Great book.

I am looking forward to getting mine. Coincidentally I loaded about 1500 rounds of 45 colt this winter.

The one time I went there it was well worth the visit. It is outside of Enid near the airport.

A lot of the older 32-20s I see here have very rough bores from Black powder and corrosive priming. A uberti 1866 has been on my list for a while, I looked at it 3 times Saturday before buying it . The price was quite reasonable and the seller even threw in a box of ammo. [ quote=gamekeeper post_id=...

I was always a 32 magnum shooter, but do have a couple 32-20 handguns. I have shot them in carbines just never have owned one. There are 1000 unopened Starline 32-20 brass on the table in my shop. They were backorderable this summer so I put in my order just in case I needed them, I also use them to...

The 100gr XTP is a great bullet. I have used it a lot in .32 magnum and .327s. I also have a couple of HP bullet molds I will have to try in it. [quote="High Desert Hunter" post_id=1004687 time=1733193591 user_id=1107] Sweet! I have a Marlin 1894CL in 32-20 and it is a sweet round for sure...

That is the same load I use in my revolvers with a 311008 bullet. I should have shot it today, but got busy with other things and it was dark before I knew it. [quote=JBowen post_id=1004690 time=1733195043 user_id=120358] Nice plinker for sure! I load a commercial cast 115 grain cast bullet (make su...

I remember reading it years ago, but it is time to read it again. A Marlin 1894 CL was on the radar for years, one just never followed me home. [quote=JimT post_id=1004693 time=1733198327 user_id=200] If you have not seen it, I have the story of it and some loads listed in this article - https://www...

This Cimarron 1866 32-20 short rifle followed me home from the gunshow yesterday. It should make a fun plinker.

I have seen two cavity Lyman’s with two different bullets. This may be the first 4 cavity I have seen set up like that.



That Lee 255gr RNFP is a good bullet. I have shot quite a few of them.

My favorite is probably the 44 Special. I just loaded 400 round yesterday for it. That is subject to change though. My favorite Rifle cartridge to load is either .308 or .45-70. Least favorite is whichever one is currently giving me the most trouble. Honorable mention goes to casting, sizing, and lo...

I generally spritz my straight wall cases with one shot before loading them, and never bother to wipe them off. It drys and doesn’t cause any problem. It makes sizing easier in carbide dies and can help with expander drag on virgin brass. Every bottle neck case I have stuck in a die has been using i...

Nice buck. Congratulations on a successful hunt.

I have been using Red Dot in various handgun and rifle cartridges for over 30 years. A while back I scored a good supply of it and it is my most used fast burning powder. I have used it from everything fro 32 Long to 500 Linebaugh. It is great in 45 Colt, 45 ACP and 38 Special. Recently I started us...

Haha that is great.

Haha. Maybe she is telling you something.

I have a wood frame 12x20’ shed that I enclosed and insulated the back 8’ for bullet casting. I rant a 20 Amp line into the shed with 10 gauge wire, cut a hole for an exhaust vent hood over my lead pot. The insulation I used was just left over sheets from a previous project then I covered it all in ...

For several years I had a real hog problem here at the house. I decided to try the AR platform to develop a real opinion on it compared to other rifles. I started by shooting several with the 223. Like your experience I found it killed them but they generally ran and blood trail were minimal to non ...

It is unavailable everywhere I have checked. I made a batch from commercial 308s last year.

I can remember trying to find a proper example of each of his molds back when I started casting. For some reason there is just something magical with a batch of freshly cast Keith bullets or especially a box loaded with Keith loads.

Prayers sent.

We light a fire all the time. My youngest really loves doing that.

I have several Cimarron’s made by Uberti. They have all been good revolvers that shoot quite well.

I can understand that. One year at the holiday I was shooting some Remington Golden bullets in a Marlin 39. Extraction was a little stiff, and when I finally looked at a fired case there was no firing pin indent because the pressure had pushed it back flat. That was a really hot batch of ammo. Most ...

Impressive velocity. Any plans to chronograph them out of a rifle?

It was really nice getting up there this fall. I really didn’t think that would happen. It is always refreshing spending a few days with friends.

Great project and write up. There is something special about the model 10.

[quote=AJMD429 post_id=848132 time=1557944069 user_id=313] Now THAT seems like a really practical exercise....! I like that. [/quote] I came up with it back around the first of the year. I have the plate hanging in an old dead oak tree about 275 yards out the back door. I walk down to a post that is...

Lately I have been shooting at a 15” plate with a 22 handgun quite a bit. My routine starts at 75 yards and I go back to 175 yards 10 to 12 step at a time. I can’t move back until the target is hit. There are 10 or 11 “stations” depending on how many steps I take. So far my best is 10 hits in 13 sho...
