    Marlin 1895G 45/70 for Elk at 150yds?

    Most of my 350gr bullets are Hornady Interlock flat points. I also have some Speer and Rainier flat points. The Hornady is my favorite, so far. Loaded to 2100fps, it hits hogs and whitetail like a hammer, but all of the shots have been under 100yds. My Nosler 300gr Partitions also work...

    Carrying a snubbie in your coat

    I've seen two coats that were used in the manner you describe. One was a woolen dress coat and one was a nylon jacket. The wool coat had a few small scorch marks and the nylon jacket had large burns and melted areas. Of course, both had a nasty little hole! Depending on your jacket/coat...

    Let's See Your Ruger .357s

    Just plain old Rugers. Those are the grips that came with the revolver.

    No Speedies? Feeling lonely here with the only Speed Six in the bunch (unless I'm blind and missed one...) :)
