i was at that same show show i thought all the levers were about double what they should have been considerring the condition they were in.
it was also the most crowded show [on sat] that i have ever been to.

runfiverun

the big flat thing that pushes your primers into their pockets is smaller then the primers also.

runfiverun

700-x is inline with red dot ,clays, etc
3.5 in a 32-20 with a 98gr cast bullet is nice.
sept it smells funny in shotshell loads.

runfiverun

if they would offer all their models [cals] with 20" octagon bbls and a recoil pad. yeah a short rifle. i would be buying a bunch more rossi's. a few rounds with full power 44 mag or 45 colt and that crescent plate don't seem so "stylish" anymore. maybe that is why i prefer the carbin...

runfiverun

the 32-20 did it at 75 yds at an astounding m.v. of 900 fps
handgun broadside shot.
out to 100 or so go for 1800 plus if possible.
make sure it has a flat nose, and don't use lino-type.

runfiverun

we usually have both types in the truck during deer and elk season. we watch far but usually hunt the thick stuff and a rifle either bolt or lever is just too big. so it is either the handgun or the carbine. the last deer shot was with a revolver the one before that was the 45 carbine and the one be...

runfiverun

the fun only begins when the rifle is purchased. that is why they call this an obsession....er...hobby. if it were easy anybody could do it. but the chase is where the fun is...the excitement of that first shot. the fun of the next few............then on to the next one. maybe that is why we bond wi...

runfiverun

you can use FLUE tape it holds up to the heat better.
and if you are using aluminum molds you can also
lap the mold out to te diameter you need there are several
threads on this over at "castboolits/gunloads".
just search that it will come right up.
look under 'beagling".

runfiverun

all the loads in the world won't do you any good. it is what they do "in my gun"
if you wanna use aa powders i would look at aa's website.
all the usual before and after [accuratepowder.com]

runfiverun

there are a few areas you can save time and still do a good job. primer filler from dillon. seating with a rcbs primer seater. a lyman electronic powder measure, with a powder drop set up behind it. and do your rifle stuff at least 200 at a time. just batch process them. i will set up the neck sizer...

runfiverun

those are all cast bullets...
and the only looks he would get round here is at his score card.

good shootin out there, hold steady and read the wind.

runfiverun

i re-member imr putting 44mag rifle data in their load books with rifle powder 4895 etc.. :shock: it was rather amusing to see that the pistols actually had higher velocities. :P the hodgdon book shows the same loads in revolvers and rifles but with the "corresponding" velocity. funny that...

runfiverun

funny this should come up now, as at the leversilhouette shoot there were two guys that lost screws today

runfiverun

the pistol caliber cartridges in rifles is the same data
the guns and ammo are built to the same pressure specs.
you donot see 44mag rifle ammo at the store right??
it says 44 mag 357 mag on the box...

runfiverun

the thing you do have to look out for with bottle-neck brass
is case length.
if it is too long it will crimp the case for you when you close the bolt then it will raise pressures alot.
make sure they are under the max case length.

runfiverun

fringe was so water would
run away from the seam on the clothing and not soak in.
it is like the drip-line on a tree.
can't believe i retained this piece of information.

runfiverun

in the late 30's s&w was bailed out by producing a prototype rifle for the british gov't.
this rifle failed also..

runfiverun

those and about ten other questions are what you will be answering.
package it so it can be used in a lubrisizer and solid sticks.
you will be asked what pressure can i go to?
you will be asked what velocity it can be pushed to.
etc...

runfiverun

your regular bullets perform very well at regular velocities..... the makers of bullets are actually good at designing a bullet for cartridges , the hard part for us is figuring out what cartridge they were meant for. like the speer 8mm 200 gr bullet it was designed for the 8mm rem mag not the 8mm m...

runfiverun

you also have the harder/softer option of mixing pure lead and ww's with 1% tin added and then water dropping them if you do this i recommend sizing them within the first few days. then waiting about a month before shooting them as they will harden up. what this does is give you about an 18 bhn shel...

runfiverun

my rossi will feed 357 swc's
my 44 is a bit picky with them i have to seat them rightthere..

runfiverun

some of those rugs are worth quite a bit of money
it just depends on which ones you got kinda like guns
same model 1,000 dollars difference.

runfiverun

the big thing with "interchange-ability" is bearing length,and jacket thickness. hornady's usually have a shorter bearing length. i would just start at the bottom soggested charge keep an eye on how deep the bullet goes into the case if the hornady's go much deeper then the one you normall...

