They work just fine. My experience is like some of the other posters in that
the 200 gr rounds are much more accurate in my rifle.

Save your brass and reload 'em with 200 core-lokts.

What the h*** kinda question is THAT on a forum like this?!

'Course ya need a 22 mag! Sheesh.............. A Henry, for instance.

(Oh,... sorry - is there a LOGICAL reason to have a 22 mag and a 32-20? I dunno.........
It couldn't hurt to have both....

)

stretch

I'd buy it.

That's a nice collection, Rusty.

It will keep him busy for many winter evenings.

Great post! Like Doc Hudson said, I'm glad I'm not the only dinosaur who weighs his loads. :) If I'm loading using my Lyman measure or the Lee Dippers, I'll set up to load just under or right at the load I'm aiming for, and trickle up to the EXACT weight. I try to get at least 5 or 10 cases loaded w...

Thanks, Jack!

My 12-year-old was quite impressed. As he knows everything at his age,
making an impression on him is noteworthy.

Deer season starts the end of this month up here in Maine. Unfortunately, the land where I've hunted for the last decade is being sold, so we don't know whether we'll be able to hunt there or not. I tend to be on the optimistic side, so I'll think good thoughts and hope for the best! The herd is dow...

All of this technology - laptops, satellites, networks - so that we can share posts like this one.

I love it!

My son saw one go up the road and across the neighbor's yard just
the other day. ('Course, we are in Maine!) I get a kick out of 'em.
They are SO ugly, they're cute = especially the little ones.

Sig ******* Heil, everybody! The TSA is no different than the brownshirted Nazis. I've flown ONCE since 9/11/2001 - and I might never again.

I agree with Hobie.

I've used Marvel Mystery oil to good effect with taps. I like something a little bit heavier for
drilling, but for hand tapping the thin oil is fine, and I think flushes the chips better. Choose
your poison and take your chances...........

That's lovely.

Looks like something right out of the 19th century.

Congrats!!!

You'll love it. The Remington 200gr. ammo works just fine.........

There's nothing wrong with the 357 Magnum round. It's plenty powerful, and in the right hands, pretty much kills what it's aimed at. It's not for a beginning shooter, which is probably it's biggest fault. It's also a bit snappy in small guns, but at conversational distances I'm not sure the end resu...

We've had a light frost here in Central Maine - although some folks nearby have had a hard freeze already. It's beginning to get nippy on the motorbike in the mornings on the way to work. Still, with a little luck we'll have at least another 6 weeks before there is ice on the roads. I've got to get ...

I've seen that one several times before - and it's still funny!

Happy Birthday! And many more............

I've shot more air than powder this year. Lots and lots of fun, and very cheap to shoot. My neighbors don't even know I'm shooting most of the time! The 10m guns can be shot in a basement. The muzzle velocity of the target guns is only 500 or 600 fps, and they use a fairly light pellet. Constructing...

Yep - it's frustrating to watch. If I get greedy, buy too much with money I don't have, I'll lose my house, car , and everything else. Corporations get bailed out by the government.

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, we are a bunch (herd,flock?) of dinosaurs on this forum. Polite dinosaurs, though.

I have an old Stihl 023. It's a small saw, but it's just fine for what I use. I probably cut 2 cords of
wood a year with it and it works fine. If I was doing more, I'd get a bigger saw. Personally, I think
it's a great saw for the $.

Oh, I LIKE that!

stretch

Yeah, baby!!!

That describes Maine State Government PERFECTLY.

stretch

That's a dandy squirrel cage! :D I heat the house with wood pellets, and the garage with wood. I need just a coupla cords, and I mostly scrounge whatever's going. I was once told to burn the first fire of the day hot, and also the last. Mostly that's what I do. I also have a smallish stove, so it do...

Hard to argue with another Marlin 30-30.

Good on yer..............

Don't assume the relationship(s) concerning pressure, case capacity, and powder amounts are linear. They aren't! Changing ANY of the above will change pressure and velocity; sometimes quite unpredictably. The ONLY safe way to go about raising the load is in increments while ideally measuring for pre...

336A - that's THREE guns! (Ya can't count worth squat, but your logic is impeccable. :lol: ) I, too, think that the old Model 10 is a terrific design; and the 38 Special is cheap to load. With modern bullets, it's a perfectly good choice for social work, too. If I didn't have a Model 66, I might hav...

stretch

Lotsa interesting replies here tonight....... If I had to pick two currently in the safe, I might have to go with my S&W Model 66 (4", 357 Mag), and my Marlin 336 in 35 Remington. I could load 38 Special for target work and plinking, and the 35 ought to be enough for anything else in Maine....

stretch

jd45, you're obviously a man of taste and distinction.

I know a bigger hole in the critter you're hunting is generally better,
but I can't see needing a bigger hole than those 200 gr. CoreLokts
make in a black bear.

stretch

I'd go with the 35 Remington over the 30-30. For closein work, I might take
the 44 over the 30-30, too. They'll all work, though.

Realistically, shoot what ya brung. Some others have made the real point -
shot placement is key with all of the above.

stretch

Wow - don't leave it where the boys - (of any age!

) - can find it!

stretch

Yup.

stretch

Like Hobie, I'm partial to the 35 Remington and the 38 Special.

No real reason - nothing logical, anyway!

Though it can be argued that 35s make a bigger hole than 30s.

stretch

Go, Granny, Go!

People raised in earlier generations seem to have less tolerance
for that sort of nonsense.

Maine isn't too bad - yet.

But ALL CCW permits, methinks, are unconstitutional.

I don't agree with every detail of Dave Ramsey's program, but he's certainly got the right idea. No debt is better than any debt.

Great advice from all above. I personally think the 44 Special is a terrific self-defense cartridge, and really underrated. Like the 45 ACP, it' s not the most powerful round on the block, but it does make a big hole. I like a 240gr. JHP over 6.3 gr of 231. That's very pleasant to shoot out of a big...

Unbelievable how politicians can spout this stuff.

All of the good stuff will go home in somebody's pocket.

You might also check a couple of other manuals/powder manufacturer's sites. http://www.reloadersnest.com/ might be one option. Sometimes different manuals vary widely in what is considered an appropriate charge. If you've got no signs of pressure, easy extraction, no flattened or cratered primers, o...
