WTB long-range rifle

[The Original Lumpy Gritz]

L'Red, what I spoke of is fact about the '65. I is NOT, a put-down in any way.

You are not the only .40-65 shooter in this conversation(I was 1 too)

Also-No one shoots .45 cal 405-420gn FP in BPCR SS-rifles, in any serious and real long range events.

Most .45 cal shooters use 500-540 gn or so bullets designed for such use.

I use a Paul Jones grease groove- 540 gn Creedmoor, that I cast 30:1 for both my Shiloh .45-70 and .45-90 rifles.

I used the same bullet style for the .40-65 also.

Here is a good source for custom bullet molds, now that Paul Jones has closed up shop.

If you're ever out in my neck of the world-Bring your '65, and we can head over to a 600 yd private range about 20 minutes from my place to ring some steel.

IF you are still in the market for a long range rifle, I have a Marlin 336 in cal .38-55. It's in excellent condition and has much better than average wood. It is fitted with a Marbles Tang site which has multiple apertures, Lyman front globe site also with multiple apertures. A 3 die set RCBS along with RCBS shell holder. At the moment I have 44 rounds loaded plus 32 additional cases, all of which have been fired in this rifle only. I also have a pound of IMR 4198, 250 large rifle primers, and approx. 250 RNFP bullets 245 gr. ,380 diameter. If you are interested just let me know. Its

Already bought a 38-55 Marlin 336 from Bridger thanks

Thanks for the reply. If you had not already been told, there was a fair amount of variation in chamber and barrel diameter in these guns. Marlin got every pennies worth out of their reamers. Check your barrel diameter and buy lead to match for best results.

Sharps? Springfield? Hi Wall????

[Seawolf, SASS 53736]

Had the same idea a few years back. Bought a 45-70 Pedersoli Sharps target rifle-think that's what it's called and a long range soule sight set up. Never got it together and rifle has never been shot. Think the barrel is about 34 in long oct to round and the rifle weighs 12 er 13 lbs. Should have boxes an all tucked away-Gun down in safe. PM you.

Still got it? How much?
