What would one expect to pay for a levergun like this? I may be putting mine up for sale. I know without more in it cant be determined precisely, a ballpark figure is what I'm wondering. Thanks, Tom

With the 311008 Lyman mold. What diameter does it drop bullets from the mold? I'm looking at buying one new and need to know. On the Midway site it shows it as a .312", On the Midsouth it shows as a .311". Wondering what it actually is before I order. My 1894CL in 32-20 shoots the laser ca...

Is there any way to get a set of these rings for a Winchester 9422? I ordered a set of Weaver type Sign Zee rings and they were way to big for my gun. I'll keep them for future use. Burris's web site didnt give any measurements for there rings. Niether did Grafs, but the pic on Grafs site looked lik...

I am interested in trying this in my 32-20. Dont really have cash to buy any, but I do have some indoor shooting range 357 mag brass to trade. Federal or R+P, cleaned in tumbler. Looks pretty good. Hows 2 bullets for one brass sound? Might be better to email me from my profile. Thanks, Tom

No, I didnt know anything about it. How about filling me in? Thanks, Tom

Our son and his girlfriend had a baby boy. Little "Chance". Oh ya, my wife and I had a baby girl. Her name is Maggie. Shes 10 weeks old and weighs 1.8lbs. I put some new pics on a slideshow and thought I was creating a new album, but it just added to the album I already had. The little gir...

Thanks guys, Tom

It sounds like I should take it to a smith as I dont have any decent tools. I dont want to muck it up. The only other bullets I've ran through it have been the Hornady 100gr XTP's. I never had a problem with them. When it jammed up with the first round I did get it out, looked at it and it showed no...

Can you tell me more about using this system with a lever action? I hate to admit it, but I really have no idea how to clean a levergun. Thats just one more reason I'm hanging out with you guys. Thanks Bear, in advance. Tom I've gone away from the standard type cleaning rods. I have been using the O...

This is the first time I've experienced this jamming. Its also the first time I've ran lead bullets through this gun. I started using lead bullets and the first round jammed. I had just loaded 100 test rounds with 2 different types of powder. I did get the first round to chamber, and the second no p...

Thank you Hobie. Tom

I just recieved my laser cast bullets. Looking through my Lyman pistol and revolver handbook, 3rd Addition it shows using WSP primers. Is that the case, small PISTOL primers? I'm gonna load 50rds with Titegroup and 50rds with Unique. For Titegroup it shows a starting load of 3.2gr and a max of 3.6gr...

:P I just got off the phone with a breeder in Toledo. My wife and I are going there tomorrow to pick out a new puppy and put a deposit down. Its a Morkie, Maltese/Yorkie mix. I wanted to get 2 of them, but the wife doesnt see it my way. Oh well, that will give me a chance to go back by myself and ge...

Thanks for your kind words Sixgun and the rest of you. The vet called lastnite, she passed away in her sleep, alone in a kennel. Never again will I leave any of my pets in that condition all nite at the vets. I'm not blaming them for her death. I'm saying she should have been home, where she belonge...

Sixgun, I wish I would have taken your advice. They called me a half hour ago and said she past away peacefully in her sleep. I think she really missed Kiowa. I know we miss them both. We're gonna go bring her home in the morning. I have a spot next to Kiowa. Tom, My wife and I are with 'ya. on your...

6 days ago we had to put our little Yorkie "Kiowa" down due to a brain tumor. She was our youngest of 4 dogs. Friday our oldest "Precious" took sick. Got her to the vets before they closed for the evening. They took xrays and thought she just had too much to eat. The wife and I k...

The rifle I will be loading for is the Marlin 1894CL. I just ordered some of the Laser Cast 115gr bullets. What is a good powder to start with for this cast bullet. How about a starting load? Another question, I mistakingly bought a box of Speer 60gr .312" Gold Dot bullets. I think they are a h...

I just ordered 500ct of the 115gr laser cast. It will probably take me a long time to shoot that many. Thanks, Tom

How do I get to your blog?

Dont know anything about loading lead bullets, but if think I'm willing to give em a try. Anyone wanting to part with any? I'll be shooting them out of my Marlin 1894CL. Thanks, Tom

Skeaking of Easter. Happy Easter everyone. This is my Easter greeting that I send to my sisters. Tom

I drive dumptruck hauling asphalt in the area. Next time through flip it to 16 and give me a shout. Ask for OD. We also have some work on Rt6 east of Huron, I'll be able to hear ya from Rt2. Take Care, Tom (OD) Welcome to the forum. I've rolled through Clyde a bunch of times since I'm an OTR driver ...

We have 3 other dogs that are much older than the one we are gonna lose, so I think I'll wait on getting another until we lose the rest. Thanks all for your kind words. Tom Welcome. Don't go without a dog too long; the quickest way to 'cheer up' again is to have another pooch to liven up your days. ...

Anyone having problems with the follower in the mag breaking? They're made of cheap potmetal. I know of at least one other guy who had one break. Called Browning parts and the lady was kinda rude. She said they didnt have parts for mags and that I'd have to buy a new one. Had her tranfer me to someo...

Well Old Savage, if times get tough I will be looking you up. And God knows they are getting tougher everyday. I think I have my email in my profile, Give me a shout sometime.
