My favorite all around rifle. I inherited mine & my Dad bought it in early 1952 and it was 3-4 years old. Everything it has hit have been one shot kills & most fell over dead where they stood. I make notes on your bullets, loads, powders, primers, BC & SD etc. Lots of WAY useful on your channel and thanks so much for doing the work and posting these.
I’ve recently acquired 100 NOS Winchester brass for 348. I’ve got plenty of powders and primer. Also several sources for bullets from folks who have a lot and are willing to sell to me at a very good price. All I have to do now is complete negotiations with a friend for purchase of one of his 71’s!😂 He’s making me a pretty good deal. I think.
My Win 71 is at MOA with RL 19.......20 years with RL 19 and the 250 Barnes FN in Alaska. I gave both my sons a 1952 Win 71 for xmas last year. All our Win 71 have Redfield Peep sights. Sure is a good 200 yard gun.
I feel fortunate to have a couple Browning 71's in .348. 1 in each barrel length, My Favorite lever action rifles. I have scrounged up quite a bit of ammo and components over the years. A 71 with a receiver sight and sling swivels is just about perfect. In north america nothing except maybe the biggest Bears is to much. Always enjoy videos about the .348
I have a browning 71 .348 but have hunted with it. I love lever guns and have shot much game with them. Mostly with my Marlin 45/70's. I have shot water buffalo and Red stag in Argentina with my marlin cowboy in 45/70 using the 405 gr Woodlieghs and it was great fun! I'm planning on going to Africa for Cape buffalo this year and will be shootin my 1886 Winchester in 45/90 and 405gr Woodlieghs at around 2150fps and Barnes solids right behind them!
Look for a channel by leverguns 50. He has a 50-110 and 45-90 and really demonstrates the capability of the big levers. Woodleighs are pretty great and I bet those solids just keep on rolling!
That’s great........ can’t wait to see the collaboration. Good Luck. I think a lot of people would be interested in the resizing technique you gents will be using. Thanks. John
I love those older guns. Today’s plastic stock rifles just don’t have the same character or workmanship. I have many rifles but I enjoy hunting with my .35 marlin and my wool jacket.
I love my 71 short tang deluxe. Comes up like a shotgun. I really like the bolt pep sight, very compact. I have shot 1 1/2" groups with it off the bench with 200gr Hornadys.
thanks for great video and i have a 348 myself and the 71,86 and 92 winchesters i think are best lever guns ever made i just wish we could hunt with them in ohio i have a marlin 45-70 to deer hunt with,,, you do a great job explaing handloads to take care and god bless
Thanks so much. It's getting a bit harder to have a hunting focus on TH-cam especially when you start to discuss reloading and rifles but that's part of the game so I'll keep going. The 45-70 is a pretty great all-rounder if you are not a long range nut! Thanks for subscribing and I'll keep on going.
Are you saying you cannot hunt with a Winchester .348, 1886 or a model 92 in Ohio? Why not, you say you hunt with a Marlin in 45-70 cal. for deer (so it can't be the calibers), why can't you use the Winchesters?
Pet Loads by Ken Waters! What a great resource. Try the 35 Whelen in a '95 Winchester, 250 grain Nosler Partitions @ ~2550 fps. love the old lever actions with peep/receiver sights. More challenge, more fun. Thanks for the videos!
You're one lucky dude to have such a fine rifle. It would indeed be something to give a man pause shooting such a rifle with its totally original configuration in such excellent condition, out of concern for its considerable collector value; but it's in a way nice that you have one that had its barrel bobbed, making it much easier to justify taking it out hunting. It's terrific to see a dedicated hunter using that beast for bringing home lots of top quality protein.
