Wait a minute! Rust? In the desert? It sure enough happens. Triple T's suggestion is the solution.

Idiot

You are correct. My thinking, and I have both, is that the 45-70 is more flexable. You can load down to .444 levels, but a .444 cannot shoot a 525 grain whopper....... I think a fella could take either one for his only rifle and do pretty darn good if you recognize range limits. See, that's sound w...

Idiot

I own a 444 Marlin and once owned a 45/70 Government. The 444 Marlin can drive a 355 grain hard cast WFN bullet at velocities sufficient to penetrate a couple elk from any angle. The 45/70 Government can drive the same type bullet weighing 425 grains at a velocity that can penetrate a couple elk and...

I've carried Bucks for years, but now since they're made in China it's over. Most buck knives, including the 110 model are made in the United States of America. It is a bit misleading to make the broad general statement that Buck Knives are now made by the trash knife making country of China. Good ...

Idiot

There isn't a lot of difference between the liberal Powell and the very liberal Obama. Contrary to popular belief, the military is littered with liberals - remember the young lady, ah, who was it, ah, oh yeah, Wesley Clark. It is no suprise that Powell will back Obama.

Idiot

Hey, what's with the picture of Obama with a table cloth wrapped around his head? I thought the article was about a buncha Mexicans who now can't.

Idiot

That is a very nice knife. Where can I get one?. IIRC it was a freebie that came with buying a Puma rifle. Oh! So it's not a Puma knife, it's a "Puma" knife. I actually thought it was made by the Puma knife company. No wonder I couldn't find it when I put "Puma bowie knife" in t...

Idiot

I was reading an article on a web site about bear defense in Alaska's parks and they said that out of 175 encounters Bear spray worked 92% of the time and guns only worked 60+% of the time. It depends on what how one defines "worked." If the bear, which is prone to attack, is alive after ...

Idiot

That is a very nice knife. Where can I get one?

What to do with it. Stash it where you can get to it should an intruder intrude and you've either run out of shots or can't take one. That thing could really ruin someones intentions. Or, you could sell it to me.

Idiot

Thanks JimT. I agree that when it comes to accuracy we've all gotten a bit carried away with exact bullet diameter (fit) along with prefectly polished and lapped bores. In addition, when it comes to terminal effect, we've become equally smitten with big meplats and really heavy chunks of lead. I gue...

Idiot

There was a time this board was filled with people "to ride the river with." Now it's filled with folks who want to curl up with a hot cup of cocoa and sit out the fight. And some who can't even tell the difference between the enemy (Obama) and a friend (Palin/McCain). From last night's de...

JimT's post reminded me why I don't shoot black powder.

You know, they make smokeless powder nowadays. I hear it works pretty well and is a lot easier to clean up after.

I use magnum primers in all of my handgun loads. There really isn't a whole lot of difference between standard and magnum primers. Ken Waters did an extensive article on 38 Special +P loads and found that magnum primers could add another 100 fps to a load with all things being equal; that't not a lo...

Idiot

NIB, new in box means it is new (has never been fired outside the factory, has not been altered in any way, has not been cleaned, and all of the accessories that left the factory with it are still with it) and comes in the factory box with all of the paper work. A gun meeting the above conditions ma...

Idiot

If you've got a full length sizing die, you've got a neck sizing die. Just follow the instructions that came with your die (or any reloading manual) to neck size instead of full size (all you do is set up for full length sizing, then back off until only the neck is being sized - its as easy as pie).

Idiot

You could cut a couple coils, but buying a new lighter spring would be better. If you do cut coils; cut only one coil at a time until the desired weight is reached and the gun still fires each and every time you pull the trigger. None of these solutions are good though. Ruger handguns require a pret...

Idiot

:lol: When I was a kid begging mom for a .22, she would counter with the offer of a shotgun for hunting because it was "safer"....when I showed her the shotgun was MUCH more powerful, she nixed the .22 and the shotgun for a couple more years........ :lol: Replace "mom" with &quo...

Idiot

Thanks guys. All of the stampings are on the top of the barrel, which is chambered in 270 Winchester. I think it was probably a "kitchen sink" company that found a bunch of M98 actions and cheap barrels, along with some Bishop stocks. This rifle is 100% sporting and the "Nato" st...

Idiot

Y'all are poor shots if ya shoot yer Crony's. :wink: Boy, ain't that the truth. Put the thing on a rock or bush, stand a few feet away, and shoot through the one foot hole - works every time. The only advise I've got is get used to hauling the thing around each and every time you got out to shoot. ...

Idiot

I'm currently stalking a commercial rifle built on a military M98 Mauser action. The rifle is stamped National Arms - Model Nato 60. I can't find anything about it on the web. Are any of you guys familiar with this rifle maker?

Idiot

Please don't try to convince a fed that there is no difference between a rifle and a good slug gun. They'll just ban the slug gun. Look, you have as much chance of teaching your German Shepherd how to talk English, as you have to convince a fed he's wrong or stupid. So don't try it. Swallow hard and...

Yep.

86er, thanks for the useful information.

