Marlin X7, which is the exact same gun as the XL7, but they just shortened the name on the current models. In my opinion, the .270 Winchester or 30-06 would be the most versatile choices, and I heard in the past (probably not the current models) they had problems reported on the .25-06 model.

Hornady SST's are hard to beat for consistency and price!

Mossberg 4x4 or Marlin XL7

For deer (and elk) I use Hornady 300 grain HP's over 55 grains of IMR 4198 for about 2400fps. Check out Hodgdon's data for Marlin Leverguns at the following link: http://data.hodgdon.com/cartridge_load.asp From their site (condensed to show maximums: Cartridge: 45-70 Government (Lever...

Hornady does some of their reloading dies with TiN, I believe.

My 1895 Guide gun in 45-70 shoots 1 1/4 inch three shot groups with handloads at 100yards with select handloads...especially Hornady 300 grainers over Hodgdon's data for IMR 4198, minus a couple grains off the top end! Love it!

Would never talk you out of my favorite rifle! I love mine. You "need" one...right? So did I!!! :)

I ain't talkin' you out of it! :)

Although the best lookin' Super Blackhawk was silently screamin' my name for a ride home in the not-to-distant past, I would probably opt for a BFR in 45-70 Gov't!

Got a Lyman hand held (or table mountable) press for next to nothing years ago and keep it in my hunting camper with some favorite dies and equip for use during deer camp int he down times! Love it!

For fast, non-staging shots the "1,2" method still works good. I was refering to target shooting and once one really gets the feel of the gun even with staging the shots it can be done reasonable fast. You "feel" the staging as you unflinchingly focus on the front sight and target. But to...

Anyone with opinions or experience with this newer SA gun from Uberti?

In line with what I posted earlier, I agree with dagerv on 6" GP100! :) Absolute comfort to shoot! Just had to say it again!

Same GP100man from the Ruger forum? If so, I'm the same "deerhearse!" Small world here in cyberspace!!! :)

I do the same as others have posted: In the last few moments of travel in DA mode with my GP100, there is a light click as the cylinder locks up. I use that final moment to adjust on target using the "1, 2" concept. "1" I hear the click and do final sighting, and when I am on target, "2" I...

New to this site but have been lurking around for some time and finally took the plunge! Lovin' it! :) Lots of posts on this site already about IMR 800x, with reminders to stick with published load data. I found this site helpful when my free bullets came in from Hornady (their "Get...

Shooting full-house .357's through my 6 inch GP100 is actually comfortable (with ear plugs) recoil wise! The mass and tank-like quality of the gun with the comfortable Hogue grip make it an absolute joy to shoot!
