My understanding,several years back, Levi did some antigun stuff and thus for the last 10 plus years it has been strictly Wrangler.

Thank you Gentlemen for your indulgence in this, your information is greatly appreciated. Gives me alot to think about. I like Rugar, owning three of their revolvers, I like Remington, 2 shotguns and one rifle. Both companies make a valued product. You all have left me with alot to think about befor...

Any of you all had experience with either gun. Ive had Kimbers, Colts, Springfields in the past and ended up selling them all (happens when you work in a gunstore.) Just doing revolvers now, but with the way things are going in this country Im thinking a 1911 would again be a good defense choice. I ...

Not as of yet. I will give it a try and see what happens. I use the Lee dipper for most of my loads and lucked into this present load thru looking at others' data. It hits the same as my cast GC load, Skeeter bullet, with same dipper of 4227.

Thank you Gentlemen. I appreciate your expertise. I had a shot at 170 yards, but did not feel comfortable with that kind of range. These were deer. I settled instead for a 40 yard shot at a sow hog, it traveled a good 10 feet before collapsing. I really wanted a deer but there is nothing wrong with ...

What is the ethical range of a .357 levergun? 158 grain jacketed with 13 grs. 2400.

The Skinner looks like the one to go with for me. Thank you gentlemen for all your replies and knowledge sharing.

Looking to put a peep sight on my Marlin 1894, what are you all's opinions? Want to use the existing holes in the top of the reciever.

They went with the unconstitutional healthcare bill and I dropped my membership. They also think our socialist president is great. The wife just turned 50 and they should start sending her stuff, I send it back in their postage paid envelopes. PS I am really disappointed with Andy Griffith too.

Dont bother with the law enforcement, you are your best protector. I have had my CHL since 1997, pulled my gun twice while driving, on two occassions individuals have tried to drive me off the road, showing that gun stopped their bs, and this was in town. I carry pretty much carry where ever I go( d...

Take care of your dog, I have seven of them of various makes and models, they are truely "man's best friend." I lost one two years ago to liver cancer, only 7 years old, my beagle stud, Rambo. I will pray for a speedy recovery with your friend. They are better then most people I know.

Check out Stickbow.com, also. Recommend going with something that is not going to beat you up. At your height I would guess your draw is longer then the standard 28 inches. Im 54y/0 and backpain is a way of life, I shoot no more then 45#s. I like Martin and shoot their "Stick", I have had ...

Favorite part was the shoot out in the end, follow Clint and who he shoots first, throws the shotgun and gets down to make for the smaller target, shoots the civil war vet after a shot at Little Bill. Good story line, liked little Bill and English Bob.

Several thousand acres around Amistad for bowhunting for a small fee, got to obey the Nat. Park Service rules while there. Camping is good all around the lake in designated areas. Mexico is just three miles from Del Rio but I havent gone over there in 20 plus years. Del Rio is abit of a tourist town...

Thank you Charles and Glenn again. I have an original hollow point mold inherited from my father and that is the bullet I will be using. Thanks again. Let you all know how it works. We are everywhere, liberityminded men, 3%.

flounderjig

Thank you for your expertise, Glen. It is greatly appreciated. This is the bullet I will shoot from this gun. Again thank you. Strictly iron sights.

I've reloaded for awhile, 97 to be exact. I have a nice 336 built in 1963 I want to use on deer this fall. I shoot at a 100 yd. range but where I hunt there is potiental to shoot abit farther, 125 to 200 yds. Right now I am loading 23.5 grs. of 3031 under this gas checked bullet. Lyman book says tha...

Looking at various trade muskets in 20 gauge. Any one had one and what did they like or dislike? Looking at Northstar West, Pedersoli, and Loylist Arms. Loylist being the cheapest. Have done kits before from Gander Mt. in the past. Like to do the work to a certain extent, but I am no expert. Got a D...

I will go with keep them both, work overtime and get the trade musket. Thanks for all your replies, again.

I have two levers, both Marlins, one in 30-30 and the other in .357. I am a poor man who wants a trade musket badly. All my shots are under 100 yds with iron sights. Should I keep, which gun? So far I have taken a nice little 6 point and a good size hog with the .357. Just target shoot the 30-30 wit...

I have been an NRA member since 1997. My father, whom I admire greatly was an NRA member since the 50's, he has passed and before that happened he was abit upset with a NRA reference to "jackbooted thugs." I will continue to be a member of the NRA, I have also joined Gun Owners of America....

