I can deal with preachin, spent several years in the pulpit myself. If ya got a good message put it out htere

Where did you land In NM. ?

gon2shoot, I agree, I like to learn as much as I can. I read the Marlin questions most, as I don't know about them the way I know my way around a 94 Winch. I also like to learn about some of the more esoteric leverguns, ones that I've heard about, may even have seen, but am really clueless as to ho...

gon2shoot

Paul, is right! Police yourself No one wants to see that stuff on thier monitor 1 hour at a mall will give you a months fill of that stuff Sorry if I did'nt make myself clear. Im talking about the respect that Leverguns has as a knowledgeable site, and the loss of good folks over "non gun topi...

gon2shoot

Everything I own is an "assualt" weapon if need be, from my 30-30 to my morning news paper

gon2shoot

is, there is way too much knowledge here to let go to waste. I understand that in a election year, and with the tension about our rights keeping everyone uptight, we tend to focus on these things. We have lost some good folks over things that would have been laughed off at other times, the truth is,...

gon2shoot

Done.
Pass along our best wishes also.

gon2shoot

Well, as you can see, "the best" is whatever you prefer. :D Reloading is like guns, just depends on what works for you. You can spend a ton of cash or a few bucks and still end up with loaded ammo. I have some high-dollar stuff but still use the single stage or even a hand press a lot. I p...

gon2shoot

I can't spell that other word, I think its a bottle opener.

gon2shoot

I load for the 40 Smiff, but mine is a 6 banger so I have a few more liberties. I settled on using Unique.

gon2shoot

I've got some loaded, with and without, but havent had a chance to shoot any yet.
Hope to get a chance to try them out soon.

gon2shoot

Way to go gunny!
So, now are you one of those old pharts that you used to cuss?

gon2shoot

I think Jim T pretty well covered it. I've hunted for years (not so much now that the eyes are are going) with a SBH. I also use a BH 357 or 45 depending on game. The thing I've found is find a gun you like, find a load that works, and shoot it, shoot it a lot. When I was younger and had more time f...

gon2shoot

Any of them would be money well spent.......................but, if you aint got a 92 in 45 colt, well you owe it to yourself.

gon2shoot

The only time I ever had a problem was when my SBH got throwed off a horse in the rocks, still in the holster

gon2shoot

I bought a 336 that had been sitting a long time.
First time out I had couple light strikes, checking the pin I found it to be pretty stiff so I cleaned it with spray cleaner.
I haven't had it out again but, I can feel by finger pressure that it's moving more freely.

gon2shoot

It don't get much better than that.

gon2shoot

Yep, what Joe said.
Rugers have a rep for having undersized chambers.

gon2shoot

jmiller, Its hard to find a commerically cast bullet without the "woodpecker lip" problem. I have a 255 gr. mould that looks a lot like your dream bullet, but you're not looking to roll yer own yet. You might try Tennesse Valley bullets, I haven't tried any of his but he has a good rep, an...

gon2shoot

I remember when I first started driving (leagally) in N.M.. The stations were having gas wars -remember them?- and gas was 6.9 cents for a while. I think normal price was around 12 cents. I was cutting firewood for spending money then, $20 a cord delivered :roll: My old 57 pu didn't get very good mi...

gon2shoot

Is that kinda like having the blue wore off your trigger guard?

gon2shoot

Just talked to a friend who said he bought a Pedersoli rolling block; it's marked 1878 with an RD or RO. It's got a 30" bbl. He was wanting to know what to shoot through it. I'm not too sharp on Pedersoli's. Can anyone enlighten me? I told him to stick to trapdoor loads till I could get some in...

gon2shoot

If you use liquid Alox, a light dusting will keep them from being sticky.

gon2shoot

Outstanding, good score.

gon2shoot

+1 to the above.
Slug your bore, bullet fit will help much more than hardness in reducing leading.
I run about 1350 fps. because thats what works in my gun.

