I load various .45 colt loads for CAS and hunting and have used it in various '73s and '92s and I keep waitng for all this blow back. Does it come after 20 years or when? :lol: 6 posts and you already have the sarcasm down :P :lol: Welcome aboard . Personally I think 32/40 cant beat a 32WS. But can...

Found a new local smith. The barrel itself weighs 4lbs 3ozs. Told'em if he could get it down to 1lb8oz i would be happy. tho will settle for 2lbs. He quoted me 2weeks and a reasonable cost. So will give update then.

Putting that feather there was a good coverup ER idea

Some of the wild berries here ferment and the grouse get a little goofy at times too. How long from the time you saw till it hit your windshield? Did seem like it was slow motion while watching it?

What kind of loads do you shoot in your Marlins or Winnies, from light to heavy, cast to jacketed, cast or bought? Anyone use Suter's Choice cast bullets?

The best Defense is a good OFFENSE, 30/30 dont need no defending. It just keeps doing the job at

Match Grade Machine ( MGM ) Had them make me a 8.25" 9mm and 12" 30/30. They are both nice shooting. Have nice mirror smooth bores. 30/30 will do anything you need from 32ACP type loads up to full on factory loads. Think its more useful than either a 22LR or 357 Mag barrel.

WOW What a candy store.

Looks like he will make anything within reason. I like the thought of a 250gr bullet for a 45/70 to use for mild plinking and small game. I see he offers a 220FP for 38/55's.

L&M Fleet supply in Grand Rapids, MN has the 22/45 with 4" or 5.5" bullbarrels for $255 and $260. They are the fixed grip model.. They felt a little narrow to me, but what a good price. Almost as cheap as a new Contender pistol barrel and 9 more shots on tap. They are the blued version...

Where can I send a single shot rifle barrel to be shortened and tapered down. Its a .17Mach2 Handi bull barrel. The barrel weighs about 8lbs by itself. Who does this type of work?

How do you like the Bersa? Is it .22 version of the Thunder .380? Is it reliable? Todd

One thing I have noticed is the Hornady 87gr SPP is more destructive than their 75gr HP. Also haver shot the 90gr GK and the 100gr SPP by R-P they seem to shoot about the same. Also expand similarly on 2litre water-filled bottles. I have yet to check and see what my rifling twist is yet.

I have a box of once fired (20) Hornady 45 colt leverlution brass. Ifu want it i'lll send it to you. Dont trim yer other good brass just for that. Todd

Ben, I loaded some .355 bullets in a 357 case and they would just slide down inside to the powder. Since I always need to finish projects, this caused me many sleepless nights :lol: Anyways I used a 222 REM sizing die to reduce 357 brass down to about .353 outside diameter. Then i flared case and se...

Learn something different everday. How about the 50gr 22Mag Federal load. Any one know how long that bullet is and what speed it should take to stabilize? I chrono them at 1550fps out of a 19 and 21" barrel, and 1425fps out of a 10" Contender.

Thanks gents, I do have a Lee mold on the way, and always have at least 150# of lead/wheelweights on hand,I am just getting itchy to shoot it. This working for a living gets in the way of shooting and reloading at times. As I am sure most y'all are in this club.

3leggedturtle

Hope it goes well, and you are able to go out for Mexican afterwards. BTW what weekend is the Gunshow there?

3leggedturtle

WOW Talk about sticker shock, thought I would get 100 cast bullets just to try out, until I got my mold. The cheapest I find is $24 per 100.

Jacketed are even more. Maybe I'll just buy some round balls and have a short range rabbit load.

A way of crushing up stuff like charcoal into a very fine and miscible powder...

So you can make priming powder for flintlocks?

3leggedturtle

You could also get a Lyman "M" die. I have one for every rifle caliber and use it for both cast and jacketed bullets. Have gone so far as to take out decapper rod and put a smaller diameter inside neck expander, (cant think of the term for it) so I aint overworking necks more than need be.

Pitchy I really like that tumbler, had a rock tumbler that looked like it, I used with "rice shaped" walnut media. Cleaned cases real good inside and out. I on the prowl for another one.

KirkD, I have found that slow burning powders can sometimes give much better results with no leading in rougher barrels. And......as we know PSB works great as a gas check with faster powders.....
