I used to come here a lot to read about and learn about lever guns. Now, about 1 post in 10 is about lever guns. Guess it is time to move on.

FAA requires a twin engine aircraft to have enough power on one engine to fly the plane to the site of the crash.

Grain elevators are fed by belts with buckets on them. Known as "legs". The equipment is in the head-house.

Seems like everyone has their hand out anymore. It is always some one eases fault.

Cant buy one right now, have to gas up my pick up tonight.

It is your rifle, do whatever trips your trigger!

Learn to HUNT, not just shoot. Get within 150yds and put the bullet where it needs to go and a 30-30 is fine. If you read the slick gun mags, the 30-30 is barley enough for jack rabbits. Guess noone told all the deer, elk, bear, etc that has been killed over the the last 115 years. Gee why didn't t...

For me it is my 1985g. 430gr paper patch @ 1885fps. No, I do not feel under gunned.

pdawg.shooter

I understand these are in pretty limited supply, but I'm not going to be the impatient guy that buys one for $100 over MSRP. I can wait a year or so and see where prices settle before making up my mind. Also that gives them the time to work out any 'bugs' (although with a tried-and-true design like...

That JD is running an 8v71 Detroit and yes they DO scream (especially since they are a 2-cycle engine).

The Lee bullet, modified by flat pointing it, works fine in my 336 Marlin. I size it to .302 and patch it back up to .312. No gas check. Load it to an OAL that feeds and ejects fine.

pdawg.shooter

I load the Lee 200gr (flat pointed) over 32gr of AA4350. Works for me anyway.

pdawg.shooter

Speed ain't everything and I'll gladly swap 100-200 fps for even a slight to modest gain in accuracy. I never pick a powder anymore because it will get me the most velocity. LK +1 on accuracy is king. My most accurate 30-30 load is a 311041 over 36gr of AA4350. Barley hits 2000fps but is by far the...

If you buy one be sure to get Ruger's return address. Odds are you will need it. :lol: :lol: :lol: I hate to admit this - but the last 3 Ruger pistols I bought all had to go back to the factory. They fixed them, but my confidence in their supposed quality is just not there for me... I'd have bought...

And if you want my money, make your web site simple enough for us computer idiots to find what we are looking for. I changed suppliers last year for just that reason. My old supplier (over 30 years) "updated" his web page and I couldn't fine anything. I now spend all my money elsewhere.

For mine I anneal the neck AND shoulder, prime and charge with a small amount of Unique. Fill case with Cream of Wheat, plug with wax an fire in my .375. Perfect .375 brass, and cheap too.

If dogs dont go to heaven, I dont either.

Few people hunt anymore, they shoot. My boss has what amounts to a condo tree stand. Buys corn to feed deer year around. Opining day he drives out in his 4 wheeler, climbs up into his condo and when the deer show up at the feeder he shoots one. That, my friend is NOT hunting.

If I didn't have a bird dog to work behind I wouldn't hunt birds. Watching that dog work and retrieve is 80% of the fun for me!

Ruger is famous for ugly handguns.

The movie is based on someone's book and Stephen Spielberg thinks enough of it to be involved. Let's face it, no one is going to make a serious western any longer , so why not have some fun. I would rather it be cowboys than fraternity guys and babes at the mall. . . . . :D :roll: I guess you skipp...

Colt Python. Most accurate handgun I have ever had. Nuff said.

pdawg.shooter

No way S.S. will cover my gun/shooting/reloading/casting/hunting habit. Guess I will just work till I die!

pdawg.shooter

I don't find it necessary to unload when I come in.. Simply opening the action will usually suffice, or just clearing the chamber.. Maybe it isn't by "the Book" but my firearms are always loaded, and every gun should be considered as such.. I am with you. ALL my firearms are loaded, All t...

pdawg.shooter

You all should know by now you cant kill a deer with a 30-30! Heck, hardly big enough for a jack rabbit. All the gun writers been telling us that for years now.

I stocked a 03A3 in wood shop in high school. That was in 67.

Wanted to go to Texas a few years back to hunt hogs. All the cotton farmers in the panhandle were b****ing about crop damage. Every one I contacted wanted a $100.00 a day to shoot them. Hey, its your problem and you want to charge me to help out? Dont think so.

pdawg.shooter

Anyone here ever convert a 336 from 30-30 to .356? What is involved besides a new barrel?

pdawg.shooter

In 40+ years of hunting with the 45-70 the load I have found best all around is a 430gr paper patched bullet over 54gr. of AA2495. Works for everything.

Great statement about 30-30/ 30WCF. It is a very flexible round. Pdawg.shooter hope you enjoy your levergun.

I enjoy all my leverguns. And 30-30 is not new to me, just havent had one for some time.

pdawg.shooter

I have been without a 30-30 for a number of years, don’t know why, just worked out that way. Traded for a 336 in 30-30 last week and discovered I don’t have a mold for one any more. Borrowed a 311041 ad casted up a couple hundred, sized them .302 and gave them 2 wraps of 16# paper. Run the through a...

How do you get a hold of a new Mauser? From website, all I get is a phone number and address to some one in San Antonio. I know this is not a lever, but I am asking for a reason. I like the sound of the 8.5x63mm cartridge which Mauser chambers. I also thinking maybe 8x68 but that might be a bit muc...

7 seconds in 750º lead works well for me.

pdawg.shooter

My 1985g is one of my go to rifles for anything. I load a 430gr PP bullet to just over 1850fps. Figure that will handle anything I might run up against in western Kansas. LOL

pdawg.shooter

I have 3 45cal rifles, 2 Marlins in 45-70 and one bolt gun in .458 WM. I finally bought a throating reamer and cut the throats to my preferences. I paper patch for all so I needed the correct throat with a gentle slope into the rifling. Made all the difference in the world.

Before I had a 25.06 I was given 120rds of ammo for one. Fired them all in my 30.06 and had perfect fire formed brass for reloading. Fired them into a dire bank from about 10 feet so I knew where the bullets went.

pdawg.shooter

I used to leave a rifle in my truck 24/7 till the heat destroyed the ammo in it. Pulled down on a coyote and it went pop instead of bang.

25mi east of Dodge City here. 8.5mi of that is sand road. Wouldn't trade it for any city anywhere. 880yd shooting range in my back yard. Nearest neighbor is 3/4 mile away. Best of everything.

pdawg.shooter

I looked at one when they first came out and was not impressed. Have they improved any?

pdawg.shooter

Plexaglass or Laxan.

The three most important things in getting cast bullets to shoot well are...size, size, and size! Slug your bore and throats and fit the bullets to your gun.

pdawg.shooter

I coat my brass and bullets with acetone I have dissolved a bit of clear plastic in. The acetone evaporates and leaves a coating of plastic to protect things. Never have had to re-coat any, last for years even if you handle them.

pdawg.shooter

Guess I have never seen a 45º dovetail. All I have ever cut have been 60º.

pdawg.shooter

Guess I missed it. Was there a Glock in that video?

pdawg.shooter

And no one says a thing about the 5.3 on the Colorado - New Mexico border night before last!

pdawg.shooter

I would stay with my 1895g in 45-70. A 430gr paper patched lead at just over 1800 has worked on everything I have tried it on so far.

I have used the lead pot method for the last 40+ years with perfect results. Guess I will keep on.
