Well look at this.
A 30wcf case I pulled out of the top of a rotting post. I pushed it in about 15 years ago! Next to it is also one of my old 243 cases!

Can't stand the smell of Eleys. To me they stink when fired, don't know if it's the waxy coating or what.
Think it's their primer mate. I quite like it, which means it stinks and probably gives you cancer!

I have a Baikal .410 Hushpower and I find it great fun to use. The only downside is that your aiming is affected by the moderator. You get used to it though, but it renders the bead at the end of the barrel impractical.
I wish the barrel ran through an eccentric axis of the moderator.
Aiming would be more natural then.

Between 30/30 and 357 there is little between them power wise. One is legal for deer and one isn't. Go figure!

At what distance are these rifles accurate up to,a lad I know has a rifle similar looking to yours am sure he said it was called a Henry would that be right
Yes, Henry repeating arms.
Originally built around the Erma leveraction of Germany and now expanded with similar designs of Marlin and Browning BL series.
Accurate for what is the next question?
My first Winchester in 30/30 I use to regularly shoot crows and rabbits to 150yards.
Forget the words tactical and sniper and replace with " comes up like a shotgun".
They fly to the shoulder and track a moving target naturally.
This was my last leveraction, a Winchester legacy in 357m. I could down load it for small game.
Or have it zipping along for up to 150yd fox shooting.

Hush power 4.10 are unbelievably quiet only down side is there a tad heavy, I’ve one for sale because of weight, the weight wouldn’t normally be a problem but this year I suffered some nerve damage which has taken a lot of strength out of my right arm so I am selling mine.
Hope you get better soon.

Well I pulled it off, no not that!
I managed a three hour hobbling session.
It took me ages to walk the chosen rout intact I can't tell if it's the surgery or the size of my nut sack that is slowing me down! How them squirrels jump about with nuts that large I'll never know!
Put some food down for my birds and made my way back under some scotch pines hoping for a squirrel or two. Got eight!
Jess loves her squirreling.
Yours truly.
I used fiocchi today #6 I think they are 11g and a few nobelsportitalia 14g #6. They have way more punch.
It was good to use the 410 again.

Managed a walk tonight before dark. I was going to shamelessly ambush a pheasant with the 410 but he busted me!
I did also find a tiny piece of coal watching me!
It's amazing what you see when you have to shuffle along slowly!
Feel excited now about tomorrow am if weather report good. Might just tote the 410.

Ahhhh. Now we are getting to the truth!
The mother in law!! You're screwed, you'll never win! Or be good enough.
It's taken over thirty years for mine to accept me and I can tell you, it wasn't a gun that needed the moderator!!
Best of luck with that but at 70yds and your involved (the son in law) I bets she can hear a pin drop!

Get well soon Nath,dont let Jess,s frustration drag u back out too soon ,Dem Hernias although fashionable arent nice things to be carrying .Much easier to be waited on hand n foot though if you mrs is like mine you,l get given a list of jobs to do and be told "man up"
You've met my Mrs then!
Feeling better today already. Might be able to hobble up the track with the 410 tomorrow
Jessymardass was pleased to see us home ten hours later, glad I took her out beforehand. She sniffed the area immediately, they know more than we think!
The folks at Leighton hospital are brilliant. Kind and compasionate, they deserve much much more.
Now you lot, if you need something looked at get it done!

Here's the thing lads. What if they stuck a fac spring in your gun to make "sure" it goes over the 12ftlb? Now I'm not saying they do this but hey they could .the law can be as corrupt as the next man
Certainly possible. A squirt of easy start would be easier or WD!

We don't count it till its over 100mph here pal!
Cauterize with black powder whilst taking a good lungful of the smoke, you'll be up and at em in an hour with even more vigor
Seriously though, just keep moving and get out when you feel fit. All the very best mate.
The black powder wonder drug yes, of course!
Thanks mate.

I will mostly be in the operating theater!
Hernia job
I just had to get out in the wind, it's blowing a hooley here and it's wonderful.
How is it up there Gav?
Anyway, two squirrels will do. The teal whizzing over the hedges were fantastic but always caught me off guard. Lovely to watch all the same.
The picture.
Anyway, what tips you all got for post op recovery?
Poultice mixtures?
