Glad you could at least find another piece of the puzzle of your family's history.

Probably a Scam site as you say.

Our local Sportsman Warehouse went from $5.99 per hundred to $7.99 per hundred for spp

Might have a 10/22 sitting in the back of the safe. Never shot it. Much prefer my Nylon 66 or my 39A

Rockrat

I have 3. A Marlin Cowboy nib and a used one and an oddity I picked up years ago. Its a bolt gun, built on a P-14 action, near full bull barrel(Shilen I think), thumbhole stock, 3x9 scope. I have shot the NOE 310gr GC over a heavy dose of Varget. At first the bullets were yawing and hitting the targ...

Rockrat

a .305" bore might not be too bad. What is the groove dia? Did you check the muzzle crown? As said, a .310" cast slug might work well in the gun. Did you clean the gun first to get rid of any fouling the barrel might have had? With jacketed, you might take some .308" jacketed bullets ...

My Great Grandmother was the oldest. I was 21 when she passed. She was born in 1879 in Texas. I used to kid her about breakfast and her liking bread crumbs on her stick of butter (Her toast). She mainly talked about horse and buggy days and life on the farm.

Rockrat

Don't have an FFL around here that I know of that will deal with California.

Rockrat

I think the lee dipper of ashes, in the shotcup first, would be a good idea and work well

Rockrat

Don't need one to clock a car. I have a handheld baseball unit that would work well for that. Dirt road next to us was making quite a cloud of dirt by the county trucks going down it way over the speed limit, so got out the handheld and a camera. Took pics of the truck and driver, and recorded time ...

Rockrat

I believe it duplicates 5744

Rockrat

You got a good one. Mine is a 74 with thousands of rounds thru it. It liked everything I put thru it, but WWSX the best followed by the CILImperial stuff. Have some match ammo to try thru it, but it would be hard to beat a dime sized group @150yds my gun shot one time. Probably blind squirred syndro...

Rockrat

If they would chamber it in the 35 Buckhammer round, they would sell a bunch and make it harder to come by 35 Rem. stuff.

Maybe even make a special run of #1's in that round.

Rockrat

That 158gr FP looks like a pretty well designed slug. If it was me, I would get that one as it looks like it would work well in a revolver or a levergun!! Had a Rem 7400 in 35 Whelen at one time. Shot some powder coated bullets thru it and it shot fairly well, almost as good as factory stuff, but I ...

Rockrat

Well, I'm feeling a lot better. Two days of a bit of fever to go with the 4 days of body ache, so 4 days total isn't bad. I am in trouble though. I gave it to the wife twice after I had it, years past, and she just came into the living room with a look on her face and grabbed the thermometer and mum...

Rockrat

Acutally, the Lee liquid alox would be the easiest to try, followed by powder coating, Both pretty easy though. Powder coating less messy and quicker.

Rockrat

You got that right!!!

Been kind of achy last few days, figured it was normal age related, but fever hit yesterday evening:(. Things better this morning, so hopefully it was short lived version. Makes Covid in 2020,21,22, and now '23

Rockrat

Not only that he is under indictment and cannot buy, but his residence is out of state , so cannot purchase a handgun anyhow.

Rockrat

If unlubed, you could either heat to about 400 degrees for 30 min and cold water quench or you might try powder coating. If already lubed, then the alox might be the ticket

Rockrat

Happy Birthday to you and may you have many more.

Rockrat

I remember that morning well. The one morning I didn't turn on the TV for news. Dropped the kid off at school and went into town, listening to the radio. Heard the news and thought the DJ was playing a sick minded joke. Hit the grocery store and made it home and turned on the TV and just sat there k...

Rockrat

IIRC, Speer made them

Rockrat

If I was ordering one, it would be the 22" barrel version

Rockrat

I tried 8gr Unique, but pretty dirty and pretty light. I will try 10gr. next and try some 231.

Grizz---those .429 balls could be powder coated and would bring them up to around .431"

Rockrat

When a lot younger, I used to load round balls in a 45 auto "Star". Had to cut a coil off the recoil spring, but they shot well and functioned the action. I have used a .500" ball, powder coated, in a 50ae BFR that shot very well at 50 ft.

