Once a bear finds the bird feeders they will keep coming back. Just need to pull the bird feeders for a couple weeks and they will stop coming around.

Their Wisconsin plant is about an 60 miles away from me. Two years ago when I was looking for a new job. I thought about applying , because they were moving all their center fire rifles production there. But it is just too far for daily driving. I do need to buy a Henry that is stamped Made in WI. I...

BenT

Happy Birthday Gentlemen! Terry at 105 you look pretty good for an Old Goat.

BenT

NICE! Meat in the freezer. The 338MX is one of my favorites for whitetail. Nice to know it performs on Moose.

BenT

1898 in 30-40. Fun to shoot. Last year one of the gunshops had a Norwegian Krag for $400. Which I thought was too much. But it kept bothering me after three months and it still being there. I decided the next time I pass through that town, I will stop and dicker on it. Well thank God some one bought...

I gave up on Best Buy in 1998 when they had my PC to replace a mother board under warranty. They returned it 6 weeks later just to tell me that they don't do warranty work for Acer. It took them 6 weeks to figure that out! I will never give them a dime after that incompetence.

BenT

Jack,

I glad to see that you made it to retirement and are making good use of your time.

I will keep working to make sure your Social Security checks keep showing up in your mailbox.
And NO I won't get a second job just to make sure you checks keep showing up.

BenT

Leupold has a $50 rebate on VX-1 scopes through Oct 2. I just bought a 2x7 from Cabelas.

BenT

I was going to have a 1895 Browning in 30-06 rebored to 35 Whelen. But then, like Sixgun, I fell into a 1895 Win in 35 Win. Then I picked up a 71 Winchester. So I have high powered 35 cal leverguns covered.

BenT

Super Cool! But can't help you.

BenT

I'm 62 with no issues at all. I can lift 16 pounders full of liquid every 20 minutes.....sometimes carrying an ounce and a half in the other hand. Can carry it all down to the gun room in 60 seconds. Last night I kicked 2 snails off the cement walk out front and (With bare feet) I just lifted 2 dog...

BenT

When using the six gang mould fill the bullet closest to the sprue cutter handle last, so start filling on the other end. This way when cutting the sprue the last bullet will be the softest when starting to cut. Also make sure the sprue cutter is closed all the way. Do that and the Sprue cutter hand...

BenT

I've played it in for over a decade. But its Wisconsin and people are always looking for something to do while drinking beer.

BenT

Sorry to hear that.

I had to put my 16 year old dog down in May. His hips were shot and had to help him get up every morning. Even after scheduling the day with the vet and knowing it was coming. I still left the vet office teary eyed. Buried him in the horse pasture with all the other previous pets.

BenT

If I had to get 6.5 swede. That would be it. The drop of the comb works best for iron sights. I almost bought one years ago in 243, but bought the Ruger International instead because I ran across a deal on one.

BenT

Thank You Gentlemen. This is the first Birthday without my Dad. He passed away last September. It is odd because we share the same Birthday and usually I would call him up and wish him a Happy Birthday and he says the same back. Then I razz him about being old. If our Birthdays were on the weekend w...

BenT

Done!

BenT

At your age, you gentlemen can celebrate Birthday Week! You don't need have it just for one day. So continue the festivities.

BenT

They won't cycle through the action. The 308 AOL is .240 longer than the 307. Same with the 358 Win and 356 Win. Single shot only.

BenT

Handloader Magazine did a test like this about 10 years ago with the same results.

Ammunition has changed a lot since military tests in the 1880's which gave magazine detonation with the 45-70.

BenT

American Deer Hunter, Small game Hunting and Advanced Deer Hunting are great books and are worth getting. They are books that you will reread from time to time.

BenT

Happy Birthday!

BenT

A little late , but Happy Birthday.

BenT

My notes show water capacity that I weighted of these cases.

25-35 36.4 gr
25 REM 43 gr
250 SAV 46.5 gr

BenT

Here is a bad photo of a 25-35 case, 25-35 case blown out in a 25 Rem die and 25 Rem case. http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i311/skidblister/th_101_0003_zpsb1d5407f.jpg I had a 25 Rem in a Model 14 with a bad bore that would not shoot. So I had the 25 Rem dies and though of reaming out a 25-35 barr...

BenT

The 338MX is only second to my 356 Win for favorite deer hunting levergun. Both rounds drop deer great. Remington is missing out on this round the 22 in barrel gun balances great and doesn't weight much more than the 30-30. Brass isn't hard to come by and last a long time. This isn't a bench gun so ...

