Nampa Idaho gunshow 3/1-3/2

[nitroxdiver]

There will be approx 30-35 tables of military surplus sellers all grouped together at this gunshow. Even some sellers coming from out of state. We may even have some display vehicles inside. Also some military collection display tables. Hope to see y'all there.

I might try to make the show on Sunday - been practicing for the PC lever action silhouette match this Saturday AM and the smallbore match to follow. Going out there today to practice on some of the silhouettes they've got out. I think they are PC targets. Decided on .41 mag using 8 grains unique and a 210 gr Hornady XTP for about 1050 FPS for the "ego busting" handgun event. Loaded them up about 20 years ago and they still did fine. Those critters at distance are going to present a serious challenge!

The .41 mag is my favorite cartridge. What gun do you use? I have S&W 57's, 58's, Ruger, Taurus, Freedom Arms, and a Marlin and Henry lever action rifles.

I'm using a Smith and Wesson 657 with 7.5 inch barrel. I too, enjoy reloading and shooting the .41 - way underrated cartridge, IMO. A heavy revolver that doesn't recoil much - I keep the loads on the middle-light side. Hope I can knock down a ram if I hit one! Is your Marlin an 1894?
