Re: OT: Anybody hunt with .45/70 handguns?

A buddy has a 15" Encore barrel that is kinda comfortable to shoot with the rubber grips. Factory 405gr and 300gr HP's aren't bad at all to shoot.

Re: Ranch/Woods bumming rifle.

I gotta agree with Kirk, to a reloader nothing is obsolete. I reloaded for a .401 Winchester 1910, know what brass I used? 7.62x39 and it worked great! I also load for the .22 Jett, it uses .357 mag brass. How many boxes of that ammo have you seen on the shelf?

Re: '95 Winchester .30-40 Krag or .30-06

The 30-40 is just as good today as it was years ago. My 95 was made in 1932 and is a sweetheart to shoot EVEN with the crescent steel butt plate. I have shot it quite a few times sitting and prone and hardly notice the recoil with factory Remington 180gr ammo. http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii30...

Re: 405 Winchester & 45-70

The 45-70 can handle alot of bullet weights as you pointed out and can be easily loaded hotter for the 95 and Ruger, the .405 is pretty much relegated to 300gr bullets unless you lengthen the chamber to handle 400gr bullets, and it's a little harder to load hotter.
