More on the Mossberg lever rifle
Ok, over the weekend I recieved the '08 catalog from Mossberg. Actually, I got fifty of them? Any way, this is one strange creature. I'm not too impressed with the finish in the photos. But it may be something slapped together for the photo shoot, so I'm not real concerned with that. It looks somewh...

I remember a study contesting the validity of 'shotgun only' hunting areas. It seems that testing confirmed that a 1 ounce 12ga slug would deflect easier and travel further that a deflected FMJ 308 round. It does make sense that larger, slower moving, projectiles would travel further after deflectio...

What's new...
in the world of leverguns? I'm excited about the Mossberg lever rifle, but what else is on the horizon?
I've been busy running my mouth here, or banging around in the shop, to do any good reading. What have I missed?

What is the best factory load...
...for the 44 mag, and 45/70 if one were hunting whitetail, and black bear? The 44 would be a backup.
Let's say the arms were a 5 1/2 inch Ruger Black hawk, a Marlin 1895, and I had to buy my bullets of the shelf.

In response to the 45/410 revolver, I thinks it's an attempt to make a legal and somewhat servicable shotgun pistol. If it were smooth bore, it would be a fine weapon (maybe) but we can't do that*. So, this is the next best thing. * see paradox rifling, which is what Taurus should have done with the...
