For me, it comes down to muscle memory and doing things the same way. YMMV

You ever use a 1911? You don’t run them at half-cock when carrying them. My point is that moving between two different safety systems is what gets people in trouble. I see your point. My first...

Having owned both a Ruger 9mm PCC and a Henry Big Boy .357, my vote is solid towards the Henry .357. You can shoot light .38s or heavy .357s. It’s cheap to load and it’s a much larger bump in...

I guess I just don’t understand how it’s costing people successful shots. Cock the hammer and use the safety just like a bolt gun. That way, you know the safety is off when you are ready to pull the...

Yes, heavy with creep. I have a new Marlin in .44 Mag.

I have similar rural property to what your describing with plans to build during retirement. With that said, cameras of various types can be your eyes and ears while your away. Wireless signals can...

Give me a rubber pad over a steel plate any day of the week. Rubber pads hold on the shoulder unlike metal.

It was definitely Unique and 10 gr was verified with a beam scale and an RCBS electronic scale. The leading I removed after shooting 100 rounds was considerable. I did use a Lee FCD which may have...

Hickok,
Would you mind sharing your load data? I'm concerned I created an over-pressure situation with the 10 gr of Unique and lead stripping in the barrel.

The bullets are .430 and are 240 gr and are a bevel base as seen below. Targets on paper were round and did not have any appearance of yaw.

I recently tried the new Ruger/Marlin 1894 Classic in 44 Mag. I was shooting 10.0 gr Unique behind a Hi-Tek coated Missouri Bullet TCFP in Starline brass. The MB TCFPs have an 18 BHN according to...

What is the bore diameter of the new Marlin 1894 .44 Mag? Did they use the rifle SAAMI specs or the handgun SAAMI bore specs? I’d like to be able to shoot .430 Cast.

Just picked up a Lyman Brass Smith powder measure. I’m looking forward to trying it out and comparing it to the Redding BR powder measure.

I have the nitride version and it does offer enhanced corrosion resistance over just stainless. If it’s still the case, I believe CVA offered lifetime warranty on the nitride barrel from corrosion....

I have a love/hate relationship with ARs. I prefer a bolt gun over any other action. However, for coyote hunting or a prairie dog town, there’s nothing better. Also, ARs can be made adaptable for...

I load 31.0 gr of IMR 3031 behind a 150 gr Winchester Power Point @ 2.550 OAL. This gives me 2,247 fps out of a Marlin 336 with a 20" barrel. I was concerned this was pushing it so I ran the load...

I tried some MBC 240 gr .430 cast bullets in my R92 and they tumbled.
I’m now trying a different route. I bought some zero JSP .240 gr .431 bullets. Has anyone tried them? What did you think of...

NECG picatinny rear peep sight. It’s what I’m mounting on my Rossi 92.

I just purchased a 20" SS R92 in .44 mag a couple months back. Here is what I have learned.
The rifle will NOT shoot Missouri Bullets .430 TCFB 240 gr Hi-Tek coated bullets with 10.0 gr of Unique....

Look at the bright side. There shouldn't be any rust with all the paint coverage.

I really like what Ruger has done with the 1895s. However, I'm anxious to see something (336 and 1894s) other than that 1895.

Dad has one of the last 336 JMs before being sold to Remington. The gun shots excellent with a max load of LeverE and a 160 FTX. However, the action is not that smooth and worse than that, the barrel...

I really like a Henry Big Boy in .357. For the money, the Rossi 92 is a great value.
