my grandpa gave me a 30-40 krag with a box of bullets(winchester 180gr silvertips) and 9 empties. its a springfield armory model 1898 that has been "sporterized" (meaning a "new" piece of wood) and a 22" barrel. the serial # says that it was born in 1903. all i have to do now is get a set of...

i've been wanting mgm(suppliers fault) to get a 444 marlin for my tc encore. i started in feburary, and i have brass, powder, and 200 of 265gr hornady fp, but no barrel. i'm going to get it, but a little cartridge is starting to crawl up my back. the 338 federal is the bug. i haven't got...

i was thinking(yes, again), what would be a good deer load in the encore under 250 yards, use 200 grain bullets, and not knock my block off(had a stroke). i am getting a 444 marlin with bellms muzzle brake( as soon as mgm buys the barrel), and i have a 6.5 creedmoor, which does an marvelous job...

i am a small caliber guy, and the only thing i used to have was a nef 45-70. twenty years have gone by and i feel the need for a big bore. this one will be in my t/c encore, laminted stock, and factory heavy mgm 20" barrel in 444 marlin. before i go any further, i had a stroke and my right half...

i have a question about lead bullets. now i don't know, but if i had a bullet made from "pure" lead(comes out of lead water services) can i shoot it out of a 45-70(400gr-450gr) from 1300-1400fps for deer? or does the lead mess up the rifling? i don't have anything to melt antimony. the lead is...

what bullet should i use for a marlin 1895 45-70? i handload, so thats not a problem. this is for my younger brother, wants at least a 400gr bullet, hunts deer in west virginia, and i can do cast bullets( gas checked or no gas checked)(well, whoever makes them!) or jacketed bullets. thanks!!!

whats this years favorite gun/caliber for deer season? i bought mine in encore with a 16 1/4 MGM barrel with a high plains custom gunstock( its a rifle). recoil is nothing to worry about, a 243 it seems like. i have had a stroke, so my right side is about 15-20% good, so i can tell :D;) 120...
