Thank you Doc, that would be great.

Ha nope, instead I'll be what I call professional baby sitter or as what everyone else knows them Drill Instructor/Sergeant. Not exactly my idea of a good duty assignment but that is just one mans opinion however.

I found out today that I am going to be stationed at Ft. Benning Georgia by this time next year. Is there any fellow forum members from here that is from that area and wouldn't mind showing me around?

Hi Joe, I use just a light amount of crimp with a FCD as a just in case. The dies I've got are/were brand new RCBS, when I get done resizing my brass I can't even get a bullet started in the mouth of the neck. I've tried the load you mention with W748 but as I think back on it now I may have been us...

336A

Ed, I don't know why Hodgdon don't list data for this powder either. I'm sure that it is more than suitable however as it is listed for use by Barnes, Sierra, and Speer. In the Sierra 5th edition this powder is listed in every table as either the powder touse for hunting or accuracy, that right ther...

336A

Blain that is my next powder to try after I've tried everything I can think of with the H322. What I need to do though is find another reloader who uses 3031, and H4895. This way I won't end up with a pound of useless powder if I find it don't work so well. I had to give away my RL 15 and W748 as bo...

336A

Thats great shooting Marc. I wish that my rifle wasn't so dang fussy about what it likes to shoot. BTW Sierra lists 29.7gr of H322, with their 150gr FP as their accuracy load and listed the velocity right at 2200fps from a 20" Marlin 336. So yeah your right there. I just wish mine was too. Tryi...

336A

Since the weather was so nice today I hit the range to try my hand loads with H322. I had 3 rounds each containing 30gr to 31.5gr going up in half grain increments. The 31.5 gr charge is one that Brian Pearce always comments on, but it is .5gr over the suggested max charge weight listed in the Speer...

336A

Great topic J Miller, as I was thinking of this the other day. I would really like to move to Wyoming too after I retire from the military in a few years. But the burning question that I have is what is the job/employment oppotunity situation there at the moment.

336A

Thought you folks would like to see that. It is refreshing to see that there are still people out there that still actually hunt and stalk to get a good clean shot. Which also tells me they have respect for the quarry that their after in order to ensure a good clean harvest. To me that is the true e...

336A

I don't know if this has been posted here before or not but I thought that this is a pretty good video. It appears that the hunter is using a Winchester M64, either way it is a nice bear and a great shot. I hope you all enjoy it.

336A

Nath how well do those loads shoot for you? I've noticed that Brian Pearce always mentions 31.5gr of this powder with a 150gr bullet. In fact he wrote an article on the Bicentenial Win 1894 in the last Rifle magazine. He used some handloads using H322, W748, H335, and H4895. The H322 load shot a gro...

336A

After a lot of reading and conferring to my Sierra 5th edition manual I finally bought some H322 today. I've noticed that Brian Pearce highly recomends this powder with both 150gr & 170gr bullets. He has made mention of 31.5gr in several articles, according to him it has always performed very we...

336A

I like that idea for a scope mount. :D Thats real Redneck ingenuity at its finest! :D The only foreign guns I own are a pair of SKS's and I did try one of those scope mounts that replace the spring cover. (or whatever its called) Groups were worse than with open sights. I really don't think SKS's a...

336A

Certain firearms and calibers may be obsolete but that does not mean that they are any less useful. If we are to go by that line of thinking then why would anyone in their right mind want a Winchester 1876 reproduction rifle in .45-60 or 45-75, when the .45-70 is better? Or how about an original 187...

336A

I remember hearing/reading that at some point in time the U.S. Army had contracted Roy Weatherby to build a super fast .22 center fire cartridge. I wonder if the cartridge in the OP could be linked to that research in any way?

336A

Me likey even though it does have those blasphemous grips on it :lol: I really wish some of the ol' sixguns that get posted here from time to time could talk. For their genre IMNHO the Colt SAA(though I cant speak for them as I've never held one, so I'm going off of heresay) and the S&W K 38 rep...

336A

KirkD just out of curiosity what revolver is the more accurate the S&W or the Colt?

336A

Shawn thank you for the polite offer. However since I just bought a much needed lawn tractor my fun $$ is no more :( So it will take me a considerable amount of time to even get a sustantial amount in the fun fund again. I didn't think that this topic would take off as much as it did. There are a lo...

336A

For those suggest the .357 I do realize that it is more versatile, however IMHO it would be to destructive to the pelts (coyote). The other draw back to the .357 is I don't much care for cleaning the nasty carbon ring left behind in the chamber from shooting the lesser cartridge. Aside from that as ...

336A

I was out walking the property today and sort of had myself an epiphany. I have been using my Henry a lot lately for this task but I'm always feeling I need something a little bit better. I've thought about either a Henry .22 magnum or a .357 Mag levergun. I ruled out the .22 mag as it is a little l...

336A

If I were able to afford one of these fine rifles I would get the 30-40 Krag hands down. I have always liked this cartridge since I was a little boy. When we visited my grandparents dad and gramps would eventually get on the subject of hunting which of course would lead to other shooting related sub...

336A

Those are some nice rigs folks. Don when the heck did elk start burrowing under tress :lol: Was it when you started letting loose on them with that there howitzer? :lol: Seriously though very nice elk and rifle you have there. Anyway I've got another question for you folks. On another board I saw a ...

