Given the options you mention, I would go with the 44 mag. I have taken a couple of whitetails with my96/44.
Forum: Leverguns
I have one in 45-70 and 1 in 450 Marlin and get good results from both.
I have an ultradot on my S&W 500. I was skeptical at first. I have put around 700 rounds with absolutely no problems. Great red dot.
I have a Burris Fastfire II on my 44 mag and like it also.

Yep, I can put 5 out of 5 shots in a paperplate at 100 yards with the Lee 440. Usually 3-4 inches. Im using a red dot sight. Pretty sure with a scope I could cut that in half. Im sure the gun and...

Ok, I like the idea of owning something in this cartridge. What are my options? Where do I go to buy? Looks like I saw a shotgun, if so does it have a sleeve or was that a double rifle?
Forum: Leverguns
I always get a kick out of these "which is better" threads. Pick the one you shoot best and use it. If I was proficient with a 30-30 but sucked with a pump gun, Im carrying the 30-30.
What the...

All I use is gas checked boolits in my 1895 GBL. I haven't tried any PB's so I cannot offer any advice. I can say that I am shooting 2.5 inch groups at 100 yds with open sights. Im shooting 440 gr...

I will second the 96/44 if you can find one. I love mine. IIRC the largest boolit I could get to cycle was a 300 gr.

Just make sure your thumb stays below the string. I can tell you from experience it is painful and expensive. Granted I have unusually large hands.
You would think all the lawyer stuff in the...

Im like most of the others. I hunt alone most of the time.

An interesting read. I have crossed deer hunting in Sweden off my bucket list. A shame you guys have to put up with that.
Forum: Hunting with CB's
I have dispatched more than 1 with my 450 Marlin. Not much difference between it and a 45-70. Great choice of weapons. Congrats!

A 30 gallon automotive compressor works great too, just keep away from the muzzle when you hit the air.
No need to size for ML.

Those are Purdy. Wish I knew enough about my lathe and milling machine to make a mold.

No where within 4 hours of me. I never cared until recently when I bought a flintlock. I always used subs in my other guns. I had toi bite the bullet and order it from Grafs and eat the hazmat fee.

Bought my first flintlock a few weeks back. I hope to fulfill the same item on my bucket list. Congrats and thanks for sharing.
Forum: Muzzleloading.
I just bought one on GB and it is going to the range tomorrow. I paid $335 for it. I think it is called a St. Louis Hawken but not sure. I have never bought one so who knows if it is a good price. It...

Just bought my first flintlock and tomorrow will be its maiden voyage to the range. Great thread.

A tree rat got under my hood and chewed up power steering hoses and the wiring going to the tranny. The day before hunting season two years ago.
They disappeared from my property. Wonder what...
Last night we limited. 15 birds 45 shots for me. This morning got 8 but will not talk about how many times I shot either.
Darnedest thing happened. I shot 2 pigeons that were flying with dove....
Sounds like a good day.
My best was 15 birds with 13 shots but that was back when I hunted every day during dove season.
I tripled on one. Only time that ever happened. Had a witness too! :)

I am hunting 200 miles from home and they are for two of us plus there will be two others coming that may or may not be prepared. It is for a four day hunt. Don't want to count on Wally World having...
