Trolls are cowards, hiding behind a computer screen. I don't think they'd say to a man's face what they so often write from the obscurity of their den. They've got to put others down to make themselves look big, at least in their own eyes. They dogmatically spew out information as to appear expert, only to reveal their ineptitude. It's a function of the electronic age, I guess. I like modern gadgets, but cherish the old days when a man was a man and worms didn't dare crawl around in daylight. Even skunks move mostly at night. Daylight skunks, at least in my yard, tend to get blasted. Now, if those skunks just had a computer... IMHO, DF

Ah, Gene, you're so genteel . . . . . . . . . and so right about this nutpack. I've seen Swampthang on a number of sites in the last 8-10 years. His . . . . ahem! "following" is always the same. Tough being right all the time . . . . . . . just ask him.

Swampytroll, why don't you get lost. I was waiting to see how long it will be 'till your Ruger #3 45/70 is a piece of [bleep] because it key holed on one of your reloads or you tried 20 grains of bullseye as a reduced load.( Don't try it)
By the way guys, Swamptroll joined the Ruger forum. Funny how he claims that Ruger No.1's are inaccurate but yet he buys one!!!

Yep!I even got pictures.I've got pictures showing all the targets when it was spraying instead of grouping.I had the pictures when Swamprabbit claimed I was lying.I just havn't uploaded them to photo bucket.
I carry a digital camera in my pickup most all the time.When something waaaaay out of the ordinary happens -like a modern rifle shooting this bad - I'll take pictures in case I want to illustrate a thread or make a point.
It was a combination of things:Switching shooting positions , ranges , and loads just made it harder to figure out.It must have been the scope base was loose , although it seemed tight even when I removed it.
I've not much experience shooting lever actions off the bench and I find that this one is more sensitive to forearm placement than even a Ruger No.1.That obviously doesn't explain the spraying , but I can get a 6 inch vertical variation by moving the front rest.
Anyhow : It will put two factory 240's in the black at 80 yards , about an inch between them.It puts 2 of the 320 gr. cast performance within an inch of each other but about 6 inches below the factory bullets.
The 240 cast won't shoot and I expect it's due to the smaller diameter as someone on here suggested.
I'm going to leave thi 1X4 leupold on it and just let my 45 70 take a rest this Fall .I'll get the old Redfield back from repair by next Fall.
I'll soon find out what the 320 CP's will do to a hog.
THAT's when I'll post some pictures!
Thanks to all .

I've got a Ruger No.1 in 270 Wby that's bone-stock except for a set trigger and I'll shoot it against anybody's factory 270 for money,marbles , or chalk.That's with 130 XXX and IMR 7828 .

CD,
With the narrow forearm on lever guns, I like to hold the forearm in my hand, resting my hand on the front rest with the toe of the stock on the rear pad. It seems to be more consistent that way. I hold the gun tight with good pressure against my shoulder and a good, solid cheek weld. I get my best groups with that technique.

I just said I don't own a #1 nor have I ever. I've never used any Bullseye either.
A very well known gun scribe once stated..."If Ruger ever made an accurate gun, it must still be at the factory." The M77s & the #1s are well known for being a "pig in a poke." Every once in awhile you find one that shoots. If you do, hang on to it.

A truck window is no place to shoot from and likely it isn't legal to hunt from. The guy's an idgit.
What about shooting from a golf cart...? DF Swampy will only shoot from a golf cart if it's an azz shot.... George

Did you steal the golf cart you azz shot that deer from or did it belong to one of your geriatric "friends"?

The John Deere belonged to the owner of the farm. It was used to bring the buck back to the house from back on the ridge near the river. I can't even drive the thing. No use for road hunters like Tex here.
