[QUOTE="PrairieGhost, post: 217409, member: 704"] I had my dad's Winchester model 43 Hornet. I gave it to the middle son so he could enjoy it. They are not that accurate if you push them for velocity. Mine would shoot excellent if you shot the 45 gr standard bullet at about 2400 to 2500 somewhere in there. I used a lot of 2400 powder. Still do, but in a 44 mag. I'm guessing our friend from Arizona shoots a pile of it too hence his name. Way back in the 1950's I plugged a few crows with that rifle. We will not talk about coot. :) I carried and old Lee loader, bullets, and powder in a blue jean pant leg sowed up. Didn't have enough brass for a whole day of shooting. I loved the debates between Jack O'Connor and Elmer Keith. Jack like small and fast and Elmer like big and slow. Elmer thought anything less than a Winchester 338 was not a elk or even deer rifle. It may be the reason Jack took it upon himself to kill everything with a 130 gr Winchester with 60 gr of H4831. That powder today may strain the old rifle, but that was his go to load back in the day. I guess old age is remembering Jacks load 60 years ago, but can't remember last week. Good to see some other old fellows that remember these things. By the way db2 go try for that 264. [/QUOTE]
