I like the 5744 powder with a 360 grn gc Ranchdog lead bullet- very accurate and took a nice Blacktail last year w/ this load.

I noticed Bi Mart has traditions evolution muzzleloader for 179.00. I'm torn between tradional Hawkins style or newer inline.

Looking for a good used Oregon legal muzzleloader, what do you guys suggest I look for and stay away from. I drew a muzzleloader deer tag and have a friend that said I could barrow one of his, but I hate borrowing stuff. Who knows when the next time I will draw this again so I don't want to...

I have 3 45-70's My first I got when I was 18yrs old a 1884 trapdoor springfield cadet model-paid $75.00 the stock had been cut down and the guy thought the barrel had been to-it hadn't. My next was a 45-70 barrel 23" barrel for a contender carbine and this year a like new marlin 1895 guide...

I like a shoulder shot I hunt in steep brushy thick stuff, plus if I hit an elk and it takes off it could run into another hunter who puts the killing shoot on it. 2 spike elk and 2 black bears, 1 muledeer and about 10 blacktail bucks all went down immediately with shoulder shots from a 35...

my 264 wm mag didn't shoot until I replaced the stock, wood stock had nice grain, but fit to metal was not good and from caring it hunting twice the black coating started coming off the pistol grip cap and cap at end of stock exposing green plastic. I was not impressed with the quality since...

I'm in with 2, my 264 wm rem 700 spec. edition, and my very first rifle a 6.5x52 carcano.

everyone should own a 264 wm

I like HS6 and ramshot true blue I cast 255 and 290 grn bullets. I havent found a great load for the 290 grn yet. I have played with lilgun with it.

toss up if it was 22 hornet or 6.5 carcano

went with a egw mount( http://egw-guns.com/store/index.php?mai ... cts_id=254 ) Thought it would be handy to be able to place rings where ever I want. As for rings probably wait tell scope shows up and then see what sportsman warehouse has. Thinkin a leopold weaver mount type for rings.

well getting a nib leupold vxIII 1.5-5 for 300.oo So this should work great on the guide gun.

bigger & heavier is better. I know 250's work great in a whelen so if I had a 358nm I would probably try 280's. Isn't antelopes deadly and you want at least a 375, preferably bigger but 35 cals will get you by.. At least thats what I have gathered from reading post on here. The one exception...

I have a 760 that was converted to 35 whelen from 35 rem. I like it, I have taken 2 bull elk with it, 3 black bears, and about 10 blacktail deer, and a coyote. Its top with a leupold 2-7 vxII with german post #2 reticle. I have had the gun for over ten years and this past year was the first...

the 45-70 is awesome- its fun to shoot, kills critters good- and easy to reload. Plus I cast ranchdog 350 gc bullets- weigh about 362 made of wheel weights and are super accurate-took a nice blacktail with that bullet in my contender last year. I need to come up with a good elk load.

Has anyone used a EGW mount?

I'm going to be mounting a low powered scope on my guide gun on the receiver, just wondering any recommendations on mounts. I was thinking of just going with Leupold dual dovetail since I have a set of low rings. But if there is something neato out there let me know.

Does anyone else wish Nosler still made a 45-70 partition. I would love them to reintroduce a bullet in the 350-380 grain weight. I'm shocked with all the marlins being sold they would discontinue the 45-70 bullet. just my 2 cents

its officially mine- got 4 1/2 boxes of federal 300 hp a box of Remington 300 gn HP and 3/4 of a box of 405 grn remingtons. So I think thats a pretty good deal for $400.00 7 boxes of 45-70 ammo and a almost new guide gun. figure the ammo is almost between 175 to 200 dollars so really I paid $200...

theres been several deer without a scope even at close range in brush- I never would have seen an antler that forks- and close range in brush no time for binoculars. but to each there own, plus the vision in my right eye isn't perfect.
