Small pistol and small rifle primers share the same external dimensions. Large rifle however are generally four to six thousanths of an inch taller than large pistol. This may or may not cause a problem. A slam fire being one of those potential problems though, and those are nothing to play with. A ...

Joe, If you look at the powder measures that are being sold for use with the Holy Black you'll see aluminum or brass hoppers and rotors, with usually an iron body. Are they being cautious to silly degree? Or sensible? Who knows. Factories are very poor in communicating with us, as we all know, so it...

Young man, if you really want to be talked out of these gems, then go to the ARForum. You're speaking to fellow addicts here you know!

I think we should triple his salary. (Just what is three times zero, anyway?)

I too have been simlifying and for the reasons others have stated. I can do everything I want to with a firearm with 45 bore weapons. Even my pocket carrys are 45s. I can load everything with two powders: Universal Clays/HS-6 and 2400/AA 2230. I have the most of UC and 2400 and like them the best. I...

I have traded online. Usually I trade with someone I will trust, for whatever reason. I've only traded on CastBoolits forum, have been a member a while and know a lot of the people. I also wouldn't hesitate to trade on this board. You'd have a hard time chatching me in a trade on GlockTalk or ARF. W...

I never knew Savage made the 99 in .38-55. Son of a gun. You can learn something every day if you pay attention.

Good luck and have a great time young man!

I would love to shoot some pork down here in Florida, but so far I haven't been able to connect up with someone who has the land that needs help. I'm not giving up though. That new 45 Colt 94 really needs broke in right!

Cat

Catshooter

Obviously you failed to get the memo that all levers and in particular 30-30s can't shoot past 50 yards. Very nice work, very nice.

I forwarded your report to all the deer that live in your area so they'll all come to me. I think my plan will work.

Cat

Catshooter

pwl, Sorry you didn't get to take yours home. That's all I'll say about it. :) Determining the bore size isn't difficult. What you need is a piece of lead that is somewhat bigger than the bore and some brass rods. The lead alloy matters not. You can use a half inch sinker, a 45-70 slug, whatever. I ...

Thanks gentlemen. I'll keep y'all posted as things progress.

I too today bought a Trapper in the mighty 45 Colt!

Found this: http://i379.photobucket.com/albums/oo235/Catshooter45/th_IMG_4145.jpg Today my brother and I went to the small show in Crystal River, Florida. Our first time there. Walked the whole show. Tons of levers, almost every one a .30-30. Nothing wrong there, I was just looking for another Trapp...

Catshooter

I agree, the 38-55 is a grand old cartridge. I've got some Winchester brass but I've never used it. All I've shot in my 94 is blown out 30-30. I shot in our local lever silhouette for just over a year with it before moving. This is how I blew mine out. I found out that I needed to aneal first or I'd...

Smith & Wesson Shorty 45. Short, light, match level accuracy, Glock level reliability. I envy CO Steve's hand size as I think the Glock 21 would be wonderful for so many reasons. But it's just to dang big for me to hang onto. My primary use for a short gun is self defense but I could easily hunt...

Catshooter

Slimster, The best way is to try. No one can answer for your rifle but your rifle. If I was starting out I would buy the 311041 and try it. Shoot it with full loads, shoot it with light loads. See what happens. Jacketed bullets are much more predictable than cast. If you can, slug your bore and then...

Did he write one? I know he talked about it. I just bought a copy of his Leverguns off of Amazon ($98!) and they only had three copies. Did he write another? I'd buy it if I could find it.

If something should happen on company time, in their car or on their property and you were denied the right of self defense... and they did not provide securtiy .....at all levels... they are liable...period. That is quite true rimfire. However, being crippled/blinded for life or dead I doubt I wou...

I have a Win 94 with a 26 inch barrel that I re-barreled from a .30-30 carbine. I cast the Lyman 375449 from wheel weights and they fall out of my mould at .3795, which is also the bore size. I was sure they would lead but nope. These are loaded over 30 grains of AA 2230 for a chronoed 1750 fps in b...

I won't be able to make the Orlando show more's the pity.

I would very much like to come to the levergun shoot though.

From my memory, which has proven less than perfect over the years. I started buying primers in quantity at the Washington Arms Collectors shows in the eighties. They were about six dollars a thousand. These were for the most part Remingtons. The prices slowly crept up over the years, never with any ...

Catshooter

Rimfire,

I'm newly moved to Florida and haven't been to a show here yet. I might just have to come.

Also, tell me about this levergun shoot?

Cat

Catshooter

Nice post Joe, but are you seriously telling me that there are factories that make ammo?

Since virtually all my ammo uses my cast bullets, mine smell like the lube, which I just love.

Cat

Catshooter

Actually .45 Colt, I've changed quite a few cats over the years. If you take my meaning.

Cat

Catshooter

The last three years reinforced a lesson for me that I learned long ago. It makes no difference how "common" your calibers are or aren't. In bad times it's what you have. It's not what you can get, because by definition during bad times you can't get it. People talk about having commonalit...

Catshooter

Interesting veiwpoint Joe. There's alot of truth in what you say. I suffer from just what you're describing. Would I want the Marlin in .38-55 or the Win 94 in the same caliber? The H&R single shot in .45-70 and the eight other barrels? Or, to really launch off into left field, how about the Mos...

adirondakjack, Thank you very much for the photos of your shop. You like your Sherline mill? I love mine. I also have one of their lathes. What is the tool just to the right of the mill?

Very sweet! My only question, is are you sure that rifle is actually gonna leave your house?

I'd have a real difficult time letting go of that beauty.

You did your brother pround.

Adirondakjack,

That is a very cool set up. Built it yourself, correct?

My (new) work shop is about the same size as your's, any chance you could show us some pics of that? Thanks.

When you're a child you're taught that the police are your friends, and they are, then. But when the "To protect and serve" slogan started coming off of cars things started changing. Most cops are good, dedicated men & women. But some aren't. And after a self defense shooting, none are...

Is "TOW" code for Track of the Wolf? Thanks if so, I kinda thought that might be a source worth looking at.

I sorta step outside the box a bit with files. I love 'em. All my files that I use for metal are covered in oil. I use 30 weight motor oil. After all, most if not all cutting tools cut better with lube. I esp oil a file when using it in the lathe. Oiling a file to be used on wood just helps to gum i...

Rusty speaks only the truth here.

Chas,

Beautiful rifle man, very nice. So where did you get the trigger guard?

Are you kidding me !?! There are factories that make ammo?

Nah, I ani't falling for that one. Pull the other leg, it has bells on.

Actually Doc, he didn't specify that you could only have one because of a law in the original post, he just said one.

Both get the job done with a minimum of fuss. To me, after these rounds, over 100 years of ammunition development has been unnecessary and irrelevant. There is a lot of truth in that You both speak the truth. Some of my calibers: .25-20,. 30-30, .38-55, .45-70, .45 ACP, .45 Colt, .32 S&W. I do ...

Catshooter

I too enjoy this type of threads as things do change.

These threads also show who packs, and who doesn't. Gotcha!

For me it is a Smith & Wesson Shorty 45. No one gun can do it all, but it comes all mighty close.

Nice pair of rifles John. Very versitle.

I traded a Glock 23 for my .45 Colt Trapper, and yes, I too suffer the stupid cross bolt just so I can keep it.
