Hey Ranch, We'll be looking for a report on some close range silhouettes, maybe some gophers at 50 yards, with that gun. I'm guessing you already have bullet molds for it. (If not, let me know.)Shoot sharp, Mike

Mike, yessir I have all the essential stuff, from back in the day when I foolished traded an old Colt and 92 off for a brand new Colt 44 special.... This will be fun and yes I do have some levergun sillywet shooting in mind.
Bruce, ain't that the truth..
RE: Merry Christmas to me - Mike - 11-30-2015
Bravo!! We'll be waiting for your report. Then you'll probably drag me into such doin's too. Shoot sharp, Mike

Had 50 primed ww cases waiting for something to do.. So I filled them with 7.5 grs of lilgun and topped off with a 120 gr bullet from Big Sky components, there's also a box of rounds loaded with a lead bullet and probably unigue or 2400 powder that have been sitting on the shelf gathering dust... now we just need the rifle..

Very nice Don! Now I'll see you on the lever range with my 32-20.

Mike I was thinking as I was loading these this afternoon the levergun match at Alliance might be just about right for this lil bugger. Timberlake shot it with a 25-20.

Rick it is a good turkey gun if you don't hit em in the breast. Take their head or at the base of the wing..
