Well I've been on the Cabelas link, shows fathers day sale, blank listing, won't load up. I'm better off, I need one at those prices like I need a hole in my head! I wouldn't get yelled at FD, but I might go hungry! See if this one loads. Here's the one I like ... Win 71 , maybe the woods a little ...

I get it ... no support for the primer so it takes to flowing around the end of the firing pin.

Maybe CCI or White River Energetics are harder / thicker.

Rimfire McNutjob

Wow, those are some soft primers. I don't have any of the Aguila, but I have some Rem #1-1/2's that these are probably clones of.

Rimfire McNutjob

Struggle. First one that pops up for me is the long tang deluxe with the 98A bolt peep for $2300. Isn't Father's Day next weekend? Can I get yelled at on Father's Day?

Rimfire McNutjob

Somebody dug deep in the wood pile for that stock blank. Super nice.

Rimfire McNutjob

Oh ... I thought maybe you had come into a large stash of Trail Boss or Large Rifle primers.

Rimfire McNutjob

OMG ... Tenkara. Now I have more stuff to research and spend money on. My wife is not going to be happy with you.

Rimfire McNutjob

I hadn't signed on to Castboolits in a while and when I tried I get the same message as you are getting Bill -- "not supported for strings on line 8..." Maybe they are shedding themselves of us "problem users". Same here. I can see the site until I try to login ... then I'm doom...

Rimfire McNutjob

Great info. I sent a copy to my wife ... who wonders why I still take that shot every two weeks.

Rimfire McNutjob

It turns out, they only had a search warrant, not an arrest warrant. And they met up a week before to do the "search" but when they learned he wasn't home, they left and regrouped to hit him when he was at home ... at 6am in the dark. They cut the power to the house, covered the doorbell c...

The Alliant statement seems like a bit of a blanket statement to make for a company that doesn't make all of it's own powders. Does this mean that Bofors is having trouble getting raw materials and that's affecting part of the Reloder line? What about powders made here or in Canada? Are we still imp...

Rimfire McNutjob

Alliant sells some pretty useful powders but they've been really unreliable in the supply chain for several years now. I found some Bullseye and Unique last weekend at a store for $35/lb so I bought enough to last me for quite a while. I wonder if the lack of powder availability will result in a glu...

.....how....do you BEND a stock....???

I think 86er had something online about stock work and using steam to soften it up for bending. Might have even been a post on here. Way outside of my capabilities.

Rimfire McNutjob

Bottom set with the finger grooves? Surely it's not the stock tiny set in the middle.

Rimfire McNutjob

If you are wanting to push ballistics I would steer you towards to a 350gr Hornday FN. The 350 gr Speer was designed for the 458WM and is a tough pill but the nose length is a little long for the 45/90 unless to can source a Lee FCD to crimp it in position where it still functions in the action. I ...

Rimfire McNutjob

Is there a thread where you go into detail about this double gun in 480 Ruger? I think I recall a thread about Lil'gun use in it. But I don't remember the maker or the details of the rifle.

Rimfire McNutjob

Do you have any good 450 loads with IMR 3031 and 300 or 400 grain bullets? I don't load the 300 grain. And the 400 grain I do load isn't going to be comparable since it has that copper partition in the middle and thus is longer than a normal cup and core bullet. That changes the volume and pressure...

Rimfire McNutjob

I've got them in SP and LP but haven't used any yet. Nice to see a new US maker in the game. You can get their SP, LP, and LR online from Republic Ammunition ... even in quantities of 100 or 500, plus the usual 1K, 2K, 5K.

Rimfire McNutjob

I think there are a couple of people here shooting the 45-90. I shoot the 450 Alaskan, which has a nearly identical case capacity. You can shoot IMR 4350 in it, but it will be inefficient and won't produce top velocities. You might get the 300 grain Hornady #4500 to 2100fps but not much farther with...

Here's a die plate I printed for my RCBS Ammomaster Auto. It prints the threads in the die holes ... though I typically have to chase them with a tap to clean them up. This was done on a Bambu Labs printer.

Rimfire McNutjob

. It makes me wonder if you could use a 3D printer to build a paraffin or similar material 'form' so that you can make an investment casting using metal as a second step. Yes, it's called lost PLA casting. A material called PolyCast is specifically formulated for the job and burns out cleanly. Much...

