Cosmoline, Can you tell me anything about the scabbard with the straps for carrying on your back? Brand? cost or where it might be purchased? I've been looking for something like that (preferably in leather but would consider anything). Thanks Sportsman Guide has one in leather for $45 http://www.s...

"New levergun for wife?"

Is that a trade offer? Don't need another wife, but a new levergun would be nice. I'll check with my wife to see if she's willing.

I'm pretty happy here in VA. The only thing I don't like is the one gun a month law (for handguns). I can't keep up with it. :lol: (not that I don't try!) Actually with the CHP, one can buy more than one handgun a month. Yes I have done that... +1 for Virginia. It's also on the forefront of open ca...

IANATP, but from my own personal experience, here are some ideas that may help.

Got it ... you just have to recognize the pattern. Think checkers.

[For those of you who really want the pattern, take 59403559607059 and multiply it by 6. That will give you a 15-digit number that represents the 15 steps it takes, with the seven positions numbered from left to right.]

Joe, the batteries for the D60 should be rechargeable. Didn't it come with a charger? OK, if you have the automatic modes down, and want to take the next step. I would start with "Aperture-priority". It is the single best thing to make your pictures "pop". Basically, aperture pri...

alnitak

OK, now I get what you're after. The easiest answer is to turn the dial on top to the little rectangle picture -- that is full-auto mode. Then turn on the camera and take a picture (BTW, if there's a AF/MF switch on the lens, make sure it's on AF). Don't forget to turn the dial to ISO and set your f...

Now I understand:

HEEL-TYPE BULLET - A bullet with rear section of reduced diameter; so when loaded, the front portion is flush with the case.

Thanks for the clarification, Hobie. Never having loaded .22s, I didn't realize there was a difference in the bullet shape (is that what 'heeled' means?), one that would prevent the bullet from seating more deeply.

How do you jam the bullets of your ammo down in the case simply feeding it through your firearms. I've not experienced that with semi-auto guns (and certainly not with levers, pumps, or revolvers).

It should not raise pressures even though the length is shorter because the base of the bullet is not moving backward into the powder. It is the front of the bullet that is being swaged outward to better fill the chamber. Thanks for your reply. I understand that the bullet nose is shortened, but if...

You will find a number of people on this forum feel it is their favorite levergun. Yes, you can shoot .38s out of it. Perfect for fun plinking. And with the right bullet, it's a fine deer rifle as well. I own one, and really enjoy it.
