Enjoyed your article on the 40-65 in the latest Handloader issue , if your interested in trying some patch to bore diameter paper patch bullets send me a pm. I hope you bust a doe or two with it this fall.

NICE! I didn't see the article, but do have a 1892 year model '86 in 40-65, 'short rifle?' I think they are called, loaded with black powder and a cast lead 250gr flat nosed grease groove bullet at 1610 fps, it's one of the most fun to shoot rifles I have, iirc Bud said the little bullet had a BH of around 15, it should punch a deer pretty easy, we should all hunt deer with them this fall, then report our findings.

A rifle loony in the truest sense. Looks like a fun gun, indeed. And well written, as usual.

I just received the last Rifle issue. Why do some people get their magazines a month ahead of others?
I prefer classic.
