In Alaska the .410 is used for mainly two thing shooting grouse and halibut.The snake charmer shotguns are very popular in Alaska on boats to shoot hudge fish with.I have lots of friends that use the 410 for grouse for head shots.The down side .410 ammo is very expensive.Its usually 4 to 5 times mor...

I was suprised the 327 federal sp101 Ruger was $439 .It was $10 cheaper than the same gun in a sp 101 in 32 H&R mag.They were both side by side and looked them same.You can shoot 32 H&R mag in the 327 federal.I think it would be awesome in a Winchester model 92 or a Marlin 1894.I think someo...

I was in my favorite gun shop and looked in the corner and there was a Winchester tribute in 22 mag.The gunshop owner said it had been on their racks for $599 for a year.They put it on gun broker and it sold for $850 first time.I wish I had bought that gun.The wood was awesome.There were 9422 of the...

They had the pistol a 4" sp101 327 Federal but no ammo.Its kinda funny but no brass or ammo is to be found.Thats the first 327 Federal I have seen in the flesh.I hope a lever gun comes out in it.

The last gun show I attended in Georgia was a hudge disapointment.They had 10 times more nongun stuff than guns.They had blankets,flags ,toy cars and everything except lots of guns and ammo.One of the guys selling guns said the area had become so crime ridden and the areas gun buyers had moved away ...

With the price of scrap brass way up you are going to have a hard time finding any brass on ranges.I picked up 4 wheel borrow loads of brass a few years back mostly pistol stuff and 308 and 223 military stuff.I couldnt hardly give it away when I moved.Now its selling for about .07 each at least and ...

Walmart is killing the made in USA label.I quit buying anything except food from them after they quit selling guns.They have turned into a made in Chinia junk store.I had so much stuff I bought break from there I started sending a little more and getting way better stuff.We have to get made in the U...

I only got cold in Alaska twice.The wind chill was -95 once and -125 other time.I couldnt warm up for some reason.The coldest actual temp I have ever seen is -73.My truck froze in Jan and I thawed it out about the second week of may.Its only chilly at -30 kinda cold at -45 when propane quits flowing...

I had problems getting into leverguns and the ruger forum.Is there a winchester forum anywhere?I know there use to be a marlin forum but it disapeared.I do like leverguns alot.

My model 92 in 357 mag feed either 357 or 38 special.I mostly reloaded speer 158 gr hp.I use to get then at gun shows for $9 a box making free range picked up brass ,primers ,powder and bullets about $12 a box of 100 or $6 a box of 50 .It was very cheap to shoot.It liked both 357 and 38 special equa...

And this is during the bush years when we are supose to be flying high .Its gonna get way worse if demirats get in which I hope they dont.I dont see any more ranges being built.One city I lived in want to donate the old dump to the sportsman club to turn into a range.They declined because it would b...

I like the model 92 Brownings better than the winchesters too.I had the 357 92 which feed like butter.I think that if I had found out why the case split in the rear I would have kept it.I may have accidently over charged it with my reloader.I think it was a weak case because I never have over charge...

When its the only outdoor 100 yard range for 100 miles its hard to boycott it.I would have never thought things would come to as they are on this range.The other public range which is closed until further notice was trashed.People shot old tvs computers and left all the trash.I guess the state saqw ...

Thats why I reduced my guns to mostly 338 and 416 caliber.I still have 375 winchester ,264 win mag,243 winchester,30-06 and 308.I tried to reduce the calibers I reload for.I have a dillion 550 which usually spits out about 300 rifler rounds an hour and about 500 pistol rounds.I have bought a bunch o...

I was very suprised when the range I use to get brass from banned picking it up.If you clean up your own brass before it hits the ground its fine but some guns throw brass and you cant pick it up off of the ground.They use to have a guy who cleaned up the range for the brass now the state gets it to...

I had a favorite shooting range 15 miles from our farm.The forest service determined it unsafe ten decided to turn the range 90 degrees .Then they decided to charge to shoot then they decided that you could no longer shoot skeet or clays there because of clean up then they decided they needed a paid...

The price of gas,ammo and reloading is cutting way back on my shooting days.I have to drive 60 miles to a range .They have even started banning picking up brass on the range so they can sell it for scrap.Reloading bullets and powder has gone way up.I use to about cover my gas from picking up brass b...

Its the only way we will save hunting for future generations.If each of us took 20 kids that didnt have a chance to go hunting we could save hunting.I have taken 16 so far and I plan on taking many more.I hope your kids get to hunt with their grandkids.Hunting and fishing is something that you can d...

I shot a friends 470 capstick this summer.It was firing a 600 gr bullet at 2400 fps.I shot my 416 Rem mag the same day.It made my 416 seem like a 410 vs a light weight 10 ga.Did I like it ,yes.I will build my own some day.Try past pads.I have shot my 416 150 times in one day after I shot my 338s 300...

I paid $350 for the one I bought 6 years ago.I shot the heck out of it till one day it split a 38 with 38 specials.I saw a few of them at gunpecial case at the rim in half.I guess it was a bad case.It was accurate but I didnt trust it after the split case.I sold it and wish I had refinished the bang...

I like my 375 Big bore 94 xtr rifles best of any model 94s I have ever had.The worst 94 was a tie between the 1973 30-30 my dad gave me that lost all the bluing to the reciever and the last 94s made I bought in 25-35 winchester.I could almost pull the stocks off of those.The wood fit was horrible an...