I've got a Winchester 71 .348 Deluxe made in 1937, four digit serial number. I bought it in the early 80's and hunted whitetail's successfully for many years. Mine has the standard open sights. And I agree, it's absolutely the finest lever action rifle going. I wouldn't trade it for any other one.
I finally ran across a slew of Model 71 rifles lately. There was a local collector hereabouts, he put up two original Model 71 Winchester Deluxe models, both excellent, although his prices are a bit high. With those he put up for sale three Browning 71's, he had bought one for each of his sons and none of them wanted the guns or did anything with them. So he put all five up for sale, two of the Brownings have sold, the third is a carbine, new in the box, never fired, that one had a very nice price tag of $925, so I put a deposit on the gun, I realized I wasn't ever going to get a better chance. Nice thing is I have a good 9-10 months before hunting season to work up some loads for it.
Just gathering newsprint....going to test the other older bullets as well with three shots each at high and low speed except for the 250 Silvertips which will get 2 each and I'll keep one.
Might try sizing down Speer .358 cal 180 and 220 flat points to 348 for cheaper and solid alternative. Watched a video a while back where this was done with the 180’s in a 348 and performance was unaffected by the sizing operation. Think the TH-cam channel was Leverguns50. Just a suggestion. Thanks for the great videos.
180 grain Speer data is not in manual #4, it's in the #3 manual. Per your recommendation I bought #4 and then I had to buy #3 since that's where the 180 grain Speer data is.
I love lever action rifles. Liked your video at the bottom. Love the .348 as well as the .356 cartridge lever guns. That being said let's look at the word "ever". Now put the letter "L" in front of the word "ever".
Have you tried any .348 bullets from Hawk, I believe they have a 180 grain, 200 grain, 250 grain and 270 grain, there is or was a custom 300 grain billets they also have jacket thickness such as .50 or point .35
To North61 Pleased to hear from you info ;) I'm able to find some brass here in France In 50-110. So it's cheaper than Hornady's 348Win. Concerning the "Weird Primer" I'll check how it's made on this 50-110. I already did some hard conversion such as 7.62x54r Steel Berdan into Boxer primer ;) I have the tools and also a lathe..... So hope this would be fun to do ;). Thanks for your Welcome into your Club ;) Smart and I appreciate. For Info thanks to the Duke and others actors I got the virus of Winchester-Marlin-Henry-Browning.... I've at home several Lever Action such as 1866 / 1873 / 1886 / 1887 / 1892 / 1894 / 1885....1895GS Marlin etc... For Reloading I've lot's of choice : 30-30win / 44-40win / 32-40win / 33wcf / 7-30Waters / 32Win Spl / 38-55Win and soon 348Win and 405Win "Big Medecine".
Excellent video on a fine rifle and much ignored caliber! I also appreciated hearing how you felt about the "modification" that had been done to the rifle as I feel the same way about my fine old Savage 99 in .250-3000 (it says so right on the barrel....In other words NOT just .250 Savage) that a previous owner apparently tried to turn into a varmit rifle at some point. I paid well under $1000.00 for my '99 in 2017 and don't feel guilty at all taking it into the woods and brambles.
I managed to find a Savage 99 in 284 Win. Great caliber! Somehow the collectors status of these hit later in Canada so it was a great price. But. yes the modifications on my 71 helped me own a great firearm that I can actually use without guilt. Thanks for the sub!
I think I must have scratched my '99 itch at just the right time as within weeks of purchasing the rifle mentioned above I saw the prices basically hit the roof. The funny thing is, I don't collect firearms for the sake of collecting them. I've always been a practical kind of person who only buys those things, in this case a rifle, that are fully functional, or can be made fully functional, and are practical for helping fill the freezer.