336A

I'm starting this thread as I did not want to hijack Rangerider's thread below. I understand that cartridge belts make a whole lot of since to some here. But I would like to clarify upon my stance of cartridge belts. The reason that I posted that I don't see the point is due to me wearing my revolve...

336A

Wow that is a great picture thanks for posting. I have to agree with Kirk, those cartridges sure do look as though they are 45-60. I've always wondered if average folks back then actually used those cartridge belts when I see them in the Cabelas catalogs. I have always considered buying one but just...

336A

I prefer a deep western type holster for most of my sidearms as I want them protected from the elements and anything else, brush, rock, etc.. Same here however I could not find anything close for a DA revolver when I was looking for that type for my M10. So I went with the simply rugged as it came ...

336A

Wow, glad to hear that your friend and his family are ok. I can't believe that that miscreant was only charged with misdemeanors.

336A

By all acounts it sounds like it should have been more popular than it was. I know this may be saralige but how well does .38 WCF work with modern jacketed bullets?

336A

As I posted in the Guns Of the West thread I've always been interested with this cartridge. I don't know why I just am. I think it makes more sense than the 44-40 but of course that is just my personal preference. I know that it was in third place as far as sales of Colt SAA firearms go. However jus...

336A

Thinkin this one would go nice with my birdshead Ruger .32M:

Well gosh darn you have one heck of a great woods/finisher right there with your Ruger birdshead .32M kilkenny. No need to look any further IMHO.

336A

I guess that I will be the first to admit that I was more than a little miffed after I bought this magazine, and got time to sit down and actually read it. When I noticed that they were doing a piece on Billy the Kid's last revolver (Colt 1877 .41 LC) and Tom Horn's gun I had to get it. I was hoping...

336A

Gabby that is really nice, I wish that I was that talented.

336A

Telegraphist, I'm a fan of the 38 Special, too. It got a bad rap with the old 158gr. LRN police load, but with a 158 gr. LSWCHP, it's a good self-defense round. (4.5gr. of WW231 driving it.) Also a terrific target round, and I've shot it loaded down to only 3.1gr. of WW231 with no trouble. About as...

336A

BTW does anyone here have any first hand experience with 200gr ammunition in the .38 SPL?

336A

I saw this and could not help but giggle to myself

You have to hand it to these folks though they came up with a great reason for coming up with this name. Scroll to the bottom of the page to read about the name. BTW has anyone here used this ammo?

Sixgun, I have my late father's M58. When i saw these ads I wondered if they led to him making his purchase. I wish I could afford to buy one of the new S&W M58 classics. However it looks like I'aa just have to keep on wishing.

336A

If I could afford it I would really like to get one of the new S&W M58. Looks like I will just have to keep on wishing though

336A

Thought a few fellas' here would like these old posters.

In response to the other .44 comment.....I own a .44 levergun. I know what they can do. Past about 100-150 yards I wouldn't take a shot. In my case. Yes, i have cleared rooms for a living. WITH A TEAM. I am not stupid enough to do so alone except in absolute worst case no choice scenarios. But givi...

Hi Folks I hang on some forums that do the survival thing. Most of the time the talk for a bad times rifle goes the way of the AR-15 or AK-47. I have had both and lately I have been looking at levers for this role. Now please understand. I have a very different view from most of what I would do in ...

336A

Old NO7 that is a great looking litlle trail gun you have there. I really hope that some detailed range reports will follow soon :) IMHO the factor that really limited this cartridge from becoming more popular and a little more potent were the older and weak H&R firearms. I'm somewhat bewildered...

336A

I ordered this book last week from Amazon and all I can say is wow. The book is full of very good and and very practical information. Jim also tells of a few incidents that happened whle he was on the NYCPD elite Stake out Squad. I highly recommend this book to all.

336A

Hang in there sixgun. I know that if you are not accustomed to it that that seems like a lot of snow. It is even worse if the Highway Dept. is not fully prepared for removal as well. Not trying to be mean or anything but the wife and I just sit here and laugh about these so called "Big Ones&qu...

Just the basics for you shooter. I'm not asking the "if you were only limited to" question. But what I'm getting at is what are the most used cartridges by the members here.

336A

Ok it's time to get down to the brass tacks. Before I start I want to say that I'm no collector but I don't frown on those that are. I also don't frown upon folks that like a little variety either, different strokes for different folks is all. But I got to thinking the other day about when someone s...

Huh well what do you know, on the news tonight they showed a clip about a woman that found what she claims to be cougar tracks. The area is only about 15 miles from where I live which is the Thousand Islands region of upstate NY. Of course the DEC claim that there are no cougars here in NY despite t...

I've always looked for the 158gr LSWCHP's for my revolvers, but never found it on the store shelves where I live. Thought that was kinda strange, since they are so famous. I agree Paul, I haven't found 158 grn LSWCHP on a store shelf since the early 90s I think. Back then Winchester made them if I ...

First lion I shot was treed, at about 15 yards. Colt SAA in .357. (it was what i had...) One shot thru the chest/heart. Some guys I knew swore by their Colt or Ruger sixguns in .22 WMR. They got right up under treed cats and put one in the heart. Heart-shot cats almost always leap from their perch,...

I need to hear from folks here that have a good working knowledge about these animals. I've always considered these animals to be fairly thin skinned therefore they can be dispatched with most cartridges fairly decently. However recently I've been reading on other forums that in order to dispatch a ...
