Getting ready to pick one of these beast up DW model 40 with the 8" barrel and heavy sleve, any one have favorite loads? Or links to where any ammo may be hiding??? AM ordering brass and dies as we speak, but Remington stopped production a few years ago. I thought the DW was called the 360 DW,...

I recommend a Marlin Guide Gun (levergun, naturally) in. 45-70. Fast follow-up shots, should be adequate power and penetration with almost any load. Guide gun 45/70, well that is just the goofiest thing I've ever heard. Anyone with any sinse knows a S&W 460 (500 might be better) would be the pr...

A gun does you no good if you cannot hit XXXX with it. Look like XXXX maybe to you that's your opinion. Seems like If you scope a Marlin its fine as it comes with the ability to scope but if you do it to a Winchester 94 top eject it is heresy. I say BS optics are for a reason failing old eyes is on...

harry

Tough Crowd here evidently I figured more would say something. The gun is a post 64 so it is not like it is a collectable it is a shooter and since my 60 year old eyes like the dot sights even better than peep sights it works for me. This will be a FUN GUN/ Tactical gun. Two options for tactical sp...

NO.
You might luck out and find one that will drop in and be good to go. I have 6 barrels, only one has been drop in.
If you are feeling a little salty, I have a 500 S&W barrel I could turn you on to.

Huhn. That is weird. I wondered that, however, it is acraglas and the verbage said it has a shelf life of 20 years..... I wonder if it froze in shipping and crystalized? Anyway, I think I will try with store bought epoxy and see how it goes. Did you use Brownells release agent? I was going to try u...

Not all guns are the same :lol: My H&R 223 will shoot 1/2" groups all day, but if you scrub the barrel with copper solvent it takes 200 to 300 rounds to get back to that 1/2", So it hasn't seen solvent in 7 years. My Weatherby vanguard 223 needs to be scrubed with solvent every 100 rou...

30-40 krag Back in 1892 the US Army adopted its first bolt action service rifle and its first smokeless powder cartridge, the .30-40 Krag (.30 US Army). The rifle was a slightly modified version of the Danish 1892 Krag-Jorgensen infantry rifle. Modern factory loads for the .30-40 are still available...

Does anyone here forge knives or other things? Also does anyone have pictures if their forges? I'm considering getting into it and am looking for ideas. Thanks, RustyJr This is a good place to start also: https://www.blacksmithsdepot.com/page.php?theLocation=/Resources/Product/Forges_and_Parts/blow...

Try one of the brass removers, Barnes is the one I use. Plug the nipple and pore the bore full enough to cover the brass brush and let set over night. It will soften the brush so that it will come out, yes it will take the seasoning out of the barrel but you did that with the brass brush anyways.

harry

Blaine just a couple of things to remember,
1. Order on line
2. They have up to a dozen rifles on the floor at any given time, I know of several guys that went to sharps only to walk out with their list of goodies in there pocket and a new rifle under there arm.

harry

The guy does great work, but if you need it with in 6 months you should go through Cabela's

Earl, Sometimes in life one has to "bite the bullet". :D Go ahead and splurge on your favorite pellet. Still cheaper than primers! On the same page, I went down to my favorite hangout to pick up a box of Sierra 30 caliber 168 gr. HPBT match bullets-----------------$$40.25!!!!................

I've seen 4 of the "Marlin Jam's", all were at the range while guys were trying to eject rounds out real slow so they wouldn't hit the ground and get dirty.

By the way, this isn't a revolver that I normally would have bought but I traded into a bunch of 32S&W and 32S&W Long ammo and components and although I have an H&R 32 topbreak I didn't have anything chambered in the 32 Long. I figure that I have about $35 in this one and even though it...

Shot my 25 Remington this past week up to camp. It came with two boxes of ammo (from Cabelas) and loaded with what looks like 117 round nose Hornady bullets. Cases are reformed 30 Remington brass. Out of 20 rounds 12 of them had a split in the neck area just above the shoulder. I have read some whe...

Unless there is a chapter and verse in the ATFE book of rules you do so at your own risk, And legaly if you take that 1911 and rebarrel and restock it you can never take it back to pistol status

I have 3 cylinders for my 1858 New Army, 2 C&B & one .45ACP Conversion. I'd like to be able to carry the spare cylinders securely on my belt. Will speed-loader pouches work to carry them securely? You are going to need pouches for a large cylinder, say 460/500 s&w or so, I have dual loa...

As I've mentioned, from time to time I carry a short barreled 1860 Army concealed (I knew I was born in the wrong century). I carry the spare cylinder in a pouch I picked up from Cabela's.

If you had aimed just right it would have gutted and skined it at the same time.

I use the blue for masking the stock and barrel when glass bedding a stock, two layers is just right for free floating a barrel.

Any one that would take load data off a gun fourm and and just fire it in their gun shouldn't be reloading in the first place. Each guns chamber and throat are different, cartridges have different OAL and the list goes on and on. Its basic reloading 101.

I have both pistol and carbine barrels, If you should get a 17 be sure to buy plenty of bandaids and remember that in the 17 fireball 1/2 gr of most powders will have about 10 to 15K pressure increase when working in the range of max loads. So you can go from mild to wild really fast.

harry

I have a TC Contender in 17 Hornet and 17 fireball, and yes the hornet is between 17 HMR and 17 Rem. I get 3200 fps with 20gr bullets in the hornet and 3600 with the fireball with 30gr berger.

You might look a little deeper into the ammo on the right, the box has 147 FMJ and the cartridge has a spire point bullet in it.
