I stopped hunting with my modern bolt action rifles quite a few years ago, and switched to old leverguns and single shots from the 1800's. I have taken deer with .45-70, .40-60 Marlin, .38-55, .32-40, and 38-40 in both styles of gun.
I hunt with just old single shot rifles, and I'm still hoping to bring down an elk with an old single shot.

Couldn't find the image my nephew shot out in the field, but this mule der was killed with my Ballard in .38-55:

Nice buck!

I'd love to here about your loads for the .38s, esp the 38-40 and how it performed on game.

Very cool. Probably the penultimate big bore lever gun.

I love the old lever guns. Single shots or multishots


Curious, is that large lever screw for tool free removal of lever and bolt for cleaning from the breech? Great idea.

Greg, that is exactly what the screw is for. I use blackpowder (46 gr) and a wad and a 250 gr Lyman flatnosed bullet.

The screws are sold on ebay for an exorbitant price, but they work really well. The original screw lives under the buttplate in the meantime.