runfiverun

i looked at one for bout 20 seconds i saw enough i didn't like to hand it right back.
i have been waiting to see one in person because i have been in the market for a 30-30.
think i will just save 100.00 and buy the marlin

runfiverun

i got your cast bullet question you donot want "controlled expansion" with cast bullets. you are already using a big enough hole. what you want is a flat meplat [nose] and enough weight to push the bullet all the way through the animal in a straight line. if your bullet up-sets some along ...

runfiverun

it should be possible to re-bore it, it may be cheaper to
buy the bbl. and if it is the micro-groove i would just
buy a ballard grooved bbl. but i shoot mostly cast bullets anyways

runfiverun

when i was a kid 8-9 i got a job at a small gun shop. used to unload bags of shot and all the other stuff for the owner. i don't remember moving any factory stuff for him. was always around trap shooters, when i started shooting on my own it was natural to think that you reloaded if you shot. i reme...

runfiverun

i like 20"
seems to balance better and not hang up in the brush
you can also shoot it one handed if necessary.

runfiverun

go over to the cast boolits site you can read all the answers to your casting questions without asking them.
then if you still have more ask away..

runfiverun

so i guess this country no longer runs on oil?
i sure did well when i moved all of my 401 into the foreign market.
made 10% in just two months

i guess i will be going back to work in the oil patch,since i can't drive a truck anymore.

runfiverun

if you want as good as your gun will shoot rcbs will do the job and last forever. if you ever buy a palma rifle then you will know by then what you need to get it to shoot. don't think just cause you reload the stuff it will automatically beat factory ammo, there is a learning curve. the very first ...

runfiverun

you can also put a little shim under a 3/8th's.
but if you gotta order them may as well get the right size

runfiverun

heck you got the scope on it you may as well go shoot it.
you may or may not like it.
i like opens on some of mine and scopes on others
if i had a marlin 308 i think i would keep the scope on it.

runfiverun

there is 7000 grains in a pound..

how can you discuss lever-actions and not include six-guns??? they are either left-hand,right-hand items. or complimentary companion pieces.. I.M.O. if a picture doesn't include both a lever and a revolver it shold be removed... sept maybe of a model 71....[and it better be a really nice one ] :shoc...

runfiverun

looks like your locals need to do a little profiling.
3-4 young males 17-20 years old. it may raise a few hackles around town.
but they would catch them a bit quicker.

runfiverun

i am with weidner here
except the beer part it was the only time she wanted to argue...
and if you all start down that path there ain't no turning back except to get another one and start over.....
or just mow the lawn and ask permission to go play golf.

runfiverun

noah that 6gr load is the one i use in my usfa's also
i like near5 gr in my acp's and auto-rim loads.
4 in the 9mm and 3.... in the 38's
all with their nominal weight bullets.

oh and about the only change to unique i have noticed is the shinier label

runfiverun

that should work on the "winchokes" also the older style before they went to the
browning type

runfiverun

i feel for you i have paddled a canoe with my win super-x twice now.
it was either that or a duck decoy.

runfiverun

it would have to be win 92 with pistol grip ,shot-gun butpad,22" octagon bbl half mag tube, in 445 super-mag necked down ackley style to 375. to shoot 220 gr bullets at @ 2400 fps. a vnotch rear and brass bead up front. with tang site back-up. in deep blue with color-case hardened accents like ...

runfiverun

how could you not own that 45 colt already? if it's the short one you'll like it it will sit right by the gearshift in your p-u. if it's the long one it will ride right next to you in the pick-up. can't scope it but you wont care.go shoot it. put in light loads put in heavier loads, shoot rocks,hogs...

sfter awp's post this has gotta go to the humor section.
that was FUNNY and true..

runfiverun

you forgot the ; thanks for the replies fellas but they all suck , so i wil just do it my way.

runfiverun

you want to wait for the oil field boom to go down a bit before you buy land near pinedale.
and he aint kidding about the cold part... it gets fetching cold there.

runfiverun

do they make them for the 38-55?
or can i get a mold? that would tip some steel over...

runfiverun

dang it iwas gonna say broken firing pin..
as that is how mine was acting when the pin broke.
man fire like 50,000 rounds through something and it breaks
was gonna write the factory but the warranty was up about 85 years ago.

runfiverun

he got that up there with momentum
been driving in the oil patch for a few years and see some steep hills with underpowered trucks and the only way to get them up
an incline like that is with velocity.
i'll bet [real money too] he don't drive anymore.

runfiverun

friend of mine uses one of these in 45/70 for silh
shooting with cast and a tang sight.
one in 35 rem with about 180 gr bullets would be real nice for this.
wouldn't be too shabby for hunting with either

runfiverun

try 7.0gr of the 2400 in your 38 cases.
