If you are willing to load them singleshot there is. It's one reason I prefer 92's and 94's to Marlins. Load 4-5 grains of Red Dot into a .357 case and using a pencil (eraser end) or similar dowel seat a .360 round ball directly over power for compressed load. It is quiet like an air rifle (subsoni...

Rifleman336

I use two .360 RB in either 38special cases or .357. Two .360 RBs will weigh approx 140 grs, I use data for 148 gr WC Target loads paying attention to WC seating depth and not seating the first ball any deeper. Have fun That sounds tricky, Iknow on can get in to real trouble, real fast when loading...

So far so good, but I'd like to see a better picture for the rear sight, for I don't recall any adjustable sights being available for the SP-101. So I'd like to see that set up and consider it for my handgun.

Another option is the 75gr "collar button" bullet, usually loaded in a stack of 3 over a relatively light charge (say, 3gr titegroup) so that the group doesn't exit the barrel faster than 800fps or so. Very quiet and death on small things. I also load a pure lead 158gr cast HP and a 180gr...

Rifleman336

Rifleman336, Yes, it's called a 147gr wad cutter. Load them to target velocities and they work wonders for squirrels and bunnies. I kind of like the longer HB WC bullets as they seem to stabilize best in a variety of bores. They can be used in both 38 and 357 cases with ease. Joe Yes, I know of tha...

[quote="Old Ironsights"]You aim at the tree branch just below the squirrel but above the centerline of the branch. The impact of the bullet on the branch blows wood fragments into the soft underside of the squirrel, rendering it dead or senseless so you can go and pick it up &/or dispa...

Trooper Joe, mentioned that he uses .38's for squirrals and rabbit. It got me woundering if there is a way to use a round ball and a light charge of powder to kill a squirrel 20' up in a tree of a rabbit 20' away, and not have a round go 2 miles and or blow the game to shreds. Is their a SAFE way to...

[quote="trooper joe"][quote="oic0"] I also used it off duty for deer and squirrel hunting.[/quote] Do you use 148 wadcutter for this? And I'd assume it's head shot only right? For there are hunters that get in to fits over using solid vs. HP .22LR, because of meat destruction. So...

In State of Ohio we are allowed to hunt with a pistol. The minimum barrel length is 5 inches. The only allowable cartridges are .357 Magnum, .41 Magnum, .44 Magnum, .45 Long Colt.

Rifleman336

I'd say .357 Mag is a good choice for it's easier to find and uses .38 spl without modification, something the .45 Long Colt, can't say. As for .38's being shorter and the resulting carbon ring, don't sweat it. Get a .38 chamber brush, and I stress a CHAMBER brush for it's slightly bigger and is use...

OK maybe thats what the two complaints might have been, so it accually boils down to COAL out of the magazine. That will be something to look in to also. I'm a member of Marlinowners and I'll look in to the feeding fix., Thanks Coldfingers and Hobie, I 'm much abliged to you.

Big game capable rifle? Here in Ohio, the biggest danger excluding a hostile erect biped, are Black Bear (very rare), ferrarl hog / wild boar and coyote / wild dogs.

My gun is a 16" "Guide Gun" made around 2000 or so. Just that I've seen more than one complaint, so I thought I'd ask around the "captive aduience" to see if was true. For I have plans for casting 200gr bullets for use in the future.
