Was Bill Gates your neighbor? :) I didn't get on the interwebs until '99, so you beat the socks offa me. :) Cat Well sir ... you got me there. I didn't get internet until somewhere between 96 and 98 .... all I can do...

Six,

Sounds legit. I'm sure he's trustworthy, the internet said so.

Six,

What a beautiful set of .38-40s! I'll take the one in front please thank you very much.

There just aren't that many guns purtier than the SAA in my mind. Especially the four and three quarters.

Cat

Catshooter

Six,

I think that fox wants you to come out and play catch!

Cat

Catshooter

Six,

Them's some beautiful Colts. Is that front sight factory on the Shooting Master? I see why you kept it. Nice, very nice.

Check your math young man: 2021 from 1862 equals 159 years. Back of the class for you!

Cat

Six, You'd do fine in a fight. On the internet, the "First rule of a gunfight is have a gun". In real life the first rule is to be aware that a fight is approaching and not to be surprised. When the fight starts many of those who didn't see it coming or don't believe it can happen to them ...

Catshooter

Seven thousand hours? Ha. I never once gave it a thought but, yeah, I suppose that's right. Six, yer way up on me, I didn't get started on my gun study until I was about 16, so almost 42 years. We're way past seven thousand, ain't we? And yes, you did the right thing by sharing your knowledge freely...

Catshooter

Well, pin my ears back and dunk me in the lard! I've read what Elmer said about it and I believed him. But until now I'd never seen a pic. Thanks Jim! Those are indeed short Colts. Argument put to rest as far as I'm concerned. "I fired one from my Ruger 7 1/2" barreled .45 and it went thro...

Catshooter

The .357 is a great rifle cartridge.

Six,

I didn't get to read what you originally posted and I still know you're a naughty boy!

Cat

Catshooter

Very nice tools! You probably already know that those simple, unadorned grips on your Smith are quite valuable. They only made that size & style for the 58, so very few. Very cool.

Cat

Catshooter

I can see you're glad of the blessing Jim, and I'm glad for you. Not all grandsons are worthwhile, mine's an person. He's gone over to the enemy.

Cat

Catshooter

Yep, need to know the sixgun involved.

The heaviest I've ever loaded in the Special was an RCBS Keith style that weighed 275 or so. I don't recall the load, I'm sure it was some ridiculous amount of 2400.

Catshooter

It might not bounce off! Three hundred grains is a lot going-forwardness.

Cat

Catshooter

Six, I grabbed that pic of the 1950 and am using it for my lock screen. Now I'm darn glad I did: all your pics are gone outa this thread! Did you forget to pay the rent at Photoshop? :) That is cool as hell that you killed a big buck with it. When was it? There in PA? Elmer's load? I've run his 17.5...

Catshooter

Man, that is breath-taking. And those are some very scarce grips too. Thanks for the pic Yep, I know about being a peon too! Worked as a sparky for 'bout 50 years or better. I'd've bought one of them beauties if I'd ever seen one. How do you go wrong with a .44? It was good enough for Sketter . . . ...

Catshooter

Beautiful old Model P Six, beautiful. Thanks for the pic. 1950 Target Smiths! Oh Lord. To me, a four inch '50 is right up there with the Model P & the 1911 for beauty. I've wanted one for I dunno, fifty years? Never even seen one other than pics. Skeeter & Elmer were the best. I grew up read...

Catshooter

Man Six, all three of those are beauties! Do they shoot as good as they look?

I've never seen a pinned barrel Colt before. How about that.

I knew you were Jay Bird. Pretty unmistakable writing style.

Cat

Catshooter

Man, that is one beautiful New Service! Jay, or Six, or whoever the hell you are, I'm jelly for sure.

Cat

Catshooter

Gunny,

Four thirteen huh? Well, I bet if you cast some up out of about 1/2 lino type & 1/2 wheel weight or even pure it'll be about .410 or so. Or even pure lino. You might give it a try, if they don't work you can always just re-melt 'em.

Cat

Catshooter

Yes, those calibers usually do well with cast, no reason they wouldn't. There's lots of "Sticky" threads on Cast Boolits and they hold a treasure trove of info. I really enjoy the independence that casting gives me. I've all the primer, powder and brass I'll ever need and I can cast to my ...

Catshooter

Good move.

I dislike Lee's moulds. He uses the wrong aluminum, they're put together poorly, but they almost always cast nice bullets. I've got a good few Don't like 'em though.

Cat

Catshooter

I would expect the prices to be going up. The prices on most everything is, so why not ammo too? We don't have Trump's hand holding the throttle back anymore. It's back to business as usual, meaning darn everyone else if I can make an extra buck or two.

