Subsonic .38/.357 reloads for Cowboy Rifles Practical shooters know that handgun ammo which averages two inches or less at fifty yards over a series of 5-shot groups is entirely satisfactory for field use, because that’s far better than most people can shoot. When seeking dual-use ammo to feed a cow...

Using 20 grs. of #2400 is WAY too much in a .30-30 using current Alliant product! Today's Alliant #2400 is not the same as as the former Hercules powder. It is much faster. Pending Alliant's completing updating of their web site please do not exceed 16 grs. with a 150-gr. JSP and 15 grs. with a 170...

Bullet construction needs to be more sturdy for .357 rifle use on deer which weigh over 150 pounds. On small deer it doesn't matter much what you use, but the lighter JHP bullets tear up more meat, and bullets lighter than 140 grains will fragment and penetrate poorly when driven over 1700 fps and s...

.32 H&R Mag. as listed in Brownell's catalog:
184-051-321 Fits .32 H&R Mag Barrel
THIS REAMER HAS BEEN SOLD

I take it that he made up a stubbed barrel for it? How much did this project put you back if you dont mind me asking. I have an H&R wonder if he would do up a .32-20 bbl. John neither made an insert tube to fit into the .410 nor cut off and resleeved an existing barrel. He fabricated two comple...

The MCA chamber adapter I have is a smoothbore .30-30 steel dummy case chambered for .32 ACP. The old Winchester and Marbles ones were rifled and shoot much better. Their shotgun insert barrels ARE rifled and shoot fine.

Your use of this gun is exactly how I use my .36 cal RB shooting muzzleloader (a TC Seneca). Neat concept and execution but you forgot something.... :wink: OK, I'll bite... What did I forget? 8-) I'm sure all inquiring minds will want to know! What doesn't meet the eye in the photo is that the 26&q...

I fooled around with MCA chamber inserts enabling use of .32 ACP ammo as sub-caliber small game rounds in my .30-30. At 25 yards it was no more accurate than the pistol, and it was tedious to extract, reload the insert adapter and manually load it into the chamber each time. A few reduced loads with...

If I had to do the bugout scenario and evac quickly beyond the moderate damage radius, making the most use of time, distance and shielding before the fallout starts raining down, having only my ruck and what I could carry on my belt or on my back, it would be the Marlin 1894C and a Ruger SP101. Perh...

The following is a “web condensed version” taken from several of my articles which appeared in Cast Bullet Association’s Fouling Shot magazine. Col. E.H. Harrison wrote in the NRA Handloader's Guide that "good" lots of factory .38 wadcutters were capable of approximately 1.5 inch 5-shot g...

Practical shooters know that handgun-caliber ammo which averages two inches or less at fifty yards over a series of 5-shot groups from a scoped rifle or test barrel is entirely satisfactory for field use, because that’s better than most people can shoot. When seeking dual-use ammo to feed your cowbo...

Sounds like you currently work for Ruger? Not since 1987. I was on the NRA Tech Staff for 12 years after I got out of the military, worked at the Marine Corps Development Center at Quantico, VA for a while during the M16A2 Development and Operational Test, then in Ruger product engineering and late...

Over the years I've fooled with a variety of .22 handguns, both autopistols and revolvers, for target and field shooting. While it is true that current fashion these days seems to be one or another variation of Ruger semi-auto, I've had my share of frustration which these. By and large out of the bo...

Yup. I'll post some more.

Continued from Part 1 - The ammo (This article appeared in the Cast Bullet Association's Fouling Shot magazine. Early jacketed bullet factory loads prior to WWII gave spotty performance. Controlled expansion bullets such as the Remington Core-Lokt and Winchester Power Point Bullet brought the .30-30...

Memories of the .30-30 - The “Appalachian Assault Rifle” (This article appeared in the Cast Bullet Association's Fouling Shot magazine. A favorite of lawmen and deer slayers alike, .30-30 lever-guns defended our Home Front in two World Wars, fed a then-mostly rural nation and still have utility for ...
