Don't know why, but the address on "my favorites" directs to http://www.rugerforum.org/phpBB/

and it wasn't coming up.

Yours works fine.

JUST RECHECKED - it now comes up with the ".org" extension. Strange.

Anyone able to get in?

I've got my Win94 Trapper loaded with 9rds of lite 44mag.

6.2gr Bullseye / 200gr XTP.

I don't have a problem using it for my home defense purposes.

I bought some 40gr JSP PMC Predator from Sportsmanguide a little over a year ago for $200 per 2000ct which worked out to $5.00 per 50. They're not offering the deal right now, but they do have the 250ct box for $36 ($7.20 per 50) http://www.sportsmansguide.com/net/cb/22-magnum-ammo.aspx?a=213922 It'...

I'm here in Alabama right now where supply is definitely a lot higher than in Florida. Wal-Mart had around 15 of the Win 100ct boxes and 10 of the 50rd boxes of Blazer 9mm. In 22lr, they only had 4 boxes of Fed Bulk. At the local gun store, they also had several boxes of 9mm and bulk 22s, but at the...

I've been shipping long guns via US Postal for the past 20yrs. Never a lost/stolen/damaged/undelivered package. I've shipped handguns via UPS for the same amount of time. Never a lost/stolen/damaged/undelivered package. Lucky so far. But I'd definitely see if you could at least get an attorney to ju...

meanc

Dang it Rusty.

I've been to 4 Wal-Marts and found nothing for 22lr Bulk.

I've got about 4 boxes left, so I'm not sweating it too much. Hopefully when we head up to Alabama I'll come across a few along the way.

I used the Rainier 158gr plated bullets under 15gr of 2400 with a medium crimp from the LFC die. I think I was getting just around 1700fps. No leading. No copper separation. Superb accuracy. I was getting 1" - 2" at 100yds with the scope. Bullseye also works great. I was using 5.5gr and wa...

I've got two of these with the 24" bbl. They are the Legacy model. I've also got a Trapper and a Trails End version (16" / 20" bbl). They all function the same and they're equally accurate with the same load (23gr H-110 under 240gr XTP). I do like the 24" barrel as it seems to ha...

Not at the current prices. My last purchase of factory aside from 22lr was 9mm . I believe I paid about $250 for 6 cases a few years ago. It's the only reason I don't reload for it; too cheap to bother with. And I've still got more than 75% left. I did buy some factory Magtech 357mag from MidwayUSA....

$11.99 shipped.

I just ordered a few boxes. There are still more available.

I don't understand why anyone would be interested in one of these over a standard Jeep YJ/TJ, especially w/ a diesel engline. And to pay ~$17,000, too :lol: I've got a 94 4.0 YJ with 105k miles on 31s, 1 1/4" lift shackles, rear locker, and removable snorkle. Other than these minor add ons, it ...

Trapper 44mag and Super Blackhawk are my hog hunting lever and back up.

Hopefully I'll be able to get a hog with the Ruger some time soon.

Here's a pic of few levergun/single action combos. I took this a couple of years ago. I've since added another 22lr and 44mag combo in a levergun/single action. http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e307/meanc/gun%20stuff/combo1.jpg Now here's a couple I recently picked up just for the kids (when they g...

Have no idea what a "thermocup" is, but if you're referring to the barrel/cylinder gap from factory (as new) they can range from .003"-.006" and greater.

I'd set the barrel as tight as possible while still maintaining proper sight alignment.

meanc

I don't know if you realize this or not, but you can adjust the rear sight to the left.

Go ahead and recenter the front sight again, then move the rear sight a tad to the left.

LEO purchases are all made by contract, most departments placing orders 6 months to a year in advance. Example, a large SO Cal pd placed orders for duty and practice ammo in .308 and .223 , quanity in excess of 1.5 million rounds in November for delivery this month. Because the order is prepaid by ...

I've got a question for you California dwellers.

What are the laws regarding firearm registration now?

meanc

For a semi auto 22 there are so many choices. I've had the Model 60, Win 190, Remington 597 and 10/22s Right now I still have the Win 190 and the two 10/22s. All three feed flawlessly with Remington Goldens, mini mags, and stingers. The 10/22s are more for the kids when they get bigger, but they are...

just checked Gunbroker for some of the LP primer auctions that closed in the past 24hrs.

people are still paying upwards of $70 plus shipping per 1000.

kind of makes me happy to look at my primer stash.

at least it's good to know my emergency fund portfolio has been expanded.

meanc

I'm certain that if its suitable for the 45colt, there shouldn't be a problem using it in the 44mag.

