Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters 45 Colt lever action options?

Good to hear.

My only FA is a .357.

Cowboy action folks talk more about the ring business, .38's in .357's. They shoot low velocity loads that probably don't burn as clean as full house, hot loads. But if all they shoot are .38's, then as HRC says, What difference, at this point, does it make...?

Baker created that myth to sell more cylinders.

Rossie sounds like a Keltec with another name.

This thread wants me taking my M94 45 Colt loaded "large frame Ruger Blackhawk" style with the 260 grain Partition to the next 'fire hog hunt. My eyes are marginal with opens these days so a 1-4X Leupold will likely be mounted though the mounted Skinner barrel mount peep helps a bunch. It shoots this bullet via IMR 4227 very well.

My 41 Mag 1894S Marlin has served well, and I have never felt under gunned.

My late brother was an avid gun nut and reloader. After he passed away his wife asked me to help her sell all the reloading equipment and supplies, along with the ammo. She told me just to keep what I couldn't sell. Ended up with a lot of odd and ends, including about 500 rounds of 45 Colt reloads that were for a pistol he had. Even though I trusted his reloading, I wasn't going to sell reloaded ammo to someone. So, I bought a Rossi in 45 Colt just so I could shoot the ammo. The rifle is accurate and works flawlessly, and even though it's an "off-brand". However, it's probably never going to do anything but sit in a safe, as I just never shoot it.

Roger that.
