Trapper update, Well two weeks ago I purchase a new "Spike Horn" in .30-30, from a local Dick's Sporting goods location. It's a New Haven, made weapon. It has some very minor wood fit issues but, is a hundred percent otherwise. Kinda dismayed to see only one screw holding on the front sigh...

Hi guys, It's been awhile. I have a question I'm looking at refinishing my dinged and scratched wood on a Marlin 336 I bought used about 8 years ago. The question is in regards to the "Marguard" epoxy(?) based finish. Is their anything special in the way of stripping chemicals that'll take...

Sadly the .35 Whelen suffers the same fate as the .35 Remington, and .358 Winchester-------- No love, and little respect that are very good cartridges. A gun writer joked when taking about the .30-06 that "The .30-06 is the most over developed cartridge in the world. And he's right. I can't thi...

Around the Dayton, OH area you have the privilege of getting a M44 Mosin-Nagant ,with a totally orange bore, because the last idiot never knew how to clean it properly for the rock bottom low price of $300!!! This VERY GUN was used in Stalingrad and captured by a Amercian Soldier as we fought the Ge...

Yet another great idea, Thanks!!!

Well. thanks everybody especially TXPete. I'm trying to get both a smooth feeding (Shape) and good upset. I learned a old trick (Circa 1890's) by putting piece of thin foil in between the two halves of the nose of the mould, on impact one side or the other will deform and break off causing the bulle...

31rdgross, Welcome to the forum. I'd say; yes you need them both. The 1895 45-70 is a heavy rifle caliber suitable for anything that walks on this continent. But a bit heavy for lighter use. The 1894 in .357 mag is excellent for lighter things up to deer and is a lot easier and less expensive to fe...

Hi guys, I recently had a thread about bullet moulds and that brings another question about leading of the bore. I see confusing threads about lead hardness being to hard or too soft and causing severe leading. I'm looking to use the cast bullets with a gas check and about 1700+ FPS out of my Marlin...

Rifleman336

Well thank you all,

It looks like theirs three places that make something that interests me. Now to place a order.

Rifleman 336

Rifleman336

Well it feeds the SWC's, but you can feel the difference between the SWC's and round nose lead.

I am looking for a different style style bullet over the SWC. I'll check out that web site you suggested.

Rifleman 336

Rifleman336

I'm looking for a non-SWC style bullet for smoother feeding.
So I forgot to put that in the opening part...........................My bad.

Rifleman336

Hi Guys,

I'm in the market for a .38 Caliber (.358) bullet mold with a rounded or semi rounded nose, for the ole' levergun, and the ability to take gas checks. I'd like it to be in the 158Gr to 180gr weight category.

Anybody knows who makes such an animal??? Or who could.

Thanks,

First I got to get my 336 chambered for it and then some dies, I was kinda hoping some else had already done it. Who knows if it can be done SAFELY, it could be real close to early .308 Win territory. I wish Hornady would put a dual cannuer (spelling?) on the bullet so that the FTX from th .308 Marl...

Rifleman336

I would like to see if the lever evolution powder and bullet used together in the .30-30 AI, that'd be sweet to see what it can do.

They reported on the news tonight that it is NOT magma moving around under the mountain. Instead, they are saying (somewhat dismissively) that it is two plates moving against one another. Now correct me if I am wrong, but isn't that BAD news? Isn't that where the big quakes come from? :shock: 2x22 ...

Rifleman336

3 miles deep is extremely shallow even 6 is considered shallow. Depending on magnitude ofcourse it's a more dangerous type of quake short of being on the epicenter.

Keep a eye on the "mountain".

Well the Destroyer USS The Sullivans DD 537 had a green shamrock that was painted on the side of the ships stack for good luck. Which it was. You can't help but wonder if the Porter had a upside down horseshoe on theirs!!!!

Awesome video. I wish I would've been able to film the F-14 / F7F Tigercat demo at Dayton,OH about ten years ago. It went well beyond flying formation to actual formation stunt routine. Loops, Rolls, vertical spiral, Ect. Man what a show.

Rifleman 336

Rifleman336

Yeah, the .30-30 with 170 gr bullets at 2200+ FPS coming out of a old and backwards levergun is too weak to kill a chipmunk. But with a 7.62 X39mm AK with a 123gr bullet doing 2,300 fps is perfect grizzly medicine. So I've been told. :shock: :lol: You offer to make them stand at 200 yards and hit th...

Dumb question are they outlawing speedloaders all together or just that they have to be bought in state?

.308 bore Thanks for coming back and pointing out they still catalog one, the reason I asked on bore size is concerning bullet availability which is far from a problem with .308 bullet (reloadable brass is another issue), but the field gets real narrow on the .311 stuff. But on other hand doesn't t...

Rifleman336

Well, It's a 50/50 proposition with me. I would've of gone with a METAL trigger guard, A military style finger adjustable rear sight (read ALA M-1 /M-14 style complete with a stripper clip glide), and if the M-14 mag really wasn't doable ( come on, really?!). Then I would've elected to have a five s...

Rifleman336

Not meaning to hijack the thread, but does anybody know if the bore diameter on the Ruger 7.62x39mm bolt actions are like the Mini-30 (.308 Bore vs. .311) ? Nice catch their Txpete, I wish I had the money to by a new but discontinued SS about 4 years back. I was as always low on money ( the story of...

Rifleman336

Another thing to consider is it might be BDC'd to 5.56 or 7.62 NATO. That and another thing I notice is a lot of them don't have Parallax compensatation so the dot appears to be on target and you miss!!! :evil: That or I'd love to put a ACOG on my .30-30, but the BDC makes it worthless.

Rifleman336

The only good thing about the round bead front sight is it's great for fast snap action sights ( sorta like the 19th centuries answer to the Red DOT sights of today) but suck for precision shooting. Now I know Marbles stopped making their "Sourdough", sight so who makes a similar product t...
