Re: If leverguns.com were to headstamp brass, what caliber?

while I voted for 30-30 I'd rather see 30-06 then I could do brass for my 358hawk :-)
but I'd be happy with 45lc and 357mag. but then again 45-70 . Oh My .. what to do :-)

Re: Finally shooting -- the 99 Savage in 35 Remington

when I had it re-barreled we found the 30 cal rotor wouldn't allow the rifle to
have more than 2 rounds in the mag. there is a difference where the
bullet dia is on the rotor. if you went the other way you don't need
to change it. ie 30cal to 7mm-08.