Rockrat

Probably won't help, but at one time had S&W 29's in 4, 6.5 and 8.375 in lengths and even with 44 special loads, the shorter barreled gun was just more obnoxious to shoot.

Rockrat

I have its twin. Feeds just about everything. Full wadcutters with a little jiggling of the lever. Fit and finish are good and accurate to boot. Looks like the last ones came out pretty good.

Rockrat

I still have my Marlin 410 along with a Baikal o/u and a Mossy 500 (still in the box). Prefer the O/U and will probably try and send the Marlin down the road this upcoming gun show. Had a 42 that was my Grandads, but it went down the road. He used it for bobwhite quail, but none around here. Shells ...

I am suprised that it took so long for Putin to dispose of him

Wife loves her S&W Shield EZ in 380. I liked it too, but wanted a bit more oomph, so got one in 9mm.

Rockrat

Friend of mine was worried about things if the nukes started flying and wanting to be prepared to live afterwards. Telling me about what is being said on podcasts and stuff had him really worked up. Told him not to worry about things, you live about 10 miles from a main AFB which would be one of the...

Butter Rum was my favorite. Once I opened them, I would eat the whole pack. Then orange or grape (preferred). Lemon was good.

Use to call the 4' x 8' x 16" ricks of wood a "short rick". Hardwood up here is about $300 (at least) a cord. Softwood is about $250 a cord. Not many peach and apple orchards here as there used to be. I would get that for my fireplace and it would last about all day before I had to ad...

Prayers up for a speedy recovery

Rockrat

Would an old steel ammo can work for a faraday cage?

Rockrat

Might have a burr on the mag follower or in the tube itself. Possibly a small dent in the mag tube under the forearm is putting a bind on the follower, or the tube might not be perfectly round, but a bit egg shaped and is binding the follower. I would pull the mag spring and follower and run it down...

Looks like a fun ride on a motorcycle!! Beautiful looking country.

I can remember way back, in my early 20's, hauling hay in 105 degree temps and at least 80% humidity. Think I was sweating it out as fast as I could drink it. Then had to stack it in a metal barn that the prior crew had unloaded their hay to where only the South door of the barn could be opened, not...

Rockrat

My wife had a Beretta 21a also, then tried a PPK/s, but too hard to "rack" the slide. EZ in 380 came out and she tried it and loved it. So much, I ended up with one in 9mm and have put about a thousand rounds thru it. It is my usual CC. Wife tried my 9mm but still preferred her 380.

Rockrat

paste wax--floor variety. Like Johnsons floor paste wax. Not car paste wax I am pretty sure.

Rockrat

I use it some. Sometimes when a boolit casts a bit big, its tough to run it thru the Star sizer, so I put a very thin coat on, let dry, and then they are easier to size. For some rifle bullets, sometimes I coat with a thin film of LLA, let dry , and then run thru the Star and size and lube normally....

Rockrat

I also used Paco's Apache Blue lube. Once I started using it, nothing else would do. Ran out of it a long time ago. Think I bought 10 sticks when I bought it, wish I had bought 100.

Rockrat

If you use a lube/sizer, I would suggest White label lubes. I use Caranuba Blue lube for just about everything from 800fps to 2500fps, except for the big boy that gets Caranuba Red, a bit sitffer lube. Used to blend my own lube , with lubes from different makers, but the Blue stuff worked well, so I...

Your BDL, IMHO, is worth about double what that springfield is worth. You should be able to get at least $650 out of your BDL and probably more. I have your twin on that BDL but mine is about 35 years older. Put thousands of rounds thru it. Bought a Springfield like show in the pics, a few years ago...

Can't you just crimp in the top itty bitty lube groove?

Daughter has a shepherd. Give him a few more years at most. She will be heartbroken when he passes

Rockrat

Performed CPR once before, on a friend of mine involved in a motorcycle accident. Was told later that if he had wrecked outside a level iv trauma unit, he still would have passed. Still haunts me somewhat, but would still do it all over again.

Heard child cpr is the toughest

Chaos theory here. But I do know where MOST stuff is.

Dillon rapid trim will size and trim. I use a seperate decapping die on station 1 of my 650 and the RT on the second station. When done, clean lube off cases and run sized/trimmed cases back thru the 650 with the toolhead set up for loading. I started with the old lee loader and figured later it was...
