A decent 94, flat band 32 Win. special with period receiver sights or a well abused SAA 1965 .357 in good shooting shape?
Stories of both in Colorado. But maybe not

Is there any documental proof of a 30-30 or 32 speecial setting off a primer in a tublar mag? There is in 45 cal WFN in 336 or 95 Marlin. Placing 30-30 rounds on a flat surface loaded with 130gr hp does not touch the primer. I have the mag blocked so only two will fit in the mag so only have a two s...

I am glad you posted it. I just started to read the Banditti book that my dad received in the forties as a gift. It has a copyright date of 1930 and I do not believe it has ever been read. You brought forth some history and I do not believe any feathers were pushed the wrong way. History is history ...

Another book, unless I missed something, is Banditti of the Plains, by
I.G. McPherren. (Cattlemen's Invasion of Wyoming in 1882).
Some names are not the same.

nby, I don't think so but the method works very well. I have also used an 8mm with a spacer to crimp 310 martini heeled bullets. Works great, if I had a 41 colt I bet something could be used for that also. Belt Mountain was going to make some with a spacer but do not know if he will, or does. If you...

Thanks for being here!

the 480 Achilles being an outside lubed bullet and heeled I was lubing by hand. Sometimes this was unhandy. This may be of interest to other lever gunners. Doughty Enterprises opens up sizer dies to what ever diameter is wanted. He opened a .358 for me to .477 to use in a Lyman 45 to Lube only the 4...

Well, I stay confused. If a Calif. FFL dealer will accept from a non FFL holder in another state you may ship to Calif. Please answer yes or no.

Thinking about this some more today, and the picture of the dog and the quills. This is just about right when you think of a lot of people who have stepped in to help others in a combative situation to help solve the problem. Does not have to be deadly but may have been. So often the helper gets a f...

Rod WMG, sorry I now understand what you ment. I have no idea but, Ouch! Poor dog!

Rod WMG, Yes, but not with out help from a kind soul.
Maybe I missed the point.

NO Porcupine! Way to many cows, horses and other courious animals have died a hideous death from porcupines. No body wants the symbol of something that strickes back without fully understanding danger. Think of somebody trying to shake somebodys hand and gets a face full of quills and cannot eat or ...

Double check it is not full of lead. Get a oversize brush, brass and work on it some you might start getting some lead out. Just a thought.

I have a 1931 30WCF cut to 18 inches off a '55. Has the rear dove tail cut and drilled and tapped with two holes for a front sight. Barrel looks good, if interested $65.00 shipped. Has a dove tail cut in the bottom for the magazine hanger used on the '55.
The very best to you and yours.

When these were first announced the pressure listed was 28000psi for loading in the 45-70. In a more sane mode, Lyman loading for the Springfield trap door pressure. Reports from Canada with a 30-06, factory loads sliped the face. Think it would be great fun and safer to use BP and we know that woul...

Bill,
How about a rundown on the sparten. I have had one on order and was told they were not to be made.

J Miller If you do not get heavy handed it will work fine in autos. 22 JC Higgins Mark 2 ruger 10/22 Hi Standard Duramatic. This was what I used and accuracy was better in all but the Mark 2. This was all one lot of Blazer. Another brand may have worked better in the Mark 2. My .02 The very best to ...

Reo,
The mold you have was designed by Dave Scovil and the cast weight you are getting is about right. My Lyman casts a 265 and the RCBS casts a 250gr weight. I personaly like the heavier DS design. But they all work well.
Bob

Used on Amazon at $89.00 on up. A new in the wrapper is a very good price.
Why don't I buy it ? I have an autographed one from the man himself and the shipping container it came in.
I guess I am bragging, sorry.

I have one in 219 Zipper and no problem with feeding and no work was done to the action. The 25-35 should work fine. Action is good for 60,000 so it has been said. Po Ackley maybe. I load the Zipper to velocities of the triple duce and it does shoot little groups. No need to hot rod it. The very bes...

is leaving for and when are you starting?
Bob

If you shoot cast bullets a lot it can cause some problems with lots of leading in the ports. I find accuracy with cast is not as good out of a ported barrel versus a non ported. Jacket do not seem to make a difference. My findings any way. Others may vary.

311291, believe it was first made in 1906 and was the first gas check design. The old timers used it for all the thirtys. You asked for one for all of them, so this will work. Frank Marshells favorite for the 30-30.
If this is wrong information we will know.

I read something a few days ago that some of the charges were dropped and they may all have been. Did not read throughly or remember all of what I read.

Hobie and all PS, Those are all .44 and now they have the .45 and I think they are using the .460 case. Also the bullet needs to be soft lead to allow the bumb up and the swage down. If it was me in the Handi I might try a .44 paper patch and start way low in the .460 case if it would chamber. Pleas...

northwoods

Hobie, Yes, and it was deep seated in .444 Marlin cases trimmed too length. The cylinder was bored straight through. Seyfried was gettin 2" groups at fifty yards if I remember correctly. I have a friend that has three from Bowen but I have never paid a lot of attention to them. I know he likes ...

northwoods

Try finding the information Bowen has on his paradox barrel. Seems Lee may have made a special bullet with an extra wide grease grove. The wide grease grove was not used for grease but gave a relief for the lead to flow. The bullet was shot dry but used a greased wad behind it. Ross Seyfried worked ...

Do not carry concealed in the Colorado National Forrest. Even with a
permit it is a no no.

Steel tube Weaver, 2 1/2 or 3 power.

New ammo for the 32 special also, Hornady's LeverEvolution!

northwoods

modify an 8mm Lee factory crimp die. Use a spacer like suggested. It is the proper dia. for the 32 cal.

northwoods

Or are you limited to one carry piece ony?

See you in June, keep your spurs sharp.

The very best to you and yours!
