    The ultimate Alaskan bear-stopper: a .35 Whelen Mini-G by Shuff’s Parkerizing. It’s a true “carbine”-length M1 (16.1” Criterion barrel).

    A lot depends on whether it’s been subject to Bubba-butchery. That receiver alone, if unmolested, could be worth some money to either a pre-War collector or an M1 fan wanting to build a “correct”...

    Anyone with these dinosaur-caliber rifles using 5744 for reduced loads, but at velocities that are still hunting-capable on non-dinos (e.g., deer, hogs)?

    I have a 404 Jeff, that’s why I’m asking.

    4.9-5.0grns of Bullseye duplicates the 230grn Mil hard-ball ammo.

    No need to push that bullet any faster unless you're a risk-taker.

    Which is hard to do anyway with over-pressured handloads likely to crack frames, bust brass, and shorten spring life. :roll:

    Bumping this thread, as I have a .404 Jeff as well.

    That was me, using coated H&G-pattern 230grn HC boolits. 4.8 - 5.0grns of Bullseye pretty much duplicates a Mil ball load. I’ve even shot it in 3” 1911s (Defender size) with excellent results. In...

    Old Col. Coot especially contradicted himself (typically without explaining why) in his statements in support of his Scout Rifle theory.

    Don’t need to.

    The old coot said a lot of contradictory things over time, as well as offering up pontifications on non-gun topics well beyond his range of personal experience.
