I based my decision for the Camp 9 and XD on data other then velocity gain. First was availability of ammo. 2nd was accuracy. 3rd was magazine capacity. 9mm can be found anywhere. My XDs like 115 or 124 grn ball or HP. The Marlin likes 115 but prefers 124 grn. Again ball or HP. I've got the scope se...

I've got 2 of the Marlin camp 9's and they are a hoot to shoot. I'll try a little experiment with the Marlin 9 and my 5" XD 9mm with a buddies chrono. While cleaning my 1st camp 9 I noticed the magazine looked a lot like the mag for the Springfield XD. So I tried the XD mag in the Marlin. It wo...

MikeS.

Pepe, that is exactly what I was thinking was the case.

So with this setup I'll need to lube the case before decapping them?

The resizing will then be a separate step with the carbide die?

MikeS.

Thanks guys. Knew I could count on you.

MikeS.

Thanks guys.

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y95/mtpys/4diesdown.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y95/mtpys/4diesup.jpg Remember I'm still brand new to reloading and learning. These are a set of .45acp dies I bought off e-bay. They were sold as "carbo" dies. The decapper-sizing dies doesn't say c...

Ok all ya picture lovers here's my M-88 and my new Ruger 3 screw 22lr / 22mag. These are my 1st .308 and my 1st single action. I had thought the M88 was a pre-64 but I was mistaken. It's still nice. I went to the range today but stupid me left home w/o the .308 ammo. I was rushing to beat sundown. O...

I had passed on this a couple days ago at Netflix. But after reading this I went ahead and set Tivo up to record it.

MikeS.

Taylor's and Co is about 17 miles from me. I'll have to see if they have a store front and pay them a visit.

Sobenk said "But it might have been my fault because I put a box over it to quell the noise." Yep, I read the Lyman instruction book last night and it specifically said not to cover it. I had picked up a used Lyman 600 20 years ago but had never used it. I was reading to see what I needed ...

MikeS.

Ouch, I'm gonna put this up at my new loading bench as a reminder.

MikeS.

I'm a moderator on a food based board and back in Jan. we decided to ban any political discussion on the board. Not saying that should be done here. Anyways thanks to y'all I now own 6 lever guns. Before coming here I had owned 1, gave it to my best friend. So I'm staying too. I get great advice and...

MikeS.

so what was it?

MikeS.

Thanks Kid, yes manual please.

MikeS.

For my reloading gear I need a powder measure to throw a powder charge. Is there one that is adjustable by .1 of a grain?

I don't want the RCBS Li'l Dandy Pistol Powder Measure it looks like you have to buy a bunch of different powder drums at 12 bucks each.

Need some suggesions guys.

MikeS.

What caliber is it? Looks great!

MikeS.

another vote for the .357 here. Several pistols and 1 lever in that caliber.

MikeS.

rjohns, same weather down here. Currently 30mph winds and temp heading down to 12. Wednesday was 70.

MikeS.

I asked about this here last week and after attending the gun show Saturday I found 2 more. They were both being sold for ~800 each. These were both post-64 models. Thanks to you that educated me in how to tell. Anyways I've decided to get the 1 at my local store it's a pre-64. I can get it for 595....

MikeS.

Went to a big gun show Saturday in No Va near Dulles airport. There were quite a few levers there. Here is a couple pictures. http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y95/mtpys/severalLevers.jpg The gold colored one is a commemorative of the battle of the little big horn dedicated to Cochise(?) http://i3.ph...

MikeS.

I liked it.

MikeS.

McCain bought him off?
I wouldn't be surprised.

Good luck Pastor Mike.

MikeS.

Also try www.ttora.com.

I've got a '97 extra-cab v-6 4x4 with about 80k miles.

The Mike's in WV must like their Tacomas, neighbor across the street named Mike has 1 too.

MikeS.

MikeS.

Ed, funny you mention the Mod. 100. The shop has a 100 right next to the 88.
Tom the owner said they hadn't seen either in a year, then they get both in last week. They're asking 450 for the 100.

MikeS.

Oh yeah, those SS guns are bright.

MikeS.

