Merry Christmas! to all THR members and viewers. I would like to hear of special christmas memories involving first firearms, bb guns etc. I remember one year maybe 1964 or so I got a plastic rifle that looked just like an M-14 and it shot plastic bullets that were spring loaded in a plastic...

Thanks Stretch,I'm not a fast typer and it seems my posts expire before I post them.I'll try to respond again later

Take a 10 guage double, load it with 3 1/2 inch magnums and pull both barrels!That will also give you an idea of a large powerful rifle! And ammo is not as expensive.

Thanks again for respones fellow members, the more info the better.As was suggested by a fellow member I was looking in a reloading manual and IMR4064 looked nice for both cartridges,What is your opinion?

Thanks for the response fellow members.I was under the impression you had to full length resize for a lever or auto,but I'll have to look more into neck sizing as I dont have any other rifles in these calibers as yet.Great pics Stretch! Good luck on your next 99. Thanks.M.C.

I have a 20's vintage .300 and a 60's vintage .308 I sure would like to hear from some 99 shooters about best powders and velocity(pressure) levels the action works best with as well as what powder works good in both cartridges.Also add your thoughts on 99 and its appeal in either caliber...

keeping it real the reality is that there are dan- few marksmen in this country anymore that can accurately shoot a '06 class cartridge offhand at 50 yards let alone 100 to 150 yds. It would seem to me with the improvements in bullet construction in the last 100 years the 30/06 would be more...

hoppe's great stuff, but be real careful not to leave a nickel plated firearm soaking in it. I was educated on its copper solvent qualities on my first handgun, a 8 3/8 inch nickel model 57 and I paid a good price for my education.

overpenetration The faster you drive an expanding bullet, the faster it stops from expansion

just a thought Call up Cone-trol down in Seguin TX. If old George Miller is still around he'll be the one to pick up the phone.I bet he could recommend someone at least in TX.

damage done I came across this thread this a.m. and as I'm typing this I still after 35 years have a ringing caused by my first encounter with the .44 Magnum.A freind had just purchased a Ruger SBH and I was asked if I wanted to shoot it.I did and have been paying for it all these years.Your...

300 grain jacketed loads Does anyone have any experience with 300 grain jacketed bullet loads in a Ruger.44 Carbine? I don't have a chronograph and I would be appreciative of any feedback on this rifle with either factory or handloads of 300 grains. Thanks

Has anyone chronographed any 300 grain jacketed .44 mag loads out of a ruger .44 Carbine?

45/70 or .223 the 45/70 was one of the first varmint rifles-Pick your varmint.

45/70 or .223 There is no substute for accuracy-there is no substitute for cubic inches. I hope that helps

Beautiful rifles!

shortage of .22 ammo wouldn't it be nice for some green thinking person to find a way to use waste plastic for ammo-we would be in good shape.-here's hoping

First post for me -interested in the feedback.
