I'm not much of a fan of the blr but anything .358 win. gets my attention...... and it is also good to see 4198 being used.....despite the different speeds, 4198 is to the .358 what 3031 is to the 30-30..... as for the barnes, perhaps some of our californios will advise, especially those who are fo...

I will apologize in advance for the long post, but I have been away from shooting for a while and I am pretty happy with how today’s project turned out. I wanted to share my success. I found some Barnes 180 grain TTSX bullets and decided to try working up a new load. I used WW brass, Winchester larg...

The "oldest" with the cinnamon phase bear gets extra "style points" for her choice in foot gear. Great stories and pictures. Thanks for sharing.

What Thunder 50 said. Those are made for the 35 Remington and you are talking low 35 Rem velocities, so bullets built for it should be ideal. Another option if you don't mind the possibility of them going "splat" on a big hog are 180 grain 357 mag bullets that all the makers produce. And ...

Good Morning Fellas! It has been over a year since I stopped by here and like a nuisance relative I show up and right off the bat start asking questions. On the other hand since it is about loading experience for a lever gun cartridge, and I think, a darned good one at that, the 358 Winchester, mayb...

This forum has changed quite a bit of late. As stated intermittently above, there are very few lever action discussions on here any more. Most of the threads are off topic and recently more and more of them are over "personal issues" It is starting to feel more like lever guns Facebook tha...

I agree. The story I heard did mention that the rhino was going to be removed from the population whether the hunt was raffled off or not. I assume it is to allow the poor old fellow an end to any suffering. Everyone bidding knew the deal going in. In this case it was about making a "donation&...

I watched the first (and last for me) episode from iTunes. It appears to me to be an affirmative action poor version of Walker Texas Ranger. In general a weak story line where you are led to believe she has some fantastic "intuition" that lets her figure out what is going on while neandert...

A big part of what is wrong today is all this "need" to relate to an ancestry. After you get it figured out I suppose the next step is to hyphenate your heritage and then your loyalty. Heck I was just thinking about doing the DNA test for the fun of it. :D "I suppose the next step is...

CCI CB's are fine out to about twenty yards for tree rats, ground squirrels and cotton tails. They are just as effective as a 22 caliber pellet gun. At least I have had great luck with them.

Our very own Lassiter came to the rescue. He has a screw on the way to me.

You are very correct to recognize the lineman. That was my dad for 42 years in northern Iowa. I remember hundreds of storms, both thunderstorms and winter storms where my dad was walking out the door to climb utility poles when the rest of the world was hunkering down under cover. They are and he wa...

Congrats Pitchy on getting your XDs back. I am hearing form quite a few people that they can not tell much difference in the modification which is a good thing. I too look forward to a more extended range report when the weather pulls in it's claws and fangs.

Cold snap seems to be moving on from Dallas/Ft Worth area. It is 38 F here this morning and we are headed for mid sixties by Sunday. Be safe and keep warm all you lever gunners up north.

There is no point in blowing out my 140 yard lane today. No one is going in or out until the morning, so I'll blow 'er out then.

I have been trying, but I have yet to find any local hardware stores with a set screw small enough and or a way to measure that small of a thread to get the proper diameter and thread pitch. I am sure I can order one once I get the specs.

so the gun magazines would have something to write about.

The Hornet is probably one of the best single shot small caliber centerfire cartridges ever. Whether that is a break action like a TC Contender or a Handi- Rifle or it is a falling block like a Ruger No 1 or a scaled down Sharps etc. Like this one from Dakota Arms. http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/...

SJPrice

Thanks, but no. What I need is a slightly longer one. My elevation setting is about 1/16th higher than the length of the set screw.

SJPrice

Does anyone know the size or specs of the set screw used as an elevation stop on the Lyman Receiver Sight?

Nice, simplistic design. What price range? Sure wish I had the craft to at least do my own stuff like that. Good leather, a good clear pattern, a steady hand, a decent leather sewing machine and really really really sharp tools. Or if you can not afford the sewing machine at first you can get by wi...

I imagine so. It is generally a fact that the real interesting folks are the ones who just live life without needing to "declare" to the world that they are living it.

Each time I see this post pop up I stop for a second to ask him to watch over you and your Joe. I figure I am not the only one, so here it goes BTT again.

That is some story. And talk about above and beyond service from Dillon. I know now where I will go for my next loading press purchase.

"Bug Out" or "Stay in place" hmm. It is not a matter of one or the other, but rather a matter of what the situation dictates. Some times staying is not an option when the "disaster" is local, which is most likely. Civil unrest, some weather issues etc. okay make a choic...

Perhaps the coal stove has been inefficient when operating during the warmer weather. In other words it was generating more BTU' then you needed and was bleeding off heat, but now that it is colder it is using the heat it produces to warm your house.

Anyone noticed that the non ethanol fuel is priced well above the ethanol tainted gas. The ethanol requires more BTUs than a gal of gas contains to produce and is ~20% lower in BTUs, so why is the untainted gas so much more costly than the E10 that originally cost more than the non-E gas. Methinks ...

A few years ago they brought out a pretty nice Remington 1911 A-1

At -35 it is pretty hard to throw water. You start by throwing water and end up hitting what you threw at with ICE.

Sorry for your grief. Some people should not remodel their house and dealing with that later is so frustrating.

Well just a little over 6 hours into the new year and so far so good. I pray 2014 will be good to you Rusty and to all you fine folks here on the forum.

What a great way to end 2013, with finishing up a beautiful rifle like that. Great job sir.
