Grandad had in his will, that if anyone contested the will, all they would get would be $25. Cut down on SOME of the bickering. If you go this route, check with the lawyer that it is legal in your state. Check with the lawyer and ask them if you are the trustee, that you can do whatever you want wit...

I had shingles years ago. One thing I came up with was taking some hydrocortisone cream, about marble size amount, and mixing it with a generic baby oragel cream, a glob about green pea sized and mixing together, like epoxy. spread over the affected area. Will help numb the area and seems to help he...

I have made small stuff with my mini-mill (more a bench mill) and use it for drilling. My lathe I have used much more. Not a machinist, more a tinkerer if anything. Wouldn't insult a real machinist by claiming to be one.

Rockrat

I only really hang out at three forums. Cast Boolits, Leverguns and Accurate Shooter. Been on CB for about 20 years, then Leverguns and finally A/S. Learned a lot from all three forums usually browse all three at least once a day.

Thats a pretty hatefull thing to say and really has no business on this site. We are better than that here

They have been getting hit with a lot of Spam Bots that have been taking up most of their bandwidth. Something on the order of 31,000 spam bots. Slowing things way down, even for members, worse for non-members

Rockrat

Godspeed for her and peace to you for your loss.

Rockrat

Nice snag of one of the Buckeye guns. You don't see them too often. Wish I would have kept my Marlin 32mag.

Rockrat

I have a full size Blackhawk and a Single seven in 32mag/327 and find I like the Single Seven more to shoot. In a rifle, all I have is a '92 in 32-20, although I did have a Marlin 32mag that I foolishly sold. Just like the convenience of carbide dies. Don't think I have ever shot a single 327 round....

Rockrat

Had a Win 94, but hated the rebounding hammer, so got rid of it. This was about 20 years ago. About 10 years ago I picked up a Marlin Cowboy in 45 Colt. So much better.

Rockrat

Might try and stop by.

Rockrat

As SW asked, what are you using now.? SW has powders close to unique and 2400, looking at their burn rate chart.

Rockrat

I have used Shooters World Precision, which I really like, and Shooters World Match with good results. Wish I had bought more when the prices were lower than other powders
I have some AR plus for when I need a H335 clone

Rockrat

Will see if I can find the data

IIRC it uses Lil Gun

With my Bee, I can get 3K fps with a 50gr bullet and great accuracy. 26" bbl on my #1

I-70 in Colorado can be pretty bad too

Mine hit early August last year. Still can see the faded Weiss ring. Floaters disappeared after about 6 months. Things didn't affect my rifle shooting (right handed) but I have stayed away from the heavy recoil guns, but did affect my pistol shooting (left handed) for awhile. Eye strain trying to fo...

Rockrat

Does sound like you are close to max spec on headspace. try getting an automotive feeler gauge set and take a pair of sharp scissors and cut a piece of the .003" blade to fit in the bolt face flat and then try to close on a live round. I would take a factory round and use a set of wire stripper...

Think I read somewhere that the average person will eat 8 spiders in their lifetime, while they are asleep

Our snakes came out two weeks ago. some met my "sharpshooter "shovel. Think one might have gotten away.

Rockrat

Yep, people don't realize what you can do with a 22lr handgun. Not a Single Six, but a Buckmark is what I used going after prairie dogs, with my neighbor using a scoped 9422. Loser paid for dinner at our Golden Corral (long gone). I sure enjoyed that meal, neighbor grumbled all thru the meal.

Rockrat

Sorry to hear of your loss and prayers up for strength.

Rockrat

If you can find any MP300, it works very well in the 357mag rifle.

Rockrat

I had a cat like that. When I got out the pellet rifle, she would come over and start looking in the trees to see if I was going to shoot something that might interest her. If I missed, she would give me a disgusted look and walk off.

Rockrat

You can with the new models but you have to trim the case a bit. Then you resize with a 30 carbine size die. Only problem, is that the case wall thickness of the 32-20 case is so much less than the 30 carbine, you might not have enough neck tension to properly hold the bullet.

Rockrat

I remember going thru Prescott, AZ, back in the mid-60's and going into a gun shop and seeing a'92 in 357 mag. I was only 10 at the time but that gun really caught my eye. Didn't have any luck trying to talk parents into getting the thing for me for a Christmas present many years down the road. Alwa...

