Hey Rusty. Good deal man! Mine's chambered in just the lowly 30-30 (special to me!), but thanks for the heads up on Lee. I spoke with someone there regarding a mold I wanted made about a month ago. Even though they did have the 3 cherries for the designs I wanted (actually their own..) they still we...

A couple of weeks ago at a country flea market I picked up some recent RIA catalogues. I had been previously unaware of such a fine printed catalogue for an auction. Wow. The quality of the pics - and specimens, are amazing as are quite a few of the write ups. Thumbing through it totally brought me ...

Camel73

Thank you JFE, I'll take a little luck any day :D I've never been worried too much about having to adjust my sight, as I already have a pretty low velocity round that's easily adjusted for with the Lyman peep. Also, I like the idea of a more frangible, high speed light lead. Possibly less prone to f...

That reminds me, I've got to do some homework on an available powder that's good for cold/hot temps. Well, good thing I didn't lay down any cash for some type of long nose design mold for a heavier bullet at first. I don't think it would have fit... I would have been choked for sure. My little cast ...

Camel73

Hmmm, let see if this works. http://i.imgur.com/R9QAlga.jpg Griff, 400 yards! I'd be happy to get half of that. I plan on using the little guy for higher velocity applications if I can. My melting pot should be here this week. Just need to decide on a powder. I've got trail boss but i don't believe ...

So I threw a stick on ww into my chamber and this is what I got.
Seems like the rifling was closer than I thought it was.

Camel73

One of my old road toys had that stuff, among other things.. I had a couple flowfasters on a 3" crossover exhaust. On top was a k&n with an airflow top too, cowl induction hood. I could definitely tell a change in mpg.. just like people who reload to save $. I could also definitely tell if ...

Camel73

Thanks guys. That accurate mold site is crazy! I just came up for air.. so many... Accurate has combo molds yes, if it doesn't include rb's. Lee's out too. So I just came back home with a Lee 2 cav 113 gr gc mold. I figure it'll be good to learn on and get to know my sizes with different mixes, befo...

Camel73

.313 took a decent squeeze from the lfcd to chamber with the rb's. Once I got a .311 push through (actually .3105), more than one problem disappeared. I phoned noe and asked if they could make me a mold with a 165, 115 and rb. No joy. Called lee, they're on lunch for another hour. I noticed last nig...

Camel73

My 94 slugged at .3085 and it's got a long throat. I was thinking on treating myself to a brass noe ranch dog .311 165gr gc 2 cav w. pins. Others on the list are two lee's; .311 rb and the 113gr gc "soup can" to round out my 30-30 casting needs. What do you think? Edit: ok maybe not a bras...

Camel73

Lol! I guess it does look a little archaic. I've since upgraded to big thumbtacks :) Paper towel and whatever color marker has been my go to bush targets for a bit now. Easily customizable and easy to see... fairly hardy and seems to make decent bullet holes. Thanks for the info Griff. As far as bul...

Camel73

Well, I scored on a 5 gallon pail of wheel weights for $30 today. My first lead haul ha. I know some of you guys have unlimited lead sources but it's better than a buck a pound at the recyclers. Hopefully little to no zinc, I pick it up tomorrow. Man, now that I've got access to lead, my brain kind ...

Camel73

Just to follow up.. I had a chat with a trail boss tech guy today and even he said to ditch the wad, careful not to squib one pointing down, and have fun! So I finally ended up getting a .311" sizer. I was about to load some more up when i remembered having fat bullet issues last fall. This wil...

Camel73

I use mine outside more often than not.
Sized lead with it just this morning out in the back yard. It was great!
I keep all my reloading gear in a case with a handle on it about the size of a shoebox.
It's the only loader I've ever had and for what I do its pretty sweet so far.

Camel73

We just finished a stretch of rain and cool air. When the sun did break out today it got hot fast! I sat in the back yard sizing lead this morning.. so nice! Said only a high of 13 today (55 for those of you south of the border), but it seemed way nicer when the sun poked through the clouds. Blue sk...

Camel73

Thanks levergun!

Camel73

It's called a joke... , and it also rhymed..

...supposed to make you chuckle.

Spring is here... the weather is warmer...

Ooookaaaay.

Camel73

Hurray hurray!
It's the 1st of May!
Outdoor screwin starts today!!

Camel73

Sweet. And if I were to rebarrel.. no problem?

Camel73

So, gettin ready for camping and was wondering... If I'm shootin sized subsonic 00 buck out of my 94 30-30, then want to blast some factory jacketed rounds for a bit, then go back to shooting the subs again, will it matter all that much till I get home to clean it? I'll be out havin fun for a week, ...

