Just got interested in the lever rifle shooting, plus it seems more laid back. Schuetzen, BPCR, and Long Range has gotten so expensive over the years that I hardly shoot any more. I've have owned a couple of LR's over the years, mainly for hunting. I have been shooting in various rifle competitions for over 50 years. That would get me started in Lever Action shooting. Then I will start looking around for a 9422 in. It has some honest wear and the bore is excellent. I have a friend who wants to sell a Winchester 94 in. Like I mentioned in my first post, I have a 9422M in. Dang, I gotta go back and read that sentence again, I'm sure I could learn something from it It's all about being able to shoot straight whilst standing on your own two feet. What you shoot is not nearly as important as how you shoot. Because of the lower velocities, heavier bullets are a better option over here.Īs Jdad already said, this is not an arms race. At my local club we have mild steel targets so only cast bullets are allowed.

If I was to choose that rifle again, I would go for the 45 colt with the 24" barrel and load it with Ruger/TC loads for the big bore match.ģ0-30 seems the most popular rifle caliber, but from what I read on the steel chickens forum, most people over there use jacketed bullets and full velocity. If, like me, you don't own a rifle in a rifle caliber you will be able to drop the rams at 200 with pistol calibers from 357 up. Pistol caliber depends on my mood, sometimes my open sighted Marlin 32-20 CL, sometimes my peep sighted Marlin 357 cowboy.įor the rifle caliber match I use my 357 with a 180 gr bullet pushed to 1750 fps, which I think is about all I can wring out of it. I use a 39A Marlin, which seems the most popular choice in rimfire. I figure our monthly matches cost me.between gas, convenience store stopping, entry fee and ammo all hits me up for $60-70.but life is short so you gotta play hard. 22 magnum for pistol caliber but the ammo is mighty expensive.a lot more than center fire ammo can be reloaded with cast bullets. I'd have to say most guys use 30-30's, a few 38-55's, 32 Spl. 22 I used a pre war Marlin 39, for pistol caliber I used an 1892 32-20 Winchester, made in 1893 and for big bore I used a Winchester Model 71 in 348.īut I like to mix and match a lot sometimes using Winchester Model 61, 63, or an 1890 for small bore.32-20's, 25-20's, 38-40's, 44-40's of different manufacturers for pistol caliber discipline along with about every "dash" calibered gun ever put in a tubular magazine levergun for big bore including the 40-60 Marlin, 40-65 Win, 45-70, 45-90, 38-55, 25-35.not good on 80 pound 200 meter Rams, 32-40,
