Not PC but DRT! I have a G19 & a G21 on my nightstand w/ Surefire lights and spare mags for both. Next to that is a Mossberg 930 with a bandoleer of 00 at it's foot. What am I afraid of? Nothing! I live in a great neighborhood but had some gang banger/ dealers next door for @ three years. They'...

The Hornady #7 book lists that bullet and TITEGROUP in 38spl with a C.O.L. of 1.1450" as 3.0 to 4.7grains in a S&W M15 w/4" barrel. Longshot was not listed. HTH Just checked the rifle section, in a Rossi M92 chambered in .357 it shows TITEGROUP running from 2.8gr to 4.3gr with a C.O.L....

So does a 30 carbine, but several die makers have them. Then again, the 45/70 is a lot larger, requiring more carbide for the resizing die, which increases cost.

How can I not buy something that's not there to not buy?

1894cfan

I checked the Milpitas, ca Walmart and the ammo cabinet was pulled and replaced with standard shelving, all they had left was a bit of 12g shot ammo, a bit of 30/06 Rem ammo and a bit of .410 shot ammo. It looks like the rumer from not all that long ago is true, WALLY WORLD is not ordering any more ...

Parden me for putting it this way, but when it comes to Glocks, KEEP YER BOOGER PICK OFF THE BANG SWITCH til yer ready to shoot something!!!

Except for the wood, looks just like my '77 94 that was rebuilt after a plane crash.

1894cfan

Let hope it's chambered for .22 Mag.!

1894cfan

I've used it in 357 cases with 158swc @ 3.5-4.0 (prefer 3.5) and 30/30 using Hornady 86gr JSP with 9.0-11.0gr. 9gr didn't expand the case enough so went to 10gr, which was an improvement but not enough so tried 11gr with useful accuracy out to 50yds with the 86grainer. It left enough space in the ca...

Maybe a 3 across... SxSxS... Or 2 over and one under The single-trigger idea has some merit, especially for HD.. I don't see the need for one in my circumstance.. Too bad Val Kilmer didn't have one of those in "Tombstone", that shootout would have made more sense! I mean, three shots out ...

I've got one of those on a Henry Mini Bolt with a factory fire sight, works pretty good for training newbys and gets pretty good groups out to 50yds with CCI subsonic HPs.

While not 10 rd., I'll go with Granddads '41 M70 in 30Govt/06 with 5rd stripper cutout.

I actually reload the .32NAA, which is a 380 necked down to a 32. But I would reload the 380 regardless, factory ammo is way to pricey for me, and it can be hard to find. You can find tons of bullets to use because the 9mm is the same .355 and if in a pinch, one can trim 9mm to size to fit the .380...

That's nothing, I remember looking up early one morning and seeing what must have been about 30 or more Turkey Vultures circleing in tight formation riding a thermal heading out to look for dead stuff. Wish I had a camera then, it surely was something to see. :shock: There's a bunch of really tall t...

180's with 155's a close second. Also have both 23 and 27 loaded with either GDs or Win JHPs in 180.

Thanks for that. I've had my Mini 14 about 30 years and didn't know about that.

P.S. Also works for 30 carbine.

While it's not a lever, I've got a Mossberg 500 bantam in 410 with a 24" full choke barrel and a 18" cyl. bore barrel for close encounters loaded with Win 3" 00buck loads as backup to my 1894c.

My brother had a PPK for his wife, she didn't like it so he sold it and got a NNA Mini in 22mag to stuff in her purse. :roll: Me, I've got a Colt Govt. 380. May be in the PPK class, but handles more like a mini 1911 without the recoil of a 45 and conceals pretty good. Maybe not as good as the modern...

[ I had to petition a range to change their policy to allow Pistol Caliber Rifles inside.

Guys, it was just a test with one round in a Ruger New Vaquero and one round in a Marlin 1894c. No, 1894cfan, you weren't doing anything particularly hazardous (other than "fessing up" amongst this crowd)... you just got us off on another rabbit trail as often happens with a thread. Your ...

Guys, it was just a test with one round in a Ruger New Vaquero and one round in a Marlin 1894c. The New Vaquero went pop/bounce and the 1894c went bang with the round going MAYBE 4" into the stack of phone books, both from around 4 inches above the books.

Glad you didn't get a stuck bullet, or worse. That's probably my BIGGEST FEAR when it comes to semiautomatic rifles - it's so easy to shoot fast enough you couldn't "stop" if you heard something 'different'; especially at a range with others shooting nearby. Fortunately, most semiauto gun...

Had an old box virgin RP 38 spl brass that I had loaded up YEARS ago and decided to pull the bullets and load them in 357 cases. When I dumped the powder it looked like Unique, so decided to use it in a 357 target load using 158gr LSWCs. Ended up loading 4gr in the 357 cases, and thought I'd try a r...

I've got a Williams FP with target knob on the elevation side, just in case. The target knob in that location doesn't get in the way of much of anything. BTW, mine is also a '77.

My Marlin 1894c with williams peep sight is as tactical as I really need to get in my neck of the woods. However, if I need to reach out and touch someone I'll just grab my Granddads '41 Win M70 in 30govt/06 with Lyman receiver sight.

Might I suggest LOTS of .22lr shotshells?

I didn't read all the threads, so forgive me for this. Right or wrong has nothing to do with this, it's all about the bottom dollar! Even after all these years, it STILL makes money, just like WW2 and WW1!
