took the 73 and 76 out to the range

Snuffy · 02-06-2009, 02:58 PM

This I took my range finder and the first steel target is at 203 yards, easy as pie smoked it with both rifles then on to the next one its 301 yards. I could hit with the 73 but not much of a punch, just too far. Aw but the 76 now that is a horse of a different color all together. Had a blast today shoot one 3 pound coffee can of 44-40 that I can use because of the bullet deign. There were made for a 44 Russin and I thought I could use them for the 44-40 big misstake. So I practise loading off the belt a while I am getting better.

nothing like ringing steel at distance.........i would imagine tht 76 could ring it loud enough to be heard in galveston............

I just move the powder charge up .5 grs and its a whole new rifle. I am told that I can go as high as 13 grs, right now I am at 11 grs. Seems to be doing good now. I'll give it some time see how things work out.

Good deal, Snuffy!

203 with open sights is amazing to me. I can hardly see out that far with a scope and a hunnert yards with iron sights is really pushing it.

Good shootin' Snuffy

I shot it on the bench and off the bench to see if I could do it. heck boys this ole man still has it for now.

What does your post have to do with lever guns? I thought we were to stay on the topic? Have I missed something?
