Sheepdog mentioned practice and getting intimately familiar with the gun. A very astute piece of advice. How many have this image when they are thinking of home defense....

There are no visible marks except for on the barrel by the rear site dovetail which says 45-70 CREEDMORE - and I've been told that it is misspelled and the the CREEDMOOR were in 44 cal in original Remingtons. There are no markings that I can see on the receiver. If this is a rebarreled...

Again - thanks to everyone. I will see if the gunshop will let me pull the forarm (stock) and if I purchase it I will post it and a range report.

The biggest advantage to me for a 300 mag versus 338 Lapua is price. Locally, 338 loaded ammo is in the same ballpark as 50 bmg. Brass is very expensive also.

When did this happen? It seems very quiet and unheralded to me.

Another question on this - what are thoughts on rechambering for 45-100 or 45-110?

my experience - I bought two 45-70s - the 1895 Cowboy and the 1895 guide gun. Both of these were bought in the 2000s, I waited about 6months after each was introduced to buy one. The quality on those is much better than the 1894s I bought in the early 1980s. My 1894s had screws that...

Did Remington (in the original rolling block era) make any 45-70s (creedmoor or not)?

Thanks to all who took the time to respond. If Numrich sold 45-70 barrels, then this might be such a gun.

I am looking at a Rollingblock in 45-70. It is on consignment. The gun is supposed to be restocked Remington Rolling BLock. The barrel is Octogon at the breech and stock and transforms to a heavy round barrel. The bluing has some wear, the stock is a nice walnut, and at the end...

If you are putting pistol bullets into plastic sabots for white tail deer, I would just as soon cast them from pure lead. I wouldn't worry about casting from wheel weights or harder lead alloys - the sabot will act like a gas check and on a deer size critter with light skin/bones pure lead...

I think this post needs some clarification - 45LC can be shot in a 454 casull 45LC and 454 casull can, to my knowledge be shot in the 460 smith Neither A 454 casull round or 460 S&W can be shot in a 45LC. Won't fit, and if by some fluke a 454 would fit in a 45LC cylinder the pressure is...

1. liked the 2nd part of it best. Part 1 was kinda slow. 2. On Pawn Stars, someone came into the shop with a 1892 Winchester they said was passed down through the family and supposedly used by an escaping hatfield. Even if the feud continued to some degree into the 1930s, my...

I had shot Unique plinking loads in 44 mag for years, but 7.5 grains seems light. I found that I like Trail Boss for mild loads in 44mag and 454 casull
