Subject: BS: Hey rap From: olddude Date: 26 Jun 18 - 12:37 AM Going old school for moose this year. Dragged out my marlin 45-70. That puppy fires a 405 grain bullet large and slow. Just reloaded a bunch. Kicks like a mac truck. I have a Black and blue shoulder. That caliber is 153 years old but still widely in use. Effective range max 150 yards then drops like the titanic. However and thing it hits is immediately hamburger. Look it up. Lever action |
Subject: RE: BS: Hey rap From: olddude Date: 26 Jun 18 - 12:43 AM It was first use and issued to the caverly for the indian wars. They started with a 525 grain bullet with 70 grain black powder load. Many of the guys were knocked off their horse so they switched to 405 grain. Great gun for grizzly bear and will deck a moose in its tracks. You have to lob it in. Flat shooting it’s not |
Subject: RE: BS: Hey rap From: olddude Date: 26 Jun 18 - 01:01 AM The modern powders have pushed it from 1300 fps to over 2000 but it’s still a lobber. Other than a busted shoulder it’s a riot to shoot. You feel like a buffalo hunter |
Subject: RE: BS: Hey rap From: Will Fly Date: 26 Jun 18 - 03:47 AM Enjoy your mooseburgers, Dan. Did you ever fire a black powder weapon? I did once and it almost blew me off my feet! |
Subject: RE: BS: Hey rap From: gnu Date: 26 Jun 18 - 03:23 PM Don't you dare hit him in the blades with that, Dan. High neck or nuthin, although you will lose mincemeat. Of course, if you are close, as you say, a clean boiler room won't lose much meat, if at all but, depends on where you are and where he is. And, 405 grain? Do you have someone to carry your ammo? >;-) |

Subject: RE: BS: Hey rap From: olddude Date: 26 Jun 18 - 08:02 PM Will, I have a black powder rifle it is a beast after I shoot it I can’t see from the smoke and have to look for my shoulder. Maybe went a little heavy on the load:-) |
Subject: RE: BS: Hey rap From: gnu Date: 27 Jun 18 - 05:16 PM Use your .454 Casull. Just call him in close and make sure you bring someone to take care of him after you break your wrist. >;-) |
Subject: RE: BS: Hey rap From: Rapparee Date: 27 Jun 18 - 09:35 PM My .45-70 cartridges are 405 grains, lead flat point. my big bore rifle for that cartridge has a ladder rear sight now; I also have its little brother in .45LC. I recently purchased a Marlin 1894 in .45LC; now I have to take everything out to the range a re-sight it all in. I've pretty much gone from .357 to .45 Colt; I figger that it'll do all I want it to do. In fact, I'm pretty much set for when the buffalo herds return to the golf course out back. We've had mulies and moose and a wolf on the golf course, black bear and grissly are now prowling in the nearby hills, and at least one moose and one mountain lion has been darted and moved by Fish and Game from in-town so far this year. |
Subject: RE: BS: Hey rap From: olddude Date: 28 Jun 18 - 09:54 PM Try putting some hsm 430 grain plus p bear loads. Boy that rattled my teeth. The old 405 grain Remington cor locs are like an 06. My max 405 well they kind hurt lol. Ican make you a box. Gnu the casull is coming with me with max 340 grain penn hardcast rounds I made. If it’s in range I am using the handgun. I have a top of the line burris scope on it and shoot two inch groups at 100 yards with a handgun off a rest |
Subject: RE: BS: Hey rap From: olddude Date: 28 Jun 18 - 09:59 PM Buffalo bore bear load is another where did my shoulder go load. But having a grizzly that close I want some old school force on my side while dressing a moose. You guys wanna go? |
Subject: RE: BS: Hey rap From: olddude Date: 28 Jun 18 - 10:03 PM Giving the size of those costal brown bears I figured my 06 would probably take him down. It would bind up his intestines when he tried to crap out me and my rifle |
Subject: RE: BS: Hey rap From: Rapparee Date: 29 Jun 18 - 09:18 AM Where and when? I've moderated recoil with pads. Can't remember which one at the moment, but it's gel-filled. I'm reminded of the time my brother discovered he could hunt black bear with a spear in Arkansas. He asked me to go along. In response to my question "Why?" he replied that he wanted someone behind him with a BFG. |
Subject: RE: BS: Hey rap From: olddude Date: 29 Jun 18 - 09:36 AM Gotta find those pads after the plus p bear rounds I am a hurting cowboy |
Subject: RE: BS: Hey rap From: olddude Date: 29 Jun 18 - 09:38 AM Alaska next year how about it |
Subject: RE: BS: Hey rap From: Rapparee Date: 29 Jun 18 - 06:45 PM https://www.lcsupply.com/Kick-Killer-Recoil-Pad-Lace-Up/productinfo/KKL/ is what I have for a recoil pad, and I put another in front of it. |
Subject: RE: BS: Hey rap From: olddude Date: 29 Jun 18 - 07:51 PM Awesome |
Subject: RE: BS: Hey rap From: Rapparee Date: 29 Jun 18 - 09:35 PM Sure, why not? |
Subject: RE: BS: Hey rap From: Little Hawk Date: 30 Jun 18 - 01:17 PM Ce que vous devez avoir si vous voulez chasser les ours en toute sécurité est un compagnon de Chimpanzé bien armé avec une mitraillette Thompson. Ou à défaut, utilisez un char Sherman. |
Subject: RE: BS: Hey rap From: olddude Date: 09 Jul 18 - 11:01 PM Got the gel pads they work great |
Subject: RE: BS: Hey rap From: olddude Date: 09 Jul 18 - 11:12 PM I got some called recoil eraser. Wow did they tame down the Buffalo Bore big loads and my hand loads. Can’t believe the difference on the bench |
Subject: RE: BS: Hey rap From: Rapparee Date: 10 Jul 18 - 08:38 PM Yeah, RE has a good rep. More people swear by 'em than at 'em, which is my gauge. |
