Blaine, I know all about Indiana. Had several friends that went there every year to squirrel hunt. Me, my brother, my dad, and couple other friends used to (in the 80's) go every year to Trimble Co Ky, hunt right on banks of Ohio R across from Madison Indiana. Fox squirrel heaven, and we loved it, 9...

Good pics everybody! GK, is that a Marlin Auto, Mod 60?

Drawdown

ABC, thats about the ultimate in shooting! I used to shoot a Model 19 S&W 357 a lot, but give it to my boy. I seriously thought of getting S&W 's 22 revolver just for squirrels. I believe it was either a Mod 17 or a K22, but I never did. My favorite way of cooking my own squirrels for past s...

Guess I'm posting this cause its a beautiful cool spring morning, and I'm remembering. Our spring squirrel season opens this Saturday, and really, I've only taken advantage of it a few years, I kinda favor waiting till fall. But 2016 was the last time I did, and only did for 2 hunts then, but owe ho...

Thanks, if the right gun comes along I won't hesitate to do it!

Drawdown

Fwbe, I've never considered it myself, but I know I've only read positive comments from those who let him to do that. I will keep it in mind if I come up with another 30-30 kinda cheap. I am interested in a 38-55 for my use! Very interesting and usable caliber around here IMO!

Drawdown

I believe you'll are referring to the Pack, aprox 12ft, one man canoe, weighs aprox 35lb??, hang on to it. That's one the top 3 canoes old Town ever made as far as useful. I kept a 16ft'r for years but I never knew that boat was available until they quit making it. If I had id got one also, perfect ...

Drawdown

Jim, I thoroughly enjoyed that! The best in life can turn to near tragedy in the blink of an eye. God is good, and the ways of providence are all His! Sure is good to know!

Drawdown

Pitchy, thats some cool stuff! Wouldn't mind having that Optimus camp stove myself.

Drawdown

Piller it already has and keeps me smiling. O I keep say (why didn't I start this long time ago), but then I guess, better off, its all actually new. First rifle I ever bought when I went to work was a levergun, but shortly I went to everything else, especially bolt actions. I got the 336 in 1981 on...

Drawdown

I'm glad to get the references mm93, all of them listed here and any others to come! I'd never had any dealings with cast before, ill note all these for the future.

I'm still waiting on the data for old savages load

Drawdown

Old Savage, thats my kinda shooting right there!

Drawdown

Well I sure got all the info and resources I need here! The rest is up to me to make it work, and I'm thinking now ill give the bore in my Marlin a good cleaning, kinda devote it to cast duty. After all it just about only collected dust since I got the Winchester. When I started reloading a year ago...

Drawdown

Just one more ? Let's say I decide to try some cast in my 30-30. Once I start flaring case mouths, do I need to keep that brass separate for use over only with cast?

Drawdown

Thanks everyone for good advice and resources! My head was burnt out last night. I already have a good understanding of a lot of it, I just got to decide like Jim said and jump in and hang on. This info will give me confidence to do so. One thing I've been considering also is just keeping my 30's as...

Drawdown

Thats a great article, yours right? I've got a lot to learn!

Drawdown

Jim, I read it. I'm between, scratching my head and backing out already, and if you like em that well and had great satisfaction with them, I'll go for it!

Drawdown

I've been reloading just over a year now, only for 30-30, and only with jacketed bullets. I've had very good success, its went very comparable to others reports, and load data! I love it, enjoy it as much as the shooting, it gives shooting an entire new purpose! But one the reasons I began, its been...

I only joined this site 2 days ago, but I want to say Happy Birthday, and thank you for speaking absolute truth of God's Word! There's only one rock solid answer to this life, just the way it is. That is the Solid Rock of Christ in my life, and the answer for every life, and all its problems! But th...

This is a good serious thread all good stories! Forgive me for trashing it with a crazy no good trip!

