Vance I'll give it a shot. It looks to me to be a brass 38-55 case. OK, what do I win? :D Did you get any yote's this morning? You might be right. Check the mailbox for your prize. :D Wait...that might be a crime. I'll have to personally deliver it. Slept in this morning and gave the coyotes a brea...

I up in OK City this week working at Tinker AFB, dang it is cold and windy. It turned out we were the only ones in the building we're working in. Lots of snow for around here, we're getting hit back home in Texas but it's not as bad as here.

Hi - new to forum and new to Lever Action, ahh, so new in fact I haven't fired one yet. Been shooting a .22LR (my son's Henry) for some time and just picked-up a Ruger 10-22LR for myself. Really enjoy .22LR so decided to move up to Lever Action. Purchased a NIB Marlin 45-70 Government (1895) a few ...

XS also makes a peep sight that will mount to the already drilled and tapped scope mount holes.

Sorry to hear about the radiation treatments, I hope all is going well. As for the 44 Mag vs 357 Mag, I've never owned a 44 Mag but I have a soft spot for the 357. I always figured it would do most anything I need of it here in Texas, both domestic and wild.

RKrodle

20cows, if my wife whooped me that good I would tell the same story

Get well.

Nice pics. That doe with the tongue hanging out, I seem to recall that it is a condition/disease but can't remember what it's called.

I spent a couple of years at Cherry Point, I was with VMGR 252. Worked on Sky Pigs, AKA KC 130's. That was back in 1980-81.... wow that makes me fell like I'm getting old. Back then hunting was offered on base, and the rifle range was open to off duty personal on weekends. It used to get a little wi...

RKrodle

Y'all folks and your cold weather, that's just not right. I mean I like the cold but, my definition of cold and y'alls are two entirely different things.

I have some of the Speer 300's that Piller gave me but haven't got around to testing any of them yet. I've been told they work good at carbine velocities. I did some testing here while back with various Jacketed bullets for the 45 colt for my Winchester Trapper. I found that the Hornady XTP's were s...

It was great to hear that TOP HONORS went to your girl friend, and the paltry .357 mag. I can't remember how many threads we have seen in the past year suggesting the .357 is less than desirable on hogs and deer. I am sure there was a 30-30 or two in the mix of those 17 hogs as well. Maybe next yea...

Just got in from the hunt!! WOW what a great weekend. Lots of hogs taken with everything from 38 spl. to a 470 doublegun and most everything in between. Hunters ages ranged from 5 to .... well..... we'll just say there was a couple of people there who can be called old fanny burbs :lol: . n2t's GF l...

18 here this morning as I got up and going. Slept in til 6:30

Hey that's great Little Bill!!! We will need pictures.

Good Idea. I dig around and see what I can bring.

Wow, factory ammo. I've never shot any factory ammo out of my 71. I have some old stuff but I've never seen current manufactured ammo.

RKrodle

nt2 (Will) that is coming down form Montana to hunt this weekend texted me to update me on the trip. He remebered to bring the his Gateway laptop for the trip but forgot his power supply. Does anyone that is coming have a gateway power supply that Will can use while he's here?

RKrodle

WOW, thanks Hagler for pointing that out. You know, it's amazing the things companies will do to get the latest state of the art technology. Truly a sad state of affairs.

I'm bringing the 470 double, and enough ammo for everyone to take a shot or two! Haven't decided on my second rifle yet. So... you think Ricky is saving Hogzilla just for you eh? :? Better bring the RPG in case he charges. :lol: :wink: Nah, just bringing it along for fun. If that's your fun gun I d...

Aw come on Warhawk, don't spoil the fantasy. I like going down to the creek and thinking I may be undergunned with my 45-70.

Ok, I want to be first in line. Sixgun, can I have your autograph!

RKrodle

Well that just shows how observant that I am. I didn't even see the info at the bottom of the pic

RKrodle

I no expert but that is what I was always taught. The same powder charge behind the same weight Jacketed and Cast bullet will have less pressure when used with a Cast bullet.

Oops, sorry dude. Man That looks Mmm Mmm Good.

Good info thanks, I may try some out. For years I've been just using bar/bath soap as I shower. I don't have a real heavy beard but when I shave I like a close shave.

I also wish y'all could make it. As I'm sure you know the hunting is only a part of it. The fellowship is the best part for me. The people from Leverguns as a whole are a great bunch of people.

Ricky, I'll plan on arriving Friday afternoon if someone will be around. I'm going to need a room or a bed or however that works too. Jim Jim, it should be room in the cabin. There's several beds in it and if it does fill up there's a motel near by that's reasonable. Right now it shouldn't be a pro...

I'm figuring on arriving around 2:00 pm. I paid Joe already for cabin accommodations and food for Friday and Sat. nights. I tried to put the directions Joe sent into my GPS, but it didn't recognize the FM road. Do they call those roads by any other name? http://www.mapquest.com/maps?address=4187+FM...

Just one short week away until hog hunting time! The long range forecast is calling for some rain between now and when the hunt starts but it should not be like last year when we needed floaties :lol: . I would recommend some mud boots be brought along, and in case of rain over the weekend if you ha...

Ok Joe you go first. If by chance this does something to your hand so that you can't shoot I call dibs on your 86.

I heard it on the radio this morning and they said the reason it was so long after the fact was because that is what the family had requested.

I've always heard the heart/lung shot referred to as the "frying pan shot". Because if you place your bullet there your going to have meat for the frying pan.
