I gotta ask, why?
But then I don't own one so it really doesn't matter.

Both are good.
Try each to see if you pistol likes one better than the other.
Half the fun of reloading is the shooting.

What he said ^^^^ about Barry Darr lube.

With proper bullet fit & a gas check you can push it pretty fast (like 2000'/sec in a .357 Max carbine)

Nice outcome to your little expidition! Those youth only seasons are great. Our state adopted one a couple of years ago. They time it to coinside with the state teachers conference so all the public schools are closed on Thursday & Friday. This year it fell on the week before the general firearm...

as posted by Skratch on the Beartooth Bullet forum: "This just for what it's worth. A retired rail roader friend gave some me some blocks of lube used in the old steam locomotives, blocks about 4" square & 10 - 12" long. They were probably from the 30s or earlier. No leading and i...

Don't they use walkie-talkies at the Quigley Match for that very reason?
And they're shooting the big stuff.

Until then, the reader's digest version... what are the 10 gun, por favor ?

Well Rusty, we know one is the Spencer and one is the '73 Winchester.

Guess we'll just have to buy the book to learn the other ocho.

I don't much care for variable power scopes, so when I was looking to scope a 7mm Mag bolt action I went with the 6 power Leupold. As I remember it, other that going the custom shop route it was "take it this way or look elsewhere". I took it and so far it has been a good choice. .. 1100 m...

rjohns,

I must agree, you have a nice one there!

My 24 bore doesn't have a hind sight, makes putting a round ball on target a bit of a challenge.

chuck,

what do you use as a .444 load with TB?

I have never loaded 45 Colt

Do they "grow" with mulitple re-loading?

I know from reloading other cartridges that to get a uniform flare & crimp you need to have a uniform case length.

Very nice rifle gun.

A 38-55 with a 26" barrel sounds sweet!
JES did a good job turning my Marlin into a .356.
I think you are going to like it.

Boonie Sling just sorta falls out of the way when I shoulder my rifle. Been using it for 6 or 8 seasons now and as I said, so far I like the way it works.

Twodot

Real nice. I see it wears a hind sight. That should make it easier to lob roundballs into a target

Twodot

I think mine is a "Boonie Sling", same idea with a different name.
I like they way it works.

Ji,
I was thinking of the old Marlon Brando version also, but I may have to find a copy of this new one to watch. I hear there is a skinny dipping scene with Renee Zellweger.

Ji,
That's some neat high speed photography.

I have a question for twodot: You said you had a 30-30 rebored to 356. Is the standard 94 action strong enough to handle it? Just curious because I was always under the impression the Big Bore receiver was hatched for that reason. To clarify, my levergun is a Marlin. Last time I checked JES would o...

Roy,

Just started using cast iron. There's been one hanging on the wall of our cabin for probably 20 years. When I redid part of the kitchen I brought it home. Read a little on them cleaned it up, seasoned and have been using it ever since. My wife bought me a great big one for Christmas last year for m...

Here is what I used to open my cylinders cylinder hone2.JPG It took a while to get from .355 on the smallest hole up to a uniform .358 all the way around. A slit piece of 1/4" dowel holds the 400 grit wet/dry paper. A 1/4" hole drilled thru a 38 Sp case helped center the hone. Chuck it up ...

Never buy anything as an investment, only buy if it interests/pleases you. In such cases the value means nothing. If value is everything to you move on.
