Safety ends with the person handling the firearm. Anything that happen afterwards is the person who is handling the firearm's responsibility!
I have had a negative opinion of baldwin for a long time. With that in mind, his statement makes me angry and shows me just how shallow of a person he is.
JMHO

I vote "yes" !

Of those shooting 44 mag in a lever carbine or rifle, what king of accuracy you getting at 100 yds ?? What is your load if you don't mind sharing? I am getting 2" - 3 " with a 300 gr LFN gc over 20 grs of 2400 @ 1750 fps in a Marlin 24" barrel' How am I doing compared to you guys ??

I am so sorry! Prayers for her and all.

Back when Lincoln was president I got me a RedHawk! The darn thing banged my knuckle behind the trigger guard something fierce, I mean after a cylinder of mags the knuckle was about trashed. I got these http://prntscr.com/1zpqql2 on it and man what a difference. No more pain and I swear the recoil f...

Bronco

I don't know if I did anything to insult anyone but I will put out a big " I am sorry" for general purpose

Bronco

Thanks everybody,
I know I can always call the manufacture! However, in the past I have found nuggets of knowledge asking people with experience!

Bronco

Can this stuff be compressed in a load???

Thinking about playing with some for pelosi s and giggles!

Sorry for the s word, if it is bad to use such a word in this context please let me know. Do not want to offend the faint of heart

Enjoyed this read !
Torn about not having a LGS like that nears me. Wished I had one near me but there isn't, glad because my pocket would be a lot lighter ! I am already on hot dogs and beans for the rest of the year .

Bronco

I have plenty of 2400. Been happy with it for years! Just thought I might be getting behind the times. I use it in the .410, M1 carbine, 357 and the 44. It will load to about all I want to handle in the 44 mag. I am getting about 1350 fps in the 7.5" Redhawk and 1750 in the 24" Marlin usin...

Bronco

With all these powder recommendations, am I behind the times using 2400 in my 44 ???

Bronco

Pricey at $485 but looks like they got them!

I found some 50-110 dies after about 10 minutes on google! Forget the sites , one price made me gasp, I think it was $464.00 and another was in czechoslovakia, but the brand was listed on other site as out of stock. I bought mine years ago from RCBS, 15 or so. If I remember the price was about $150....

Bronco

My conversion was from a brownchester M 71! I would suggest trying out the pistol grip then decide if you want a straight grip instead. I was happy with the pistol grip. I even put a decelerator recoil pad on it! The recoil is pretty stout when pushing 527 grains nearly 2000 fps. I don't recommend s...

I told Turnbull the same about bullet weight and they put a 1-16 twist on mine !

Bronco

My lever guns consist of a Daisy Red Rider, a Marlin 1894 CB - 24" barrel in 44 mag, a Brownchester 86 saddle ring in 45-70 and a Brownchester M71 - 32" barrel in 50-110! A nice 92 in 32-20 would be awesome to park in the new safe I would have to get ! Mine is packed so full you have to ha...

Bronco

I have one! I have also read the same thing ! What I found out upon further investigating this is that some people would put a 100 pounds of lead shot on them in trying to eliminate the recoil. Soooo when I was working up hot loads for my 50-110 I only put 25# of lead on it to just tame the recoil. ...

Back when brass was cheap and plentiful, my favorite brass was the "free brand" which could be had almost any time at the range

I was wondering if it might be slowing down with the WST.
But I ain'ta gunna cut 8" off the tube to find out! I just ainta gunna LOL

Bronco

Depends a lot on the powder . I have a load of 5.5 grs of WST and a 300 gr. LFN gas check! I get about 750 fps in the 7 1/2" Redhawk and almost exactly the same in my Marlin 24" . I was really surprised with that. Now with a max of 2400 the difference is about 400 fps. 1350 -- 1750 fps.

Bronco

Thank you gents for the thoughts and info!

Bronco

Howdy All,
I have been reloading for years and have what I do down pat!
BUT one thing I have never thought about before!

When following the max loads for handguns from the manuals; how do those rounds compare to +P and +P+ rounds ?????

Thanks in advance for any enlightenment

I got an email from Ed to give me the tracking #. He is doing the #4 hunting disc and I am not sure if he is back up to speed producing all of the usual products !
I have no dog in this show, he sure seems like a nice guy ! Just so you all know

Howdy All, Merit Corporation is back and up! I ordered a #4 hunting disc yesterday from ED for my Marlin ! Price was $60.00 shipped. I tried to contact them about a year or two ago , got no answer and figured that they were out of business! Ed said he had gotten a new job with the railroad and it wa...

Hello All, All of my hard cast, water quenched, gas checked bullets that I make have been shot in firearms where the velocity was 2K fps or less with no leading! Been thinking about getting a .30 cal mold in a 125 to 135 grain cast. Will still be a hard cast, gas checked item. Sooo, question is........

A woman goes into labor with her child. The doctor says that they have invented a new device to transfer the pain of childbirth to the father. He asks if it is ok to use the new device. The couple agrees and so he turns the pain to the father to 10%. The man feels nothing. They then bump it up to 20...

I have found that trying to use one die to seat and crimp makes it real easy to cut the plating! I bought a taper crimp and seat and crimp in two separate stages. I believe that they are good to about 1000 fps. But a quick call to the manufacturer will give you a more concrete answer. I use them if ...

Thanks for the replies! Been shooting 185's out of my Para, 6" barrel ( no suppressor) and love'm. 10" plate at 100 yards hit more often than miss. Going heavier in the SBR to more or less guarantee no sonic crack ! SBR has a 8" barrel! My place borders cattle grounds on north and wes...

I have one with a heater, just love it! Works great even when gas checking. The heater unit, I bought with the sizer, has a rheostat, so I got it dialed in to just the heat I want and the unit turns itself on and off to keep the temp just right. Been using LBT blue with it. I have the sizer - heater...

I have had my FWB 124 D for over 40 years! It was the hot rod of the 177's in it's day. Nothing compared to the power of todays hot rods. 8 gr pellet about 820 fps. Always nice to be quiet and plink a rat or mouse.

Looks like fun ! Hope to get a range report !