The second video is of a south Texas oral surgeon, lives here on the coast. The following year he went after elephant and got one. He is a interesting guy, pulled some of my teeth awhile back, he is easy going quiet type with big b-ll's.

13 grs. IMR 4227 with a 160 Lyman SWC 358156 gas checked. 13 gr. 2400 with a 158 gr. XTP HP. Either one for hunting or defensive. Hitting orange clays at 100 yards with either. Took my first deer with the XTP HP at 40 yards in Nov. Lung shot, one lung punctured thru, the other pulverized, exited and...

Ted H was right. I had cast these bullets and not resized them, from other posts, I had the impression that I needed to leave them be out of the die. I loaded them and the problem began. I tried some rounds this AM that had been resized and they worked great. Problem solved, I owe TedH a fishing tri...

Picked up a nice 30-30 336RC on gunbroker this week. Pretty gun, looks like a one owner, took it out and shot his deer and then put it away. Anyhow, I loaded up some 30-30 once fired brass with a lyman lead RN. Overall length measured. Before I put the factory crimp die to them I tried chambering a ...

You all sold me on the 358156 gas check. I use IMR 4227, 13 gr. They hit out of my Marlin 1894 the same as my 158 gr. XTP's with 14 grains of 2400. Shooting them both at clay targets at 100 yards. Using orange clays at that distance cause it is the only target I can make out at that distance and the...

Any thoughts on the old style "new model" vs the New Model flattop? all opinions considered. I have owned both and am contempating picking up a used old style new model.

flounderjig

Thanks again Gentlemen, for all your imput. I think I am going to go with my Marlin 1894c and trust to my ability on shot placement, and a good stout load, and the Grace of God to set it up. Believe me, God has done it for me before.

flounderjig

Thank you and that is exactly what I will do.

Gentlemen lets me hunt his place for anything at no charge. It is brushy with trees and the primary game will be hogs. Got one feeder up. His neighbors have cows and his fear is shoot throughs. So I am opting for shotgun with #3 buck. I will pattern the gun at the local range at my hunting distances...

flounderjig

Great on grackles feeding on my tomatoes, or my neighbors figs. Also use them on rats on the highlines at night. Very quiet out of my "Favorite." Occassionally get stuck in the barrel, not enough push from the primer. Order them from MidwayUSA if need be. Quieter then an air rifle.

flounderjig

Than you again Gentlemen. Alot to consider and I appreciate your input. I got the go from the better half this pm over dinner, out of course, and she was ok with a new rifle, so I think I will go with one Marlin for now and one Winchester like Senior Levergunner said. I like the sights on both and w...

flounderjig

What are the pros and cons of either? Going to shoot lead and going to hunt. Put one of these on layaway today but can change my mind at anytime. To me the Winchester just looks good. I own a Marlin 1894C and love it. Any reply is appreciated.

flounderjig

Thank you Gentlemen for your speedy reply. I slapped some money down and put it on layaway with hopes to use it to hunt in Jan. Will be shooting a old GC 168 gr. Lyman HP that belonged to my Father. Thanks again from the coastal bend.

I ran across a Winchester 94 AE at the local gun store this am. It has a tang safety and is in 30-30. Is this a good Winchester rifle? I know it is a newer model. Wood to metal fit was good. Had a nice trigger on it. They want $600 but pretty much every Winchester 94 I have seen in town or the coast...

Shoot the quiet stuff at rats on the high lines in the backyard. Use my Savage Favorite, occassion one stuck in the barrel, I take a dowel rod and push it out, occassion one that doesnt go off. Quieter then a air rifle. Use it on grackles that eat my tomatoes. Good out to about 25 yards, any accurac...

Thank you Gentlemen for the informative information. I will put it to good use. Thanks again from coastal Texas.

The Kieth 168 grain SWC, did not cycle as well as I thought, so what is the best lead bullet for all around use in .357 cases? You all's expertize would be appreciated.

flounderjig

Dont mind me, I live in Corpus, we are about 10 to 20 years behind here, though we kind of like it that way. Thanks for the info.

168 grain Keith SWC in .357 win. case with 7 gr. of Unique. Anyone played with this round? They cycle in my 1894C ok. I get good accuracy in my Blackhawk.
