the guy who took the African Big 6 was Vince Lupo, and I'm pretty sure he used a regular Marlin 1895 in 45-70. As a good advertisement for the crossbolt safety, he clicked on a charging lion, disabled the safety, and managed to get the shot off. http://www.brockmansrifles.com/hunt_results.asp Can yo...

I've been using 7.5 grains of Blue Dot in my .357, which is under the load in my loadbook. But it's the most accurate. I'm using magnum primers which I expect would light the powder all at once.

Here is an excerpt from a copied page from some load book I ran across, I don't know which one. Since I consider the 30-30 to be a whiz-bang caliber (compared to .357) I thought it was pretty funny: "The 30-30 WCF of 1895 was the first American sporting rifle cartridge designed for smokeless po...

Do you like IMR 3031?

I'm considering getting a can of IMR 3031 for 30-30 and 35 Remington, because it is the most common powder used in the loadbook I have. There's an IMR 3031 load for almost every bullet.

Hopefully that's because it's a good powder. How do you guys like it?
