RE: Japchester Stock - beltfed - 02-07-2022
This is a Modern Browning Low Wall. They have been chambered for modern cartridges in smokeless pressure ranges. 243, 260 rem and others.
This one \was originally a 45 Long Colt Traditional Hunter model. I got the Krieger 10 twist barrel installed.
I also have the Dan Theodore reamer that was used.
I shot this rifle back in my early days. Initially with smokeless loads to fire form the formed 405 Hornady brass
Then with BP after that and a 380 grain GG bullet at the time. The skinny stock was a problem with recoil and torque control .
Now, I have the 371360E DDEPP bullet to try in it. If I buy it back... I will put a better buttstock on it as per the above discussion.
Other option after trying it again as is, if it is still troublesome, I could always get it set back and rechambered for 38-50RH

I have a low wall but it's in the .22 LR.
In the past I wanted to rebarrel it to a .256 because back in the 60's I had this caliber in a Marlin Mod 62 levermatic that was a fine shooter very effective out to 200 yards. I might still have some brass but it can be made easy from .357 mag cases.
But I was advised that the low wall was iffy for strength for the round.
