Very interesting reading indeed. I have been using Unique and light slugs in my levers fr years with results that mirror the author's. 300 gr cast for the 450 and 45-70 Marlins light 180 gr bullets in teh 444 and 110 plinkers in the 30-30. What fun!

No I can't relate. I have 3 .30-30s (one of which is a SINGLE-SHOT! :shock: ). Wouldn't willingly part with any of them. Don't know what you hunt or where you hunt that makes them useless.

I live in Wyoming. Most of my shots are over 200 yards. Very rarely do I get an opportunity to hunt the timber and if I do it is always for elk.

About the most useless rifle I can possibly get for my type of hunting!!! Still want one! Stigmas................. Not as accurate as bolt guns..... Low bc bullets can only be safely employed...

Re: 356 Winchester

If the 94 doesn't work out, you can always get a 336 in 35 Rem and have it rechambered for 356 by a good smith like Nonneman. He charged me $150 for the job. $300 for a used rifle plus $150 - $450. Probably less than the 94? Here's mine: http://www.gunsnet.net/album/data//500/HPIM1455.JPG Way less ...

356 Winchester

Hi guys!
I am shopping around for a 94 356 Win. I am considering several deals but will definitely buy one and I am buying all the handloading supplies. Anyway, what are you favorite loads in this caliber?
Bullets, powders, velocity Accuracy etc.... Thanks!
