That is almost a scarry

statement on your part because that is exactly where I was at.

Thanks for all of the replys. I do love my 30-30 for deer hunting. I have lots of different calibers
I could use, but for some reason I grab the 30-30 every time. I dont know why it just seems like the right thing to shoot a deer with.

Thanks again.

Went out over the weekend in Northern Michigan for an early antlerless hunt. Sunday morning I shot on a nice size doe. I was using a Marlin 336 ss in the grand ol 30-30win, with a leopold 3x9 scope. Shot was taken at appx 50 yds in a hay field. I screwed up a bit because this gun is sighted in to sh...

I always use dielectric grease between the boot and the spark plug. This is mainly for keeping the moisture out of the contact area. Another tip is to always use Anti Seize on the threads of the new spark plug. This will aid in keeping it from becoming frozen in the threads of the head. Trust me on ...

For my 30-30 loads I use 150 Grain Winchester bullets. Set to an overall length of 2.555 and have never had a problem.
I also use 31 grains of IMR 3031 which makes for a real nice shooting bullet. Along with CCI benchrest primers.

The reason the world is running out of lead is because I got it all.

I have it stored it nice shiny brass cases.

I have lots of different calibers I can shoot/hunt with. But my go to deer rifle is a Marlin 336ss. With a Leopold VX3 3x9x40 scope. This gun is very very very accurate with this setup. The last deer I shot with it died right where I shot him at. Not one step more. If I had to get rid of all my guns...

Cool mug, thats the mug I need for work. I am sure I would get some strange looks carrying that
mug around the shop.

win38-55

Topside. What kind of ammo are you loading with the press?

win38-55

Lee Equipment is really great stuff. ESP the Lee Classic turret. This press can just about keep up with a
Dillon 550 and it even advances by itself. what more could a reloader want in a press.
For loading pistol rounds you will never need another press. Glad to hear you like it.

Nice photo. Thanks for sharing, I have never seen that one before.

Nice Rifle for under 600. I do not have any black rifles, one day I will probably buy one.
The only rifle I have like that is this, in 7.63x39 with a 40 round mag.
She shoots real nice and sprays steel core bullets like there is no tommorow.

win38-55

I have a Savage 110 in .300 Win Mag. With a very cheap Simmons scope mounted to
it. This gun will shoot less than 1 inch groups at 100.

Them 110's are really accuracte rifles.

That was really a good performance you should be very proud of her.
Nicely done. Thanks for posting.

I like the Lee Reloading Manual. For a good general manual I do not think there is
no better. The Hornady Manual works good also if you shoot Hornady bullets.

That looks like he had a great time. I am sure he will remember that first event forever.

I was always wondering if one of those single point slings would work on my trapper.
Anyone here use one of the newer single points out there?

Here are some deer pics that I took at our place up in Northern Michigan. The Dead one is the one I shot last year with my Marlin 336ss in 30-30-win. It is amazing that the old dirty thirty is still capable of killing deer since they have been recently modified not to die with such bullets. :twisted:

win38-55

I use the Lee Universal case expanding die. Works like a charm on cast lead loads.
I actually had to use it tonight on some tight fitting nickle .300 Win mag cases.
Works good with all calibers. Here are the .300 rounds that I used it on tonight.

From a personal experience, shooting at Ice in a lake is a really bad idea. I once had a 22 Long Rifle round fired from a Ruger 10/22 come straight back at me with incredible velocity. I think it missed my head by about an inch. :shock: Things to put in the old memory bank, Do not shoot at ice dummy...

I have 4 Mosin Nagant rifle's in my collection and I would shoot anyone of them at any time.
They are very fun to shoot and the price is not bad either. Plus you can actually shoot real
centerfire cartridges for less than .17 cents each that in itself is a reason to go blow off some rounds.

win38-55

I personally like the 44 Mag for it's wide range of use. You can go target shooting with it if you load em down a bit. You can hunt Whitetail Deer with it, You can even use it for Bear defense in the wild's. not to mention it is just one of those Caliber's every gun guy should own at least one. Here...

What a bunch of knuckle heads on both sides. The one doing the chaseing, in my neck of the woods probably
would have been shot. The Idiot pulling the gun out is defiently out of control also.
Looks to me both partys here are at fault.

Sounds as if you are eating better alone, than with the family. Funny how that works.

That is a very nice looking rifle rack. Thanks for posting pics. Looks like you are a Carpenter now.

Looks good keep going with it.

Don't do it you are wrecking a fine firearm. Go buy a pistol and wear it if you need a
truck gun. Please dont do it, Save the firearm.

170 Grain Core locs for this Deer Hunter. Usually drops Whitetail dead in there tracks.
Last 2 deer I shot dropped with 1 foot from where I shot em.

win38-55

Looks good so far. Here is a site you might be able to come up with some kind of idea on what to do
next. I built one of there racks in an afternoon and it came out great. I started using it at deer camp to hold everyone's guns.

I have a model 1936 in 30-30. I was just wondering what the stamp on the
barrel of your rifle says, Mine says model 36 rc. A pic would be nice if possible.
I think my barrel might have been changed at one time. I am not sure.

Get a Single Stage to learn the basics on. It is not money wasted, even if you decide to move
to a progressive latter on. you can always use the single stage for other things such as a Decapping station
or even a lube sizer. Start with the basics.

win38-55

If you are looking to do occasional once or twice a week shooting, a single stage will do it. There should be no reason that you could not load at least 100-200 rounds of ammo in a few hours on a single stage. I have two presses one is a lee classic cast that I use for loading rifle rounds with. The...

I do not personally own any Hornady reloading equipment. So I cannot really say anything about that. I think the best possible press to learn on would be a Lee Classic Cast. Or if you were going to do alot of pistol shooting a Lee classic turret press 4 hole. I like the Lee reloading stuff for newbi...

I think I am going to finally try my hand at bullet casting. I have decided to load for my 44 Mag. I was just wondering what everyones thoughts are on the Lee 6 Cavity molds?

I put a Leopold VX III 3x9x40 on my Marlin 336 SS. Some would say it is way too much scope. But not for me this gun shoots 3/4 inch groups at 100 until the barrel heats up. When I hunt with it in deep woods I just crank the power down to 3. If I had to put another scope on one of my 30-30's it would...

Sadly, most of the gun shows around here are exactly that. When I can go to the local gun store and get
