Re: New Savage in .17 WSM Rimfire
I don't think most guys on here want to spend the time it takes to skin and flesh out a nasty coyote for no more than they bring.

Re: !873 Uberti Cattleman
What I still have a hard time with is transitioning my thoughts over from smokeless, where compression is real bad, to black, where it is good. Can black powder be compressed to much?

As I was looking at my gun rack this morning, I got to thinking about a few of the guns I have that will never be for sale at any price because the memories attached to them.

Just wanted to ask a quick question about some reloads I made up today. I thought I had 158 grain SWCs, and made up 50 rounds with a 1cc lee dipper, which actually weighs out to 14 grains. Later, I actually weighed the bullets and they are actually 148 grainers, so I was wrong. 10 grains difference ...
