Default Coho911 Has Done It Again........ (Pic Heavy)

Just received my leather buttstock shell holder from Quinn. I couldn't be happier. At the beginning i told Quinn of an idea i had and what the shell holder would be going on. From there i pretty much gave him full artistic and creative license as he saw fit. It sure personalizes my 444 Marlin. I received the rifle in a trade just before hunting season. I had traded one away almost ten years ago and it had always been my biggest trade regret and I was ecstatic to be able to right that past wrong. I was able to punch three tags with it this past fall and have since coined it "Hammertime" Its also my vintage (1972) which makes it even that much more special to me. Thank you so much Quinn. Awesome job as usual sir!!!!

Thanks guys, I appreciate it

How is the colour match in person ? it was a tough one to par - up.

Also - I didn't put eyelets on it to save the stock (metal eyelets can mark the wood). But the Suede backing on the stock cover should help.

Question

No question about it, the man does superb work. A question for you 1899b: do you reload FTX ammo for your hammer? home rolled Leverevolution so to speak.

The colour match is great Quinn. No complaints...

I do not. Currently saving my Remington brass to start reloading. May just pull the remaining Remington factory ammo to start reloading sooner. I am going to go with the Hornady 265 grain bullet to start however. Have read too many testimonials in regards to the FTX bullets not stabilizing properly in the older microgroove 1 in 38 twist barrels. What I have surmised from what most .444 owners with 1 in 38 barrels say who have tried is that the FTX style bullet is pretty much a 1 in 20 twist proposition only. I would rather not waste the powder or time to see for myself.
