Casastahle...I love that stock!

That forearm is that factory???? The barrel without it's front sight is throwing me off a little.

I'm also looking into buying the program primarily need to make some loads up for my M/S 1908 8x56mm and others. I did hear good things about it and it's true regarding bullets & powder data base, if it's not there it's pretty much useless.

What you need is to find one of these: http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p64/Basepin/IMAG0134.jpg Savage 99F 243 Win., 22" barrel and factory drilled & tapped for scope 8) I did a swap with another guy at the gun club, he wanted my 99H in 30-30. It was a no brainer since I had two of them ...

I'm planning on bringing or should I say hopefully to bring my custom Marlin 336 in 356 rimless. I'm still waiting to get it from Nonneman

it should be here any day and for back up will be my Browning 1895 in 30-06.

You just need to know what you can or can't do. Yes steam is dangerous but if kept in check it's fine. I deal with it day in and day out in the medical field I work on steam sterilizers in the hospitals. Sorta of like an over sized pressure cooker to sterilize OR instruments.

I vaguely remember reading an article by Ken Waters on the 338-08 years ago but I can't remember what rifle he used, I may have to look it up but I do know he had good things to say about it.

Just curious if anyone here has one? There is a gentlemen at one of my accounts has one new in box and is planning to sell it but he hasn't set the price on it yet. Haven't seen it yet but when I googled it most of them look really nice! Your thoughts?

Even though your down in southern Maine area, there's a gun smith Jim White http://www.jwhitegunsmithing.com/index.html he's located in Gilford just northwest of Newport going towards Greenville.

If you were close, we could run my 38-72 reamer in your chamber and open it up. It was designed to use 405win brass and to be able to chamber a .381" bullet. Its a great cartridge. You might get some Hawk .377" bullets as the people at Hawk said the cores were soft lead and it should obdi...

I have a Ruger Bisley 357 that is rechambered to 356 GNR. It is a 41 mag case necked down to 357. The rechamber is easy, case forming too! It also can be had in a lever gun . Very accurate with Hornady 158gr. Xtp. I have been SOOO wanting to do a 356 GNR conversion on a Marlin lever for a long time...

Mainehunter

Thanks for the feedback guys! When I first noticed the problem I checked the firearms is question mainly the Marlin 336 35 Remington and Browning 95 30-06. All is good when I examined the cases individually after firing particularly when I run test loads in them. What I like to do is practice my fol...

I noticed as of late when I go though a range session my brass are getting beat up due to the new concrete slab the gun club poured this past spring. I had to throw a few away when the case head gets dinged so bad it wont chamber or eject. I don't know if I'm making a big deal about it. How do you g...

Mainehunter

ought to be a thumper. :wink: It will be interesting that's for sure! Even though it will be my first rifle in the caliber but I have shot it a few times before. My buddy has a Remington 750 in 35 Whelen and it's not that bad but I'm thinking my Browning will kick more due to the drop in the stock....

I had to do a service call yesterday up north of Bangor, "up to the county" as we call it here. I stopped at a gun shop that I haven't been in a long time. Had a few levers, bolt actions and pumps but nothing really caught my eye. There in the back of the shop was a large selection of shot...

In my Speer book #13 shows for 240 grain JHP or JSP 51C (which is compressed charge) is MAX load, mzl. velocity 2355. Starting load is 49 grains, mzl. velocity 2263. R-P cases, CCI 200 and barrel length was 24" were used for testing. Your mileage may very. A friend of mine loves his 444 but I d...

I don't have any info on reboring but if I had a 94 in that condition, I'd turn it into a trapper with an 18" barrel.

Just for my curiosity does that one have the ramp front sight or the carbine type sight?

For all you that have one of these on your Marlin 336. What's the weight different between wood and synthetic? Also, have you noticed the difference in handling and shooting between the two?

Mainhunter, Load 15 gr. Unique, fill with cornmeal tamped down, finish with a wax wad. Bullet lube works well. Fireform holding the rifle muzzle vertical. Should fill out very well.

I figured as much as you guys state. I bought 3 molds this week and will be casting for plinking soon. Interesting world we live in. 3 molds, one from the US, another from Australia, and a third from Europe! 115 gr 32-20, 174 gr 303 , 270 gr 444, and a 165 gr 32 Special. All middle weight for calib...

Thanks for the feedback gentlemen! :) Why do you want to de-cap them? If you don't have a rifle, aren't going to load them, what is so urgent about this? Primed cases are not hazardous in any way. Obviously you aren't going to load them, why not give them to someone who can use them? The only reason...

Mainehunter

A couple of options. 1) load them up and shoot them off. 2) place empty case in a 308 rifle and fire off just the primer. 3) resize as usual. This method is in need of caution. When raising into the die do so slowly the decap pin will push out the primer and it can be reused. Wear safety glasses an...

Mainehunter

I was given a couple boxes of 308 brass most of them have primers in them. What's a safe way on removing them? I was thinking of spraying some oil based product (WD-40, Mystery Oil, etc.etc...) let them sit for a day or so and decap.

Thanks,

Take down, nickle plated and has rear tang sight. SN puts the manufacture date late 20's. Other than someone buffed the bluing off the receiver it's pretty clean and lock up is tight. On consignment for $1100.00. Your thoughts. Thanks.

One thing I don't get is the price variations on the Browning 95's. I know there were different calibers and such but just the other day I was at Cabalas they had one just like mine they say new in box but there were light handling marks and going for $1500!

What gives???
