badvibes, the 36 cal. 1858 Remington (Pietta) has bigger chambers than the 1851 colt clones from Pietta. With that said the 51 with a full load is about on par with a 380 acp round, but with a bigger starting hole.
As for the accuracy of my 1858 Remington in 36 cal is excellent and it has...
@DNS. LOL, okay that makes sense now. Also wanted to add cool youtube channel.
@ caribou. Looks like you and Agnes really cleaned up this year. Must have been a heck of a gut pile.;)
@jrdolall. Congrats, my 4 year old little girl has seen me bring home a few animals over the past few...

Okay, here we go. I know it is not much but got this for a hunt in some swamps (that way if i lost it I was not out too much) but it quickly became my favorite rifle to hunt with. It is a H&R Handi Rifle in .223. Thing is dead nuts accurate, especially with my hand loads.

I kinda love a light rain to, water gear is a must though. If it is a down poor I tend not to go out though. It can sure be hit or miss in the rain to. If you are hunting a path way to a water source forget about it.

Well let me put it this way, I have shot both deer and hog with my .223. For the hogs I went for head shots and lung shots. The hogs either drop right there with the head shot or ran 10 yards with the lung shot. As for the deer I try for the base of the neck or right behind the elbow. They...
I quite enjoy my Handi Rifle in .223 rem, ammo is cheap to practice with and I am dead nutz accurate with the thing. With 2 seasons under it's belt it has 5 Hogs and 2 deer under the belt, all with varying ranges from 300 yards to 50 yards. Before this it would have been the 30-30.
