My main question would be: Does an 1885 Winchester count as a "lever gun"? If so, i've seen one that beats an inch easily and most every time, and this, with cast bullets.

I have an original in .33 i'd sell. Message me if you're interested.

Well, I'm not Paco, and I didn't work with the cartridge, but clearly bullet weight, and diameter would be two things you would get out of it.

In his book, Paco talks about the .40 Paco. Its a .30-30 necked up to .40. Has anyone worked with this?

Thanks for all the information!

Does anyone here shoot the '73 in .44 Special? Does it feed and chamber Keith bullets?

Will this ever be made again? Does anyone have the recipe? Was my favorite lube.

Coors Light has to be the worst. Nasty Beer flavored water.

A Ballard .32-40 is my oldest. I did own a couple longrifles that were some older, but they slipped away

Mr. Murbach, It's hard to follow your posts. I'm assuming you directed some of that puke you wrote, to my original post. I have some advice for you. First, set the drink down before you type. Second, do us a favor and take a couple **** pills. I got lots of information off this thread. Sorry to say,...

Now thank you, Griff. Responses like this are what I was looking for.

Nor did you need to be a mind reader. That's right, I did not ask a specific question. I wanted a general opinion on the rifle/caliber in question. OK.....Here is specific. How does it feed? Will it feed Keith's? Does groove diameter run normal? How are the sights? Has anyone shot one enough to have...

Griff,
As a matter of fact, the reply was a poor one. I could have sworn you asked questions here. Forget it.

Now there is an opinion.

Who owns one of these, and what do they think of it?

Nice looking bullets, Steve. I have been swaging for awhile. from .22 to .338 and all the pistol calibers. It is a very rewarding hobby.

Thank you very much.

PM sent. Thank you kindly for the kind offer

Wes,

Wes,
I'll bet your going to use 250gr bullets when you hunt those heavy timber bulls, aren't you?

Can I ask where you came up with the Matco blank? I don't think they are in business anymore. Have always heard good things about them. What caliber?

Back troubles have kept me from a lot of my shooting the last couple years. When I'm able, I shoot two trap leagues a year. I shoot a few local ATA tournaments. I love single shot rifles. I used to compete in Schuetzen, and hope to again some day. I hunt big game, varmints, and birds.

Scott,
Jagts are great dogs. Don't know how you could go wrong. You might also consider a Patterdale Terrier.

Am thinking of buying a Rossi 92. Have not made up my mind which caliber. I am wondering if they have correct twist to shoot heavy for caliber bullets. Say, 300 gr. cast slugs in .44 and .45. Anyone shooting heavy slugs in these?

Has anyone ever fitted a bolt peep sight, ala Win. 71, on a 92? That would be a neat setup. I have heard bolt peeps are being manufactured again, but cannot confirm it.
