WHOA!!!! Gives me the idea to try some of the .338 TSX for my 33wcf Yep, that's the same way I got started in the project. My guess is something in the 200gr ought to serve you nicely. Based on what I've seen, it will take something about 250gr to get to that weight. I've averaged about a 20% loss ...

JohndeFresno - Your thoughts are right on on all counts. I believe that their new tungsten based "Silvex" does contribute to bone-crushing/breaking and I think that is why they brought it out because they (Barnes) knew their Copper only bullet line was lacking in that area. I believe that...

Gary, This is just a thought and may have no bearing on anything. But I was over on the Barnes site looking at their products and noticed the .45 Colt, Casull, GAP, .460 S&W bullets are all sized to .451". Nothing wrong with that I guess except for all those who have recently commented the...

Couple things - first is same as Joe above - check the diameter of these bullets. The 45-70 needs .458" - I figure that you know that - just checking. An undersized bullet will definately play havoc with accuracy. Use data published for standard 300 grain bullets - just back off the normal 10%...

Thanks for the update, Gary. Since Barnes wants to sell bullets, I suspect that they'll forgive me if I make a PDF of some pages from their manual and send it to one of their customers who bought their product. If they don't, then don't tell anybody! It will be our secret - you and the couple of hu...

Anyone had any experience with this bullet in their rifles? Just bought 2 boxes (very expensive i might add) So far my experience with their 300 grn bullets with the 45-70 havent been very good but im going to be stuck with these when i go pig hunting but i have to try them in my marlin 94 45 colt....

it's a sham and scam organization. they say they support gun rights but their actions are quite the contrary. The nra has written several times about this organization. and, if they support obama then that tells all.

Some manuals will list data for the Marlin 1895(336) and the Win. 1886. I have not seen data produced by the various powder/bullet manufactures exclusively for Browning or new manufacture, tang safety, Winchesters. There are not enough of them to warrant the necessary work. Most authorities agree t...

Is a 86 Winchester a stronger action than a Marlin? Also, does anyone currently make an 1886 and how do you go about getting one? Thanks, RustyJr Everyone says the 86's are stronger because of the locking lugs, etc; but ive always wondered if thats true then why dont most of the loading manuals ack...

I hunt in the "condor zone", where copper bullets are the rule. Do to the expense of the Barnes TSX, I haven't taken the .45 calber Winchesters out to the fields, yet. At a dollar each, they won't be used for target practice, which severly limits their trial use. I have been hunting with ...

gary rice

You won't need a copper bullet if you hunt outside of the condor area. That leaves you about 3/4 of the state to get a hawg. :D Most of the best areas for Sus scrofa are in the condor zone.Any area with year around running water is a place to check for pigs in fact there are several not far from th...

Anyone know of any alternatives to the barnes 300 grain tsx for the 45-70? Being in kalifornia I will be forced to hunt pig with this bullet but my rifle likes 400 grain bullets. Anybody tried the 450 grain tsx?

gary rice

that's very pretty.

Alls I know is that there's some BS about getting a permit to import or something. I just can't deal with it. In other words you didn't bother to find out what it is all about and decided to support the anti's in California. The process is on-line, takes a couple of minutes and doesn't even collect...

I like the full buckhorn. Aesthetically, I think it just "looks right" on a lever! :D Thats what i was thinking too. im going to try one out on my 94 marlin. I have to say that i am very satisfied with the williams wgr sight on my 45-70. i was looking at the "one raqgged hole sight&q...

gary rice

Im just curious, anybody tried these (im sure you have) how do you like them compared to a peep sight? i have a williams fp on my marlin 94 cb and i like it but it seems a bit bulky when carrying it around. it was an improvement over the semi buckhorn that came with the gun though.

gary rice

if it's just the ejector i dont think i would waste the time sending it back to marlin. brownells, midway and others carry those in stock. although, they shouldnt be breaking like that. Last night I picked up my new 1895XLR. I took it apart, cleaned the gunk out, oiled it, etc. I noticed that the sp...

I have a charter arms bulldog 44 spec. that ive had since 1977. i like it really well but the gun hurts my hand when shooting even the lightest loads. also, my gun will key hole swc design bullets at 25 yards.
