Hey THR Crew,
What's the front page on this round??
I came into this lever action big bore yesterday c/o my best friend. It used to belong to his Dad and now it's mine and I really want to fire it with him. You know, get him excited about shooting. Who knows, I may gift it back to him.
I have already ordered up new brass and bullets - Sierra 200 fp and Hornady 220 fp to start seeing how this thing will perform.
I have looked into a couple of different powders; RE-7, IMR, Win, which are listed in most of "the books".
My questions are:
1) How's it's recoil 1=22LR, 10= Worst recoil imaginable
2) Looks like it is good for short to medium range? How accurate??
3) Hunting; will it terminate any animal on the lower 48 states?
3) How does the brass hold up, how many times can you fill 'em up again??
(I know... I know... it depends on how hot the load, but any realistic idea?)
Thanks, Crew
