I'm not sure the book is in on the so-called enhanced energy, high energy, and light magnum loads with older technology projectiles pushed at several hundred fps more velocity....particularly in closer range shots. The Nosler, as with the German projectiles on which they are based, was...

ThreadKiller and H&H Hunter: Sorry I misdirected the suggestion for the Fed factory 250grain Woodleighs. Obviously I didn't scroll down far enough when I addressed my suggestion to H&H Hunter. H&H Hunter: Previous reply seems to have been lost. I surely haven't used the Woodleigh's in as...

H&H Hunter: Dunno if they're still in the system, but my pre-64 70 seems to like FEDERAL's 250 grain WOODLEIGH's. Got a case at a good deal from one of the distributors several years ago when they were overstocked and have been happy with accuracy and performance. Also offered the same...

Lyman's work. Love their old 48's on Mausers and 70's and even the early 57's and 66's. Have a Marble on my 1910 vintage 94 in 32Spl, but in that vintage, no windage. They do have a lovely detent which holds the tang in the lower position and locks it in place in the raised slot . Too bad...

Good shooting, Ithacaman. Let us know what you end up doing and how the apertures you select work for you.

Personally, I don't think there is a definative best between the Marbles and Lymans. Marbles adjust for W & E, Lyman for Elevation only thus requiring some shimming of base or moving of the foresight. The Marble is bulkier and the Lyman trimmer and that can make some difference on your thumb...

I know your friend is looking for projectiles rather than ctgs, but since you also noted that he was looking for projectiles since the 250-grain Winchester ST factory load was discontinued, you might suggest that he take a look at the BUFFALO BORE 348 Win ammo loaded with the 250 grain J.F.N...

Needing a new gun is pretty irrelevant to the urge to own a new gun, but I find that reverting to the "I don't need another handgun, rifle,or shotgun" to be useful everytime I find something I like but don't have the disposable income to pick it up.

A number of options exist for irons for the 1886, though the better ones are pricey and may entail some effort on your part to find the right dealer. Personally, I wouldn't spend the money to put real period sights on the Japanese made gun--and especially one with the lawyer safeties. I...

Recognize the original poster seemed to be looking for some sort of para-military like pistol calibre carbine, though several folks have suggested the handy little Marlin and Winchester lever guns. I'd like to chip in my ha'penny's worth for the handy little saddle carbines. It's also hard...

Never been overly impressed with the Parker Hale centerfire offerings--especially since what was geared for US Export tended to have shiny stocks a some Brit interpretation of American stock design. The actions were Spanish made Mausers and, for me at least, there were better Mauser actions...

Kinda depends on what kind of weapon and what your purpose is. For something like the AR-15 family, my own military experience has led me to eschew slings and think that a good piece of pcht shroud line or, a little cusher, a piece of cargo pcht shroud line, works when you must free your...

Ruger Extension rings are available in the system. They are essential to mounting a short straight tube scope like the 1.5-5X on a Number one or 77. Nothing wrong with Ruger mounts in my limited opinion. Knowledgeable hunters for years have suggested that integral mounts are the way to go...

Patton called his S&W 357 his "killing gun." though it doesn't appear that he actually killed with it. If memory serves, his primary kill with the SAA 45 was General Cardenas, the chief of Los Dorados, Villa's body guards. Lovely picture of 2 bodies draped over the fender of his Dodge (?)...

Thanks much, 4thHorseman, Seems like a pleasant and non-hostile sort of place. Never know about computer glitches or whether one has trod some unclear line. Ed's book is pretty useful as is Applegate's...the latter is especially worth noting for his observations about the 38 Special being a...

Sorry you folks felt the need to delete my post recommending that the individual making the initial request for information check out Ed Lovette's THE SNUBBY REVOLVER. Seemed to me to be a useful approach to getting a quick study rather than opinions that are all too often based on no more than...
