Re: .40-90 Sharps Bottle Neck & Shiloh 1874 just for Bill in
A great woman and a great rifle. Somewhere, you'll find that magic load. If a heavy cast 35 penetrates and kills all out of proportion, that 40 should do the trick on just about anything that walks.

Re: Moderate 357 Mag. loads for 185 gr. Cast Bullets
Thank you fellas! Ok, Unique it will be to start and will look for Trailboss if needed. Thats serious penetration at low velocity OI. Shooting this little Bond is gonna be "interesting." Hopefully I can come up with a pleasant shooting load so she can enjoy practice with it.

Re: Moderate 357 Mag. loads for 185 gr. Cast Bullets
That helps Tycer. I may want above Cat Sneeze....probably even a shade above the Cowboy Burrito Gas load. My theory is, even at reduced velocity, that heavy 180+ grain flat nose is gonna penetrate. So, maybe my Unique would be a good place to start?

Moderate 357 Mag. loads for 185 gr. Cast Bullets
So, I am pretty sold on the 357 Mag. With cast 180 grain loads. Before I sent my Security Six off to Brian Cosby for some work I was shooting the Buffalo Bore version of that load, which is pretty stout out of a 2.75 inch revolver. Since Tycer was kind enough to send me some 185's here a while back(...

I was just at the Cabela's near Austin, TX and there was about 0 used levers on the racks there. The last time I was at the one near Hamburg, PA there were lots. Have to get back there and check out the scene. Local pusher has some used on the racks but prices are high there from what I remember.

Maybe the cause was less of the 95's drawbacks and more of how good the Model 94 was/is. The 30/30 was a sizzling cartridge for the time as well.
