and they shoot really good pushed by BLC(2). This is her year in the deer woods.

Blaine--- I will see if I can get some pictures today while I have it out.

I figured out I was getting an error. I think the pictures are too big and I am now working on shrinking them. I am not very good at editing photos.

Sorry, that is not an image file. ".zip" is telling the computer that the data in that file needs to be unzipped to be used by people.

What operating system are you using? Windows and most Linux systems have simple editing tools built in. Apple too, but IDK anything about that one.

Grizz, I finally got them on here. The target photos swapped places though. I also changed the settings on my phone photos to "Medium" and "Most Compatible"
Anyway, I have learned a few things today!
Thanks for your patience and help,
