Well GIs keep the cans out in the weather hence the gasket but it isn't good for prolonged storage. This is why the military's ammo bunkers are earth covered. That helps modify the temperature extremes without costly heating and/or air conditioning. My wife can't see through steel and count rounds.....

Absolutely fantastic!

and tasteful!

Good for you Blaine. I almost bought it myself (so thanks for preserving my marriage!

).

Congratulations. I know you've been antsy about this ever since you placed the order!!! I'd like to see video of it being shot (and not at one of Bestlever's fish).

Yes, exactly!

I saw yesterday on FNC some kid who fought off a home invader by biting him. The kid said it was better to go down fighting. He's right.

Oh, I measured the .59-90s I bought and .50-70s Ranch13 sent me. It is interesting to me also that the .348 is so much smaller in that dimension despite being a derivative of the .50-110.

I sent you an e-mail about the wax.

22K is in trapdoor range, but I wonder if how much the shorter case would affect pressure if using trapdoor loads That isn't what he said. He is speaking of pressure. Different cartridges so different loads. No .45-70 in the '76 for a reason. Back to the .50-95... Now there is a cartridge for the 2...

I'm not out of touch with righteousness only with weak willed fellow citizens. I think we should bring it up a notch with say, the simultaneous destruction of 100 enemy installations across the world.

What's your soultion? Let the Sunnis and the Shiites have their civil war. Iraq will divide the ruins into three states: Kurds, Sunnis, and Shiites. We have zero business in someone else's civil war.

Some folks don't like the pics of the people falling. It is what my cousin most hates to remember. But I think that for that reason it best shows that REAL people were murdered.

Tubby, I support America. I just see the Iraq War as the most dangerous thing to happen to America since the Civil War. Yes, more dangerous than Word War II. In that war, our enemies were countries and were finite in number. Now our enemy is an idea and the fanatics who support the idea grow in num...

I've noted that many retailers of many things mark up product (including ammo) as the prices rise despite the fact that they might not have purchased it at the new wholesale price. I'm glad that I am not forced to do that by my store's owner.

That is a beautiful gun. I wanted to get that one for my dad who worked for the Forest Service for over 25 years. Never combined the money in the pocket with an available gun. I've the basic SRC now and love it.

The admin is in Columbia, Paul is a missionary. Antonio Machado is a Brazilian (and I hope he's found us). We used to have a fellow in Venezuela but due to crs (not our CRS) his name/handle escapes me. There are more.

Hobie As I'm sure you have already found out; RCBS "stuff" is stuff for severe forming. Please explain the problem your die is having with the case head. Since the case head diameter of the 45-75 is actually bigger than the head of the 348, I wouldn't even think that the die would contact...

Yes, welcome to the forum!

I'm just using the standard RCBS stuff.

Junior,

I just measure out shot charges for my 12 ga. (.735") musket. They can be carried in film cannisters OR wrapped in newspaper cylinders.

I had to turn it off. I'm so POed at those maroons I can't even keep my language in check....

I shudder when somebody mounts a 3-9X anything on a levergun. I'd get one of those neat little (relatively) 1-5x Leupolds.

Hobie Have you tried squishing a 50 Alaskan into the die and trimming? If I didn't already have 1500 rounds of 348, that's what I would do. Starline would be great but I would be happy if they just made a short (1.9") 50 basic with a thinner (.058"?) rim. Mike I tried the .50-70 and .50-9...

The Normans are right nice folks AND they appreciate us. My French was good enough for them but not for the bus driver from the Alsace region. Heck, Le Molay Littry even had a gun shop in a pub/bar! Very nice little village.

They look as different as a Marlin, Winchester, Whitney, etc... :wink: What you gonna REALLY use it for? Why, shooting of course! :D Actually, I just want to enjoy the building process more than anything. So, do you want a regional thing or are you wedded to the idea of a mountain man? Honestly, ma...

I just got off the phone with Red at Buffalo Arms. They've got ammo but no Jamison brass and they don't forsee Jamison producing anything but their military contract for at least 6 months. Then it is a wait and see if Jamison goes back to commercial production. Guess we need to hit Starline up again...

Yes, a dehumidfier is necessary in the basement.

Yeah, a busted tailbone hurts. Broke mine in middle school. OUCH!

I'm proof that it can be darn near impossible for some. I've not even been able to get two handguns zeroed...

I thought I'd repost this pic (courtesy of Norm Johnson) comparing the brass as labeled.

Paul,

That's absolutely correct. You can see my cans are labeled on the "front" but also are labeled on top. The 2X4 Basics shelving set-up can handle the weight of the cans. I really need to re-do it as I didn't build the shelving wide enough. I need to add two cans width.

Mine is stored in GI ammo cans on wooden shelving in the basement. Quantities and varieties have grown a bit since the photo was taken but you get the idea.

I take it you didn't try for a hip to opposite shoulder shot. The 170s will often have complete pass throughs there as well, but, the deer never moves far...

It is not just school administrators who think they own their employees...

I prefer the longer cases but have no compunctions against using shorter cases. The .375 is about as short as you can find in a factory case. Some folks like those as a basis for the .30 Herrett or .357 Herrett as they think the brass will allow them to run higher pressures and get more performance....

My son-in-law carries a 1911 Government model of some sort (I've yet to see it

). I generally carry something what will do the opposite of the long gun I carry such as a .22 LR when I've got a deer rifle or a .45 Colt when I've got the squirrel rifle.

That and the .30-40 are the only two chamberings for which the #3 was really suited as configured by the factory. I don't think $600 is out of line.

If you like the grip they're just as good as the regular Single-Six...

Asa,

You can read pretty much everything I've done here. I'm just now warming up a couple of Lyman and Lee molds. I used a .458" sizing die and those bullets seemed to all impact in a hands breadth at about 80 yards. However I wasn't shooting at a paper target...

I always thought they were just too cool.
I'd like a Pocket Army myself. Blue would be best but nickel would be cool as that is how most of them were.

That Starline brass is WONDERFUL. I've only used 20 out of my bag of 250 but did get to shoot them a bit and the brass is a treat. I'm not loading the rest until I've worn out all my short brass... :wink: PS My grandfather was raised in North Blenheim and is buried in Westville Cemetery. My Aunt Vir...

This is just too cool.

Yep, I'd want more than target wadcutters for turkey and fox and such but mostly due to the trajectory. Wadcutters work great on squirrels and rabbits or bigger game in traps...

Backwoods,

Great pics AND quoting "Nessmuk", can't beat that! My dad was from Fly Creek near Cooperstown. Upstate covers a lot of territory, can you narrow it down some?

You guys might remember my BIL fell 20 feet out of a tree and landed on his back. Fortunately he'd broken up the hardpan sand and it was relatively soft. This pic is immediately after and the "halo" is gone but right now he's still bound up as they had to do reconstructive surgery on his s...
