I have a M92 Winchester rifle in 38WCF ( built 1911) and a matching Colt New Service in the same caliber (built 1907) Both were carried by my Grandfather in the 19 20-37 time as a Volunteer Deputy Sheriff in Mississippi. He was a cotton farmer and took the job because it included a telephone.

I still shoot a Garand at Highpower Matches. I bought a Blue Sky 1945 Springfield Garand that would keyhole at 50yds!!. The barrel stamp was so deep that you could feel it with a tight cleaning patch. I accepted the challenge!! It took a year, but I now have a very accurate M1. The only item...

Most of the bases I have been to have a turn around just before the actual gate.

I know that the USMC is just as bad. I was put into a "light duty" pool after getting 3 ribs cracked in training. Because of my previous "secret" security rating I was placed at a desk where I would read and modify reports that were to be released for public use. There was a 3 month backlog...

The only 16.5" lever gun I could recommend with those loads aint made no more. Winchester m94 "Trapper" still out there but not as affordable as before. Oneshooter

When I was shooting Sharps rifles in competition we would have to call a halt on the range on windless humid days. After 3-4 shots from 20-30 big bore buffalo rifles you could not see the 200yd chickens, not to mention the 500yd rams.

I am VERY old school. My recommendation would be to get / build a 44", 50cal, 1-72 twist full stock flint lock and learn to shoot it. Then you will have a proper ML rifle that will kill deer all day long out to 100yds. Like I said, I am VERY old school.

Except for the Marines On 7 Dec. 1941 the US Marine Corps had a rifle and the men to use it. The Standard issue M1903A1 with a star gauged National Match barrel, 8 x Unertl scopes. Ammunition was National Match 145gr ammo. http://olive-drab.com/od_other_firearms_rifle_m1941usmc.php

All of these story's make me glad I have my own 400yd range behind the house.

If you plan to hunt with "it". Then check your local laws, some states have outlawed "them" for hunting during ML season. Oneshooter Livin in Texas

One dram is 27.5 grains. Try 2 1/2drams (68-70gr) of Pyro RS. Top that with a modern shotcup, before loading it put some stiff lube in the cusion part, 1 1/8oz of shot and crimp. As a lube, try a 50/50 mix of Bore Butter and beeswax, or crisco/beeswax in the same formula. Oneshooter...

At Iwo Jima the Marines would locate a cave and mark it with smoke. One of the BB's offshore would fire a single 14" 1200lb HE round at the cave. The Marines would call in corrections as needed. The BB's were only 10,000 yard offshore so the HE rounds would strike at about 2000fps! A 14" 1500lb...
