I have a new Rossi R-95 Laminate I'm  working with. Taurus bought them and I'm impressed by the quality of the gun so far. However accuracy with factory ammunition has only been marginal at best. (It might be me? :chuckle:) I bought dies for it but that's as far as I got. Got side tracked with a new 45-70.

Yep, the levergun bug has hit me.. and my wallet.
If I need a permit and education to buy a firearm than women should need a permit and education  before getting an abortion.

If either of you get a wild hair to try something new.....I would be wildly curious how these bullets shoot.  I know the bullet would perform, I shoot a lot of hammers....but I haven't yet tried them in my lever guns.

I would personally go with the lighter of the two listed.   :tup:

Just checked the price of 3031 at Bimart. Wow! $69 a pound. Maybe next month but those bullets look interesting for sure.

Cougartail, did you get a 16.5 r 20" R-95? I looked at the R-95 pretty hard before finding the rifle I have. $69 for 3031...YIKE!
Jrebel, Can't say I've ever ran across Hammer Bullets, but will look into them for sure!
I felt like a one legged cat trying to bury a terd on a frozen pond!

20" barrel.. It's  the new Stainless with Laminate stock. Bought it because I wanted stainless.

Sounds really nice! Looking forward to hearing more on how it shoots.