Griff, the .44 was Magtech 230grn? JSP The .357 was a HodgePodge of reloads a cousin had done for me 9+ years ago. Just some old ammo I want to use up.

MikeS.

Y'all be nice now. I've worked for IRS for 32 years. Still don't know stuff about taxes. I do know computers though. Don't blame the IRS for enforcing the law Congress has laid out. As most things wrong with this country Congress has done it. Just remember, you don't pay taxes to your employer, I do.

MikeS.

How would I tell if it is a pre 64?

MikeS.

Welcome Petie,

You ask a broad range of ?s,

Personally I like the .357. I've owned at least 1 since 1978. I just bought my 1st .44magnum 6 months ago.

I posted up a small range report a few minutes ago from both my .44 and .357 lever guns.

I'd go with the .357, a Marlin 1894 to be specific.

MikeS.

Thanks OS.

MikeS.

This weekend, the 8th - 10th is the big show at Dulles Expo center in Chantilly, Va. Any of you plan on going Saturday? I'll be there when they open. Will be looking to buy some .44 magnum ammo and some reloading supplies. If the price is right, I've checked out the local gun shop for powder and pri...

MikeS.

Man you had a camera when shooting and only managed to get pictures of your targets. NICE GROUPS but we need gun pics here! :D I have already posted pics on these 2 levers and the M29 but just to show ya what a nice guy I am, here ya go :D http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y95/mtpys/ATT00344.jpg Hap...

Why don't you like the 22 now it works ok?

Trigger action is horrible. Double action is very stiff and I have to totally move my grip to manually cock it.

MikeS.

I believe it's a Winnie, but I saw a Model 88 lever action in .308 Winchester today at my local store. It looked to be in good condition. Would 650 be out of range on the price?

Thanks guys,

MikeS.

Finally had a decent weather day on MY weekend. So I went to the range after a short stop at my local fun store for some male bonding and a box of .44 special. Also needed a bit of help getting some Houge grips to fit my M29. I decided today after shooting it again I don't really like .44 magnum out...

MikeS.

I feel that Billary and Obama will actively go after our guns. I don't feel that McCain will. I think Romney is compromised, Governor of Mass.? That liberal Bastion and he served as a Republican?? About like the Republican(?) Gulianai. Plus I'm not a fan of LDS. Although my best friend is one. We ju...

MikeS.

Tycer, what the heck are you talking about here?
"I bought an LG105 Defender for my old beater flatlatch. "

I don't know what a LG105 or beater flatlatch is.

I can guess it's a handgun of some sort.

MikeS.

When I left Kalif. 9 years ago the vast majority were Yours. Now? I don't know but would bet the majority still are.

Here in No Va. and my slice of Wva it is mostly others.

I'm all for shipping them all home. Come here legally or don't come at all.

MikeS.

Another vote for the Rossi or Marlin in .357. I had a Marlin and now have the Rossi. Both fun to shoot and the .357 is a great defense round.

I have no experience with a .45 Colt so I can't comment.

MikeS.

Very nice! I have the the Stoeger identical to the top picture. It's fun to shoot.

MikeS.

Too bad Pastor Huckabee no longer has a prayer. He seems to be the best 2nd amendment canidate. McCain is ok but Romney is marginal.

MikeS.

I shot several 3 shot groups out of my 336 .30-30 and they were all nice and tight. I like this new LE ammo. When I find some in .357mag I'll try it in my Rossi SRC.

MikeS.

Thanks guys, I'm buying some dies off of the auction sites. Want to make sure I get what I need.

MikeS.

1 more question, are RCBS and Lee dies interchangeable?

MikeS.

Bear with me here guys, Talking pistol reloading here.
In carbide die sets is only the sizer die carbide?
The deprimer and sizer are together?
The bullet seating die, different ones for different style bullets, like RN, SWC and WC? I see some advertised as for RN.

MikeS.

When Big 5 was my friend and mausers kept comming home with me it was great because they more or less looked the same :D but when space became a problem that little trick went away :oops: Nice collection. I'm using that same trick now, XDs, 10/22s and levers all look the same to the wife. Fortunate...
