![]() ![]() OK, since I've gone and asked the question, I'll fill in the details: 158? I may have had a bad batch of 158 grain RNFP's, because at 25 yards the shots touched each other and at 50 yards the shots, honestly and literally, were all over the cardboard backing for the target, probably amounted to groups of, literally, 18 inches! With 125 grain bullets, the 25 and 50 yard shots were touching. Which is less of a problem/hassle?Īlso, does anyone know if the Winchester model 94 Trappers have a special liking for 125 grain bullets vs. I've heard of people having to scrub the copper out or having to scrub the lead out, etc. So, the first question is, am I better off with lead bullets in RNFP or jacketed, semi-jacketed rounds in terms of cleaning hassle, potential for damage to the bore, etc? I fired off 100 rounds of lead RNFP and it did not seem to be too tough to clean the lead out (did I miss something?), and then I fired off 100 semi-jacketed hollow points, and again, cleaning was pretty routine. 44 Special Henry lever rifle while I figure out about reloading.) My fathers 357 Trapper feeds anything with the rifle at any angle.I picked up a Winchester model 94 Trapper (to be my main shooting rifle for range work and to try to get something that is fun to shoot but costs less per shot than my.

Once you locate the spring it is pretty obvious how it works. Working the action slowly watch the rim and see where it is stopped. If you handload make up a few action dummies and put one in the magazine. I have seen two of these springs bent over and allowing the cartridge to slip past. Look at the carrier where the lever comes up through it and look forward of this looking for a small bent flat spring. If you cannot see it, move the lever the last little bit and raise the carrier. With the lever down and the bolt back look around for this spring, you may or may not be able to see it at this point. When the lever comes up there is an additional small spring on the lever which helps to hold the cartridge at a horizontal position and to prevent it from sliding back under the carrier. With the rifle unloaded, open your action just enough to slide the bolt back but not enough to raise the carrier.
