Iron Sights, 30-30, Dime, 100 Yards

I recovered the dime this time... I will not bore you further.

Rifleman

I dont know if I could hit a dime at 100 but I get 3 shot groups at 100 with my 99 300 savage that you can cover with a dime. My 348 is a 3/4" group rifle at 100 with peep sights. danny How do you guys DO that with non-magnifying sights; I can't even see the bullseye at that range without a sc...

Rifleman

So I'm the only one trying it? I sure hope someone is waiting until this weekend. I Might Have Hit It That is taking a shot with the Winchester 94 30-30, iron sights, at a dime, 100 yards downrange; I think there is a good chance that I hit it. Unfortunately, I couldn't find the dime to verify the h...

I tried today with the Howa 1500 30-06, at a silver dollar sized target, 300 yards downrange; missed by 1.25 or so inches. I am still getting my windage correct after load development, and with these round nose cast bullets windage is tricky; but I am pretty sure I have the windage adjusted properly...

Rifleman

Anyone who would use a levergun...? My 30-30 is that precise with a scope. 550 Yard, 30-30 Winchester 94, Hornady 160gr FTX I don't have a scope on it now, but I'll try that next time I shoot it. What if it were a silver dollar sized target...? I might be able to do that with the AK, I'll give that...

Rifleman

Yes. I oil every part that experiences friction or can rust.

How well do the 420HC blades from Buck take an edge? Hard to do or easy? I sharpen my Buck before deer season and it holds it's edge through gutting, skinning, then about halfway through butchering the first deer. Then I'll take a few minutes to get it sharp again; and then again after butchering, ...

A Buck Pathfinder was my first hunting knife; bought about 35 years ago.

Rifleman

LOL! That is too funny!

Rifleman

I hate to admit it, but it isn't my lever action; it is my Howa 1500 30-06... especially since today I shot my best group with it ever!

Been over on another forum trying to at least express and explain my opinion, and maybe share a little knowledge, but the chair-borne commandoes over there can't carry on a reasonable conversation/debate without making smart-arsed comments and slinging insults. At least over here when you all put m...

My camera has a feature whereas you press the capture button halfway, then it selects an area to focus on. When it selects the area you want, press the button fully and it focuses on that area. You might need to move forward or backward to help it out a bit. I also use a flashlight at one end, with ...

Great shooting!
Cool picture!

I had developed a load during the summer in my AK using IMR 4198, come winter the precision was atrocious! So I had to redevelop a load for use in winter.

Rifleman

Amazing!

I had a good reason each and every time... and what were you doing watching TV at that hour?

A good, supported firing position IS real shooting. :wink: Anyone that says different has watched Quigley too many times :lol: Indeed.

My research suggests that the powder does well with full pressure loads but some seem to think it does not behave great in mid range loads, opinions? That is what I've concluded. I was having a time trying to get it to shoot consistently. Don't Like LEVERevolution Powder The extreme spreads were to...

Rifleman

I don't clean my cases in any way. I don't have any precision issues.
[edit] or any other issues, and I have cases that have been shot over 80 times.[/edit]

Great gun, and great shooting!

Rifleman

I have noticed lately that as the eyesight and dexterity start to go away that my shooting practice has started to change. I now can take a 7-8 round mag of .45acp, aim at the bulls-eye or (x), and take out the sternum, both lungs, one eye, and usually a leg or two. :shock: :D I did not plan it thi...

I was about to comment on that very topic! Great shooting!

I was shooting my lever action well, long before I was told that they didn't shoot well.

Rifleman

Can you tell where the constriction is ? Just ahead of the forcing cone ehre the barrel screws into the frame maybe? It sounds like a good candidate for fire lapping. The '06 might be made to shoot better by fire lapping as well. Yes the 686 constriction is right where the frame is. I've considered...

Rifleman

Friend has 586 made in '84. The barrel is .355 diameter. I had a badly sporterized/cut up '06 Eddystone with the 2 groove barrel. Shot any cast load great. Sold it to friend. My 686 barrel's constriction slugged at .351. It shoots great with jacketed bullets and 38special cast. I'm fine shooting bo...

Rifleman

If that Eddystone 1917 smokes, it is not because of the bore condition. Go back to school on that one. Why is this site so prone to the arrogant insulting types? Original 5 groove Eddystone, Remington and Winchester 1917 barrels tend to run large at .309 or a smidge larger in the grooves. WWII rebu...

That is my experience also.

Rifleman

Well, I have precise loads for all my center-fire firearms but 2. My 686 has a bore constriction, which faster moving bullets, (357mag,) will lead really bad. Then my Eddystone M1917 smokes like the dickens. The bore is pitted badly so gas escapes around the bullet; paper patching could solve that p...

However it's too long to eject, or load from the magazine. So even if I single load, I can't get it out unless I fire it. So for hunting it's non-starter. Take a knife or screwdriver and disconnect the extractor claw. I use all sorts of bullets in my 30-30; since I only insert one cartridge in the ...

Thanks for the complements and comments!

I just wish I had a bit more range to work with.

I have been doing well with the Winchester 94 lately, and thought I'd post my last 3 videos... since they were all hits on the 2MOA targets.

Marvin S wrote:Also the yardage side of the window is left blank, what was the purpose for that?

Because that is where you mark it for your specific load. How are they going to know what cartridge and/or load you'll be shooting?

I've shot a 200lbs whitetail doe with a 357mag handgun, using a 158gr HP-XTP. Muzzle velocity of 1050, 65 yard shot, hit between two ribs then through the heart/lungs breaking a rib on exit. Doe ran 60 yards further then collapsed. I use 180gr HP-XTPs now since I get 1080fps, (still avoiding transon...

I tried again today shooting into the trough; I got some expansion and hydraulic shock.

That was a lot snipped off the tip, I don't know how well it will shoot; I'll have to try it at distance.

Another good shot; I'm doing very well with this rifle now.

Win94ae 30-30, 400 Yards, 4 Inch Target

I took a 400 yard shot with the Howa 1500 30-06 yesterday; I hit closer to center today with the 30-30.

This rifle has been working flawlessly; I have a lot of faith in it now.
