Thanks Steve. The OAL you gave me and bullet info are just what I needed. Thanks for the sources, they will help others. I have cast and loaded since 1973 for many calibers so I can load mine thankfully. Don't have the same problem with the Win/Miroku 1873 357 but it feeds differently than the 1892....

Saltcreek

Anyone know the minimum OAL of a 38 Special to get it to reliably feed in a 357 Mag Winchester/Miroku 1892?

In warmer weather you can get away with using standard primers with H-110 and ww=296 although with sometimes inconsistant ignition. However, in very cold weather, especially deep winter and far north, standard primers can give delayed or weak ignition. H-110 and ww-296 are definetly Magnum primer po...

1. Great close-up self defense revolver. You can shoot blanks to avoid overpenetration and hitting bystanders, yet still fry the bad guy.

2. Great close-up hog gun. Kill, dehair and cook all at once!

I have a Mustang Pocketlite and used to carry it as a backup at work. Mine is very accurate and I have Never had a malfunction in it in several thousand rounds.

A good 357 Magnum will save your bacon every time. I tried smokin' bacon but the rollin' papers get geasey and it's hard to light.

Who makes the folding rear with step elevator in the picture? I can only find the Marble's folding long leaf but it does not use a step elevator. Thanks It is a Marbles #95 and you can get it at Brownells too. While you're at it, take a look at Marbles tang and 1/16" bead front sight (3/32&quo...

I might be a little leery of a tanger being too close to my eye w/44 full house loadsâ€¦ The fold down feature in combo with the barrel rear sight is a great set up tho..There is one other option that comes to mind thatâ€™s not too far from your flip idea of flip up sights ...And that is a flip up ...

A 4.5 pound 45-70 sounds like too much fun!

I think the correct description would be "A 4.5 POUNDING 45-70.

I bought 6 of the 100 round 130 gr FP Winchester White box cause I needed more 38 brass and it hits very close to the same POI as the 135gr Gold dot in my 638 for practice. Our range does not allow all-lead reloads and WWB was cheap.

No, just the 1894s

In the article Taffin makes a solid case that Alliant's Unique powder, on reloader's shelves since 1900 from one manufacturer or another, is one of the best "all around" powders for the handgun reloader. He lists his favorite Unique loads for .32 H&R Magnum, .32-20 wcf, .38 Special, ....

And you guys thought I was touchy. Saltcreek did you radius the bottom of the lever when you replaced the carrier? Don't take offense at what we say. Some of us have used Marlins for years with zero problems, and some I guess have problems right off. So be it. Joe Yes I did radius it and it has not...

The "Marlin Jam" is real. I have a pre-safety 1894 .44 Mag. It happened to me after just about 400 rounds from original purchase by me. It was not a case of not knowing how to work the rifle as some have said. Once it started happening, it was permanent every round - not just once in a whi...

Well of course all animals see colors, its just not the ones we see or as many of them. For instance, to some green and white both appear white. That's why it's important to remain motionless so they have a harder time detecting one object from another or what it is. Some people talk like if a yote ...

Coyotes see orange as a yellow. It will blend in a wheat field but stands out in green foliage which appears white to grayish to a coyote. The important thing is to break up the pattern. and maybe not have a solid orange. There is "camo" orange out there which is orange broken up by black ...

Never did like bullets in my Jello. Same reason I use a 22 on rabbits instead of a shotgun, the shot and bullets hurt my teeth.

I had one of those I purchased in 1970 as my first gun that I had bought myself (not hand me downs from Dad) I used to shoot it a lot out in the desert near 29 Palms, CA and actually got my first coyote with it. Navy Arms sold it and then they were making them 56 cal before they later standardized o...

I have an H&R 410 that I find inexpensive and useful around the place for squirrel, rabbets and garden pests. No unnecessary recoil and kick of a 20 or 12 or wasted shot for the purpose. I find a single shot 410 all I need for this kind of hunting and a good farm gun alongwith the 22. Great for ...

Just a thought, and probably not worth a salty chocolate éclair, but what about a 9410? I would really be worried about shooting a varmint with a .44 Magnum or even a .45 Colt in my home, because there's a good chance that that slug is going to pay a visit my neighbor's next door or across the stre...

Kid: Did you smell anything while at PI? I did boot at PI from Aug-Oct '72. I'd like to go back for a visit and see what's changed.

good luck at sorting it all out in court, too. If your State has the Castle Doctrine in place .. and If the situation is a justifiable use of force .. there will be no court.

My favorite for banging around regular use is my Marlin 39 (1897 Texan octagon barrel) which is surprisingly accurate. My favorite 22 pistol is the S&W Model 63 4 inch barrel kit gun which is very handy, although the Ruger Mark 1 5-1/2 inch barrel is second. The Kimber 22 Hunter is the most accu...

I have loaded for 35 years with 2400. Magnum primers are not needed or recommended for. On the other hand, magnum primers are recommended by manufacturer's for ball powder like WW296 and H110 which need it for reliable consistent ignition especially in cold weather. 15.5 grains of 2400 with a 158 gr...

I have a early 80's pre-safety 44 mag Marlin mod 94 and it happened to me after about 100 rounds of average use, before the days of CASS. It's caused me to doubt it ever since as one of my "bug out" guns without lugging spares. Never had a failure of any kind on the old Winchester 94 so it...

I have the same setup as Tycer - Lyman peep on my Win 1886ELW. Everyone pay attention to the conditions Sturgis specified. Low light, heavy brush, close range around 30 yards.
