Thanks for all the replies, and even the question regarding "What the hell is it for?"
The overall handiness of that little rifle, along with very close performance to the 30 WCF available with just a pinch of powder a shot seem like a win win to me.
I have other rifles for hunting, but had an idea that it would be an interesting project. I thought 150 rn's for hogs and maybe the 125 grain Sierra ProHunter for the rest of the year.
Another bullet that I think would be fun to play with out of that case would be some of the old 100 grain Hornady Short Jackets.
It may be that the thought passes, but if one of those rifles had been available at my dealer's distributor today, I'm afraid I would have sent for it.
Some good thinking there Joel...
Like your way of thinking, and it would be handier than a Model 94 ( at least to me..) but 30 cal bullets in 110 grain & 130 grain ( 30/30 Speer) would be something fun to play with...
