The problem with the boar shot in the head was strictly the bullet, not the cartridge. A hard cast, blunt nosed lead alloy bullet would have penetrated right through. Hell, I've dropped big piggies with that same .357 Marlin that this blog owner uses, only with hard cast 180 grain bullets.<br /><br /> I also have a Brazilian clone of the 1892 Winchester in .45 Colt that will shoot JHPs for deer and hard cast 300+ grain bullets faster than the old BP level buffalo guns.<br /><br /> For the non handloader, there is always Buffalo Bore.Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01328124105257667842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20147126.post-25969204883024059792012-09-02T07:05:41.090-05:002012-09-02T07:05:41.090-05:00I have a Henry in .44.

I got to shoot one long before the T2 movie and fell in love with the sheer wackiness of it. Oh my god, is that strange, strange gun. It handles surprisingly well for such a clunky-looking machine.<br /><br />And, while The Duke is right up there as an alltime favorite, his terrifying use of his large-loop 92 to 'point' at things and people terrifies me anytime I watch any of his movies... I just want to duck. "So, Pilgrim..." <br /><br />Me: "Gyah!

Happened to a man I loaned mine. He had it butt down in the pickup foot well, opened the door, rifle fell out butt first, went off, and put a hole in the roof. He had powder burns on his face.Well Seasoned Foolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16670165728759453075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20147126.post-54674315352576058922012-08-31T21:54:22.797-05:002012-08-31T21:54:22.797-05:00ONFO - I'm assuming you're talking about j...ONFO - I'm assuming you're talking about just the ones shown: .30-30, .357, .22.<br /><br />I'm pretty certain that <a href="https://www.buffalobore.com/index.php?l=product_list&c=2" rel="nofollow">Buffalo Bore's</a> .444 Marlin heavy, or .45-70 "Magnum"¹ loads, in excess of 3000 ft/lbs, would allow you to keep your shirt.<br /><br />¹ Of course, not intended for Allin conversions/Trapdoor actions.<br /><br />an Donalbanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06418506325893352676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20147126.post-84571839273998690252012-08-31T21:21:59.698-05:002012-08-31T21:21:59.698-05:00I've got a Marlin 1894 and a 336, and just lov...I've got a Marlin 1894 and a 336, and just love them both.<br />A lever gun just isn't "threatening" even though they'll still blow the beejesus out of stuff!drjimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05647484115197408897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20147126.post-16097047602993170662012-08-31T19:38:04.128-05:002012-08-31T19:38:04.128-05:00AND they are just plain fun!!!
