    Rogers and Spencer's revolvers

    Love, love, love my R&S revolvers. Can’t say that I find them ugly. Fully agree on how it feels in the hand and their accuracy, also with the conversion cylinder. My advice is to be very careful with the rotating retaining nut for the arbor. Replacements are not available and they are a bit...

    9.3x62 vs .375 h&h

    I like 375 Ruger. But it is definitely at, or perhaps beyond, my recoil limit. A classic rifle like the Model 70 in 375 H&H is very attractive; a mid-century icon. The current Model 70 Alaskan in 375 H&H is also a very classic rifle. Enjoy whichever you choose.

    Used Walnut and Corn Media??

    A question better asked here than of the EPA. The answer is “discretely”.

    Cougar kills young man in California

    It’s the Hungry Time. Spring ain’t sprung and animals are hungry. Big cats are more of a concern than black bear in my opinion. If you can’t carry a firearm, a big knife is better than a sharp stick. If you can carry a firearm, big holes exsanguinate faster than smaller holes.

    What's so special about a delta elite?

    “Delta Elite” I think that intends to say it all.:p Plus, wasn’t one in Miami Vice? Ergo….

    16ga ???

    It’s not the gun; it’s the payload. You can shoot 1oz loads in 12 or 20 ga. 20 ga 3” shell was unfortunately the end of the 16 ga. I say unfortunately because it meant the end of the lighter, smaller frame 20 ga. Now, most 20 ga are built to a similar weight as a 16 ga. I have a couple of 2...

    Colorado Weapons Ban

    I can name only two in the Senate who are not fundamentally opposed to RKBA: Tester (MT) and Manchin (WV). Neither could be characterized as defenders of RKBA but by the standards of their Party, they would be outliers. I can’t think of any Dem members of the House that would vote against the...

    Marlin experts needed- 336TS with 18.5" barrel and no cross bolt safety

    Now you’ve done it! The microgroove cast shooters are going to take issue! FWIW, in my experience, boolits at BHN 12 sized .310 for a 30-30 mg barrel and kept to 1500 fps or less shoot brilliantly. Faster than that yields diminishing accuracy. I have had no luck with hard cast in microgroove...

    Marlin experts needed- 336TS with 18.5" barrel and no cross bolt safety

    I’d pay that for a Texan. Mine is my second favorite levergun.

    Is it sacrilegious to bubba an early model Winchester 12?

    It’s your property to do with as you will. But there are a lot of knackered old Stevens 520/620 that would look great as a combat shotgun tribute and a fair number of people that would pay decent money to take a relatively unmolested Model 12 off your hands.

    Need starting load suggestions 454 Casull with powder coated lead 285gr FN-FB bullets.

    It’s like USD 72 down here, so while that price is unpleasant, it doesn’t seem irrational.

    Suppose I wanted to reload .410 shells…

    I would beg to differ with regards 410 shells needing any special attention. The 410 shell is the least in need of component column pressure and a simple overshot card held in place with waterglass is all that’s needed. However, you are correct in that one is almost certainly not going to find...

    454 the most versatile 45 caliber

    The H&R 45 Colt barrels are 1:16; throws some 325 grs very well and, at 454 velocities, they go some way. It’s not a hard job.

    Suppose I wanted to reload .410 shells…

    Absolutely true. My approach is in fact a guesstimate. But I am certain that pressures are lower with thin brass hulls and traditional card and wad components than with plastic hulls and modern plastic shot cups.

    Suppose I wanted to reload .410 shells…

    Unless you are intent on loading significant volume, and given your established familiarity with metallic reloading, I would skip plastic hulls and use brass. Your alternative options are: Magtech brass and Ballistic Products for oversize components (brass is thinner so needs wads and cards...

    454 the most versatile 45 caliber

    Yes, it is, although the Rossi is the only repeater in 454 that I’m aware of. The 45-70 is really in a different class given the weights it will throw. I get 2,250 fps from a 20” H&R Classic Carbine reamed to 454 with the Hornady 250 FTX, which would be the bullet to use in the Rossi. That’s...
