That's a fantastic story and one very worthy of the grand old .30 WCF. If I had a dollar for everything that's bitten the dust over the sights of a .30-30 I'd retire immediately.

Hope I'm still hunting when I hit 80...

How about Brad Johnson??? He never got enough credit for the work he as done, and as I understand it he's an accomplished gunsmith who does some really amazing things with an 86 Winchester (and others I'm sure)...

Guys,

There was a thread on here a couple of months back with regard to single ball loads and it has faded into the ether. Any idea where it might be???


thanks fellas

I use 4 gr of Universal Clays under the .310 roundball, greased with Liquid Alox and 6 gr of the same powder under the 110gr JSP for the .30 M1 Carbine for a bit more range and punch. I have used this as a finisher several times and it will go thru the head (side-to-side) of a mi-sized white-tail at...

A friend and I were discussing gypsy moths, fertilizer prices, hunting and cooking bear meat. I don't but his method is his granny's method. He takes a ham (for example) and lets it soak in a crock of vinegar for 3 hours or so. This starts the grease and blood out of the meat. Then he does two croc...

Is that 180 gr cast a gas-checked number or plain based?? blake Gas Checked. Essentially the handload equivelent of the Buffalo Bore 180. Do you cast those yourself or are they a commercial bullet??

Bee Ay Yoo Tee Full! I love those Ruger Blackhawks... I bet it shoots great, and we expect a range report, as usual. I took the Blackhawk to an indoor range yesterday.
