    22 blanks from the hardware store

    The work great in an adapter (Hammond game getter) for my 45-70. Shoots round or swedged lead balls from "you can follow the ballistic arc or the bullet to the target" to driving a regular lead ball on through a pressure treated 2x8 plank. Just pick the strength... I use the #3's mostly...

    RIP Major Dick Winters (caution: Garand content)

    He was issued a Garand, he shot a Garand, was a true HERO with a Garand (to satisfy the silly "on topic" touchy feelie stuff). A truly sad day indeed, Rest in Peace Major Winters and thank you and all veterans for your service, sacrifice and patriotism. You are revered and will be remembered...

    What is wrong with Amerc brass?

    The only problem I have with AMERC brass (I have it in 44 mag) is they crack at the mouth.... After 10 - 14 loadings (;->) I wish I had a bunch more of it. It ain't the greatest but the case life certainly is fine and I crimp the crap out of it for my 44 carbine. I don't sell Amerc in the...

    879-Lb bear taken in Pennsylvania

    I doubt that there is even ONE hunter here that would have passed up that bear if it was in your range of shot. A bear in the wild, shot in season...

    Gun Broker and other internet auctions safe?

    100+ deals and all but 1 was good. The bad one was a tool that wanted me to ship hi cap ar mags to Ca. and left me negative feedback because I wouldn't violate law (even though my ad said NO SHIPPING to Ca and a host of other places). I have scored some FANTASTIC deals on rifles and some on...

    270 versus 30.06

    The 270 is a mere shadow of the majesty that is embodied in the 30-06 (;->)

    Chocolate and peanut butter: Leupold FX-II 2.5x20mm and lever guns.

    Geezer: I agree with you completely and have the same setup. The only possible thing I'd like to see Leupold do is a 4x version in the same size format... Be safe and enjoy Patty

    Best scope specs for 30-30

    Scope 4 336... A 3-9 variable on a 336, to me anyway is pretty big and bulky. I like to keep it lean and simple, a straight 4x or low power variable (just cuz it was sitting on the shelf)... Shorty: Marvin the wonder rifle: To me a big part of the attraction of a 336 is it is a easy to...

    First rifle help

    A bit of looking around will likely net you your first 2 rifles for that budget. I strongly recommend a basic bolt action 22 for a first gun. Semi auto is fine and dandy but I believe you will burn ammo at a excessive rate where as the bolt gun will 'prolly see you actually focusing on accuracy...

    Lever Gun.... .357 or .44 ?

    357 is fun but the 44 is more funner... I love my 1894ss 44 mag!

    16inch 30-30 barrel.

    Hey there Nem... I know you are a pretty long way off but were you in these parts you'd be welcome to try Shorty out. I stumbled on the deal when looking for a basic stainless 336 and was shocked when the pair sold so cheaply. I had (and still do) thought about chopping a few inchs off ol'...

    16inch 30-30 barrel.

    Short 336... My take on this is disregard the hooey about muzzle blast (I don't even notice it at all), disregard the small velocity loss, if you like handy handling in a rifle, go for it either by cut or OEM. For example: Take this: Load up some 170gr bulllets (170gr Win over 29.0gr H4895...

    .22 lr dud question

    Clean the rifle a good one, the bolt too, examine the firing pin for a flattened spot from dry firing (are the misfires having a light strike or a nice deep impression?), perhaps replace the FP spring. I collect the 22's I find at the range on the ground (quite literally thousands over a year)...
