call me cheap ... but, I am starting with a lee Loader and a hammer.... I have more time than money.

If that goes reasonably well i will move to a single stage Lee.

Thanks for the responses.... i will give it a shot this weekend and let you know how it turns out.

So the last time (a few years back) i shot a 30 30 i was a little bit in shock to the amount of perceived recoil from a Glenfield with a 170gr Remington Express round.. We were shooting off a bench and the guy next too us was shooting what seemed to be a 'cannon' ...and he was squeezing off a round ...

It is a new composite Mossberg 500 12 gauge that came with a 28 inch barrel and a 18.5 barrel / normal stock and a pistol grip..... and a hard case for $329 I will leave it in the house with the pistol grip / short barrel most of the time, but have the luxury of using the same gun to hunt a few bird...

Godspeed on your recovery.

Thanks everyone !!!! The 94 is in my house and making me smile. Good deal or not I really like the dealer within the pawn shop and don't mind him making a buck to help him keep in business. Also, bought a shotgun from him today as well.

Griff ... what part of Texas do you live? I lived in Texas for my first 40 years and the past 3 in South Carolina. Lived in several towns with a single stop light ... including Graford, TX where i went to High School. Edit: I looked up your club and it looks like my Grandfather lived about 10-15 mil...

Model 94 made in 67 (my birth year) ..... I thought it was in good condition and once i get it home i will put some pictures on here for you guys to give your views. Picked it up and my boy just kept telling me to buy it. I always thought it would be neat to have one from my birth year ... maybe it ...

The .357 / .38 ..... Puma / Rossi 92 ... can it safely shoot .38+p rounds? Sorry for the newb type question....
