    Winchester model 92 44mag strength

    A '94 should be able to handle it. Have both a '94 carbine and a Trapper chambered for the .44 Mag. Use a Speer 4457 240 JSP, but might have to find another as this one appears to be obsolete. 24.0-24.3 grains of H110 (using auto disk w/1.54CC) COL 1.600 +/- .010 (can tighten this up if I...

    How to pour from 8lb jug without making a mess?

    I use the paper funnels from my local convenience store. Believe they have them to assist the customers when needing to add oil or windshield washer fluid. I grab ten or so at a time, but they seem to last for ever and you do not have to worry about static.

    Biggest cartridge flops ...

    Is that why they command such a high price and are hard to find? Do not believe there is another cartridge case that can be used for so many varying different calibers of fire arms.

    Biggest cartridge flops ...

    Hard to believe from my view...there are at least four in our hunting camp every year and I load approximately 1k rounds a year that are used up at the club within a couple of months.

    The old Steyr m95

    Honed out a Lee .329 sizing die....took about five minutes with emery cloth, cutting oil, mandrel, and drill.

    The old Steyr m95

    Shooting that Nazi 1938 ammo in those things sure does kick hard! Believe due to the age of the ammo, the glycerin must have separated. Choron'd them (set at 15') and yielded an average of 3015 fps! They are supposed to be around 2400 fps. That is almost 4100 lbs of energy! I think the...

    How much energy in ft lbs ?

    Oh, so very true, especially when started on perception instead of reality. As far as a .30-30 harvesting more deer, can not argue with that, so I will apologize up front for not debating it any further. But, the quote did not say "deer", it said "food", and after looking it up, the proper...

    How much energy in ft lbs ?

    Read this someplace: Winchester's 44WCF has dispatched more men, good and bad, and put more food on the table than any cartridge ever made Suppose that would include deer. My grandfather had no problem with whitetail, if he figured he could hit it, he would...no matter what the...

    Winchester Model 94 .30-.30 question

    This is one of the unwritten rules of life...any up right real man should own a '94 or it's equivalent in their life time....same goes for a Remington 870 or it's equivalent. Somebody should write an amendment to the Bill of Rights.

    Most inaccurate rifle you've ever shot?

    Toss up between a Mosin Nagant M44 and a K98k made in 1937, the M-N has sharp rifling, but it is not close to being within the intended size (heck, supposed to be .311-.312, slugs at .316+). The K98k is just about worn out, just a hint of rifling left. Worst one, NIB, a m16A Bushmaster you...

    Old Mauser M/96 performance?

    How many other milsurps have won the Olympics? Multiple times? Only one...the M96 6.5X55. If I do my part, it not only cloverleafs at 100 off the bench, but will put multiple rounds through the same hole. Using a lead sled (don't like doing it this way, but wanted to take the human element...

    Urban vs Rural

    In between. 40 miles out of one city, 45 miles to another, and five miles to the closest town (population 1900), but right on a relatively large lake (3 miles at it's widest and 7 miles long). Also directly across the road (a county road) from 3200 acres of a pristine natural state wildland area.

    Trapdoor Springfield - Ulberti or Pedersoli?

    It was the Sandy Hook trials in the late 1870's. Believe it was a 6' target at about 2 1/2 miles or some ungodly distance.

    Mosin Nagant M44

    Once you get the cosmoline out of the stock and a few coats of BLO, followed by a couple of coats of Tung...you will have an excellent looking M44.

    Favorite Firearm Era

    Ditto, The time period beginning with the use of cartridge firearms, right up until WW1. OP has some of the best rifles in the wrong era though. The K98, 1903, Mosin-Nagant, Lee-Enfield, and the such were all pre-WW1. But the Spencer's, Trapdoor's, Mauser 71/84, Berdan's, Snider's, which led...
