    .308 Whitetail Hunting Bullet

    I took 3 deer with a new 308. 180gn so. Worked fine. 150-180 will do. IMO 165 shoots best but all eat different. Add boat tail helps.

    Range report and 1858 cylinder question

    Cleaning not so bad. I pull the cylinder and grips and trigger guard then put it in the sink or a tub filled enough to cover the parts with hot soapy water.

    Newbie Rifle Advice Needed

    Pietta 1858 Remington cylinder pin fitting

    I'm curious of the year of manufacture. Could it be old enough that maybe it takes shorter cylinder? I know some of the older different make ones won't take the newer cylinders without modifying the front of the frame. If so is the replacement pin too long too?

    Sorry for your loss. The scope shows discontinued by manufacture. I did find a listing on eBay for $145. I'm sure that's a bit high considering. I have several Barska scopes and the are pretty good scopes.

    Loose caps on Traditions Deerhunter nipple ?

    Single shot, just pinch a little. May not be best in very damp weather if out hunting. I had a nipple like that and just trimmed the cone down a bit just so the cap would grab. Usually doesn't take much.
