? How to slug?

I'd like to slug one of my rifles and one of my six guns -- I've seen it mentioned 100 times here, but never seen a detailed description of how to do it.

Re: Wow!! The price I just paid for some ammo.

Thanks! Great info. I'll have to get my Model 12 fixed (screwed up the ejector shooting express loads!).

I'm thinking I have to look into reloading these shotgun shells - the prices are getting rediculous.

Re: Where have all the 30/30's gone?

I've got 2 I've enjoyed since day 1...

1 grandfather left me a 99 is 303 Savage - about as close to 30/30 as you can get I suppose... I'll count it. Shoots as steady as I can hold it.

1 grandfather gave me his 336 Marlin in 30/30 (tack driver).

MOVIES - Aces -n- Eights

I just watched this movie -- picked it up at Blockbuster. It's a rental only (i.e. it never made it to the big screen).

Not the best -- but if you have 2 hrs. to spend and your standards aren't too high -- it's worth it.

Not much a plot - but lots of lever and SAA shootin'.
