7mm-08 for a Browning BBR, heavy barrel. Browning-Miroku M1885 Traditional Hunter, 30 WCF. Both rifles and loads consistently shot 7/8"- 1 1/8" 5 or 10 shot groups at 100 yds. The 7mm-08 really shined at 200 yards. The .223 hotshots had an attitude change about the 30 WCF after shooting it...

Stock up at low prices while you can. If and I hope not, the GOP loses the 2026 and the 208 elections, the democrats will produce anti-firearm bills. As a result, prices up, supply down. It has happened before.

Colleagues: did a search on the Marlin Owners' board and the problem I mentioned was in 2013 with the Remington/Marlin rifles. Sorry for the misinformation. Mea culpa, mea maxim culpa.

Ray Newman

Log onto the Marlin owners site: https://www.marlinowners.com/forums/ Looks like you have a 1895 LTD. From what I read on the Marlin site, there were 4 variants (maybe 5?). I had the original LTD variant. Each variant was slightly different. If memory serves me there were about 2000 of each variant ...

Our son now has my old Stevens SXS 16 gauge. I just used it for small game hunting.

This thread made me think of when I was teenage the old timers said of the 16: "Swings like a 20, hits like a 12."

Out of curiosity, I just checked the Midway USA site for H-4198. Now "mixed availability." An 8 lbs. container listed at US $459.99, 1lb. $65.99. As for IMR 42198, same price, now out of stock.

Semper Fidelis to all US Marines past and present! I served in the Corps 6/64 - 3/68, Vietnam 7/65 - 3/67. Back then there were a few WW II and pre-WW II Marines still on active duty. The old salts often said/complained the 1960's Corps was not like the pre-WW II and WW II "Old Corps." Lat...

Lat week, I had 2-3 days of no problems. Then the same issues started up once again and each day it seemed to be worse than previous. Now if the page does not load quickly, I just close it out.

Brings back memories of a 95 I once thought about buying. It was a .30-03 and I foolishly let it go to another home. Long gone days of youth when I did not know any better....

Smart move that your father has a trust. Now are you the executor? In your initial post you said you your father "left me in charge." Sounds like you are, arrange a meeting with the lawyer who drafted the trust to go over it with you and answer your concerns/questions. Some of your concern...

My thoughts --You never stated if your dad has a will or trust and who is executor. If the estate requires probate court, believe the court will require an estate appraisal. Did your father put anything in writing? Discuss this with your father's attorney for advice as how to determine the value of ...

Gunsmith or shade tree gunsmith fabricated for two calibers. Before the sprue plate invention, there were special cutters to cut the lead stem off the ball or bullet. Some shooters had a jig that when cranked would move the ball around to form a more perfect ball.

What brass are you loading -- .375 Winchester or .38-55 Winchester? Back-In-the-Last-Century, I shot with a guy who had a re-barreled Winchester M1885, .38-55.

COSteve: you are not alone when thinking about the cost factor. Back in the last century, the local gun shop had .22Magnum for about US $5.50 for a 100 round box.
