I load the Speer 270 GD using RL-7. Very good bullet for Deer sized game. Can be very accurate too. Try the Alliant Powder site for this recipe. Rem Brass, 47grns RL-7 + Speer 270GD + wlr primer = +/- 2400fps (Max Load but still under 44,000cup). I would recommend starting at about 44grns and workin...

John Wayne as "Eathan" in The Searchers. My favorite western. I watched it again just a couple of weeks ago. Ward Bond as "The Reverend/Texas Ranger..."The war's over Eathan." Wayne as Eathan..."Maybe for you, Reverend, but I've still got my sword!" And my all time...

It makes me smile to read the words of so many American Patriots. I agree, the day we get too tired to stand up for our rights is the day we begin to lose them forever. Just remember, it is not enough to just speak up against gun control. Stand up for every right in the Constitution. We must not sla...

Just a postscript to whats been said. As a expatriot Califonian, The problem isn't with liberal legislators in Sacto. It's with the lazy non-voting, brainwashed public in CA. Vote those rascals out of office. it is the only thing they understand. Remember Prop 13? The property tax role back? The lan...

~~ RE: 35 Rem ammo fitting in the 7600 magazine? I have a 7600 in 30-06 aka Long Action. Mag fits, (30-06, 280 Rem, 270 Win, 35 Whelen.) All rounds based on the 30-06 case. They also make a short action 7600 too. (7mm-08, .308,) etc. Rounds based on the 308 case. I think they base the 35 Rem on the ...

I'd love to. Is Carrollton close enough?

RKrodie, I'd love to have a place to shoot my 444 loads if you mean it about a guest. I can offer some HdM cigars and some Antique 105 for refreshments is you like a stout burbon to sip.

Thanks for the referral on the other KG products.

Its kind of funny to me now. Back then it was hard to walk into a gun shop of any size that didn't have a stock of knives behind the glass counter and it seems that there was alway and outsized "Bowie" replica. Some were shiny bright with mock ivory handles others were more plain with simp...

I have been looking for a good bore cleaner that will remove copper without taking several hours to work. I stumbled across KG-12 Big Bore Copper remover on a site that had a very interesting 24 hour test that showed all the best known bore cleaners worked little to none on copper build up, but were...

This could be bad information but I have heard or read that the original Bowie, in addition to all the typical design features had 1/4in brass strap brased to the spine just behind the top cutting edge. This was apparently a fighting knife mod to catch the opponents blade and keep it from sliding ba...

I've heard that a 35 Whelen with a max load of RL-15 and a Speer 250 will shoot all the way through a black bear from north to south. I haven't had a chance to try it yet with my whelen, but I'm looking forward to it.

A little less than half of the American people (liberals) seem to be longing for powerful politicians to tell the other half (conservatives) what to do and restrict other peoples liberty. ie: Don't own guns, don't hunt, don't eat what you like, don't smoke, don't drive a truck or suv, what kind of t...

With all due respect to all that's been said, I think this is a "Hot butts on seats." issue. The schools still get paid for the number of students sitting in classrooms. What was it 136,000 home schooled in Kalifornia. Thats a lot of federal money that the state is not getting. That is a l...

If your interested in the Whelen in either the pump or the 750 simi, they have them on gunbroker right now.

35 Whelen is a very fine caliber, mine is a Rem 700 CDL. Accurate and hits very, very hard. DoubleTap loads high velocity in 200, 225 and 250grn.

Next to my 444 it's my favorite thumper.

JP

Way to go Jerry.

Tip on Brass. Gunbroker.com search "once fired 35" See if that suits you.

Mold them, make them and shootem up.

JP

I wonder if he does .30-30 Ackley Improved rechambers? Anyone here shoot that? Sounds very interesting to me.

Charles, you didn't mention that Texas has some of the kindest, gentle, most generous, bravest and most honorable, God loving folks found anywhere that I know of. God bless Texas and Texans every one.

I have only two words of warning regarding charismatic "Leaders"

.... Jim Jones ......

I can't compare Lee with any others as I've only used Lee. When I bought my 444 I needed to buy reloading stuff to make rounds I couldn't buy. I bought the Lee Challanger Breech lock press and I love it. I have bushings for all the 444 dies incl the crimp die and never have to adjust anything except...

..."I think after all his [McCain's] antics, that to reward him is WORSE than 4 years of (well, any of them.) At least the other choices would leave hope for next time. Not him."... The last time I heard this kind of thinking was two years ago. All conservatives were PO'ed at the Republica...

To those that think there is a lesser of two evils between Obama and Hillory, I'd like to point out that is like choosing the lesser evil between Stalin or Lenin. I choose to avoid that decision if it's all the same. McCain isn't perfect but he's not a socialist. The other two are! There are 9 month...

Mike, That kinda thinkin is gettin more and more common. I just bought another 200 once fired 444 brass and 700 280 rem too, I'm in the market for 300 pieces of 35 Whelen when I can get it for less than $45@100. "Just in case". The funny part is the Camp 45 on GB. I have been watchin that ...

This is a very interesting exchange of ideas and fears. It is further interesting that I don't recall a discussion like this when GW was running and getting elected either time. Folks had a grudging confidence in GW because they knew what he meant even if he didn't explain it very well. Now I sense ...

That was a good well written description of me a lot of the time. It's why I don't watch the news much anymore. Why I leave the room when politicians are talking on TV. I know their lying because I can see their lips moving. But, having said that I also know that all the politicians in government th...

I read on the Midway site that this refer to this 180 as a single shot to keep people from loading them in tube magazines. If you are using it in a box or clep, there is no problem.

I have most of what I need, 444 Marlin for near to middle. 35 Whelen for middle to far. .22 for little and the other two for big. 12 gauge for birds and rabbits if I want them. But I need a turkey gun and I just think It needs to be a Savage 24 o/u with .223/20 gauge in 24in barrels. That gun haunts...
