I do shoot lighter and heavier bullets in my 45-70’s and 45-90’s but you CANNOT go wrong with this bullet and a 30-1 mix. Extremely accurate and hits like a freight train.

What Greg says all day long. Personally my favorite is the RCBS 405 grain cast but I’ve shot everything from 300 grain to 535 grains. The trick is this, I’m not a speed demon. If 500 grain bullets...

Love my Marlins but never owned one in 357. A decade or so back the Rossi 92’s we’re running around $400 so I bought a couple….hated them, 38spl wouldn’t feed right, rough action, etc.

Then I...

I’ve never been enamored of the 99’s although I’ve got one in TD 303 Savage, again price and availability would both be issues, especially availability as I’ve been waiting almost a year for a Ruger...

I’ve got a 257R on a 1910 Mex Mauser action all ready to go, however, finding a stock to fit this oddball (but excellent..) Mex Mauser action is unique unto itself. Not a large ring, not a small...

Dude if you will watch this video, this guy shows the easiest way to find out COL for a specific bullet in a single shot:

Wish I could post pics, I just scored a REALLY nice 1974 made pre warning, pre crossbolt safety in 45-70. Absolutely stunning, still waiting for one of Rugers new 1895 SBL rifles from one of four...

Best one I ever used (keep in mind this was 35 years ago….) was when I was younger and in terrific shape (nothing had broken…yet) was called a Monster Maul. I had tried all kinds of things, regular...

What a beautiful collection!

Hey T-Bird,

If you’ve got feeding/jamming issues and have any ability at all to work on your rifle, go to:

Www.stevesguns.com (or web search for Steves Gunz if I mucked it up…)

And get his...

LAWYERS……since the 80’s they all have the cross bolt safeties….

Kinda got late on this one but Wards is THE source for antique 22 boxes as well as center fire, guns, sporting memorabilia etc. Even if you don’t buy it’s a VERY good price indicator as well as some...

Thanks for the compliments guys! It’s only the second non safety Marlin I’ve been able to get my hands on, this one is nice besides where scope blocks were mounted someone scratched it pretty good...

Just picked it up today, she’s a beauty! 1974 manu, pre-safety, pre-warning etc. *almost* flawless! Love these things!

THIS ^^^^^^^^^ all day long. You *may* have to trim brass back to length at some point but with the loads I shoot I’ve never had to ——- and RIGHT ON about the 500grain bullets and slower loads. I too...

You should be fine, I have several Marlin 45-70’s, none of which are CB’s nor do they have microgroove. Not certain if any 45-70’s were MG or not, mine are not.

If you’re not playing speed demon...

I’ve been in the same boat for almost 9 months now (LOL) ever since Ruger released the new Marlin SBL 45-70’s. I’ve *almost* spent the money I’ve set aside for another rolling block, Sharps, take...

Just watched “Gun Stories” with Joe Mantegna and he did a special on Cabot Arms making a complete set of 1911’s right and left handed. Out of my price range —- $4.5 million but interesting all the...

I’m a Ruger nut but a couple of years ago my wife made me (due to another brand, NOT Ruger) take back a 357 that immediately failed and could have become dangerous and told me please buy something...

In the beginning YES, they would seize your account if it had any funds in it and hood it hostage. BUT, since eBay bought them not so bad, I recently bought a 410 barrel for my Bond Arms derringer no...

I’ve been wanting a Ruger old/new army for a couple of years and wil NOT pay what they go for, probably why I’ve been waiting 8 months for a new Ruger SBL.

The last time I waited 8-9 months for...

Farqueharson tool? AKA Ruger #1?
