Straight wall rifle calibers

I never shot the 45-70 mauser but he was shooting off my bench one day when it went off his hair flew up like he was in a wind storm. I didnt shoot it. Doug

me and my wife both have the 350 legend in a ruger american gen 1 and gen2 get the 22 inch barrel it's more accurate then the shorter barrel we both use hornady american whitetail 170 grn interlock with a leupold 350 legend scope my wife shot a black bear with it in canada and it did great I also shot a doe with mine at 130 yards and it went about 10 feet and was dead I'm happy with mine and it's pleasant to shoot.

I bought one of those old Siamese Mausers. I did a bunch of research and found that they “could” be loaded very hot. I was younger and thought that was a great idea! I put it away, waiting for the time to do some testing. A few years (6-8) passed before I found that time. The first “hot load” test reminded me that I had gotten older and heavy recoil was more painful than fun. It’s a neat rifle to own but I shoot milder loads in it, these days.

I own 5 .45/70s, I can attest that the Ruger #1 can be loaded to just under retina-detaching...kills on one end, wounds on the other!

Wanting to buy for deer hunting out to 200 yds does anyone have any experience with 350 legend 400 legend or 450 bush master ?

I don't but many of my buddies do. They started out with the 450 and some still shoot it but some dropped into the 350 when it showed up and some went into the 400 Legend. Seems the 400 Legend is the ticket based on the ballistics and recoil combined per their opinions.

That lower drawer has good ventilation.

30 Carbine. Still on topic with a straight wall case, well a bit of taper.
Was done before I worked there. A few holsters in the drawer are now "custom."
