Re: Cleanest burning powder for rifle/pistol cartridges

I still use Unique because it's so versatile. I will say CCI Blazer has some of the cleanest burning powder I've ever shot. It almost leaves no soot or residue at all. I shot 200 rounds and could barely tell I'd shot any. Would like to know what powder they use.

Re: Anyone hunt with a 24" barrel on a levergun...and why?

I have to agree that longer barrels hang better. Plus, the longer sight radius. I guess I'm just not old enough to feel the weight difference as some guys do. I packed a Shiloh Sharps #1 that weighs like 12 lbs. for two elk hunting seasons and the only thing I wish I had different was a sling.

The only issue with this rifle in 8mm Mauser is that it is regulated for the somewhat low potency 170 grain load. However, that load is pretty good on deer/hog sized game out to 100 yrds where you'd be using a hammer double. If you don't have any pipe dreams about what you're going to feed it, they...

Hey, Perry. You can get some new screws for that old piece and then if you don't have the right screwdrivers, get'em. You can treat the screws so they match the piece, but they won't be all buggered up. That'd drive me nuts.
