A friend of mine wants to use his Browning lever gun to shoot silhouette. He says the rams are set at 200yds. Most of the loads I've found for the >44 mag are 200 grain boolits at 150yds. Would...

I recently got a Kimber Custom II .45 auto. I bought a OWB Kydex holster off the internet. Well, I don't have a problem with weapon retention. The holster is so tight that I have to take the holster...
Plus one on the m36 3in Heavy Barrel with a Tyler-T-GRIP and pancake holster. Loaded with wadcutters, hollow base up, it's a potent package. My Combat Masterpiece and model 67 are not as concealable....
HK USP Elite with 260gr. Speer or 10mm G20 with Lone Wolf barrel. The Speer bullet has been discontinued and the HK leads with plain base boolits. I'm rationing the two boxes I have left. The G20 is...

36 grains of 3031, a 405 gr. cast boolit, chronos 1275 fps out of my 1884. This is using a standard primer and Remington brass.

I'd be inclined to shoot it with the bulged barrel. If the bulge is minor, it may even improve accuracy. Before the flame war begins, let me give a for instance. One of my 1911's is a parts gun...

Baron. 8.5 grains of Unique or 6.0 grains of 700X should give at or pretty close to the velocity that you're looking for. Both loads are from Lyman's 47th reloading handbook rifle data for the .45...

36 grains of 3031, large rifle primer and a plain base 405 grain boolit average 1275fps out of an 1884 trapdoor. I've shot them in the Winchester/Miroku 1886 take-down rifle at steel gongs out to 405...
Plus one on the Beretta 84. A scaled down 92FS. Fun to shoot, easy to clean and fits my big hands.

My college room mate introduced me to small game hunting. When we made the move from shotguns to .22's, he bought a 550. I bought a 552 BDL., the 550's uptown cousin. He purchased his 550 for fifty...

The only Pedersoli I have is a Lepage target .44. Before I got that, I shot our blackpowder fun match with the lyman plains pistol in .54 caliber. It is capable of excellent accuracy. The only...

fatelk, I've had the same experience with .45acp ricochets. One of our range officers was shooting at clays on the 50 meter berm. Heard the unmistakable buzzing of a returning bullet. Hit the deck in...

Condolences to his family. He was a good old boy in the best sense of the phrase. Made do with what was at hand. Godspeed.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I'll throw one more into the mix. A friend has offered 20 boxes of PMC 40-65 ammunition and a set of Lee dies for a can't refuse price. He had a line on a Browning...

I have an early eighties Ruger #1V in .223 that seldom sees the light of day. Bolt guns and AR's now attend to all matters .223. I'm considering selling it, but also open to re-barreling or re-boring...

What an elegant rifle. You have real talent.

20 grains of Swiss 3f and a patched round ball and you pretty much own small game out to 50 yards.

+1 on osteodoc's post. I've had my Honda mower for 5 years with no complaints. Mine usually starts on the first pull though. Knock on wood.
