Yep. They'll be bright and shiny little slivers and flakes.

I am looking forward to the reports of those who try the turpentine here. My 94ae in 44 magnum seems to have leaded up pretty bad. :( I used turpentine tonight to clean my Super Blackhawk. It worked okay I suppose, but no better than Ballistol. It's still the Chore Boy wrapped around the brass brus...

Don't give up on the progressive lenses too soon. I've had mine for about a year. It took maybe a month for me to adjust fully to them. And the fit of the frame on the face does matter a lot!

jackruff

Thanks!! I will get some in the next few days. I really like the smell too. Just like fresh cut cedar fills the shop with an odor that is fresh and clean. I used to take an old broken cedar arrow shaft and snap it in two just to get that smell. Almost as good as smelling a fresh fired shotgun shell...

My Marlin 1894C made in 1980 is great fun to shoot, and I think it should be more than adequate for deer at the ranges we shoot them here in south Mississippi. While I've killed several deer with my 1894ss .44 magnum, I've yet to shoot one with my .357. That may need to change. It has a Skinner peep...

I expect they might be a little more than that, but have no experience on which to base my opinion.

My Ithaca Model 37 12 ga. was bought new in 1968. It works as well now as it did then, and, yes, if you hold down the trigger it will shoot as fast as you can pump the action!

Rodeo is big in Mississippi. The Dixie National is one of, if not the, biggest rodeo in the eastern U.S.

I have a 32 S&W, but it's a more recent vintage H&R with a transfer bar. It doesn't say it will shoot S&W Long, but it handles them just fine. It's a fun little gun to shoot.

Retired about six months ago. My retirement pay is actually more than my pay when I worked. It's a long story, but it was costing me money to work. That's not why I retired, though. If it had been, I would have retired a couple of years ago.

jackruff

I'm enjoying my retirement so far. My 43 years in public education went by quickly, although there were some really slow days!

jackruff

Just yesterday I shot a Uberti replica Sharps in .45-70. Ouch! It makes my CVA Scout in .44 magnum feel even better when I shoot.

jackruff

Congratulations! I reached the 65 milestone last spring and retired in the summer. So far, so good. You and I can console ourselves with the fact that we will not die young.

jackruff

I looked at a very nice stainless 1895 guide gun in a gun store today, but it was made in 2002.

jackruff

Anybody who says they haven't lost a deer is either untruthful or just hasn't hunted long enough. In this case it seems likely that the animal was not seriously hurt. Good for you for giving your best effort to find it. Remember that nothing in nature is wasted.

jackruff

In 357 magnum I have a Ruger SP-101, a Ruger GP-100, and a Marlin 1894c. In 44 magnum I have a Ruger Super Blackhawk and a Marlin 1894ss. The only blued one in the bunch is the 1894c. Made in 1980 it's the best-looking of the bunch.

Mine does, too. In fact, that's all I've shot in it.

I like both forums and check both everyday though I don't post a whole lot. I did wonder why I never see a post from Hobie on Marlinowners anymore. I also check both Ruger forums and Graybeard Outdoors.

jackruff

THE ANSWER TO YOUR POST IS IN YOUR POST. THE BULLETS HAVE GONE UNSTABLE ON THEIR WAY TO 200 YARDS [ WHY SO FAR.....WITH REDUCED LOADS...I DO NOT UNDERSTAND THAT AT ALL] AND YET THE SAME BULLETS DO WELL FROM YOUR 357MAG........BINGO !!!! THERE IS THE ANSWER FOR YOU AS PLAIN AS THE NOSE ON YOUR FACE....

jackruff

My list started about four years ago with a Henry 22LR. I've since added a Marlin 357 magnum, a Marlin 44 magnum, and a Marlin 30-30.

jackruff

I keep up with both Ruger forums and post only rarely. I really can't say one is better than the other and have never had any criticism of the people who post there.

Can you believe that down here in the six coastal counties of Mississippi we haven't had a good rain since the middle of March? Our prayers are certainly with the folks in Alabama, North Mississippi, Missouri, and everywhere else the tornados have hit.

There are no wolves here, and the very few bears so far have caused no one any trouble. There are lots of coyotes and bobcats but, so far, they haven't attacked anybody. Hogs can hurt you, but usually only when you're trying to hurt them. There is just one animal I've encountered in the woods that I...

No. My first gun was a J. C. Higgins (Sears) bolt action 16 ga. repeater given to me for Christmas when I was maybe 11 years old. My younger brother got mud in the barrel and blew it up. But I do have the first gun I bought for myself after graduating from college in 1968. It's an Ithaca Model 37 12...

You can certainly get 32 S&W ammunition with smokeless powder, if your revolver is made for it. I have a nickle plated H&R 32 S&W revolver. It also shoots 32 S&W longs. At present I have ammunition from three companies: Magtech, Remington, and Kinematics Research.

jackruff

I've never shot a deer with a .243, but I've shot them with two different rifles in 6mm Remington, which shoots the same bullet just a little bit faster, over almost 40 years. I never had a deer go far that was hit in a good spot. The 100 grain Core-Lokt pointed soft point is devastating to an anima...

The borax has worked well for me. Just rub it in and let it dry. It doesn't absorb water from the air the way table salt does.

Try Optx 20 20 stick-on bifocals. I trimmed one and put it in the upper left corner of the right lens of my shooting glasses. It costs less than $10 and you get two lenses. They're made for converting sunglasses and safety glasses into bifocals. They were hard to find in stores, in fact I didn't. Or...

jackruff

because lead bullets are 10 cents each and jacketed bullets are 30 cents each. If you go too fast with the lead you'll get leading, as you know. So, plinking load and 10 cent bullets. I bought 500 158 grain cast bullets for five cents each recently! They are round nose bullets. Should be great in m...

Also the Ithaca Model 37. I've had one for almost 42 years and it's still in great shape!

I've used an Arkansas stone ever since I bought my first one (I still have it) in a little store on Petit Jean Mountain - in Arkansas, of course, in 1972. They work great!

Hey, what about Alabama and Louisiana?

I've tried several. Right now a Weaver 1-3X20 sits on my 336 30-30. It may end up on one of my 1894's, but one of the '94's at least will keep a Skinner peep on it. I like the Weaver. Yes, it's made in Asia, but the country is Japan. They make some of the finest optics in the world there.

jackruff

Remington 100 grain Core Lokts have always worked well in my Remington 742 and Ruger M77. They are 6 m m caliber, but the bullets are the same. This year, though, I'm hunting mostly with one of my three Marlin lever actions.