gon2shoot

I beat the draft 30+ years ago by signing up. I did it because I believed freedom was at stake; not for me, but those who were being overrun by the communist ideaology. Through Laos and Cambodia I saw many, many people who were just trying to survive without any thought of trying to resist. We burie...

gon2shoot

Thats sure a purty gun but, I think ya need to quit taking pictures and feed your dog.

gon2shoot

Got an invite to try a new area this morning, seems the garden is getting some free tilling

gon2shoot

Good enough. Seems it shoots minute of pizza.

gon2shoot

You left out the Marlin 1895

gon2shoot

Well Joe, you never cease to amaze me. First 30-30? Who knew?
You're gonna find a whole new world of fun shootin. Next you'll be wantin a 35.

gon2shoot

Yep, my eyes went from eagle to beagle in the past 10-12 years. Reciever sights help

gon2shoot

Night shooting yotes off the cotton fields proved that a 240gr over a healthy load of 2400 will stopem where they stand with a solid hit,
Best question is, how far can you see?

gon2shoot

Ben, should have been a drool warning on that Pearson. Nice piece.

gon2shoot

I prefer the Ruger SBH, but, I've been shooting them for over 30 years.
Find somplace you can handle different guns and get what fits.

gon2shoot

Ain't that the way it's supposed to work?

gon2shoot

Building some loads for my yet unfired (by me) 336, I find that very few bullets have a factory crimp groove that dont leave a pretty good "jump" distance. I generally try for 10/15 thou., but I see a lot of loads for 375 handgun bullets which are pretty short, and the jacketed bullets I'v...

gon2shoot

Joe, somehow you're gonna have to get back to the sagebrush. You may need to provide cover for JREED as he makes a hasty retreat from the left coast.

gon2shoot

That sir, is a fine lookin piece. It's not shootin high, you're just standin waaaaay to close

As mentioned before I encourage a try with hollow base bullets and H4198.

gon2shoot

Continue to make time for them, and they will be too.

gon2shoot

I saw one at Gibsons this morning.
It looked like a Win., angle eject, tang safety.
I wasn't impressed, but I have Win. & Marlins in 30-30, but all in all it isn't a bad looking gun.

Maybe sombody will buy one and offer a range report.

You are taking a little bit of friendly banter way too personal.

Maybe you should switch to boxers...

Nope, no boxers for me, don't like feeling bound up. I hear it makes you pessimistic and cynical

gon2shoot

Yes I'm aware snakes don't carry rabies, poorly worded on my part. And I know infestations of rabies rise and fall in fairly predictable patterns. And rabies are a constant the area. What I was commenting on, were the the observations I have personally made, plus local reports, thinking it might be ...

gon2shoot

Maybe so fellas, but I'm out in the brush daily and have seen a lot more suspicious looking critters than normal. There has also been several, more than 15 IIRC, confirmed cases in the local area in the last few weeks. True, rabies has always been a fact of life, and I would not have bothered to com...

gon2shoot

Running a line across a ranch just west of Ft. Worth and came across 2 rattlers and a skunk that I was 99% sure was infected, (all were rendered inoperative.) Wild-life officals wouldn't respond because it was private property, but they told me that rabies were "rapidly expanding" in the a...

gon2shoot

Yep, gotta be carefull what we teach em

gon2shoot

Gee thanks.
I had mystery meat and beans.

gon2shoot

Nice set up, it keeps them from tipping completly over it ya drop them.

best of luck.

gon2shoot

I show up at work about 30 min before sun-up and do paperwork for awhile before the contractors hands show up.
there are 3 gooblers (1 jake) and 5 hens that come by every morning within 100 ft.
One hen comes by my truck for her granola bar snack, and I can't shoot any of them.
It sucks to be me.

gon2shoot

Now thats just a purty gun, if you can just figure some way to get the shiney stuff off it so it can go hunting.

gon2shoot

Lunch you bet.
Went to Boo Rays today on 180 just off 30, ate gator till I couldn't breath.