Rockrat

From what I have read over on Accurate Shooter, the Tikka is the one to get. If it was me, I would get one in .308 win., but that said, if they made one in 358 win., I might just have to get that instead. If you are shooting cast, lots of moulds available

Rockrat

Maybe they will make one in 45 acp!!!!

What about keeping your phone, when you travel, in a Faraday bag? Would be like turning off the phone after you disabled tracking.

Rockrat

a 1-15" twist should be more than enough and as far as barrel dimensions, what action are you going to use? I had a Pedersoli Sharps rebored to 50 AK by JES so chamber/muzzle dimensions have plenty of "meat". Now, an 1895 Marlin might be getting fairly thin.

On the other side of CO and 2 degrees this morning, calling for minus 2 tonight. No snow, looks like it was mainly a Front Range event, like a lot of the recent snows. Mountains down South are doing OK though, as well as the Aspen/Crested Butte area. We need snow here. Pretty dry.

Lot of the "drones" they show, if you look close, are probably commercial airliners. For some reason, it seems like all the videos are blurred. One video I saw, looked fairly focused and you could just about see what was in the air, then all of a sudden, it went out of focus, like someone ...

Rockrat

Loaded some 130 Speer FP for a friends Savage 24. It shot tiny groups @100yds also. Only drawback is that the loads seem louder than factory stuff so I guess muzzle pressure might be a bit higher. Probably would work better in a 24" barreled rifle

Rockrat

Mine, although not light, works pretty well. Its a 22 cal XISICO, model 46, underlever. Best pellets in it are a "crow magnum" which also shoots well in my rws48. Pellets I am using now are a copper plated pellet. Shot the plain old Crossman round nose fairly well too. The XISICO is a bit ...

Rockrat

Haven't played with it, but it looks a lot like what you would have when seating a 455 Webley bullet in a 45 Special case (45 acp case with a rim like a 45 colt case). Does look like a quick reload would be the end result just like you said.

Rockrat

Think its just another name for a convection oven, but with a higher price tag

when I take melatonin, it is usually 2.5-3 mg. at the most

Have you tried Melatonin to help you sleep? 3-5 mg.

Probably some of the stuff he used in Apache Blue is no longer available. Was great stuff and was sad when I was about out.

Some of those really fit!!!

Loved Paco's AB lube but since I can't get it anymore, I use White Label Caranuba Blue lube on pretty well all smokeless loads without any issues. I powder coat some Boolits and on some rifle slugs that I plan on going above 2000fps, I coat the boolit with a much thinned LLA before I run them thru t...

Had a mule deer come thru the yard a few times late last Fall, and she only had a bit of hair on her rump about the size of my hand. No hair otherwise, anywhere. Thought "winters coming and she won't make it". Turned cold and never saw her again.

Rockrat

Take the battery cable off, let sit for 5 min, and re-attach. Code should have been cleared.

Rockrat

I have had good luck with Aquila and most anything CCI. My Federal was bought in bulk packs at least 20 years ago--good stuff!! Subsonic is usually CCI subsonic hp or Norma match

Rockrat

Anyone use TW25b lube in the cold? Understand its used on the Vulcan 20 mm and I figure if the Viper is cruising at 35K it pretty cold up that high, so might work well.

Rockrat

Probably nearing 80K psi.!!!

Rockrat

On some things like 9mm, maybe be cheaper to buy, but for so much else, reloading is a lot cheaper. I can load 45-70 350gr lead bullet loads for about $8 a box, vs the gun show price this last weekend of $60 a box. Hate to think what a box of 32-20 cost, or 44-40 or 45 Colt, but bet I can save a lot...

Rockrat

Wish I would have taken a few pics of the thing. Octagon barrel also. Never did see it leave or on a table. Someone must have bought/traded for it and put it away in a case.

While helping check in guns at our local show, guy came in with an 1894 in 30 WCF. 5 digit s/n (palindrome also) with a pistol grip stock and what looked like a 28" barrel (nickle steel). Supposedly made in 1897. Was trying to get him to price it, but he never would. Not a 94 fan, but somehow t...

You might be able to send a few bullets to Tom at Accurate moulds and he should be able to duplicate it in one of his great moulds.

Friend of mine had one long ago. Kept it in its storage crate. Said it kicked like a mule and went thru steel like a hot knife thru butter. Long gone.
