"Single shot" weapons have probably killed more deet at 150 yards or less than any other...IMO. Bows and muzzle loaders usually have extra seasons as well. I have killed more deer with my .50 cal front stuffer than with my .300 Win Mag or my .44 lever action. (No luck with my bow yet....ha...

I'm glad to hear others have had ggod service with this company. I was very happy with how they have resolved this.

I ordered a Lee Loader from Natchez Shooters Supplies, located in Chattanooga, TN. When it arrived today, I opened the package with child like glee and felt like a kid on Christmas Day. I was immediately disappointed when I opened the case and found that the powder measure was conspicuously absent. ...

Rob, I am glad you shared those two very personal stories. They were touching and you have a way of writing that made me feel connected to the story. Thanks for taking the time to compose them.

I enjoyed the section that covered weapons... "The weapon-smiths at Zombie Tools have created several highly effective weapons which can be employed by any person of virtually any strength. Small weapons, such as the Zack Ax or the new Para Bellum are highly effective as secondary bladed weapon...

I bought some 1/2 inch lead egg sinkers to slug the barrels of my .44 mag pistol and rifle. The reloading guru-guy who is going to help me said he wanted to slug the cylinder bores as well. Waste of time and effort or good idea?

I have to wait for the case to be settled to comment, and for the suspect to have no opportunity for appeal, but I may be named in a suit where the suspect pointed a weapon at an officer...the officer drew and fired as I arrived. The suspect went down and I cuffed the guy. Even though I did NOT FIRE...

When I hunt with a shotgun I use a 12 gauge New England Firearms Pardner-Model SBI singleshot with 3 1/2" full choke. Case color hardened receiver. It was an inexpensive firearm, but the buttstock has wonderful "tiger" striping throughout that has depth and changes color as you turn i...

What made it good? Where did it come from? Homemade? Store bought? Kentucky Fried Chicken brand? Bojangles brand? I make some with "extra" sharp Wisconsin Cheddar cheese. After mixing it up I put bread crumbs on top then bake. I have also used applewood smoked gouda...Mmmmmmm. Anyway... WH...

I made it recently. I'm not of German heritage, but the meal looked good.

I've enjoyed knowing her son. You have been kind to me and have shared your knowledge. She apparently passed on her love of the unkown and the outdoors to you. I'm truly sorry and I will pray for you and your family.

Thanks for the responses. I am going to morrow, Wednesday, to get the Walmart brand which is Presto. I called around the city and cannot find an All American...it is not to be had aparently.

I think I am about to lose "man points" for this post, but I want some advice about pressure cookers. I hunt and I use every bit of the meat. Roasts, jerky and ground leftover bits mostly and I put the majority in a chest freezer (though the jerky does not make it that long). Does anyone h...

For weather proofing "an old woods holster" or one that will experience "total immersion in water" (kayaking) I have read that dipping the entire holster in a bath of melted parafin will work. Have not done this. Just something I read. Not reccomended for quality leather. Thoughts?

Iron_Marshal

fordwannabe, Thanks for the offer to send some bullets! I am familiar with slugging a barrel but I never thought about the compatibility problems between rifle and pistol. I will slub the barrels soon, before I start loading. Would you reccomend buying jacketed bullets to start?

Iron_Marshal

But what about cheek weld? I like to stay low on the butt stock.

Iron_Marshal

OK...So I don't NEED 300gr bullet in the .44 mag. Perhaps I was overly wowed by commercial wording promising terminal performance from the heavier round. I am glad you all have pointed out that the 240 gr is all I need. I should have seen this for myself. I use Federal Match Grade 168 gr BTHP in the...

I first saw the Marbles sight on one of Doc AJ's other posts. If I remember correctly he mounted one on his daughter's rifle. I wonder if they ever experienced any problems with the larger sight snagging on anything? It seems as if accuracy may suffer due to the shortened sight length, compared to a...

Iron_Marshal

JohndeFresno, If I understand what you have listed, 17.1-18.5 of 2400, with a Speer Mag SP 300 gr will be within safe tolerances in the rifle. Since the Lee Loader dipper "throws" 17.5 it should be safe for both? ( I know...check...check...re-check...LOL) What about overall case length? I ...

This is just GREAT info. Of course I will double check...triple check...quadruple check...adnauseum, the information provided, but MY GOSH it is so nice of you all to post such indepth and thoughtful research. I guess I am just used to the "real" world being rushed and rude with no time fo...

Well, I do not feel I came on here posting as a "wise-@$$" but I have been accused of that in the past. I came here looking for loading info. I do not even have the Lee Loader yet. It won’t even ship until tomorrow. I wanted to know what loads have been worked up by other posters that will...

Are you telling me that pictures of dead varmints were DELETED? Ummmm... WHY I used to see all manner of pics of dead deer and hog on this sight.

I sold an AMT .380 DAO backup and have a few dollars in my pocket. I am looking to buy a peep sight for my Marlin 1894SS. Any suggestions? Ease of instalation is high on my list.

Iron_Marshal

Thanks for all of the good advice! I don’t even have the Lee Loader yet, but its paid for and ships on Monday. I hope I did not give the impression that I was just going to start throwing powder and primers around the second it arrives. I just wanted to get experienced opinions and advice from those...

Iron_Marshal

From what I've read, "those dippers" are very accurate with certain powders. #2400 powder, from what I've read and been told by veteran handloaders, is very consistent.

Yes...No...?

I am just a sponge soaking up the knowledge.

AJMD429, Thank you! This is EXACTLY the kind of info I was after. "I have had a Marlin 1894 and Super Blackhawk since the 1970's, and haven't blown them up yet..." My pair is a Marlin 1894SS and a Ruger Redhawk, but I don't plan to overload a thing. "I like 'simplicity' (i.e. the 'one...

Out of necessity, since I did not own any pistols other than my duty weapons over the years, I have often carried my Sig Sauers both in 9mm and .45 with me into the woods. The way I saw it, it was better to have ANY pistol than NO pistol. When I went hunting deer, turkey, rabbit, or squirrel I used ...

I have had some good advice (from more than cops…LOL) about a “recipe” that should work well. AGAIN, I reiterate, I am not looking for a dangerous grizzly load.
