If the 1854 could handle the bigger magnums I would think they would have all ready have done it. You Look like a young Man so why not Go For it and Go Big.? Here is a reasonable Spike Driver. https://www.gunsinternational.com/guns-for-sale-online/rifles/big-horn-armory/big-horn-armory-lever-action...

I got a cool email from KyGunCo saying that the 1854 is now available in .45-70. I know a lot of people want something in 500 Mag and that it seem that would be asking alot but I'm holding out for a 460 Mag. I know Big Horn has theirs but they are so expensive. Do you think these new 1854 could surv...

I've been wondering if the 16 inch barrels were good enough for 150 yards. I had been holding out for a blued steel version with a threaded 20 inch barrel but if I can find the actual velocities for 170 grain loads from a 16 inch, I can put together a good idea of if the Trapper lengths are worth an...

Maybe look to see if anyone had duplicated the old Short Range loads that used the 117 grain lead bullets. I'm pretty sure that's what those loads were for. I'm thinking some Trail Boss might be in order if you happen to have any. Hunter's Supply seems to make some 115 grain cast though they seem to...

I think this is an excellent idea. So many good online articles have been lost already, the castpics articles were quite useful and are now unobtainable for exampme. My question is how long does the internet archive site keep stuff? Is there an expedient way to capture those articles in a way that ...

With LASC and Dark Canyon going down recently, it's got my worried about these articles for future generations. I'm not exactly old and got started with the more traditional side of shooting about 2019 (my early 30's). Watching those domains go down bothers me. Thankfully the Wayback Machine is a no...

Sounds like I need to start printing off stuff. That's another page I used to visit a lot of. Thankfully the Wayback Machine is doing it's job though the last save was last year.

Thanks for the reminder. I need to get the Accu-RZR out and actually start tinkering with the boxes of Aguila Standard I have. I also have a box of the new Remington Standard-V I need to sit down with and see how the Model 17-9 likes it

ikocher

Thanks! I'll add it to my list for my slowly growing library.

Which book is this in?

I will try to add her and y'all to my prayers

That's sad to here they are likely gone for good. I've got a link up on my blog for the Archive page to help. Thankfully, I have a local copy of the PDF plus one in my email for the From Ingot to Bullet. I had been hoping to start with casting soon and figured I'd want a copy. I agree that I could b...

I'm not affiliated with the group but their website had always been useful for research and what not. I saw the site was down a while back but it hasn't come back up. Are they okay over there?

ikocher

I really like this idea. I don't have a pickup *yet* but it does make me wonder about setting up something with my 4Runner.

I have a Remington era Marlin 1894 CST that I've been using factory loaded Remington 158 gr SJHP which worked well for deer in 2023. I have several pre-made cast bullets such as the Slippery Bullets 105 TFP that I made super light loads for subsonic suppressor plinking. They also shot okay from a re...

I can say from experience that I love having an air fryer. The biggest advantage is how it cooks compared to a microwave and the speed (thanks to it being smaller than an oven) compared to a regular oven. The biggest advantage comes in from specific foods being cooked or reheated vs the microwave. F...

ikocher

ohhh This is turning out very nice indeed. I can't wait to see it done.

ikocher

Thank you for going with a dedicated red dot mount instead of just doing picatinny rail. I drives me nuts when people do that. There are dedicated mounts if you look long enough on the internet. That's a good looking build.

If I remember to, I'll make up picture of my newest pairing. I'm in the middle of a Chiappa LA322 build that's showing real promise of being fun along with a S&W Model 17-9. https://i.pinimg.com/originals/66/70/ee/6670ee954c498923866758b6d149beb6.jpg https://i.pinimg.com/originals/4d/b7/55/4db75...

That's a bucket list gun for me. Some day I'll pick one up. That's a good find.

I can't say that I can give you personal experience yet on the matter because I'm just getting ready to start full power 38 Special / 357 Mag hand loading but what I can give you is what Elmer Keith found. Back when 357 Mag was being developed, Mr. Keith had noted that his handloads of the .38 Speci...

Not sure what gun you are shooting these in, but if it is rated for +P you can go up to 6.2 grains. They are being launched from the thing on the right. The goal is quietness and cheapness. https://i.pinimg.com/originals/f9/2c/4b/f92c4bff19e4edb341a68ce16120f8b8.jpg I followed the Hodgdon RLDC info...

I tried to grab a bottle of Titegroup from the local Academy but they were out. On the way back from our 4th of July vacation, we stopped at the Bass Pro in Lawrenceville. They did have the 244 so I got a bottle. The load data shows that 38 Special and 105 grain bullets is 4.1 to 4.4 grains of powde...

Try TiteGroup for "cat sneeze" loads. Not supposed to be position sensitive. Also works good in 223 with a 70 gr. cast bullet at about 1450 fps. Glenn Titegroup was on my list of powders to play with. Sounds like I just need to buy both and keep on testing. I wish we could get Trail Boss ...

I'm back to doing research for light plinking loads for various calibers again. Previously, every time I started down this path, I inevitably end up seeing suggestions or posts on the various forums where someone used whatever caliber and a level of Unique powder. For example, a small game load for ...

I hunt deer and good times. The Marlin 1894 CST in .357 Magnum is my sort of working gun these days. I started hunting whitetail years ago with a Win 94 in .30-30 but made the switch last season to the .357 Magnum until I can finalize a new Marlin .30-30 build. The Remington .357 Mag HTP 158 gr SJHP...

Sounds like a great time to start figuring out how to work up BP!

I've had a 70's era Winchester 94 in .30-30 for a while now and it's been a bit of a saga in terms of getting it into a useful condition. It looked nice enough when I got it but it had issues and inside it's sort of a mess. The biggest issue I've had is the cartridge stop doesn't work right and will...

OOO. I've been wanting a rolling block for a while now. I had a chance to buy a .22 one a few years back but the shop in GA wouldn't take a debit card and I couldn't get cash or a money order from the banks near by. I was sad. I keep seeing these at Taylor's and wondered if they're any good. Some da...

Welcome from GA. It's good to see another suppressor enjoyer.

ikocher

I wouldn't mind having one as a working gun in stainless. I won't be replaced by .357 Mag Marlin but if I felt like I honestly needed a .44 Mag, I would seriously consider one.

ikocher

How do you like that forward mount on the Winchester 94? I have a replacement rear band with a stud and I like that pretty good. I take it you mean the sling? It works well enough. I used to have a Williams receiver mounted aperture sight and the whole setup had a sort of older military rifle feel ...
