I haven't used one rifle all season for years- but I lost a lifelong friend this year so I'm dedicating this season to him. His only deer rifle was a 25-06 so I will use mine all season. Tell me what y'all are using! Best, Thomas.

rimfirenice, what's the loadRemington 14 1/2 38-40
If I get out an 835 mossy. its been trying on and off for a few years, just no hair got in the scope or on the bead yet.
May you hands be warmed on a frosty day.

I'm using the Lyman 40143 bullet and 25.7 gr Rx7 Win cases. Accurate load in my Rem.14 1/2
Marlin 336 in 35 Rem. with RCBS 35-200, Ruger #1 in 270 with j-words, and Ruger Bisley Hunter in 41 Mag with Mihec 41-265. All are dialed in and ready to hunt.
Boy, I'll say! Take a Chevy Lumina at 3500 lbs. That is 24,500,000 grains, traveling at 88fps (60 mph).
That calculates into 421,243 foot pounds. Yep. Got my 45-70 beat by a pretty wide margin!
And yet......NO RECOIL!
Did you ever try anything a little heavier like this. Back before mine got stolen I would have like to put something like this in the ole 38wcf. I think it would have added to the thumper appeal as well as a bit deeper penetrating for those raking shots on those bigger animals.
to many Kbs to upload pic, so here is the link

Torn between or a combination of My Grandfather's 1894 .30wcf, my .308 Remington 700, my 300BLK, or 870 with a rifled barrel. Leaning towards the Winchester... its been a while since it has made it to deer camp.
This Muzzleloader season I carried a TC 370 gr .50 cal Maxi Ball in my CVA Optima -- saw a buck, but didn't have a shot.
Beginning this Saturday I will be carrying my Marlin 45-70 with a 350 gr Ranch Dog boolit. I think that I have a better chance of seeing hogs, so these may not be overkill after all...

Plomo, por favor!
