Dem heavy boolits do hurt a bit. I traded my 1895 off for a Cowboy model..well actually bought the CB and sold my Micro groove because the CB shoots lead boolits so much better. Been trying to get a moose license so I can go up in the black timber and shoot one with the ol banger and 400 grain lead boolits. All the moose I see are under a 100 yds. and it would be kinda neat to do a moose with that caliber. Even the 300 grainers are not fun to shoot off'n the bench..shooting at game is a I didn't feel the gun go off thing..kinda sorta. Shot a yote the other morning with it.. He was close..about 35 yds and not such a large one..but there is a 30 dollar bounty on 'em right now in our area. Cattlemens assoc puts it on evey year to thin the yotes down in calving season..which is now thru February. Seems like a cold time O' de year to be calving. but there are good reasons for it