Idiot

Buckshot's for deer and criminals, not for bear. It might work for very close quarters self-defense, but not for hunting. I, like Hobie, recommend the Brenneke Black Magic slug. It is hard cast and should penetrate well. Keep your eyes out for Buffalo Bore's slug. It's expected out soon and will, ac...

Idiot

Here's praying for the best for you and yours.

I remember Rita because you had my M71 in your care and repair at the time. I hope all goes well this time around. You know, you might want to consider Arizona; it's just a tad drier.

Idiot

The Stihl Farm Boss is the one for you. There are three levels of Stihl saws; occassional use; mid-range use; and professional use. The Farm Boss is a mid-range saw. Stihl's occassional use saws are okay, but I think some of the cheaper occassional use saws offered by companies that only make occass...

Well, this old 311 has good wood and works perfect. It will get hauled around a couple gun shows to see if any one wants it for a few bucks or a decent trade. If no one wants it, it will get cut down a bit and slicked up for self defense. I'll have to find some info on how to lighten or eliminate th...

Idiot

Doc's right, modified and full are the most common chokes. The right is modified and the left is full - probably. If they are different, they are usually one setting apart, i.e. improved cylinder/modified. Don't shoot slugs through either barrel

.

Idiot

It was a Foster type slug; I Brenneke slug would have wrecked it for sure. Most single barreled shotguns would likely be uneffected when using slugs, regardless of the choke. However, side by sides tend to have thin barrels and can be a little less tolerant of higher pressures. mescalero1, who is yo...

Idiot

Yesterday, like most of the U.S., was opening day for doves. I chased them through the chollas for a couple hours and filled my bag; lots of fun. My gun of choice was a Stevens 311A with a 20 gauge hole. It shoots well and is choked just right for little birds and upland game. After cleaning the bir...

Idiot

Heard the same thing in the east valley. It sounded like a freight train for about an hour. It was a little eerie.

Idiot

The handgun choice is easy. It's first duty is self-defense and defense of my loved ones; second duty is hunting on a budget. A 357 Magnum housed in a Ruger GP-100 or Security-Six with a six inch barrel will handle both duties without compromise. Either of these two handguns are portable, can be car...

Idiot

T B Good, deer are easy to kill. If I were you I'd go down to Wal-Mart and buy a box of factory 357 Magnums with 158 grain bullets and go hunting. If Wal-Mart gives you a choice between hollow points or soft points, buy the soft points. If not, buy whatever they have in 158 grain. Drive down to the ...

Idiot

Wow! That would go perfect with my two tone patent leather boots, lavender polyester suit, cream colored ruffled shirt, purple felt hat, and gold on black El Dorado CADALAC. Mmmm, mmmm, mmmm, gotta have one.

Idiot

Something was changed at Hercules / Alliant. It was the cellulose they use to make the nitro cellulose. I can't find my text on this but a conversation with another forum member a year or so ago yielded this information. The way I remember it is that the cellulose used to come from cotton. Then sev...

Idiot

Blue Dot hasn't changed its loading data for years. But I do believe their powder has changed just enough to make some of their old (current) data a tad too hot for some loads. It appears that the .357 Magnum load listed and the 41 Magnum loads are the ones that are now a little too hot. It is easie...

Idiot

You know Old Ironsights, these guys are right. Even though it is good ammo, the blue box Federal stuff is less expensive (I must admit that I did my math wrong when I posted earlier saying I'd buy the stuff up :oops: ). I personally have no problem using quality foreign ammo; I've used Norma ammo in...

Idiot

That Copper Solid I mentioned earlier doesn't pancake but opens up to a nice 5-petal slug with no weight loss and kills quickly and cleanly. I'm going to have to take a look at the Copper slug. However, I'm of the camp, and it seems to be pretty small at the moment - maybe a couple tents or so - th...

Idiot

Hobie, quit fooling around with slow slugs made of soft lead that turns into a pancake on impact stuff. If you want a slug that will penetrate and hammer anything that walks in your woods, get the Brenneke "Black Magic" 3" Magnum 12 gauge slug. Go to their website and look them over, ...

Great! I like the bulls eye. Most used Marlins that I buy have fallen victim to the "stick the sling swivel stud in the bulls eye" syndrome. So, promptly after each said acquisition I'm forced to call Marlin and ask for a bulls eye replacement (used to be free but now cost a couple bucks) ...

Prvi Partizan is good ammo. Some of their stuff is made by the same outfit that used to sell under the name "Hansen Cartridge Company." Their stuff was as good, or better, than PMC or the commodity labels from the major makers. It is difficult to find Prvi Partizan .223 ammo because it is ...

Idiot

The responses given show the hit and miss quality of these firearms. I've owned a couple Rossi revolvers. Both were certainly serviceable, but they were inaccurate, rough, and had terrible triggers. As long as I have enough money to afford something else, I won't own a Rossi. IMO they are a step up ...

The USA Seville is like a Ruger Blackhawk that's been worked over by a good gunsmith. They are fine revolvers.

I have read both the Spear and Hornady manuals front to back and they always talk about resizing and expanding in general but I didn't see where they addressed this specific question in either manual.