But I'd definitely start a few grains lower than Pacos starting load for the 45 colt

meanc

Well, there are some pretty good reasons to have 3-9x scope during hunting. I know of many places that have restrictions on the type of deer you take legally (doe,spike, buck,etc...) with emphasis on the size and pts of the antlers. With my 3-9x I'm good out to around 300yds for verifying whether or...

meanc

Let me know how teenage and toddler kids worked out for you.

meanc

I've bypassed all that confusion.

Every pistol caliber firearm I own is a recent production Ruger, Marlin, or Winchester.

So no fear of touching off one of those "Ruger Only" loads in something that can't handle it.

meanc

I plan on bidding, but 30 plus days to go is a loooooong time.

meanc

Well, I shortened my 20" Ranger to 16 1/2" a year or two ago myself. Also shortened the magtube, cut and crowned the barrel, and cut a dovetail. Prior to this, I was getting 1.75" groups at 100yds with Win 150gr PP and around 1.25" grps with 170gr PP and nothing has changed excep...

JR,

GET THE WINCHESTER !!!!!!!! At $450 that would have already been out to the range and sighted in. I may be prejudiced against the Marlin 1894 because of my personal "double feeding" and "Marlin Jam" issues. I now own two Win94 tang safety Trappers that haven't had any issues wit...

meanc

As Griff stated, it could be a few things. Using that load works the brass considerably and could cause out of spec primer pockets. This could allow for loose primers which can allow blow back thru the flash hole. A headspace problem would also allow a primer to back out giving you the same effect. ...

just let the members suggest the sections, with the help of the good,noble and very brave site Boss's , If you've read this or the other "site change" threads, you can clearly see that the majority of members suggest keeping it as is. I'll add that a lot of folks here have also spoken wit...

There'll come a day when 1000 primers will be worth far more than a rifle, a months supply of food, fuel, etc.. A lot of people thought the same thing about oil and the housing market. :lol: I'm certain that if primers reach that kind of value, private firearm/ammo ownership will have already been ...

If it's going to be a house or range gun only, then I wouldn't bother with one. I do think any hunting rifle needs a sling.

There are several ways to attach one without putting holes in the stock and I'm sure the links above show one of these.

meanc

I remember reading the original post back a while, but don't remember seeing any pictures of used targets or the holes.

Do you have any uploaded to give me an idea of what they would look like?

Older production Golden 39s from the 50's to the 90s should be good to go. I've read of problems with current quality control as of late with Marlin (as well as many other mfgs) so I myself wouldn't try one, especially with so many older quality pieces available. I'm sure if they work correctly they...

meanc

Here's a pretty good read on them.

http://www.chuckhawks.com/marlin_golden_39A.htm

I've got a 1957 mountie 39a and a 1980s version 336 with microgroove rifling. I can tell you now, they are more accurate than most non competition class firearms.

meanc

I believe so. Don't recall any others.

Welcome to the world of the Ruger Vaquero. :lol: Every Vaquero I've ever owned or still have shot low and left with my hunting ammo. At 25yds they shoot almost 10 inches low and 5 inches left. Out of the Blackhawks, with the same loads, my POA=POI. Without modification, the best you can hope for is ...

Yeah, I like my SA and Levers. All Rugers except the Colt Frontier.

Well, I guess I've been blessed with the Goldens. I started off with just the one box. They shot so accurately with no failures that I went out and bought the remaining 8 boxes. Luckily seven of them were the same lot number I've gone thru almost three bricks in the past couple of weeks. Thru two di...

I picked up about 4 boxes of the Xperts a few years ago. They cycled flawlessly in my levers and all went bang. I seem to recall them being pretty accurate but also a little dirty. I've actually got one of the boxes left too. Now, I really like the Remington Golden HPs. More accurate than I need the...

meanc

The box states 1150fps but I assume that's from a pistol.

Just checking to see what kind of gains others have seen out of their levers.

meanc

For me Oregon Trail Laser Hard Cast is perfect for hunting and plinking. Cost to me was a consideration at first, then I found out how accurate they can be. A few of the pros for me. With my loads I usually get between 1.5" - 2" groups at 100yds. The 255gr SWC 45colt and 240gr SWC 44mag at...

My father reloaded for his Browning 12ga and used to interchange his loads with 540ms and HS-6. So I'm sure those two powders are on par with each other. I know HS-6 can easily be used for all of the 357mag 44mag 45colt rounds and load data can be found on Hodgdon's reloading page. By seeing where i...

meanc

Out of my Trapper, factory Remington and Winchester 170gr loads have all come in around 1950fps. Out of my 20" 336, both are around 2025fps.

I've only used the reloading manuals' max load with the Rem 170gr (almost all are for 24" barrels) and I've not gotten up to 2100fps for the Trapper.

meanc

I'd look for something cheaper.

That price is bordering a "NIB" specimen.

But, if it's something you really want and have been looking for one a while, I'd skip the rest of the looking and hoping and pick it up.
