Good looking rifle! I'm glad that you got a good one.

Bring back the .44 Henry rimfire cartridge. I am sure that it could be done with some good effect. I'm thinking a modern aluminun alloy "Blazer" type case with lead boolit.

Don't let the sprout consume too much of the converted starch. I have always heard that when the sprout reaches the length of the seed, roast it.

The Finn trigger pull is much nicer with my M39's than it is with standard 91-30's etc.

I have the added goodies for the 1886 rounded up and the Lee mold is the 340 grain .457 diameter. Maybe it will do good using these with hard lead and unsized?
