Hey there,

I agree with the workmanship on my Brn.-Win., 71 & 86. Dern fine!!

+1 on the super glue. Did a repair 15 years ago and it still holding. I spread the crack as much as I felt comfortable with and applied the glue. As stated before, it is thin enough to wick into areas that would be difficult to force glue into.
Good luck!

Howdy, I have a Browning 71 from Turnbull in 50-110. The max cartridge length in a 71 or 86 is 2.8". However the size of the melplate, if large or wide, will impede feeding at that length. I am shooting cast bullets from a Veral Smith mold and have to shorten the OAL to 2.75" to get reliab...

Always good to have some 100 mph tape handy!!

Howdy, Since my last post on this topic I have had the opportunity to shoot a lever shot gun in 12 gage. It was broke in and not that bad! While I am not a good skeet shooter there was another friend who could hit doubles regularly with it. I know that when comparing 12 gage slugs to 444's the paper...

Howdy, While I like IMR and have a good supply of it! I am starting to like the Hodgdon extreme powders for their resistance in performance fluctuations due to temperature changes. Their not perfect but seem to get effected less than IMR for the same situation. Be hard pressed to choose between H489...

Howdy,

I am kinda surprised that no one has suggested a lever shotgun!

Howdy,

Give these guys a look! I like mine.

Howdy, I saw the movie about the same time I discussed it with a friend who had just read the book. A lot of things were explained in the book that weren't in the movie. The one thing I picked up on was that the bad guy was described as a force of nature without a consciousness. Just plain bad evil....

Howdy, I usually avoid political discussion, every one is entitled to their opinion even if they are wrong. :D However I was stunned at the level of left liberal the other day.

Bronco

Howdy, With all the controversy of using fillers why is it that more people don't use larger quantities of a slower powder to fill the case?? I have done a lot of range time working my 50-110 using IMR 4895 and 4064! The cases are full and no need to worry about powder position. Slower powders dupli...

Bronco

My 1886 is a Browning. I have been told that the max cartridge length you can get an 86 to work with is 2.8". Whether it be an original or a Miroku. You cannot go by the max cartridge length given in reloading data. 86's that are for 45-90 have carriers that are for a cartridge of that length, ...

Bronco

Howdy,

2.8" listed max length. I find that the shape and size of the flat point makes a difference in how trouble free the cartridge feeds.
I have a 50-110, "86" and with wide flatnosed bullets I find going a few hundredths less, to 2.75", helps function.

Howdy, A python was the first firearm I bought with my own money, late sixties and with my dads signature. Love the thing and will never part.

Can't think of anything good to say about california but the climate, and that ain't worth the pain anymore. Gotta get out of here!!

Hey,
Was that a shot???

Pun intended!

I have never fire formed cases so this is a question rather that a suggestion. Wouldn't a wax bullet work??

John

I don't get it!

Bronco

When sneaking in one do you ever start packing an empty gun case for a couple of weeks, coming and going, so that on the day it comes back full for the safe nothing looks unusual to the Missus???

Howdy & Merry Christmas,

I've got more of everything than I should have; is that possible!

Yet I still want and buy more. If I don't use it all up, it will be left to friends and relatives. However, I plan on burning a lot of powder and pushing lead till then.

I went out last weekend to try some Barnes TSX all copper bullets in my AR. They flew great in my 1 in 9 twist, both the 53 and 62 grs. Got the load data from Barns, great people. Temp was in the high 40's and the velocity was approx 3200fps for the 53 and 2900fps for the 62, 26" barrel. Both g...

Thanks for the help. Will a schematic for a 336 be the same as for a 30? Are parts interchangeable? Is the model 30 considered entry level because of the birch, rather than walnut stock?
Again, my thanks.

Bronco

I have a model 30AS serial number 1504xxxx. I haven't found any reference to the particular model. Is it the same as a 336? It has a round bolt and cross bolt safety. The barrel is 20 inches and it has a full length tube. Any info would be helpful.

This might be a double post. If so, sorry.

Bronco

Howdy, I have a Turnbull Big Bore, Browning M71 turned into a 50-110. I have to agree that they are pricey but the work is second to none. The amount of money you pay will never most likely be recovered if you ever sell it, but that is not what I got it for nor did it become a factor in what I wante...

I think your computer is stuttering!!

Howdy, Every time I reload, I put down when, how many and components of what I have done. I usually do testing to find a favorite load and stick with that. It is all in in a reloading manual that I started in 1964, computers are nice but have not found a need to keep record of what I have done on th...

Howdy,
Started watching the debate here at home and decided to go to the local tavern, no beer here!

Got back and was pleasantly surprised that the normally left leaning news were gritting their teeth about McCain doing as good as he did. Must mean that he done good.

Love the single set trigger and also the true mini mauser action.
I have a friend who has a ruger and a cz. The only reason he still has the ruger is the his wife got it as an anniversary gift. Brings it out once in awhile just to show her that he still has it

Howdy,
One of the fun things about reloading is trying out safely different components. I did a lot of experimenting with various powders and found that part of the fun going to the range and seeing what you get . Don't have a 38-55 though, it is on the want list!!

Howdy, What Malamute says it true about smokless powders. I worked up my loads using 4895 and 4064 to get 100% load density, powder position the same all the time. 4895 was a little quick for the upper loads with the 547gr and 4064 worked better for. Recoil is serious for the upper loads and I don't...