The army used the henry rifle rifle during the civil war then went backwards to the Trapdoor springfield.I am suyprised the major companies didnt push the lever guns more for the army more than they did.Was it because the army thought it was a waste of ammo or did thye lever guns not hold up.I would...

dgr416

I wish they would make some new ammo for the 375 winchester.It would be nice to have leverevolotion ammo for it also.

dgr416

I think the 375 winchester would be awesome in a Remington model 788 or a savage bolt action.I would really like a classy light weight double in it built on a 410 frame.The valmet over and under 375 winchester is a rare bird too as is the savage 1899 in the 375 winchester.I missed a Ruger #3 for $35...

I had acutally used some lead from old refillable batteries for jig heads for fishing.The sealed batteries lead can not escape so its always dangerous.We have used wheel weights many times to make pistol bullets many times.I always made them with a fan outside.I also used the sheets of lead and lead...

I am thinking about buying a friends model 92 puma in 454 .I was wondering if everyones gun and stock was holding up.I have seen a few crack the stocks at the tang.Its like sicking a 45-70 s power in a model 92.I need to shoot it before I buy it .I was wondering how accurate ther were also.

dgr416

Guess I am selling my batteries and looking for lead for bullets,I have been digging out a bunch of my old sheets of lead.

dgr416

If you use aa1680 and 235 gr speer bullets as a single shot you will be very suprised.I shot 1" groups with my rifle.I started with 35 grs and worked up to 38 grs.I also loaded 300 gr fmj bullet with aa1680.They are pretty accurate.I also loaded the 220 gr hornady bullets up to 2400 fps with aa...

I had about 25 batteries so I figured thyat something could be done with them.Lead is now about .62 a pound.I usually get lead coated sheetrock or old lead plumbers lead.Its getting harder to find.I was told boat batteries that are rechargeable were different than car batteries.I guess they are not....

dgr416

I have a bunch of old batteries and wanted to know how to get the lead out safely for batteries.They are boat batteries which have more lead in them.I was told that baking soda and water will neturalize the battery acid.Lead is pretty high these days and old boat batteries are pretty cheap.Its worth...

I would really like to see a model 94 in the 357 maxium.I know its a long shot but it sure would be alot of fun.I think a 308 marlin necked to either 6.5mm or .257 would be a nice rifle.I think there is alot of wondering what calibers will they bring back.I think the 375 winchester with leverevoluti...

dgr416

I hope that they made it in 25-35.There were way to few made on the last run.I know the 38-55 was also popular.I think the 375 winchester would outsell the 38-55.I think a new model for long range would lelp.A 25-35 improved would be awesome and maybe a 338 lever gun also.

dgr416

I also had a Browning model 92 in 357.I really liked it except I split a case in it.I pounded it open with a wooden mallet.I sold it after that wish I hadnt.It was very cheap to reload for and didnt kick at all.I hope i find another one some day.

They have been maki ng parts for the model 94 in South Carolinia.A friend in a gun store knows a woman who works in the plant there.They have been making model 94 partys for some time.I hope they make somne new good afordable 25-35s.I hope there is intrest in other calibers besides 30-30.I would lov...

dgr416

I wish Ruger would put the new 327 federal in their model 96 that would be a sweet little gun.They should also chamber it for 357 maxium.They made up a few 357 max autos but never released them.I still want a 357 maxium lever gun.I almost had a browning model 92 rechambered to 357 maxium but it woul...

dgr416

I wish they would make another batch of 405s.I think a 100 year model would be awesome for the Teddy Roosevelt Safari that made it famous.I was suprised that they didnt make a teddy Roosevelt model.

dgr416

I think the 375 winchester is the best cartridge ever chambered in the model 94 bar none.It has way more knock down power than the 30-30 and has alot of bullets to choose from.I have used from 200-300 gr fmj bullets in mine.I like the aa1680 powder best of all powders.I like the 235 gr speer bullets...

dgr416

I bought both my stainless old army for $250 and blued one for $200 a few years back.They are awesome guns.Ruger also quit making their RSM dangerous game rifles for the cheaper 375 Hawkeye which breaks both stocks it comes in.You will see alot more cost cutting.They quit making the 220 swift also.I...

I have had 5 25-35s and plan to get another or build one.I was wondering about the contender carbine barrels in 25-35.I almost had a savage 1899 in a 25-35 but it slipped through my hands.I think if winchester makes a good hunting version again in the 25-35 it will sell.You need brass and ammo thoug...

I have two Ruger old armys one stainless one blued.I just fired my blued one with pellets for the first timer.They were not very accurate but sure did speed up loading time.They were 30 gr pettets noncrossive.Its fun to shoot them .I will buy some new caps the ones i shot were almost 25 years old co...

dgr416

I just read about the 327 Mag.I think it would be awesome in a lever gun.I wonder if anyone here has made a 357 maxium in a model 94 yet?

dgr416

I think model 94s with there short over all length are awesome.I can stuff 8 rounds in it also.Thats a good bit of firepower.I trust the 375 winchester alot better than a 223.Here in Alaska you might have anything in your garbage if you leave it out,which i dont.I should get a ramline stock so my 37...

The 375 Winchester looks like a small express rifle when loaded with the 300 gr fmj.It would be awesome to have about a 6 pound double rifle made with the 375 winchester.Its alot more powerful than its size shows.I shot side by side with a friend who was shooting a 7.62x39.The 375 winchester explode...

My 375 winchester throws a 220 gr at 2400 fps.I did have trouble with some loads not feeding but I think I found the problem.I use up to 300 gr fmj bullets for my first shot.I like the 235 gr speer bullets best.

dgr416

I use my 375 big bore as my house gun in Alaska.Its a bit small for grizzleys but I load 300 gr fmj for the first shot.I guess it would work up close.I also have my 454 rugers too .I think the 375 winchester is kinda small but I have yet to prove it.When I know I have bears I load my 416 Rem mag up.

I just saw on the news where a cities water tank was hit new years.They were having to drain it all the way down to fix it.It was in Georgia I think where there is a severe drought.
