Hey FREEZER I love it. Work over your Bolts to get em as good as our box stock Levers. We know its all in fun.
Guns are like a box of chocolates, you never know what ur gonna get. ah,,,,Where have I heard that before?
One thing that always gets me is on gun tests off of lead sleds and the like, the accuracy is always up to the gun and the load. Never the operator. Some days it seems I cant hit any part of the target and I know its not the gun.

I must admit my Savage had a trigger job and I polished the barrel. But I say again if your bolt can'y keep up with my lever, it needs some work!

Like someone said, levers right out of the box are just as accurate as bolt guns at medium ranges or less.  Only reason bolt guns can be  more accurate is they are easier to customise and tweek.  Like floating barrels, heavy barrels, good scopes, trigger jobs, etc.

My Blr's will shoot sub moa 3 shot groups with their favored ammo, if I do my part.
 A person doesn't necessarily have to have a scoped lever to shoot iddybiddy groups.
 This is 4 rounds at 100 yds from my winchester 95 in 405, equipped with the lyman 38 repro sight.

Ranch 13,  my 405 is not quite that accurate (or maybe it's me.)  I load the Lyman 412263 over 28 grains of 5744.  Maybe I need to retest some loads.  I do have some 350 grain bullets but have not tried them.

Ranch13,

Does he seat the bullets deeper in the case?  I would think that a bullet that long would not work in the magazine.  Any details would be appreciated.  Even though I use my 405 WCF for a woods walking rifle, if I can coax a little more accuracy from it, I might be interested.  Crap, there I go trying for a "little more",  I have to be careful and remember the purpose of this rifle, enjoyable time spent out of the house and not looking at groups on paper.

No they're just seated normal. Work fine thru the magazine it's a bullet designed for the 95, has a big ol meplat, ought to just knock the dogsnot out of anything you shoot with it. It gc shank is designed to work properly with the Hornady 416 checks.