Cat

Catshooter

You know where the rifle is and you can get to it: definitely not a hoarder. Those 721s were excellent guns, weren't they.

Cat

Catshooter

Back in the old days I had a Beretta tip up pistol chambered in .22 short. It had a very thin front sight and a hollowed out notch for a rear. But that gun shot far better than it should and it was no problem to hit tin cans out to 25 yards or so. A little cheap pocket gun with almost no finish lef...

Catshooter

If you use a Coleman be sure to reinforce the grill. I won't hold the weight if you don't.

Cat

Catshooter

Six, Don't worry, no one could ever accuse you of being a snowflake! You've got way too much horse sense for that. Jim, Man, could your dad shoot! Would have loved to watch that action. Piller, Phylis Diller of sixguns! I love it. But don't hold back, tell us what you really think about Pythons! :) ...

Catshooter

So you killed one of Gods creatures. Big effing deal. There are organizations that will come out and trap a stray cat, "fix" it, give it shots it may need, and find it a new home. I have done this many times. I think some of you Levergunners just like to shoot something rather than do tha...

Catshooter

Excellent work Jim. A fine example of what's important is the Indian, not the arrow. I never could figure out why a "boys rifle" had to be so dang big!

Now it just need a suppressor . . .

Man I looked - no dice on the .41 sizer. Sorry. What size bullet does the mould throw?

We need to make those phone calls, send letters and emails. I think letters work better, becasue emails generally seem to come from email farms on the other side of the issues.

Catshooter

I started casting over 50 years ago. Had a Remington-Rand .45 to feed with my Lee Wacker. I cast for most everything I shoot in rifles and all my handguns. With over a hundred moulds I can feed most anything comes along. I love it. Really appreciate the independence it gives me. Especially under tod...

"It's a good time to move those black guns" No, not really. It's a good time to make sure that yours is ready and in good shape. Unless guns are just a hobby, then by all means sell 'em! I to am too old to be infantry, those days are gone. But if I'm called upon to use one I'd rather have ...

Cat

That's neat Jim, interesting stuff.

Six,

A thousand .22s? You are an experimenter for sure!

Cat

Catshooter

Very nice man! I'd have to hold the rifle in front of the rear sight to keep the muzzle from touching, I'm sure.

Now that's a daughter with class!

Six, No help from Russia, Obama turned them off with an Executive Order. Trump did not reverse it either. 6pt, I've been doing the same around here.

Catshooter

They are nice little shooters. Had one, sold it to a friend.

No thanks are needed for those dies. I've had hours of very enjoyable reading from the work you've put out.

Cat

Catshooter

So that's what you wanted the 9mm dies for! Well good. I didn't realize they were for you.

Those are nice little 9s. I read an article where some Middle East soldier's tank ran out of gas, and all of his companions were killed. He used his Star to kill 11 of the enemy.

Cat

Catshooter

Very beautiful state.

But aren't you the guys who use a logging chain for a wind sock? Thought so.

Cat

Catshooter

Any how many are there of those? Zero, I'm sure.

Cool idea though.

Fennix posted up that on 2/25 that they put 300,000 rounds of 9mm up for sale. Hundred thousand of 115 grain: sold out in less than 60 seconds. All 300,000 went in less then 4 minutes.

Good times (if yer stocked up).

Cat

Catshooter

Took 'em long enough. Sheesh. But better late then never I suppose.

Of course it's easy to be smug (yes, pardon me, I am being smug) when you live in South Dakota. Where the Governor NEVER shut the state down. Kristi Noem rocks!

Cat

Catshooter

If your .30-30 is a bench rest rifle then you should seat the bullet just short of touching the lands. No one can tell you where that is because it varies rifle to rifle. If your .30-30 is a regular rifle (lever or whatever) then do as 765x53 suggests: load 'em up and have fun. Loading to the lands ...

Catshooter

Nice score. It pays to have friends.

Primers have a tremendous shelf life. I'd've bought the old ones too. I've used lots from the '60s without problems.

Instead of whinning online about a problem with a well established good company, why don't you contact them to try to sort it out? They aren't some fly by night outfit. Of course if you call 'em with a serious case of attitude your experience will likely be poor. A person sees this a lot online. It'...

Catshooter

Here's my take: 1. Any small pistol should work. 2. A dirty low down right lie. ;0 3. & 4. Physically, small rifle & pistol are the same (dimensionally). Magnums, too. Two principle differences. Rifles have a thicker/harder cup to withstand the higher rifle pressures. Some striker-fired pist...
