Re: Mouse Loads

I have a 73 clone in 32-20 (rifle - 24" barrel). I throw the minimum charge of trail boss (from the Hodgdon data) with the 115 gr rnfp. Out of the 24" barrel it is very quiet.

Re: S&W Schofield 2000

Is the case too short to adjust a 45 Colt die? I mean I have dies that say 38sp/357mag/max. That is a lot of length difference I tried it. The short answer is that it doesn't really work. 45 Schofield cases won't fit in an RCBS #20 shell holder (for 45 Colt) so I, again, used an RCBS #6 shell holde...

Re: S&W Schofield 2000

Bought 1 Saturday. Think can load with my 45acp dies. The short answer is - it works - sort of. A #3 RCBS Shell holder (45 ACP) won't work (of course). A #20 RCBS shell holder (45 Colt) doesn't work either. I used an RCBS #6 which, I think, is a 45 Auto Rim shell holder. The #6 works but there's so...

Re: S&W Schofield 2000

Bought 1 Saturday. Think can load with my 45acp dies. I load 45 Schofield using 45 Schofied dies. My first inclination is to say what you want to do won't give a full length resize and probably won't crimp right. 45 Schofield is a good bit longer than 45 ACP or 45 Auto Rim. Also, while the 45 Schof...

Re: How is the 24" barrel on a Marlin 39a?

I have a 39a with the 24" barrel and my daughter has one too. I like the 24" barrel. We've shot them a good bit at the range and hunted with them too. The 39s do take down if you need to store or carry one in a smaller space. The longer barrel also has the advantage that if one shoots stan...

Re: Dirty Harry 44?

In the early series of the Dirty Harry movies the model 25 wasn't even around and it sure wasn't an original 1950 target in 45 Colt ...there's only a few of them around. In the later series Clint used big caliber autos like the wildly and the 44 auto mag I don't believe Hollywood would have had any...

Re: Dirty Harry 44?

I don't know if it's true or not, but years ago I had heard that some of the scenes were done with a 29 but the scenes where he was firing were done with a Model 25 in 45 Colt so that they could use 5 in one blanks (I think those were available smokeless too). I have a 25 from that era and a friend ...

Excellent! You didn't say where they were in your post and neither did I. When I did this the CBC held most of their races in Tabernash at Snow Mountain Ranch (most people would call that Winter Park but it's actually beyond Frasier) with maybe one a race a year in Frisco, Durango and maybe Steambo...

Re: Biathalon?

I can't speak to the skiing side of Biathalon. But I have participated (yea it's been a few years) in a mud biathalon. Think running and shooting with lots of mud, sand and hills. With that in mind, the two most important things are physical conditioning and learning to control ones breathing, when...

Re: Biathalon?

Forgot to mention - Biathlon requires a shooting sling too but it's different than a lot of shooting slings. You wear a cuff on your upper arm with a ring or something similar on it - as I recall, the "ring" on mine was triangular. The shooting sling on the rifle is a strap with a hook on ...

Re: Biathalon?

Hi, I rarely post but I'll chime in on this one. Forgive me if I say something you already know Nordic skiing is a big subject with a lot of variations. Also, I don't mean to offend anyone but shooters get excited about the shooting side of biathlon but it's the skiing that matters most. If one isn'...

Re: Boy Scouts is pretty much gone and dead.....

Bill, The religious awards are still there. Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts and American Heritage Girls all use the same religious awards but I'm not sure if Trail Life does or not. There are 4 awards in the generic Protestant version and 4 in the Catholic version, some other denominations and faiths don't ...

Re: Boy Scouts is pretty much gone and dead.....

We are concerned about what the future may hold too, and not just for the Scouts. There is speculation among some leaders about what the next move may be. I do think it is important to remember that this isn't the first time something like this has happened. In the 60's there was an attempt to "...

Re: Boy Scouts is pretty much gone and dead.....

Hi, I'm new here but I've lurked here for many years. This is a great site! I think the BSA has made several bad decisions in the last few years but some things are being misrepresented or misunderstood. World Scouting (not the BSA) allows - possibly now requires condoms at the World Jamboree - this...
