I just have no idea how, or even if you can delete a thread that you start, so I just turned it into this thread instead

There used to be a pawn shop in Provo Ut. that had more guns then you could imagine, and every kid of gun, they always had a price on them to move the guns, I bought my share of guns from them, now you go in and they don't have any guns, that is a sad deal, I mis that pawn shop. There was a pawn sho...

If you just take one, even with broken bones they can go very far. I shot an Elk once with a Hornady 300 gr spire point from a 375 H&H Mag once, dang hit it in the steaks, it broke the pelvis, crossed through to the shoulder, tumbled down to the elbow, spun it around 180 degrees, but did not kn...

Thanks guys, I would have thought the Hornady would be just fine, but was wondering if there was something I did not know, or had not herd about.
Thanks again

Again I am defering to the lerned on this forum! I have read that this bullet does not have a strong enough jacket for good penitration on Elk like breaking shoulders, have any of you used this for hunting Elk, and how did it work for you? I have considered using either a Hawk 250, or a Barnes 250, ...

I picked up an excelnt used Browning 71 carbine between Christmas, and New year for $800.00, that included a box of Hornady bullets, about 13 brass, RCBS reloading dies, and a Williamd FP receiver sight, I think I got a good deal, I think $1800.00 is a little steep :shock: Some one mentioned recoil,...

Wasnt Mattie's a Colt/Walker? those where BIG 44s, way more powder capacity then the other 44s of the time.
Werent the originals Henrys 44s?

There were some Bullocks here in UT. that were well todo, they had jewelery stores, I wonder if they are any relation.

What the others said, I prefer using the Youkon style snow shoes, but those Bearpaws do look good especialy up there with the guns!

I see he has corrected his mistake, he now says it is a Marlin, and offered to give back any bids that where made.

Not to hijack the thread but what bore diamiter do most of the 91/30s Run? I have read that they can be anyware from 308 to 312, I was thinking of getting a couple for my sons, but if I can't get decent bullets for reloading not sure I want to, I would like to be ablel to use spire points not full m...

theres another one behind him, I wonder if it is scoped too. I have been thinking of scoping my 66 centenial, with that long barrell I think it could be a cool varmint gun. Terry Terry, If you do scope it, don't buy a side mount that needs extra holes drilled. Buy a Weaver 3B SIDE MOUNT BASE , it u...

Nath, I don't know. I've not seen the movie, but it sounds like one I might want to see. In a few weeks, I have another vintage Marlin arriving, an original Model 94 SRC in 38-40 (now THERE is a fox gun for you!) You got some range time to get penciled in Kirk :D You must of seen the film, I can't ...

I think I'd rather see Rossi give it a try. I would rather see Rossi make one also since they have many years of making good lever guns. That said, I do have a Norinco copy of the 1887 Winchester and like it just fine so I would consider it if the price was right and I heard some decent reviews of ...

TMair

In hind sight one of the best guns I have ever owned was a Remington 700 ADL, in 22-250, I wish I would have kept that one, you may just regret letting that one get away...but then again you never owned it long enough to really get to know it.

I am a Winchester fan, but, at the risk of sounding like a girlyman when I scrolled down to the photo it took my breath away...for a second.
Good for you!

Can you post a link, I would like to see it.
Thanks

I would love to have one of these, hopefully some one will buy one and not like it, and be willing to sell it cheap, and I will be lucky enough to find that guy!

I would have to say my Browning buckmark, for what ever reason I shoot it better then i do my Ruger 10/22.

I guess I can chime in here too. I also have a progressive press for my pistol ammo, but I still use a single stage press for my rifle ammo, I know a progressive, or even a turret loader would be faster for loading these things but dang it I enjoy reloading, it's my quiet time, and why would I want ...

TMair

Boy I don't know I would like to shoot it just to say I had, I was thinking of getting one a couple of years ago, but then I was considering the 45-70 revolver too.
I do think his price is a little high for that, I don't think they where/are that much new, unless the price has gone up...a lot!
Terry

TMair

I'd love to pick one up save for one little issue, their ammo costs more than it costs me to produce 357mag ammo! 22mag ammo is priced way too high for it's value in comparison to the 22lr in my humble opinion. I understand the issue with lower volume, higher prices but to me it's priced excessivly...

I'm mostly a Marlin & Savage kind of guy, I only own two Winchesters a model 88 in 358 and a model 21 shot gun but would have to say the model 71 has to be the most prettiest rifle that Winchester put out. I have handled a couple of them over the years they have such nice lines, smooth action a...

I live 100 miles away and we try to make it to Yellowstone at least once a year. 1: Motorcycle is the best way to see it. 2: Mammoth is the nicest place to stay. Old Faithful is the most crowded.

It does look great, and those hooks are cool, and great prices.

Not caring much for crowds kinda puts a kink in things, several million people a year visit those spots.

I always get a kick out of those that forget the 45-70 has made its living since 1873 chunkin a 400 gr bullet at 13-1400 fps. If a person uses the original design bullets whether the 400 or the 500 gr versions at the original ballistics, there isn't a critter on this or most any other continent tha...

We loaded some up for a friend at about 1875 fps with the 400. 6' 5", 270 lbs, he took a beating with bruises in not many rounds. Another friend who is 5' 10" and 145 lbs shot them all up - he gives with recoil like the front fork on a dirt bike. That crescent butt plate can be an issue f...

I also had two 400 gr. factory loads with me, those felt real comfotable

and I had my little Rossi 44 Mag. which felt like a 22 after shooting those reloads

Terry, The gun you use is the same gun my son uses when we hunt elk each year. The load we both use (I use an original 1886 ExLwt--sometimes other old Winchesters) for the 45-70 is my own cast NEI 375 gr. gas check bullet in front of 40 gr. of RL-7 for 1700. So far he has shot two with this load. T...

I once loaded up 40 rounds for my 45-70 of 405 grain cast bullets loaded to the max (around 2,000 fps). After taking about 5 shots, I pulled the bullets of the rest and reloaded them to sane levels. That is how fast mine where supposed to go according to the reloading manuel, I did not take the cro...

You shouldn't need a fuse. Smokeless powder burning in the open is almost a non-event. It's when you confine it that it gets interesting. The same cannot be said for BP-entirely different animal. Try the slowest powder you have. One of the worst burns I ever got was being a Dumb *** with BP :oops: ...

It is looking good, if I was that good with wood I would make mine with a shotgun but plate, and a different finish, I can't wait to see it finished.
