Re: HOT DOG 338 Marlin Express for 2009

"HOT DOG" indeed. Now maybe the Marlin 336ER/356 Winchester will take a back seat to the new 338 Marlin Express reducing the demand thereby lowering the price. However, that still does not change the fact that only 2,441 336ER's were ever produced. There are fewer than that in circulation ...

Blaster; Great info. Thanks. Actually, I believe (I would have thought?) better ballistics are available with H-110. However, I do not have proof. Thought you might know as you seem well informed in this area. Grace and Peace. . Lets blow out the shoulder with a taper of .005" from base to sho...

Onty, After analyzing the case dimensions and ballistics, I agree with you. The 7.62 X 39 case will work the best only needing a chamber reamer. Several years ago I went through this same exercise trying to rechamber the 1894C / .357 mag to .357 Bain & Davis. It would require too many modificati...

.357 X 33mm KURZ

Onty, Great idea for a wildcat. When I converted the .357 Mag brass length of 1.290" to metric, it calculated out to 33mm and that rang a bell. I looked at the WWII German intermediate round, the 7.92X33 and the case is 1.299" in length...bingo. It is rimless with a base diameter of .470&q...

In 1985 I paid $200 for a new Marlin 336ER / .356 Winchester. In 1998, before the prices went through the roof, I sold it for $450 then commenced to pat myself on the back for being such a good gun trader. Well, as y'all know, Marlin only made 2,441 of them and now you can't touch one for less than ...

We Need Meat Cleaver Control.

What we need is "meat cleaver control". Today a Doctor was hacked to death with a meat cleaver by one of her patients. We also need sensable "foot stool control laws". Last year my 77 year old Uncle was beat to death with a foot stool by his neighbor. We also need sensable "...
