Yeah, its Canadian ammo (Canadian Industries Limited IIRC). I shot many a round of their 22lr stuff. It was great ammo and seemed to be a bit higher powered than even WW super-x. My Mod. 39A really liked it. Still have some somewhere

Rockrat

Congrats.

A parallel to my story. I was a 2 lb. preemie and if I had survived, Doc said that I would be short and scrawny. Good Lord had other plans as when I graduated from college (a long time ago), I was 6'4" and 230 lbs.

Rockrat

Or an L frame 41 special!!

Rockrat

I have a 2-7x -32 Nikon on my 35 Rem. Nothing fancy on the crosshairs and its fairly compact. 1" tube

Rockrat

Plus, you might be able to haggle with the CB owner and get it a bit cheaper

Rockrat

I understand that Lyman is coming out with a line of Sonicore Suppressors. I understand that they are $199 to $299. Aluminum tubes and stainless baffles

Rockrat

If you got the 1893, once you ship it to JES and have it re-bored/rechambered, you would be at about $1,300. All depends on which rifle you really want. Having your 336 done would be the least strain to your wallet.

Rockrat

What were they asking for the Cowboy rifle? Just curious

Rockrat

Had a 50-70 win. Ruger #1 made by SSK. Working with Lil Gun powder and 750gr bullets, I got some pretty decent speed. IIRC 1500fps. Bad part was, the recoil would bring tears to your eyes after about three shots and a bruised shoulder after those 3. Great group but not worth it!! Shot a friends AR50...

Rockrat

And you probably don't want to go above level 2 loads. The gun is light and it will beat the snot out of you at level 2.

Rockrat

Try a little vegetable oil first, rub vigorously, wipe off, then the GOJO

Rockrat

Wife and I went to Shiloh one afternoon. As the day went on and it was close to closing time(we were the last car there) and getting a bit darker, I could almost feel eyes on me. All around me. Wife felt it to. I saluted them and thanked them for their sacrifice and we left. Only then did the hair o...

Rockrat

Try the Speer 130gr hot core and Leverevolution powder

Rockrat

I shoot the Speer 130gr fp for deer under 200yds. Load it in the 308 at a more 30-30 +p level, somewhere around 2750 fps. More than enough horsepower for whitetail

Rockrat

Yes. Good friend of mine had a Browning Bar in 308 win (boy, he regrets selling that) that would normally shoot about 2-3" @100yds, but if he concentrated on his hold, it would shoot under an inch at the same range. Any slight deviation and groups would open up rapidly

Rockrat

Been a life member for over 50 years. I get the annual issue that has the voting stuff, but nothing the rest of the year. Been that way for about 20 years

Rockrat

Good video. Thanks for posting that

Rockrat

The 20 footers around here are about $4500 nowadays

Rockrat

Try powder coating first and then try some powder coated and then coated with some lee liquid alox. In a 35 Whelen I had, cast were so-so, same with PC, but on a whim, I tried running some PC slugs thru my lubrisizer to lube them and boy, did my Whelen like that! Maybe 1.5"@100yds at about 2100...

Rockrat

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...

Rockrat

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.

Rockrat

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

Rockrat

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

Rockrat

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

Rockrat

I-70 in Colorado can be pretty bad too

Rockrat

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...

Rockrat

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!!!!

Rockrat

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.

Rockrat

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.

Rockrat

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 ...
