Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters New old guns?

Haven't bought any lately, but the old stuff is my favorites.
1906 Marlin '94 25-20

This one anymore lives on cast bullets. I'm running the NOE 260283 as a plain based mold over 9.3 gr 4198 for just under 1300 fps. Mild load for the old rifle, and very accurate.

1953 Savage 99R 250-3000 along with cheesy's EG 300 from the same era

Took a doe with the 87 Hot Core again this year.

1959 JC Higgins 51-L 308. High Standard barreled Husky HVA action sold by Sears

This one is currently working out as a cast bullet shooter since I don't have that many uses for 165 partitions. I've got 180 gr bullets from a NOE clone of the Saeco #315 design doing very well up to around 2450 fps so far.
