2ndovc---last 338 me XLR I saw sell on GB, went for $3,200

Rockrat

I would lean towards a rnfp, 200ish grains @1000fps. Its what I shoot in my contender carbine in 45 acp

Rockrat

26 degrees and about 8" of snow. Just got thru clearing off the driveway. Don't miss the ice down in the flatlands at all

Rockrat

My mid 70's Marlin 39A. Thousands of rounds thru it, probably tens of thousands. Cleaned it once. Still functions 100% and is accurate as I can shoot, even back when I bought it. Loved ww high velocity sx ammo. Heck, it loved just about anything I fed it , but the WW was king. I once put a cardboard...

Rockrat

You are indeed blessed to still have them.

Rockrat

piller---you might have something I have read about. Its a genetic variation, a double expression of the gene that controls the sensation of taste of bitterness. Some people can't stand the taste of beer, cauliflower, cilantro and other foods that have a bitter flavor. With the double expression of ...

Rockrat

I load the 180gr Rem. bullet designed for the 357max., for my carbine. I use MP-300 powder, under a max. charge and still get 1700fps. If I ever get to shoot a deer with it, it should be a Thumper.

Rockrat

I think the '71 winny I saw today would win hands down!!

Rockrat

LGS has a '71 winchester, to say the least, is in poor shape. Hardly any blue and the wood is atrocious. Forearm might be saved, but buttstock needs replacement. Only good thing, is the bore looks great!!! Poor thing languishing in a corner. 2/3 mag tube. Would hate to re-bore the thing because the ...

Rockrat

Yawn!!! Another flash in the pan cartridge

Rockrat

Depending on how badly bent, you might be able to take some steel round stock that just fits in the tube and radius the end. Then heat the damaged area and drive the round stock thru the heated tube.

Rockrat

You can probably find a Marlin, but boy, you will pay thru the nose for it. My Rossi is OK, but doesn't feed that well.

Rockrat

Bought one of the last Remlins around here, in 357mag. Its put together fairly well. Dang thing even feeds wadcutters. I was surprised how well it shot.

Rockrat

I'll take a 20" barrel please. Something along a 1-16" twist or 1-14" twist.

327 federal, but at least the 32 mag.(sure regret selling mine!!)

Rockrat

AJMD429--------Your XLR will probably do close to what my XLR will do. Mine has had a bit of work, trigger job and a few other minor things. It will do under MOA out to at least 225yds with jacketed and slightly over MOA with a really hot cast load to that same distance, also using LVR. (I bought it...

Rockrat

My normal pulseox is in the low 90's, of course, I live at 6000ft altitude. Might have a little to do with it.

Rockrat

There was the Blackhawk in 32mag and the single six too. The single seven was a 327fed.

Rockrat

Pick up a 30 carbine blackhawk. Pretty close to the Buckeye special except for the extra 1" of barrel

Rockrat

You got that right!!

Rockrat

I cast some 429215 (225gr) yesterday and will try them and also get out my 200gr fp mould and see what diameter they come out.

Rockrat

6pt-sika

You are close on the description of my #1, but its the Stainless/walnut version!!

Rockrat

Probably told them to turn it on or face a multi billion dollar lawsuit

Rockrat

Try a powder coated .430" bullet.

Rockrat

Shot some of the .430" powder coated bullets yesterday. I had primed some with rifle primers and some with pistol primers. The rifle primers would shoot about 8" at 50 yds, but the pistol primers went into 1.5" at 50 yds. Will try some unique and some Universal.

Rockrat

Picked up a Marlin 1889 in 44-40 last year and only got around to shooting it yesterday. Picked up about 300 rounds of ammo a few weeks ago, loaded with 6gr 231 and what appears to be a swaged swc of .426" dia., in new WW brass. Bore of the rifle is fairly pristine but ammo leaded it a bit, but grou...

Rockrat

NICE!!!!

Rockrat

Is that from the Laurson(sp?) MP mould?

Rockrat

When I got my 6.5 Cr. it was a heavy barreled rifle. I shoot out to 550 with it (our ranges farthest distance). We still hope to get more property to go a lot farther, but I am not holding my breath. The smallest group I ever shot was with a spare Savage barrel in 6.5cm I cut off part of the chamber...

Rockrat

Was at lake Powell and saw a crater about 10ft across and wondered if it might have been a real small meteor strike. Was tempted to take a shovel and check things out, but it wasn't too far off a road and figured once I started digging, a ranger would drive by and I would be in deep stuff, so left i...

