You really have to work at not anticipating the shot. The next time you are at the range have somebody else load your rifle using a few empty cartridges mixed in with the live rounds while your back is turned and you might be surprised at how much you are flinching. There seems to be an overall tend...

Personally, I like the ports on my 1895GS and haven't noticed any increase in noise as I usually tend to stand behind the rifle when firing it and not off to one side. I'd wait on a .45-70. They can be loaded up to .450 velocities and don't require a special case. I shy away from any firearm that re...

The 1895 is a rifle, hence, it has rifling which will swirl the shot as it leaves the muzzle creating less than poor accuracy. Plus, the wad will not seat properly and will vent gases along the lands and grooves of the rifling significantly degrading velocity of the shot. A .410 shell can be fired f...
