Its an easy way to carry a heavy long barreled gun, try it sometime, balances just perfect atop the shoulder. I often carry a shotgun in this fashion. I mostly hunt alone so no danger ahead of me to harm. .DT

I fancy a little Turkey hunting myself

Mr.Murphy please share you views on how it is disrespectful, I would like to know.

I read an article in a Taxidermy magazine from a few years back, Custer enjoyed shooting game and practicing Taxidermy himself. It had photos of him and mounted antelope and birds and such. Here a few miles from my house is a lone grave upon a mountain side, miles from any home and now on public lan...

I tried a red-dot scope on a .30/30, one box of ammo and I took it off, put a scout scope on it and like it much better. At 100 yards the dot on mine covered 4 inches, Some others cover more.

I give the Barricade a thumbs up! I have had guns after 6 months or longer develop rust from Wd40, not a problem so far with barricade. .DT

Very nice 6pt! Looking forward to your updates and info to this one. .DT

I once said... The deer are rutting so good I saw a doe running a buck

Dangerous, nah. Reloading is so simple even a caveman... well perhaps not a caveman.

I made the mistake of stuffing 50gr of H4198 into a .45/70 case and topping it off with a 350gr bullet and firing a handful of these cartridges through the metal cresent butt plate of my Buffalo Classic. I said words other than owie between shots

Please add me for the drawing!! Getting into shooting blackpowder cartridge is my #1 desire at the moment. What a rifle to use!

After looking at the Rolling Blocks posted in the military rifle thread, I was wondering if there is a go to forum for info on learning of these rifles? I noticed a couple in my local pawn shop. I know nothing of these rifles but do love the way they look, their age and I already love the 45/70 cart...

Are you Sandy Claws? Throw my name in the cowboy hat for that read! .DT

Congrats on your deer!! Its hard to beat the old double .30!!

.Dirty-.Thirty

Eli, run and check to make sure you still have them guns, there is a feller on Marlin Owners that has the same ones!!

Very neat find!! Thanks for sharing! .DT

I recently went with the Lee Turret press and have no complaints. I load at the moment for .308w, 444m, and 45/70 and plan to load for other rifle and handgun cartridges soon. Most of my equipment is mixed brands overall, any 'color' you choose will do you right.

When I'm stirring them beans around in a kettle at camp I have on my 4 5/8" Blackhawk in .357Magnum. My famous beans w/ smoked deer hocks and a spoonfull of lard have been accused of cracking louder than my revolver? :shock: Although some have called 'em a kettle of .38's :lol: .Dirty-.Thirty

Looks like you just about over done it on good lookers on that one!! Seems like wherever OS is a good time is going on!! Always enjoy your threads, keep 'em coming.

Teach me something too, what i the meaning behind the 55 name of the 38-55? If it is only capable of 47gr of black?

.Dirty-.Thirty

Or how about getting more good outta the shorter barrel by pushing a heavier bullet, some of the guys on Marlinowners are shooting cast in their .444 at 400grains and above with the 1 in 20" twist, isn't that what makes our .45/70's work so well?

.Dirty-.Thirty

I don't get the reasoning in shortening leverguns, I don't like the way they look after, I don't like the way they sound after, and they feel balanced to me at longer lengths. But since it is yours do what you want

Great idea on taking pictures with the arrows sticking in where they hit at, I'll give it a try!! :D As said above, archers always look for their arrows for a definite sign of where they passed thorugh the critter telling how to follow up the tracking. Pass through arrows shot from a treestand are s...

Nice pictures of ol' bullwinkle!! Thanks for posting, .DT

.Dirty-.Thirty

Appreciate the pictures, that gave me the fever for sure!! I started a thread with some questions, if you can help out I'd appreciate it! .D-30

Howdy all.... I have been looking on Midway and wanting to place an order through them if possible without having to order from circlefly, BP, etc... With the Magtech brass 12ga shells, can I use the BPI 10ga nitro cards for my over powder and over shot cards? I plan to load with smokeless and Pyrod...

.Dirty-.Thirty

I wish we still had the pictures

How did your patterning go? Can a shot cup be used with blackpowder/substitute. Have you found any links or info to share on these, I'm about to get started into this. Can't wait!!

Chuck, on restocking to Straight grip, Is that all there is too it? Just change em out?

BTW my 20ga w/ 28" barrel is very pleasant to carry and shoot, quite impressed how it balances compard to a 12ga 870 I have.

I'm 4th generation to own the 10 gauge above, and there was many a smokeless round shot through it by my family years ago, but its not recommended.

Any chance you can add the reloading brass shells page that you have laying on the table to this thread were we can read it? Any links and info will be appreciated.

Anybody on here have one? I read the '87-'98 models were blackpowder only, is there a supplier for these light loaded 2 7/8" with blackpowder for squirrels and such

I have a 67 winnie and a 33 remmie, love them old single shots. Thanks for the picture.

Thanks for all the welcomes. Heres a picture of my Marlins, nothing old or fancy, just game getters. .444, .30/30, .30/30

Jeremy, I'm gonna cheat cos I don't have a real genuine black powder gun and post this: IJ Steel grip.JPG I do shoot black powder from it sometimes :P . Hobie; when I tried to look at your pics all I got was a page to sign in to the blog. Not sure what's up with that. Joe Same here with the sign in...

Howdy all, I moseyed on over from my home at Marlinowners for some more lever gun talk. At the moment I own 3 Marlin levers and 1 Winchester lever. Enjoying reading some good threads here and look forward to more levergunning. .Dirty-.30
