Let’s see in all the Marlin levers I had there were a good many straight and I never really noticed any difference . In shotguns both SxS and O/U I e had both straight and pg and I gotta say I can do equally well or equally bad depending on your perspective with either . Bolt action rifles the only ...

Great to see you posting again Nath! Cheers to you! I just thought of this.... With the wide variety of game you have to harvest over there, I would think that either a Drilling (3 bores: 16 ga, .22 Magnum insert (an Einstecklauf) in one 16 bore, and an 8mm Mauser barrel below), or a Bockbuschflint...

Back when I had a few Marlin 1894’s in 41 MAG I was eager to find gas check molds . At the time Lyman had one and at the times RCBS was making their 41 mold n a GC version , later they made it plain base . Anyway the gas checks were a bit difficult to get as well . Finally Gator checks became availa...

Be careful how many max 454 loads you shoot in a revolver. My Super Red Hawk has had around 600 near max loads through it and the bottom of the top strap has significant gas cutting where the cylinder and forcing cone gap is. Had 2 gunsmiths look at it and both said the cutting is deep enough to be...

I’ve owned a pile of lever actions but none now , I’ve owned another pile of single shots , owned a few semi auto’s , no centerfire pumps and a mountain of bolt guns . Bear in mind I tend to go with collectible or a bit more pricey bolt guns 95% of the time . Started with a Remington 700 , then went...

I’d liked to have had one of the supposed to be Marlin 1895RL’s they advertised as being in 480 . Think they had them in the yearly catalog two years in a row but to the best of my knowledge NONE ever saw the light of day . This was in pre Remington days the same time they made the 1894CB in 32 H&am...

I bought a Rossi/Puma 1892 in 480 Ruger NIB from a now deceased friend that had a gunshop . Had him order it for me , so when it arrived I paid him and took it home . It sat in my safe unfired for two years . I never liked anything about it , nothing against those that like them . I eventually trade...

I’ve had whitetail , mulie , fallow and sika but as of yet no axis . But I vividly remmember John Wooters writing that he thought Blackbuck , Axis and Nilgai were the three most palatable exotics . Now I’m rather partial to sika but I’d like to try some axis .

I was partial to the Lyman 358156 . Had SWC molds and a SWC HP mold as well . I also had a mold that I’ve forgotten the actual number but it was a 215 grain SWC GC Lyman that was if memory serves initially made for the IHMSA guys to use in the 357 MAX , anyway that one shot very well for me in a cou...

I wrote a couple articles for “The Fouling Shot” close to twenty years ago . The first was about a Marlin 1892 32 cal and shooting squirrels with a 90 grain home cast heel bullet . Which worked its way into some tree rat guns talked about cast bullet loads in the 32 Long Colt , 218 Bee , 25-20 , 32-...

So if this stuff is about the same as 572 it should work in the 10 , 12 , 16 , 20 and possibly 28 gauge guns . There is quite a thread on "Castboolits" under the "Factory & Surplus Powder" topic. One fellow sent some 28 Gauge loads out for testing -- said in that application...

Ah Yeah, I make Venison Chili often, and I change up often on how I eat it and Sour Cream is great with it. But my favorite use of Venison is in my stew! Haven't had chili with sour cream for a while, believe I'll thaw some burger to fix it next few days! I’ve got a stew I make also in the crockpot...

Decided to try making chili with venison a couple days ago . Googled it and found what sounded easy enough recipe . And tonight I gave it a go .

Seems as though there is a wide disparity of performance by USPS, UPS, FedEx, etc., depending upon where you live. Our semi-rural USPS route is constantly maned or womaned by a makeup driver and mail is delivered mostly about 5 pm because they take our route after they've done theirs. It's been tha...