Camel73

Great, thanks guys!

Camel73

Going over my stuff today had me thinking.. I believe that tomorrow I will go pick up a lee .311" sizer. Reason being those .312" sized 00 buck are a smidge to fat for my liking (I've come to find a few .3125 and .313"'s as well), as I have to squeeze em pretty good for them to chambe...

Camel73

Ya, maybe just keep an eyeball on the area between the end of the case and whatever lead to the lands there are. Keep that chamber area clear for longer brass...

Camel73

Hey all! Gettin ready for a campin trip so naturally I pulled out the reloading gear for my 94 30-30 and started punching out old primers. I began thinking of the case lengths I've been running (I realize the min and max specs) and thought id ask this hopefully simple question... How short of a case...

Camel73

Lol, nice. Well, I'm not too far behind either though...
Griff, according to your wife's math I'll be acting 10 3/4 this year!

My Pa turns 15 1/2 in a week, ha.

Camel73

Just saw this, and like I said - same goes for me.. Merry Christmas guys!

Camel73

Merry Christmas all... I'm relatively new here and just wanted to thank you all for the neighborly atmosphere in the time I've had to be a part of this site. I think I'm young here compared to most of you regular old fanny burbs, but for YEARS I have always appreciated the stories, knowledge, and at...

Between you guys yakin about bullet moulds and just getting this book im freaking out! lol cuz a mould (or few) is one of ...

Nice shots! Those guys are awesome

I hope it was the one on the right givin the head butts, "I told you, quit sniffin my butt!" Ha

Camel73

Always neat to check out something new or different. So, you're in utilitarian, modern thinking mode... with a lever... cool. Why not I say. It's all good fun. REAL levers will always be around, and I love mine but it's fun to be innovative and creative too. Great job I'd say. How's stock b on the o...

Johnny, gotta think outside the box man. Start hanging them from the ceiling... like frying pans in the kitchen!

Nice! Just figured how to take a pic from my phone gallery and not use a server

I mainly use my phone.
Never tried the "Upload attachment" till now..

daisygordoninc this evolution might have taken years without you posting. Thanks!

Ps- I hope you get it sorted out

Camel73

#'s matching set, that's neat.
I would figure that to be pretty special, especially to see it the way he would have used it.. duct tape and all. Any pics?

I remember when as a kid I thought all adults were mature responsible people that could be trusted. Lol

Camel73

I use the Photo Resizer app (free), 800x600ish.
Then send it to Imgur. Click link, then bbcode, which gives you their image link address.

Seems to be good so far.

Camel73

No filler, even with a 1.5gr load?

Thanks for the responses on the wax section there guys.. Been busy with Dr. appointments and life lately. Can't shoot all the time I suppose :x Just got a bone scan and now waiting for an mri on my lower back and neck. They wanted to start poking my spine with needles - I said forget it. I'll wait f...

Sweet 94's! Ya, I like just seeing them too :mrgreen: That's how I got to owning mine. As a kid I'd lay on the living room floor in the sun and quietly flip through page after page of black and white leverguns while the grandparents had their afternoon nap, dreaming of maybe..... one day.........

I've been on hunts for deer and moose with friends, helped skin and gut, but never got one myself yet.
My freezer and rifle are envious

Congrats!

Good evening lever lovers Would anyone happen to know how many of these came in .44, rather than .36? I just assumed it was a .36 but lately found out that they came in .44 also, so I measured and came up with 7/16". It's an 1851 cap and ball navy replica, so don't get excited... although I was...

Ha, nice, but that would take a special kind of woman...

I love the stories.... Great histories that tell a tale are fascinating to me. Not sure of the story behind this one though. Not sure if this fits here but this might be the closest thing to a handgun I'll ever own... I found this little guy for peanuts not long ago. Pretty sure they didn't know wha...

Nice little package.
Just visited their site. Haha... Might as well pack a pistol with your sword!

Best shot-per-dollar of any kind of firearm. Great practice guns too. 8) So, how do you like them so far? I picked up a benji titan a while ago. I got one of the bum ones... Had to put together a spring compressor and replace the seal (the piston was slamming too). Hmmm... sunny, clear, just a whis...

Some animals just got attitude, plain and simple. Kinda like people, ha. Remember that "Grizzly Man" up in Alaska? He knew there was something off about the bear that eventually ate him, and his girlfriend. Although many would agree he was stupid about what he was doing. This guy thought h...
