I can understand your concern. I'm hoping that I find enough load data on the .38-55 - we'll see.
I wouldnt say out of the question, but I want to avoid that additional complication since I'm...

Looks like Rim Rock has some "Premium Bullets" that would do the job and at $80./500

I appreciate that info, I dont want a load thats going to cripple a deer and now that I think of it, most references to the Unique did not state for hunting loads.
I am certainly open to any other...
Forum: Cast Boolits
Thanks for the input. From what I've read, the thinner Starline brass should avoid any issues with chambering the .381 boolits.
But I'll make up a dummy round as you suggest, to be certain.

Anyone have some loads that they use for deer with this 260 gr. boolit?
Forum: Cast Boolits
Thanks for the info. I'd be using .381 since my rifle measures .380.
Any experience on game with them? Wondering how they are on penetration along with what type of entry and exit they make.

I got my Lee Loader and RCBS Cowboy dies for Christmas, I already bought the Starline brass so next I need to decide on the right boolits.
Anyone have experience with these hard cast boolits as...

Hey Newtire, thanks for that idea............. but I'm proud to say I saw an older thread on
the matter and I sent Buckshot a PM at 4pm yesterday.
Waiting anxiously for his reply.

Well I guess it IS a small world, been talking to Wind on the MO forum. He's was using a modified MVA base for a Stevens. He said MVA now makes a correct fitting base but they are a little high for...

Pietro, looks like you were editing while I typed my post #7........... just to confirm,
I did call Marbles for the exact numbers you posted and the tech advise me that the
bolt will hit the stem. ...

Correction to my above post...........
I found out that the 1893 I spoke of, with the two large tang screws, had actually been altered by a previous owner.
So it appears my configuration is...
Forum: Leverguns
Thanks Pietro, I will go with any effective tang site that does not require me to drill/tap my tang and that does not interfere (get hit) by the bolt.
I have checked with Lyman and Marbles -...
Forum: Leverguns
One other point......... Marbles makes a tang site also for the 1893 and it also takes a hit from the bolt. I spoke (email) to them and they say they expect to have a new configuration out by around...

Thanks Smithywess, my gun was manufactured in 1903 but must have been before the receivers were drilled and tapped. Too bad, it would have been an alternative since I see that other companies are...

Anyone using a Uberti #71205 peep sight?
I'd like to get some measurements to see if it can be fitted to my 1893 Marlin.

Forum: Leverguns
Anyone tried fitting this Uberti # 71205 peep onto the tang of an 1893 Marlin?
It looks like it would be fairly flexible in the position of the front tang screw and the post seems to sit back far...
Forum: Leverguns
I'm looking for a peep sight for my 1893 since I cant hit squat with the open sights anymore.
I understand that with a peep sight you want the aperture as close to you eye as possible so a tang...

I'm shooting open sights, I'd like to remove the bolt and bore sight the gun since that works well for me with my model 70 bolt action. At least I'd be well onto the paper.

Thanks for that Coyotebait, sounds like you got it figured out.