Rockrat

Good cartridge. Recoil is mild and its very accurate. I would say its good to about 350yds for deer and under 300yds for Elk with proper bullets. Good for varmints too.

Rockrat

West of the Mississippi, all except for Alaska and North Dakota. East of the Mississippi, haven't been to MI, IL, OH, IN, PA, ME, GA, MD, W.VA, NJ, or much of KY, so 37 states in all. Some I haven't been to , I really don't care to go to, but there are a few I want to see one day.

Rockrat

Great find. Been looking for some, but no luck. If not, I have some 180xtps I will use.

Rockrat

Might have to try without the anise seeds. Be more like a snickerdoodle probably. Rum cake sounds good. I make a variant of the Neiman Marcus cookies--mmmm.

Rockrat

I have a 9mm shield that I like. Sold off my PPK/s in 380 and bought it. I like it a lot more and its sitting next to me right now. Wife really likes her 380 shield.

Only drawback , is that its a bit bigger than my PPK/s was, so it doesn't fit in my pocket as well.

The iconic aviation icon and 2A supporter has passed away at the age of 97. Piloted the Bell X-1 thru the sound barrier in 1947.

Godspeed General.

Rockrat

You really want to be astounded, get a pair of night vision bino's and go star gazing on a clear, dark night. Hopefully one day, you can see a comet with them too.

Rockrat

My "little brother" (best friend) and I were muzzloader hunting for deer and had split up, to set up about 1/4 mile apart. At the end of the day, I headed towards the truck. Got there and waited. Couple hours passed and still no friend. Getting worried, but I was outside the truck and thought I hear...

Rockrat

I have one of the recent 410 lever shotguns. Just wondering if it is pretty well an 1895 with a shotgun barrel and can I pull the barrel off and turn it back into a 45-70 or another 45-70 based cartridge?

Rockrat

You guys make me feel so much better knowing that I am not the only one!!!!

Rockrat

Ammo would be great, but for the sad fact of all those guns that were lost in the canoe accident

Rockrat

I got the rifle from Navy Arms. Its a full mag, full octagon, stainless gun. Guess I might remove the front sight to measure it. Thinking about putting a scope on it, what is available to scope the thing? I ran some Lil Gun loads thru it with a 158gr Rem flat point. Used S&B rifle primers. 5 shots t...

Rockrat

Hope it works out for you. I bought a SS6 with only a mag cylinder and bought a 22lr. cylinder. So far so good, as it seems to work just fine. Most of the cylinders I have bought have worked out well, all except a 9mm cylinder that was too long. Picked up a factory convertible gun, so sold the 357. ...

Rockrat

Just wondering if the dovetails on the Rossi Rifles are the 3/8" or some odd metric size? Reason being , is that my rifle, when the rear sight is at the lowest notch on the elevation slide, is still hitting almost a foot high at 165 yards, with some warm 158gr ammo. Even with factory 357 PMC stuff, ...

Rockrat

Yeah, someone made me an offer, that at the time, I couldn't refuse. Did buy and XLR in 30-30 to take its place. It will shoot as someone did some accuracy work on it

Rockrat

I like them too. I passed up a 44mag, really cheap, as I was looking for another gun at the time. Found what I was looking for, but its gone down the road. One of those regrets, should have bought the 44 mag!!! Should have kept the 32mag. I had too, and the 30-30!! Oh well, hindsight is 100% right!!

Rockrat

I'm like JimT, how can you find anything?? If I clean up my bench, you can't tell I did a month later and besides, I can't hardly find anything once I clean it up. COSteve, you would probably have an epileptic meltdown if you saw MY shop. My wife doesn't like to come out there, it just offends her s...

Rockrat

Should be about like a 6.5-284 which was all the rage for long range accurate shooting for awhile. Hope your barrel is in good shape. If used for hunting, it should last a long time. Thought about building one (6.5-06) but came across a 6.5 swede in a Ruger #1 so the build went by the wayside. Good ...

Rockrat

Not a beer drinker here, but I would be tempted to try it too!

Rockrat

I had the 45-70 and little brother had the 444. You will be happy with either one. The 265 Hornady, which I believe was (is?) loaded in the 444 has worked well for me on elk at about 165yds. I was pushing it about 2200fps out of a wildcat cartridge and found the perfectly mushroomed bullet on the op...

Rockrat

Would have to say the 22lr. I enjoy my 39a. Now if you go centerfire, then, although I do like the 30-30, I would have to say the 356 Win. Just like the larger bore.
