  2. Want. Love the colour case hardening on the receiver. It would be big brother to my .357 Model 92 with the 16" barrel.

    1. Nope. I've got a 444 and those aren't 444 rounds.

  8. I got over the 45-70 thing back in the 90's. The Universal 308 will handle whatever comes my way. Well, that and a 22.

    1. Yes. Hornady designed the plastic tips on that type of ammo to flex under recoil so as to not dent the primer of the round ahead of it in the magazine.
