Re: Any levergunners in the N.C. area?

That said the sight he used must not have been for that rifle, I have a Lyman on a 30AW and a Marbles on a 1984 and neither required alteration of the S...

Re: 357 penetration

Thought it looked familiar, I found the Cast Boolits forum just after that buy closed. Which is why I bought the Saeco instead.

Re: OT - Cooking Bear Meat

A guy I work with killed a bear last year and ground most of it and then smoked a roast using my pork rub. He did it low and slow until internal temp hit 195*.

I would throw my hat in for the 180's too. More mass will do more damage, my preference is for cast WFP boolits though.

And if you hammer like I do there is an extreme danger of missing the punch and hitting something that will need polishing and rebluing! That's why I build garage shelves, fences and decks with deck screws. I hammer l...

I have a 1894CP and want to put the slimmer and non-checkered stock and forend on and was wondering if I could get someone who owns a Cowboy version to measure the length and barrel channel width of the forend so that I can make sure that it will work before laying out cash. The stock looks like a n...
