ARE YOU ALONE FOR THE HOLIDAYS 2014
This is my 10th year of this offer. If you will be alone for Thanksgiving, Christmas or New Years (or any seasonal holidays - Hannukah - it doesn't matter what denomination) you are welcome in my home. Come spend a few days with my family and I for food, companionship and celebration. There is no co...

Re: 35/30-30 Loading Dies?
Wow - I purchased the Redding dies from Midway one year ago for $109. $71 increase? Can't see the reason for it... When I first started loading these I'd just size with a 32 WS die, fire-form with 6gr Unique and toilet paper, use a 357 Mag cut in half to touch the neck, trim and load. Most of the ca...

Re: 35/30-30 Loading Dies?
Mine are Redding. MidwayUSA sells them. They form any 30-30, 32WS or 375 to the proper brass with one pass. You do need to trim brass though. 375's seem to give the best performance with the other two being a tie.

Re: Savage 5100 sxs to cut down?
That shotgun is regulated with a barrel wedge that is part of the rib assembly. Cutting it can make your patterns shoot - well - wherever. The full choke can easily be opened so using steel shot is not a problem. There are also options such as bismuth that are non-toxic and will work from full choke...

Re: Choose one rifle for me to carry on extended backpack tr
I'd opt for a carbine sized 357 magnum with a short stock. The Win 94 or 92, or Rossi/Puma with 16" bbl would do it. A TD '92 would be very cool, but not accessible for any kind of defense if apart.

I have little experience with 44/40 on game but have seen some. Most were factory ammo that was 200 grain bullet and around 1140 fps. I imagine it gets more out of a rifle. One handloader had 240 grain bullets going 1300 fps. Now, neither is anything to sneeze at but in my limited observations they ...
