Looks to me like you have a new elk hunting partner. Really enjoyed your post, thanks!!

Like the good doctor says; Remington 200gr soft point Core-Lokt ammunition shoots great in my '70s vintage 336C. When I first got it, I used to shoot Winchester Super-X 200gr Silvertips and Power Points in it. I still have a box of each but haven't seen any for sale in over 20 years. I have also fir...

Buffalo Bore has a Heavy 38-55. A real stomper that they say will fire in any 38-55, or .375 :? :? :? https://www.buffalobore.com/index.php?l=product_detail&p=159 E-mail them and ask; they say that you can fire their 38-55 loads in a 375 chamber. I probably fire more 38-55 brass (winchester bra...

Keep in mind there are two lengths of 38-55 brass. The shorter and newer is 2.080", that fits in Marlins and modern Winchesters. I believe the longer measures 2.125". That may not fit. Here is an article: http://archives.gunsandammo.com/content/starline-3855-brass I just went and measured...

I'll start this off by saying the guns in my other post (Ravens/Bersa, etc.) are imaginary and I do not own such junk. My little buddies (Winchester & Colts) are safely tucked away in the basement.......a very dry basement with a water purge system if need be. But... But... The Lincoln's real, ...

I've had good luck with 3031. I've also tried Varget and I think that it might be a good one, just haven't used it enough yet to be sure.

damienph

Do you still have the wheels for the Continental? If not put me down for the Homey Boy Bersa; actually shouldn't they go together?

Be careful, you may be 50 miles from Philly but storms do some unexpected stuff sometimes. Take care!

So, did you figure it out?

I was going thru the line at my local supermarket one day after a day's work. Woman #1 had about 5 lbs of fresh shrimp and a few other odds and ends. Woman # 2 sees her shrimp and remarks I had some of those shrimp just last week, I made scampi and it was great. About that time woman #1 gets her to...

Marbles may have a PDF set of instructions/assembly guide on their web-site. I know that Lyman does. In the past Hobie had a pretty good (color pics) dissassembly/assemmbly/repair article on his "Shooting with Hobie" website that, if I remember right, showed how to tighten up the sight. It...

The Cabelas near Kansas City has always been well stocked whenever I've been there. Prices seem a little high on some stuff but at least they usually have what I am looking for. They always have a good selection of used guns. I bought my Colt Officers Model .22LR Target there; they are certainly wil...

I think that a rollmark with the wrong chambering would be very rare. I also wish that I was the one who found it. I would love to have a .32WS trapper to go with my .30-30 trapper.

damienph

Don't let that mistake stop you from posting your gun threads. I got a lot out of that one, I am now determined to try 220gr JSPs in my .35 Remington 336C. I think that posting a correction would have been plenty. The rest of the info was still valid and interesting. Like AJMD and harry said, people...

And a great chambering!

I would think that they would be for .45-70 or similar since they are typically sized .458" or .459"

I love those 1903s. I really regret trading mine away. I feel your pain! I had several at one time and let them slip away. :roll: :cry: I suppose I should be on the lookout for an affordable one again... What's really painful is I had the Colt, a CZ50 (no import marks) and an Armi Galesi (also no i...

Sounds like a deal to me. I love those 1903s. I really regret trading mine away.

I miss the days when I could buy a 500 round brick of 22LR at my local Sports Authority for $8.99 (x 10 = $89.90). Seems like ammo prices skyrocketed when Obama-nation came to power. :roll: I miss the days that I could buy a brick (ten 50rd boxes in a larger box) for twice that. Who thought the bul...

I have an old neighbor, now in a nursing home, that is a couple of years older than my Dad (a WW2 vet) would be.

Thanks for the range report Pitchy; I'll have to try that 220 gr load in my 336C. I just thought that mine was accurate. Thanks!!

I have two different types of 148gr LWC bullets; older Speers that are designed to be seated flush and Mid-Kansas bullets that are designed to leave some above the case mouth. I would have to measure to be sure how much, but they do have a crimp groove for proper seating depth. The Speers that I hav...

Recoil is not that bad. Figures put recoil around 50lbs. My 50 alaskan on my marlin feels worse! And of course no were near my 585 Nyati! :D I am glad to hear that. My brother has a 50 Alaskan Browning M71; one of the few guns that I find no pleasure in shooting. Your BLR is one fine looking rifle ...

Doesn't that carrying handle double the weight of that revolver??? What the scope does for me is more than double the effective range that I can shoot it at. I also have a scoped 7 1/2" Super Blackhawk that I am much more confident taking longer shots at deer than with my (non-scoped) 4 5/8&qu...

I might need a little thicker recoil pad that that.

I use mine mostly for taking coyote targets of opportunity. I handload 90gr XTPs in my Blackhawk and 110 JSPs and JHPs in my 1943 Inland M1 Carbine. It's easy to load for, accurate and fun to shoot. http://i1230.photobucket.com/albums/ee484/damienph/PA142066.jpg http://i1230.photobucket.com/albums/e...

Good shooting! I got side tracked watching your videos. That 1903A3 that was your Uncle's is a real beauty!! the 1903 and 03A3 are my all time favorite rifles.

You might want to try one of the "Mercury" recoil reducers. I shot an H&R Handi Rifle in 45-70 that had one installed in the butt stock. Really helped. I suspect that Midway USA, Brownell's and Graf & Sons all sell them. I know many don't like it but porting your barrel does work. ...
