I think were finding out that the 444 Marlins can handle a little more than they thought. I've found that my XLR likes Rem. 240's with 47.5 of IMR 4198 or 250 Beartooth's @ 46.0. I'm hearing they're running around 2200 to 2300fps. Little tight getting those bullets seated though. What was suggested ...

I believe there was a "Teck Notes" article on Beartooth Bullets where they found that the 290 BT actually out penetrated their 330 bullet.

BTW, I think the 30/30 would be perfect for ya !

I look at it this way, Lawsuits work both ways. The trauma of having a crazed evil person breaking into your humble home in the middle of the night can cause some lasting effects on you and your family. Many times It’s caused families to sell their home, at a loss , because the family feels trauma...

I'm with Jim T also. If it don't penetrate 2 layers of 1/2" rock. It aint gonna do much to a body. But here's a site that may help........

I like the BTB 330s the best in my T4 with a 22" barrel. I set up my XLR with a scope for a long reach. So I didn't really want to go heavy and loose the distance. So I'm thinking about one of those 444's in a guide gun size. Should be heavy enough for around here. Figure I'll use the heaver 3...

Let me know how you make out with those. I've used Beartooth 290's with good groups out to 100yds with my XLR. Got some BT 330's, haven't tried yet.

I've got a 30/30 sitting right next the TV I'm looking at right now. And sitting next to that Marlin 336 is a box of Remington 170 Hollow points. PMC was making something called "Starfire" 150grain HP's too. Come to think of it. You can always pull the bullets on the Rem. HP's and change t...

I bought the DRC because I was having trouble with the original. It just wouldn’t lock up completely. I believe this was the cause of the lever popping open with heavy loads and pinching my finger between the trigger & lever when it reclosed. And yes, there was blood ! Thought it was a bent le...

Just put a DRC on my 1895....

Money transactions on line worry me too much. I use a credit card with the few people I deal with (Midway, Cabela’s etc) only when I can’t find it locally. Good old Government currency’s fine with me ! Keep hearing of corps being hacked for hundreds of thousands of customers account informatio...

Wonder if PayPal is the bank they keep sending your credit card through. Think about it. Every time they do it, they make the money. Could be a nice sum. Our bank switched CC companies recently. We paid off and cancled the old one (that was bought up by a bank we don't deal with anymore) and started...

Did you try both "shift" buttons ?

Guess they didn’t shoot elephants and buffalo before they invented the 375 H&H back in 1912.

Winchester 94 "Trails End" in 45 Colt stands ready.

I’d like to see more development of 30/30 variations. Some more sabot type loads. Got a scoped 336XLR that shoots 125HP’s pretty well. But like to try supercharging some 22's. Maybe make it a 200yd varminter .

Now excuse me while I crimp the batch of 150s I’m taking to the range tomorrow.

Well, lets see.....
I just wore out my first set of Lee reloading dies,

The 30/30's

Guess I qualify !

So, no one has the 411 on this hacker ?

Maybe I should send'em some back copies of "American Rifleman", dog eared to "the armed citizen" section.

Don't know why they don't just contact the NRA.
