This is a question with which I'm struggling. My wife and I are cheap. This is how we have prepped for our retirement (and get investments taxed twice... :evil: ) and we struggled with getting a cell phone (one). We finally got the cheapest Tracfone possible when we went on the big RV trip so that w...

Man, I'm just so excited! As so often happens a thing isn't impossible to do but one has to hit on the technique to make it possible given the tools available. I knew that I could reform the .50-90 brass but hadn't hit on the technique necessary. As can be seen in the above pic, I can now reform the...

John Boy, I've got some of the Buffalo Arms brass which they've used to make up their ammo (I got one box, whew!). The .50 AK will cost me $.87 each before my time forming. The .50-90 is about $.95 a piece. The Jamison would have cost $1.12 each. Did Chaparral give a price? I can imagine with the Eu...

Ok, so using my concept of differential case lubrication I just produced a perfect .45-75 case from a trimmed .50-90 and did the same with one of the .43 Egyptian cases Ranch13 sent me. Those last are made up on .50-70 brass and I thought it should give us a good idea of case length issues. It isn't...

Lion Hunters
I was just watching a History Channel show on man-eating lions and noted that #1 - one fellow used a slightly modified #4 in .303 British to kill a 3 year old man-eater with 2 shots. #2 - somebody used an 1895 Winchester to kill an elephant. Had photos but saw no reference to loads.

I'm also going to take a serious look at 50-70 cases. Only problem is that they are more expensive than 50 AK. A lot of people aren't going to want to mess with long trimming sessions and the 50-70 would solve that. Also, a lot of bullets won't crimp in their designed groove with a 1.88 case though...

Good post...Using heavier than normal bullets on Elk & Moose has made sense since Bert Riggall (the great Rodky Mtn. guide) began using them on same. Sam Fadala got the 30 WCF itch after reading H.V. Stents article in the 1980 Gun Digest-already a fan, I just got crazy with the experiments.. Wh...

I didn't get good results just lubing on the pad so I tried spray lube (forgot I even had the stuff). That was fine for making it go in and out of the die but got lube dents. I think it needs to be annealed and/or differentially lubed, i.e. lots a lube on the bottom half of the case, regular on the ...

You must not read the posts by the .45-75 crowd. I've got some of that info here on my blog . To summarize, there's Bertram and Jamison and reforming/reformed .348 Winchester brass. If you find any, get it. Jamison will NOT be making more for at least 6 months due to defense contracts. Starline does...

Remington Rebates
Rebates on ammo and guns (no levers). I think they are seeing decreases in purchases due to recent price increases.

I love my Model 8. This was the 81 before pistol grips (well, mostly, some 8s had them) and the .300 Savage chambering. There are not many other differences.

If the chamber is empty, you don't need the safety at all IFF you load only just before you shoot. Many use traditional leverguns in just that way. Somebody injured by a ND and it is because the bearer was pointing the weapon in the wrong direction. The biggest safety is the guy holding the gun. I d...

Thanks for the bump! What it is is that I could buy a M94 for $180 but it needs the stock and all the iron forward of the receiver. It has the original sights. I had another in my hands Saturday but Carl isn't letting that one go! Carl is a vet of WWII and Korea and a hoot of a collector/accumulator.