north61 it would be perfect for Alaska, if you need any reloading information or anything let me know, it’s probably the easiest Cartlidge I have ever reloaded for, it’s a lot easier to get reloading stuff now days, and the shells are cheaper than 348 win.
It’s been years ago but I had Montana rifleman re-barrel and chamber for $750 they did an excellent job, made the chrome alloy barrel right there at their place to the specs ask him to make it to, very intelligent people there and friendly, that was back in like 2002

I don't shoot with the sling so I am not sure. Love the Ackley improved and would convert in a Browning but not an original Winchester. 200 more FPS is significant and improved case life at the risk of clunkier feeding
@@north61 I have run some numbers on the ballistics chart and inside of 300 yards the Ackley improved 348 exceeds the 3006. And I don't have beyond that anyway Plus you have the super handy ergonomics of the 71. 👍

I don't think there are any consistent rules. In this rifle Magnum Primers make a big difference with IMR 4451. I have shot enough groups to say this with statistical certainty. With H414 no such pattern exists and I use standard primers. I wish I was getting lighter but in truth my black shirt is simply slimming. Still a fat lad underneath but working on it.
I used a .350 lead ball round loaded with Unique and a filler to about 900fps. Rimfire ballistics don't tear up too much meat. ck out this video at about the 2 minute mark th-cam.com/video/HUvnqbFlHz4/w-d-xo.html
Dear Sir, I just bought a Winchester in .348Win, but seems to be hard to find the brass for reloading. I mean I don't want to buy cartridges, I'm looking for the brass and here in France it's not spread on the market and the unit price only for the brass is about 3-4 euros each !!!! Anyone knows from which caliber can I reform into .348Win ? Many thanks to all :)
Welcome to the club Remy. Hornady sells the brass but here it's almost as cheap to buy the ammo from Hornady (It;s very good) and use it , Reforming is a problem. You can neck down 50-110 brass but it is hard to find as well.
Welcome to the 348 Club! The 50-110 can be necked down but hard to find. If you can deal with the weird primers(haha) the 11x59 Gras can be necked down but corrosive primers might have degraded the brass. The 8mm Lebel will be too short. Best bet is to buy new Hornady ammo and reuse the brass once fired.
I don't resize them as they are soft enough to swage in the bore. Coat in a margarine container with Lee liquid Alox and put on a paper towel to dry and soak extra. 4 g, unique I use a light crimp.
Great video. Do you work with any 44 Remington magnum loads? I am trying to find a powerful and accurate round. 350 +p+ for a Henry mares leg. Any advice would be great.
north61 and Mike Price If you'd like a partition type bullet in .429 diameter still in production since Nosler discontinued their entire Partition Gold (partition bullets for handguns) line, you'll both be happy to know that Swift currently makes their A-Frame in that diameter with 240 grain, 280, grain, and 300 grain offerings. Assuming that you can get decent groups with them, you should be able to hunt even the likes of moose, as long as you're within relatively short range to maximize velocity on impact, say about 50 yards.
what north61 said. Also, if you get into reloading, you can roll your own ammo. If you don't want to do all that, have a friend who already has a reloading setup make up some for you, with you providing him the dies and components, naturally. It would be worth it to be able to dust off that little beauty at the range or even hunting!

excellent videos ,, I am considering buying a 348 what is the recoil like as compared to a 45/70 or maybe a 30/06?
Very similar to a 30-06, but a bit more of a push with less snap. 8 pound rifle soaks up lots of the heat.
Your videos have me sold,,, I really need a 348 ,, plus I have huge hole in my rifle lineup between my 338/06 and my 35 whelen
I have been there mate!
Suggest RL 19 with Barnes 250 FN or 200 Hornady FN excellent in my 348 win
Yup I have read that RL 19 is a great 348 Powder but have such good luck with my present loads I haven't branched out yet! Thanks.
Any idea why the pickiness regarding primers? Is that a common trait?
Also, looks like you've been shedding some of that inbuilt human pack weight - excellent stuff!
I don't think there are any consistent rules. In this rifle Magnum Primers make a big difference with IMR 4451. I have shot enough groups to say this with statistical certainty. With H414 no such pattern exists and I use standard primers. I wish I was getting lighter but in truth my black shirt is simply slimming. Still a fat lad underneath but working on it.
I'd imagine the magnum primers get a more consistent powder burn.
Might be due to the big case firing slow powders at moderate pressures
I rock the 348 in Nome, Alaska
It's really a great round for this Northern hunting thing.
The 45-90 and the 405 win work well too. Father shot a moose with a 44WCF, was a little weak for the task

I lightly crimp with a Lee Factory Crimp die. 4 grains of unique with a dacron filler
Great video. Do you work with any 44 Remington magnum loads? I am trying to find a powerful and accurate round. 350 +p+ for a Henry mares leg. Any advice would be great.
I have a Rossi Carbine. Lil Gun with 250 Nosler Partitions but they stopped making them. Amazing bullet. 300 Sierras and 4227 is my new go to.
north61 and Mike Price If you'd like a partition type bullet in .429 diameter still in production since Nosler discontinued their entire Partition Gold (partition bullets for handguns) line, you'll both be happy to know that Swift currently makes their A-Frame in that diameter with 240 grain, 280, grain, and 300 grain offerings.
Assuming that you can get decent groups with them, you should be able to hunt even the likes of moose, as long as you're within relatively short range to maximize velocity on impact, say about 50 yards.
want another 71? im in florida just got one. doesnt look like i can shoot it (no factory ammo)
Too much trouble to export from USA to Canada but thanks for thinking about me. If you look hard enough ammo will appear!
what north61 said.
Also, if you get into reloading, you can roll your own ammo.
If you don't want to do all that, have a friend who already has a reloading setup make up some for you, with you providing him the dies and components, naturally.
It would be worth it to be able to dust off that little beauty at the range or even hunting!
Luke Newman I’d be interested if you still have it
glen lyon range 1979
Fucking cannon.
Take a look at the 338 marlin express, I am a 348 fan and I like the marlin better...
