i'm thinking of using my 30-40 krag with cast bullets for hunting deer. i have my 1898 springfield armory cleaned and the lead slug pulled out at .3085". since i don't have everything needed to cast, i chose lead bullets i can buy. i choose hunter supply (...

i have a 1898 springfield armory in 30-40 krag(hehehe i can't believe i got one:D ). i was looking online and i decided to go with the 220gr round nose. since the krag was loaded with 220gr, way back in the day :), i figured why not. i will use it for black bear/deer and i will use the open...

my grandpa gave me a 30-40 krag with a box of bullets(winchester 180gr silvertips) and 9 empties. its a springfield armory model 1898 that has been "sporterized" (meaning a "new" piece of wood) and a 22" barrel. the serial # says that it was born in 1903. all i have to do now is get a set of...

i was planning on getting a 338 federal, but some money issues came up and the federal was not going to happen. while waiting around i came up with the 50-110 sharps in my tc encore. (MGM Barrels makes it). its going to be awhile till i get it, but a 27" heavy factory barrel with 465gr lead...

i've been wanting mgm(suppliers fault) to get a 444 marlin for my tc encore. i started in feburary, and i have brass, powder, and 200 of 265gr hornady fp, but no barrel. i'm going to get it, but a little cartridge is starting to crawl up my back. the 338 federal is the bug. i haven't got...

i was thinking(yes, again), what would be a good deer load in the encore under 250 yards, use 200 grain bullets, and not knock my block off(had a stroke). i am getting a 444 marlin with bellms muzzle brake( as soon as mgm buys the barrel), and i have a 6.5 creedmoor, which does an marvelous job...

20 vartarg 18.7gr of h4198 32gr varmadgen this thing is tough to beat! .2" at 100yds 3shots

i'm currently thinking of a new gun barrel for my encore. i have a 16 1/4" mgm barrel in 20 vartarg, but i would like something a little better. tc encore in 27" mgm barrel in a 22-250 ackley improved, with a rifle twist of 1 in 8" or 9". bullets should be 60-75gr. groundhogs, cotoyes, and foxes...

i might get the 357 max, but my younger brother started talking and said the 444 marlin. it made me wonder, better cast bullets, comes in 100(45-70 comes in 50), beartooth 300-355gr. i'm wondering a little more, so lets get this started ... a encore in 20" mgm factory heavy barrel, laminated...

i have a question about lead bullets. now i don't know, but if i had a bullet made from "pure" lead(comes out of lead water services) can i shoot it out of a 45-70(400gr-450gr) from 1300-1400fps for deer? or does the lead mess up the rifling? i don't have anything to melt antimony. the lead is...

what bullet should i use for a marlin 1895 45-70? i handload, so thats not a problem. this is for my younger brother, wants at least a 400gr bullet, hunts deer in west virginia, and i can do cast bullets( gas checked or no gas checked)(well, whoever makes them!) or jacketed bullets. thanks!!!

this coming year i hope to have a t/c encore 18" MGM Barrel in 357 max. i'm thinking of staying with cast bullets with a gas check. 158-200gr flat nose, what bullets should i use? beartooth, leadmans, or xtreme bullets or someone else? thank you...

whats this years favorite gun/caliber for deer season? i bought mine in encore with a 16 1/4 MGM barrel with a high plains custom gunstock( its a rifle). recoil is nothing to worry about, a 243 it seems like. i have had a stroke, so my right side is about 15-20% good, so i can tell :D;) 120...

i might be getting rid of my tc venture in 25-06, reloading dies, and 80 some pieces of rem brass. i'll be buying a encore in 257 Roberts Ackley Improved, 1 in 10" twist, in a 21" mgm barrel. i sent an email to mgm barrels to make sure it has a 40 degree shoulder, so that is taken care of. i...

which is better? why? (brass, powder, bullets, range, barrel wear, etc)

i am begining to think that the 22br is the right choice for me. here's the deal... t/c encore, 24-26"mgm barrel, and 40-55 grain bullets (maybe 60-65 gr). the choice for me comes with 2 twist rate. 1 in 14" or 1 in 12" twist rates? i'm just not sure which to go with.... yes the encore is worth...
