    Trout liked post by JohnDuxbury On thread : Advice about an 1892 Winchester
    Black powder is very little problem in a Winchester 92 chambered in .44-40. Just pour some water down the bore after shooting and wipe it out with a couple of patches and then an oiled patch - and...

    Trout liked post by gundoc On thread : Advice about an 1892 Winchester
    Dies, .427" lead projectiles (NOT .429" as in other .44's), and cases are all fairly readily available. The M92 is made strong enough to use with smokeless loads. You are correct with the Saddle...

    Hey guys, 246627 I was fortunate enough to be gifted a Winchester 1892 chambered in .44 WCF. I’m pretty sure it’s a 20” saddle carbine and it was made in 1911 - looked that up on the internet. ...

    I don't have a lot of experience with hunting an animal with a.223. BUT have gone OFF the idea. Surely a calibre needs shot placement to be successful is a failure for ethical hunting of large...

    Personally the style of Red Stag Hunters Club resonates to me. Haven't watched a Duley show in ages, gone off it sorta. Red Stag and Hunting Aotearoa I can relate, close to the type of hunting I do....

    Trout liked post by Wild Hunt On thread : Pushing back a little further
    So this trip didn't happen too long after my last outing. I decided to camp the night on the tops in the Lewis Pass again. Instead of thinking 'easy access' I tried to get off the beaten path a bit...

    isnt it weird/sad that we the shooting community keep making same mistakes/relearn same lesson, year in ,year out..... if you look at critisism levels at the .224s as a whole, for use on deer.........

    Same. I foolishly shot a Fallow buck in the neck a few days ago. Silly thing to do with their current big pre-roar necks. Bullet didn't break the spine and I was lucky to get one into his shoulder....

    Bit of a rubbish morning this morning…. I sent an 80gr ELD-M on its way to a stag, but failed to retrieve it. The stag that is. Shot setup was good, I saw the hit and found and followed a good blood...

    Trout liked post by gilly On thread : .308 round choises 150 grain vs 180 grain on red stags
    Another vote for the 165gr SST. Superb bullet out of a 308 at moderate 2,500-2650 velocities. Or if you can get them 165gr Nosler Partitions - another superb bullet.
