What's the optimum barrel length for the .454 Casull in a levergun? I'm thinking of getting a Puma Legacy.

Hi, I posted this at the S&W Forum but I figured THR gets more traffic so I'm posting it here, too. I wanted to replace the factory rubber grips with wood ones on my S&W 1006. Now how do I exactly remove the grips? I punched out the obvious holding pin. The grips stayed and wouldn't budge...

Anybody tried the Magtech SCHP 44mag on game? Or is this more for SD? It's only 200gr in weight.

I've always ordered my ammo supplies from them for the last few years. Federal American Eagle (45ACP & 40S&W) used to go for < $10 a box if you buy one whole case (1000 rounds). Now their 45ACP FMJ is almost $17.00. The 44Mag 240gr JHP is used to get for $18.50 is now $27.42. Wow! I guess...

Anybody chrono'd the velocity of a typical 158gr 357mag round, say going @1300 out of a 4" revolver, out of a Marlin 1894C (which has an 18.5" barrel)?

For reliability, accuracy and overall performance out-of-the box, without needing to tinker with it -- which one would you get (considering their prices are in the same ballpark): Springfield M1A loaded or Scout OR Bushmaster A3 .308 Win.

Has anybody seen the new Marlin 1895RL chambered for the 480 Ruger/475 Linebaugh? I just did a search on GB and there's none to be found. Also, it seems that the ballistics of the Linebaugh seem to be up there with the 45/70. Typical 45/70 400gr velocity is 1350fps (not Buffalo Bore); the...