Drawdown

It works ABC, I'll get my boy to try to get it for me. I don't so no business by computer, only phone or in person or mail. But he uses Amazon. Thanks I done know it'll be interesting!

Drawdown

Thats a great story, thanks a lot! And it reminds me of a wild one I got into, i'll try to describe it briefly. I believe aprox 1993, I let my lifelong best friend talk me into another daring chance, like he'd got me into before###!!! Most our canoeing was for fishing, and we were back then devout r...

Drawdown

ABC, I will look for that book. I'm reader of American history anyway. I'm in a good one now by a fighter pilot. Thanks!

Drawdown

I sure had to pull this thread back up. I did most my hunting last Sept and oct by solo canoe camping. Didn't get my deer, but got plenty squirrels! I mostly squirrel hunted mornings and bow hunted deer in evenings. And my camp resembled yours very much, especially my blue tarp kitchen & resting...

Drawdown

This is a very good thread i had to bring up, about a great rifle and everythingit involves! I too hope to be reading & looking of a Stag here soon? And I can relate to your preference to sights very much!

Drawdown

Six, I've seen a few picks of , I guess your reloading bench, room?? My Lord! Where did you get all those wonderful toys!

Drawdown

The movie "Windtalkers", its very good and best my memory, very close to what happened there. My dad was in the Saipan landing and battle. He told me all about it when I was a little boy. He was also on another island or 2? But he was walking all over Nagasaki aprox 2 weeks after the atomi...

Drawdown

39's have always been worshipped here. Those in the know, love their 9422's. My 336 is a 77 model, it would've been kinda a twin to the 39 I had. Through those years from late 60's through the 80's, I either owned or had in possession, almost every good Winchester or browning shotgun made. My dad wa...

Drawdown

I'm still kicking myself to death over not stocking up on some. Honestly, I thought Trump would still be in charge, this mess be over soon! But, my favorite squirrel shotgun is an old Winchester SS. Don't look good right now

Drawdown

My levergun knowledge is for the most part, in depth study for a number of years, especially the last 10. Funny tho, I graduated HS in 77, went to work, and my first payday, I got me a 870 Rem. 2nd maybe 3rd payday, I g ot me, what in my eyes, was the ultimate, "Ky Assault Squirrel Rifle",...

Drawdown

Love em I do especially the Winchester! The 33wcf would be just the right amount of more of everything, step up from my 30's, for around here! I'd first like a Mod 71 in 348, but an 86 in 33wcf would be right next to it!

Anyway, enjoy the rifle, I sure would, its perfect!

Drawdown

Very nice! An 86 in 33 wcf has been in my hearts desire for some time! Never even seen one, probably never will?

Drawdown

I'm sure glad I still fit into the youth group :D My constant side companion in the woods, is a Kimber 4" 45acp. It was a 6" Smith Mod 19 (by far my all time favorite handgun) 357, but I went to the 45, so much lighter! I signed on here, already my mouths watering - drueling, from looking ...

Drawdown

AJM, thanks, thats some good stuff! I saw a picture of the Marbles Bullseye when it come out. I figured it would block way to much of the field of view, but I guess not. That pic makes it look really good!

Drawdown

Ah ill go ahead. To recommend a peep is right on especially with my old eyes! I fixed my Marlin several years ago to what, IMO for me, is the ultimate deer rifle for where I hunt! (mountains of SE Ky) I filed the rear semi-buck to a flat top with a shallow U. I filed the front brass bead so it only ...

Drawdown

I thank you all kindly! I pulled up a chair, typed a long reply about some of my experiences with iron sights, hit submit I thought? Don't know where I went wrong, but now I'm to pooped to try again. I'll take up the trail in the morning.

Drawdown

Just wanted to say hello, and glad to finally do so! I've been visiting this place often for sometime, unable to join, no computer. Still don't have one but I now can use a new phone. Yap, computer almost ignorant! But I've been a rifleman all my life, and a levergun rifle nut the past 5 years. I'm ...