Rimfire McNutjob

A lot of show ... 6am, no knock warrant. They wanted him to react like it was a break in ... which any normal person would have assumed without the chance to look out the front window and see the hardware parked on his lawn. There was no reason to go at this guy like that other than to send a message.

Rimfire McNutjob

WSF isn't in the QuickLoad powder list, otherwise I'd make a run for you.

Rimfire McNutjob

I've been holding off on the Garmin. Though the LabRadar was first, it has some issues with shot sensitivity and the battery that are hard for me to overcome. Then the FX came along but never seemed to be available in the retail channel, only in reviews where it did well. The Garmin has a great form...

Rimfire McNutjob

That looks like an amazing trip. Great pictures ... appreciate the post. Bummer that it's too risky to take your own guns.

Rimfire McNutjob

Thanks. I've bookmarked the Fury Bullet site and will order some of the 220 FP's they have in stock. Great to have another source. Swift doesn't seem to run their 348 A-Frames very often.

Rimfire McNutjob

Thanks. Very informative.

Rimfire McNutjob

This is a long video and he just does the forearm but I found it fascinating. I'm guessing other videos of this 71 refresh will follow.

Rimfire McNutjob

Yeah, I didn't get there in time. But they got me for a bottle of Herco and 2000 Remington 5-1/2 SP primers. The primers are on "sale" for $69/1000.

Yeah, it looks like the cyanide dip method of case coloring on steel.

Rimfire McNutjob

Well that's worth a test drive at $299. My last powder order was more than that ... and it really wasn't all that much powder.

That thread on Castboolits was interesting. That bullet looks like a soup can. Interesting that it feeds well in his Shield.

Rimfire McNutjob

Oh man, he stocks .348 GC bullets. You don't see that very often.

Rimfire McNutjob

I really enjoyed learning about the early SAA history and this gain twist barrel in this video. As always, his videos are well done and informative. Loved the old rifling machine as well.

Rimfire McNutjob

I use and recommend the Ubiquiti WiFi and networking infrastructure. Not perfect, but closer to business/enterprise level security that you can also run at home. I'm probably out of the norm though ... being the IT business.

Rimfire McNutjob

The can is a good idea. 22 WMR's are some of the loudest guns I own and I have no idea why that is.

Rimfire McNutjob

Nice. Seems a bit like a BLR though. Maybe an enhanced BLR with the AR mag well.

Rimfire McNutjob

The Blue Dot is just in 4# jugs now. The Red Dot is now gone. It's hard to believe how bad the Alliant supply is. Hodgdon and Accurate don't seem to be having this much trouble.

Rimfire McNutjob

These two are back in stock at Powder Valley. Not sure how long that will last. Just a heads up.

Rimfire McNutjob

Wake me up when they finally make the Model 16 in .327 Federal.

Rimfire McNutjob

Full disclosure ... these things are not quiet. The one I bought is quite loud ... the 6 liter DK Sonic.

Rimfire McNutjob

I got a DK Sonic off of Amazon but I've only used it for brass thus far. It works well. I think you have to do a little research on the number and power of transducers and the heating capabilities to get the right unit. I paid a bit more for extra transducer power and more powerful heating. I think ...

I should have grabbed a 9422M Legacy back in the day. I loved that rifle, but spent the money on a Browning 65 instead.

Rimfire McNutjob

Nice. Normally I would guess it's Miroku made but at that price I can't see how they can have it made in Japan.

Rimfire McNutjob

Wow ... that walnut version is pricey. Looks good though ... maybe they are using high grade wood. I have to think that one's just done for the photo on the website.

Rimfire McNutjob

Well, there went a couple of hours of my life. Some nice Woodsmans and a lot of other good look stuff in there.

Rimfire McNutjob

I .... am going to go curl up in a corner and never visit this thread again. Good luck.

I didn't mean to disparage all of the NRA with my emotional post earlier. I think it's the corruption of the core leadership over time that is the problem. The state of Florida forged the way on concealed carry thanks in large measure to the work of Marion Hammer for example. There are many hard wor...

Rimfire McNutjob

I see they have cast FNGC for the 348 WCF. I've not run into a place casting 348 before. I'm adding them to my list.
