I have been to the VC there at Mr. St. Helens, I can only imagine what it must have been like, I too hope it is nothing serious going to happen up there.

Try this. Cut your letters out of thin wood, soak em in water, freeze em in the freezer for a couple hours, place em on the pine, and immediately burn around the pattern with a propane torch. By the time the wet, frozen wood reaches kindling temp, you will have a fair char around it. I think this i...

No offence taken here. I think the whole thing got mixed up as this was intended to be something to talk about. I don't get off the mountain much and some days this is my only comunication with the outside world. The book sounds like a good idea but to be honest, at this point in life and the amoun...

Tmair mentioned the huntsmen here in utah. They saved my life, and are a top notch hospital. I had skin cancer that ran away. I did lose my entire nose about 3 years ago and they built me a new one. They gave me 6 months to two years if I didnt do it. I will also pray for her. Booger Bill PM sent. ...

Guys, for those of you who take your roll crimped shells duck hunting....How do they hold up in wet conditions? I assume you can't submerse them, but does splashing get them instantly unusable? Mergus I always just used an over shot card for roll crimping, the ones that I had where white, and slick...

Actualy I have manuals that I have read from cover to cover. Did my first reloading back in the early 70's and in the ten thousand or so rounds that I've reloaded I have just never played with slugs and I thought it would scratch a cabin fever itch. I was hoping for conversation and not a "go ...

I don't know where your at but here in Ut. we have the Huntsman cancer center, from what I understand they have some of the best and brightest, I know Mr. Huntsman has a lot of money to throw at it.
Bust of luck to you and your wife.

Maybe we should ask about 348 bullets as well since the Model 71 will be returning. Dave B I mentioned this in the 348 thread, just went to Sportsman's Warehouse to pick up a gun safe and they had some of Hornady's new run of 348, 200 gr.

270? I am not sure that would be capable of a clean kill on a ground squirrel these days. Just check the gun magazines or the forums if you do not believe me. Hey, .270 Win is one of my favorite calibers!!! How can you go wrong with a .270 and a .348? That is a perfect pairing. Add a .223 Rem and y...

Well, my "sickness" is up to two .348s, and three "real" rifles. Not to mention the other related symptoms (.38-55, .30-30, .44 mag, .45 Colt. ,40-65 and so on, and so on) I don't want to be cured. I think we're all a little sick, I have the above mentioned 45-70, and 348, then ...

I guess that could be it has been a long time since I bought any of these, but the box it kind of cool looking, and it says "Interlock" on it, don't know how long they have called them interlock, but I look every time I go into the store and they never have them, I just can't believe they...

Sounds like your good luck. I just checked their website and they are listed as "unavailable" Ok I guess it was my lucky day, I just went to Hornady's web site and looked, the new boxes are different than the ones that I found, and the price was about $10.00 below their MSRP...not that th...

Be sure to get a Lee Factory Crimp Die! The absolute best thing ever invented for loading the .348. I even bought a spare. Another real key is to find a neck sizer die (Victor, mod71alaska, had some extras for sale at one time). It will extend your case life a great deal, as well as making the sizi...

I never did skiv any of my hulls, but I can see where that could help with the crimp, most of my Federal hulls crimped ok for me, just had a ton of trouble with the Remingtons.

I have the tool from BP, it works ok, I only roll crimp my 10ga. shells, the only reason I roll crimp is to add extra life to my hulls once I have to trim the fold crimp away.

FWIW, I wasn't joking, nor did I make a typo - AND (for the trifecta) the seller is NOT asking $1900 for the gun. It is at auction - meaning it will be sold to the highest bidder - PROVIDED the winning bid is above any reserve price. The seller has merely started his auction for that gun @ $1900, t...

From the looks of that recoil pad on the Pedersoli '86, it is built to handle some pretty stiff loads. That will be a serious big game rifle. That's what I thought, and I really like the looks of the but stock on the delux, it kind of looks like a tropical gun to me in the but stock/recoil pad area...

I am not the OP, but I don't think I understand, they are asking starting bid of $1999. you said they are not worth that much, but only worth twice that, is this a typo?

I was thinking I might print this thing into a book (a cheap one... print to web type of thing) Anyone interested in a printed version? I could get it done in one order and send them out...? You might outta check on the copyright issue first... +1 on that, I would hate to see you have those trouble...

TMair

Okay, so which is it, an 1886 or a Model 71. They were not the same action. Even though they look and function similar, the 71 action is changed from the original 1886. No kidding, if I owned one I would call it my 1886 extra light, pistol gripped rifle, because of the caliber...but that's just me!...

TMair

Sure is a beauty. I have a question though.....for you 86 guys. Why called the 86/71 and produced from 1936-1957? I guess in 1871 is when the improvements came about......but what took them so long to get them produced? The Winchester model 71 was introduced in 1936, and was going to be called the ...

I've said it before I just cant imagine how this cal. died and the 375 stick around as long as it did, not that the 375 is a bad round by any means.

TMair

Not that it matters but, I don't think that Ken Waters ever did a Pet Loads article on the .356 Winchester. Yes that is what I was meaning, after I re-read my post I could see how it was confusing, I was a little dissapointed when I went through my Pet Loads manual and there was no 356 data :( Terrky

TMair

I have one, but I don't use it, it has to be big to hide my Ruger 45, plus it closes with three snaps, and velcro so it makes a ton of noise when you open it, and it is as big as a purse.
I finily found a IWB that is tuckable.

Now this is just what I have read, and herd, but if they do not have the box, and if they have been fired, they are considered to be just another winchester 94, and do not have any real collectors value.

I had a BB in 375, it was a beautiful gun, the fit and finish was perfect, had it been a 356 I might still have it, no I would still have it just because I couldn't get reloading components for it, that's how I roll.