BenT

Super Cool!

BenT

That is a dandy!

BenT

Happy Birthday! Now go shoot something.

BenT

Well let's see a picture of that Cowboy Screwdriver.

BenT

This is mine. Yes that is me styling. http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i311/skidblister/100_5820_zps2f82df14.jpg I would research Lancers. I believe they have an aluminum frame. Mine is wooden and the bed that is over the cab sags. The aluminum frame ones won't do that. I have traveled across the c...

BenT

I've been around here a long time. Because I remember when you picked of the model 71 and trying to talk you out of that 356 BB.

BenT

I am thinking you are in better shape than me after this winter. Eau Claire was a good show , picked up a S&W in 32-20.

BenT

Ben, another very pleasant load, concerning your Unique, is 4-4.5 grains with some type of a cast bullet. You can, in YOUR 32-20 (mine has the non heat treated cylinder) easily go to 5 grains or even 5.5 but the tin cans your shooting won't know the difference in velocity. Let cut the B.S----- Can ...

BenT

Ben, You made a good buy and at a very fair price I might add. I bought the same one you have below pictured in 1976 and paid $110. A factory letter shows it was shipped to the Belknap Hardware store in Louisville Kentucky in 1906. The only diet it has been fed is a 115 gr. Lyman with 3 grains of B...

BenT

I had a Vaquaro in 32-20 and 32 mag that my friend got from me , needed the money. The good thing is that I still get to shoot it from time to time.

The thing is that the 32 mag is easier to reload than 32-20. I ended up shooting that more than the 32-20, so the 32-20 cylinder didn't get used much.

BenT

Great snag! Looking forward to reading the range report. If you'd like I could send you some plain base 311316s to try. Eric I appreciate the offer. I have variety of 32 cal moulds. I just found 2 more boxes of 100gr fp Rainier 312 bullets , I have 2 thousands of them. So I thought I would give the...

BenT

Todd good to see that you are still around. Will being doing the Flood Run that weekend.

BenT

Well here is the picture before I tell the story. http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i311/skidblister/20160325_173008_zpswvudicin.jpg I went to the gun show , browsed and had good conversation. The only thing that interested me was a Winchester 1895 in 40-85. It had a half octagon , half round barrel...

Yep The Octane starts out as a Scout with different styling and a little more H.P. I could make that work.

BenT

Great bike and affordable. The standard scout has a 100 H.P. The scout sixty which MSRP is $9000 has 70 H.P. I was very temped by one myself when the local Honda/ Yamaha shop picked up Indian. But I just picked up a used bike last fall after not having one for a few years. I'll have to see how much ...

BenT

The 115 gr .313 ranchdog bullet shoots just fine without gaschecks. I shoot it in the 327 FED and keep them sub sonic and work great for plinking.

BenT

Was it hard getting the wheel set up at the correct angle.

BenT

I paid $1050 for this one http://www.levergunscommunity.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=64794&p=744840&hilit=win#p744840 I found standard grade 71's made in the 50's didn't bring more than $1300 in excellent shape. If it has been tapped for a side mount scope like the one I bought brings it into...

BenT

On the saddle horn of your saddle of course! These questions are just to easy. :D I hang my belts on a big hook next to my gun stuff. I also keep holsters in a cardboard box. I switch holsters on the gun belts depending on what gun I am using. I've been doing this way for a long time. http://i75.pho...

BenT

As far as boring out the existing barrel and not changing bolt face then you are limited to 32-40 , 32 special, 35/30-30 and 38-55. JES can rebore that to 38-55 , that is what I would go to. I believe you can use the same magazine spool.

BenT

Actually the angle is often the culprit. Many a hammer on a lever gun can be observed moving backwards just prior to release! This means the trigger is actually working the main spring! This leads many to lighten main springs which is wrong! Carefully removing this 'hooking' of the sears is always ...

BenT

Don't change angles just take the machine marks out. I use a small flat file with 400 grit sandpaper wrapped around it. If I remove the trigger sear from the gun then I lay 400 grit paper on the flat part of my vise and run the sear across it. That helps keep everything square. Add oil to the sandpa...

BenT

Enjoy your day Gentleman !

BenT

That is a dandy! What is there not to like about that.

We don't have those laws in Wisconson. But then we have to deal with people standing line around the block to get into the ER for Colt single action gun wounds.
