I bought a big jug of powder that says HODGDON UNIVERSAL CLAYS on it. In my load books I see data for UNIVERSAL and data for CLAYS. Then in a friends data book I see UNIVERSAL CLAYS. The data varies quite a bit. Is this 3 different powders or two powders, one of which goes by 2 names? I want to load...

I had a 200 gr FTX from the 356 Win expand in a coyote at close range. I've also had them separate jacket and core and have bits and pieces in TX whitetail deer. They worked for those purposes but that makes me skeptical for use on moose. I like the 250 gr Nosler Partition but it is a pointy bullet ...

86er

Everyone is going to have a preference but you KNOW I experiment thoroughly with everything. The AMERICAN BROADHEAD COMPANY "Sonic" is the best. The 100 gr original is my choice but they are all good. They fly exactly like your field tip. They cut on contact with 3 blades that are like lit...

When I was a kid we shot woodchucks at a place called Major Blossom Farms. The owner would skin the 'chucks and drop them in a big vat of boiling water for about 5 minutes. Then he put the whole carcass in a commercial grinder. Once the "chop meat" came out he put it in a dehydrator. What ...

I sent the whole rifle because Jesse agreed to shoot it to make sure the holes were round (no key-holing) and to check for acceptable accuracy ( we agreed on a certain group size as okay ). Fed Ex will insure it for just about as much as you want to pay for. Long guns come and go here on a weekly ba...

I'd cut the crescent stock to a flat butt and add a recoil pad. Other than that, I could live with it, although not ideal to me.

86er

I believe the twist rate is 1:14. I discussed it with Jesse and he and I agreed on what would meet my expectations. The 30-30 brass seems to need the most trimming, and sometimes after each firing. 32 Spl, trimmed once prior to initial sizing seems to go 3 or 4 reloads without need for further trimm...

I have one on my Henry lever action. JES did the work and I chose a 3 groove rifling. I have used 30/30, 32 Spl and 38-55 brass. My dies are from Redding and they work great. Trimming the brass is very important. The powder I like is Benchmark with 34 grain being great for about anything 200 grains ...

Just get the 325 WSM and call it a day....

Uh - I got a 360DW that looks very similar ballistically and it works just fine. .360 diameter, 185 grain, 1800 fps. Hmmm - you shouldn't have any worries.

Many prayers for this sad situation.

I owned a 1950 Model 94 Winchester for a while but never shot it. The sights were hard to see on paper targets and the clattering of the lever made me uneasy about the whole thing. I never shot it and gave it to my Dad. I began looking for an 1886 High Grade EL on the internet. There was one in Cupe...

You guys work fast. The ordeal for 2/26 has been cancelled. I don't know where this will take us, but I hope for the best. God is working one little miracle at a time. I am relying on his guidance and walking in his light. Thank you for the continued prayers, we're gonna need them.

Brothers and Sisters - Tomorrow is an event that will be life-changing, at least on a temporary basis (up to 6 months). It may result in a permanent life change for us all. I ask you to pray that I am protected and get through it with the best interest of my family in mind. I feel better than I took...

Friends - I have seen God work with my family. I am not sure how this is going to go but I have seen some real moments where a prayer was answered. There's nothing particular pending in the next few weeks, but I just feel the time is right to ask Him to guide us together in the right direction. Plea...

I use front R pocket for a hammerless J-Frame no holster, but that is not my only handgun when I do. If I have a winter jacket I keep it in the R pocket. For a holster, the DOUBLETAP A.T.S. holster is fantastic. (armoredcarry.com) You can tuck it, the clip stays in place and it is secure. The revolv...

I didnt say I prefered the non-locking safety, I just said there are reasons that being able to have the safety on when operating the bolt could be a good idea. If I know the system and am comfortable with it, I really don't have a preference. But, I don't sling a rifle with a cartridge chambered an...

If you can stand the green/black textured stock, the Savage Hog Hunter comes in 308, threaded, heavy barrel, 20 or 22" and the few I've used were MOA accurate. Smooth action and tang safety too.

86er

There should be a numeric and alpha code stamped on the box tab(s) or on the side. If you provide the code, I can tell you the Month, Year, Production Line and sometimes another factor.

86er

There's a couple of things to consider. The early rifles require the saftey to be put "off" in order to open the bolt. Starting in approximately 1981 this was changed and the bolt can be opened with the safety "on" even though it is still a 2 position safety. There was a recall i...

I have a 1886 EL High-Grade. The hammer has been altered to remove the rebounding feature and the trigger pull adjusted. It has an XS rear ghost ring sight saddled over the action, an XS white stripe front sight, a Wild West scout scope mount, Kick-eez recoil pad and sling. I had a cheek riser tempo...

Nice rifles and an interesting event. I enjoy shooting a .50 cal BP rifle I made a few years ago. I typically shoot conical or sabot bullets for ease, but I have recently shot some patched round balls at targets and found it to be really accurate and pretty cool. Nice shooting there.

What's this topic about? Handloader Magazine? Wrestling? Offense posts? Ah, crud. I can't keep up with it. Where's the gun stuff?

I'm late in replying, sorry. I picked up a well used Charter Arms from 1980. I sent it back to the new Charter Arms. For $49 they put a new hammer, trigger, springs, crane, release latch and throated cylinders. I put 500 rounds of Grizzly Cartridge ammo through it (heavy stuff) and it was accurate, ...

I'm proud of Henry Repeating Arms for this donation. I also appreciate the fine engravers in Trumbull, CT that worked on the rifle and the High Bidder - who wishes to remain anonymous. The National Shooting Sports Foundation is the main benefactor of the proceeds. One day (in the distant future) whe...

I have an OM Security Six that I gave to my Dad. It is a very smooth, reliable and accurate revolver. I've also used the GPNY (3" DA- 38 Spl) quite a bit and it is heavy but also very nice. I do like the rubber grips with the wood insert and the way they are one piece and slide on to the frame....

86er

The Charter Arms have a lifetime warranty. If you send one back for inspection and upgrades, for $45 they will make it perfect. I would suggest something hammerless if you're (or he's) going to throw it in a pocket or glove box.

Guys and Gals - With my deepest sincerity and respect I appreciate your wishes. Today was cancelled due to unforeseeable circumstances.

Great cartridge. The conversion cost $225 from Jesse. Die are Redding custom ordered from Midway and cost $109. 38-55 brass is easiest to form, one pass through dies with never a problem. 32 Special might lose 1 out of 12 pieces due to crushing. New 30-30 is the worst but twice fired or fireformed c...

Thanks for the support. There have been a few glimmers of hope, but overall the situation does not look good. Definitely need the power of prayer. I was praying for guidance and strength but now I pray for a miracle. If you can spare a moment to pray for us I sure do appreciate it!

Thanks

Fantastic Mike! It looks like you did your homework and did it well. Your rifle pre-dates mine by 12 years but is a close relative nonetheless so I appreciate the fine handling, quality build and smooth action that you now cherish. That's a beautiful buck too, nice character. Several blessings, you ...

It'll cost you about the same when all is said and done to replace it with a new one. You may find a used one in similar condition for somewhat less, some day. If you're just not going to miss it and could use the funds to find something else fun, or necessary then a sale seems logical. Sentimental ...

Prayers up for his family. I am obsessive about using a harness going up or down. I owe it to my family to hunt safely. I worry about my little guys and don't let them in tree stands yet (no harness is quite small enough to support them properly). This is a sad tragedy. I hope somehow his legacy is ...
