Would love to find more Unique . I agree with all the above and have shot many 240 swc over 8, 9, and 10 grains.

If you’re thinking small red dot (3.5 oz or less), take a look at their Mini Weig-a-tinny mount. I’ve used their full size mount on a couple Ruger revolvers, and just tried this mini. It’s pretty...

I really like my Henry .44 with a Skinner peep but I don’t know that I’ll hunt with it much as I tend to be “belt and suspenders” guy wanting a good scoped rifle when I’m in a tree.
I see CVA...

I’ve had good luck with it as well. My only complaint is that even the brand new cans don’t seem to have a good shelf life. My basement does get pretty cold, so maybe that has something to do with...

Thanks guys!
As an update:
I mounted a Leupold VX3 1.5-5x20 in Talley rings on the .45-70. Well, actually, first, I mounted it in quick detach low Warne rings in Warne steel bases, but it was...

The way it should be…in many cases! A perfect scope!

Tony’s Forends and Grips maybe? That’s an add that runs on the Specialty Pistols Forum.

I caved and order Somme j words too. Will report back with results. Hope I can shoot a peep sight!

I’ve been thinking the same thing for a long time as well. I’d love a .257 Bob and a .338 Federal to add to my .358 Win. I think a .45-70 instead of a .450 Marlin would be cool too.
It stinks...

I’m looking for info regarding running cast in a Henry 44 Big Boy and Henry 18.5” 45-70.

If you got hills like I do, you may want to look at the John Deere X758 if you are only mowing. Same engine as in the 1025, but AWD, single range hydro, and waaay more stable on hills. I went from 12...
I've had about 12-15 different single and double action .44 mag (and bigger) revolvers. I have found the most comfortable to be the Super Redhawk with a Hogue Tamer grip. The padded back strap really...
I'll second that. I have not had great luck with the regular Leupold quick release. I've worn out a few. Not so with the QRW. They are nice!

Is it a 29-? Or no dash? Anything with the rear sight rounded at the front should be drilled and tapped. 29-5 and later I believe. Another option if you want light and very simple is the Leupold...
I like the Ultradot Matchdot because it has a 2MOA dot as well as bigger dots if you choose. It is also not eye relief sensitive. For scopes on a revolver, the Burris 1.5-4 is abnormally long. I have...

Here's an updated photo. Re-shaped the stock a bit by tacking some thickness off the forearm and cheek area, put on a pad to lengthen LOP to about 14.35" and installed a Leupold Vari-X III...

Can't wait to shoot it. She's in near perfect condition. What a nice little gun. I do wish it had a less curved butt plate and some checkering, but it sure is light and handy.

I read an article a few years back that I liked a lot about this topic. My favorite aiming point is called the "golden triangle." it's essentially through the scapula where the spine dips low and...

Oh man, I love the .358 win in a BLR! Here's mine. It's a SHOT show gun never catalogued by Browning. Not exactly conventional, but I like hunting tools for hunting. 44032
I had one on my G2 Contender. It was fun, but I never really downloaded it much. I was shooting 300gr. With H4198 IIRC. I had to put tape on my finger between the tip and knuckle to keep from...

Thanks guys. I'm pretty certain a .476 will be great. I'll try other variables if my groups are less than stellar before I worry about BHN.
Forum: Cast Boolits
Would you recommend 20-21 BHN for mid level loads as well? I'm thinking of using Unique or something in that range for lighter than full house loads to learn the gun and for lengthier practice...
