I'm not sure if I can help you with this or not but here goes. I shoot a 180 cast gas checked flat point in my 99. I use it because where I hUNT YOU CAN'T SEE FARTHER THAN 60 YARDS. I haven't gotten to shoot anything with it though so I can't tell you what it's like on game but it is way accurate. S...

Hi all, I know some of you guys have worked on shotguns extensively and I was given a Manton muzzleloading shotgun for our anniversary by my wife. The problem is the barrels need to be resoldered(if it is to be used it's pretty rough) it was a nice gun in it's day but it has seen better days but som...

Doc, I love reading your writings. I am there, in the moment as the story unfolds. Real nice. Thank you! Tom

I was able to see one of the original Mare's leg guns when the national firearms museum was having the "real guns of our reel hero's" exhibit. Yes there in the gunleather a sloo of 45-70's that were never gonna fit in to a 92 loading gate and that is the first time I ever noticed it. Many ...

I'll give ya both my 10/22's for it!!! .........Didn't think so.

As far a Duvall's stature I don't htink he meant Hollywood stature I think he meant ...THE DUDE AIN'T BIG ENOUGH PHYSICALLY FOR THE PART. But I could be wrong. Tom

having talked to a bunch of guides who recommend big calibers for stuff. They recommend this stuff because a large percentage of their customers can't shoot worth a hoot and they have to make up for lack of practice with sheer power. Tom

Hobie I'm an hour east of Harrisburg let me know what you want glad to help. Tom

fordwannabe

Nice rifle, I really like that caliber too. I was reloading a couple hundred last night for my model 99(but we all know it is for target work only cause you could never actually kill a deer with it). Tom

fordwannabe

I would be willing to bet from the stuff I have read that it will be very different than the original....unfortunately. Tom

fordwannabe

I solved the problem for me...I have several of each(and other calibers too). I use them more for individual situations than interchangably but I feel comfortable with both and have never felt "Undergunned" with either. If I am going horse riding I probably will take a revolver(sA or DA) i...

I didn't pay that much for my original 1886 last year. Some of the guys around here use sticks with string on rthem for that kinda stuff.

fordwannabe

Yeah and did you see the price on that little ditty? Oh BOY!

Dave never enough!

We had an old game warden back in Mt who would go to this certain fellow that had a BUNCH of kids and not to much money, and tell the guy he(warden) was going to leave town for a day or two and he shouldn't go up to this mountain or that meadow while he was gone. :wink: . That was a good thing, this...

fordwannabe

Thanks for the info Hobie and +1 from all the other guys. I know where I will start, now if I could do something about the loose nut behind the trigger we might be able to get somewhere! Tom

I am in need of some good 38 special loads for a S&W 66 I have. I want to use either my 158 Keith swc or my lee 158 fp molds. I have most of the usual powders on hand Unique, reddot, 2400, ect ,ect but what do you guys suggest as a good plinking, small game load for that gun. If I carry it conce...

In 2005 I was caribou hunting WAAAY up north in Quebec and we found 11 left to lay caribou in 3 days of hunting. I mean no disrespect to "hunters" but I was told by the guide some of the people shoot them then "ground check"(a phrase I had never heard before) if it isn't good eno...

Dang it now...I told myself I wouldn't buy any new guns this year and didn't yall just go make me want a 357 rifle to go with my 2 pistols. Whats a man to do? Tom

fordwannabe

Joe google Lead Bullet technologies and you get to Veral Smiths site and it has a bunch of good stuff in it. I use the blue lube from them and like it very much. Good reading you'll be there awhile I bet! Tom

I also reform 45-70 brass for my 33wcf and I only use winchester cases. I had to trim them the first time(I am still waiting on lee to send me my custom trimmer and FCD I ordered in August)but I haven't had any problems after that. Tom

I am not passing any kind of judgement here just stating the agreement I have with my LGS. If they have it in stock I buy from them, if they can order it I pay a 10% ffl fee and the shipping and background check. If it is used I can use their ffl but it cost $25 plus shipping plus background check. ...

I can't comment on using that bullet without a gc but I know my 336 showed a marked preference in the sizing dept. I tried each sizer from357 to 360 and it liked 358 ,not so much for 359, and 360 was horrible ,so you might want to check it. I mean no disrespect but each rifle is an individual and ve...

I was at a gunshop about a year ago when a fella came in with a revolver he wanted to sell. he pulled it out of the rug and started to ask about selling it and yada...yada...yada. the owner of the shop took the gun(after the guy had been waving it around mind you) opened it and sure as poop there it...

I have a foulout 111 that I use sparingly. A buddy of mine brought me 1892 winny he had just purchased for an unholy amount of money. It was in nice shape outside but he was going to use it as a wall hanger because the bore was sooo bad. After 2 sessions with the foulout I had enough lead in the bot...

Welcome to the dark side! I have been reloading for 30 years and it is the most rewarding and frustratingthing I have done (other than being married) in my life. Go slow learn the process and it will be great. Take short cuts, decide the guys writing the manuals are conserative, or be careless...may...

Congrats 30 wcf will you just tell young Michael there were a bunch of old cantankerous softies out there asking God for help for him. We may grumble a little amongst ourselves but there is a lot of prayer power in this group,and it seems to be freely handed out, again congrats. tom

Last year I bought my marlin 336 in 35 remmy from a friend and it had 2 boxes of ammo with it. 1 was 200 grain round nose the other pointy bullets, I asked him if he had fired any of these before and he said sure that's the second box....AAAARRRRGGGHH! Anyway as far as the cost of 35 rem ammo I cast...

Done! God Bless your Mom and those who love her!

fordwannabe

Yeah but if we spend that much time and precision on something like that imagine the can of whoop azz we could inflict on you if we were allowed to just do it. Tom

fordwannabe

Great news! We have a great God and he listens. Tell your Mom how happy we are for her. It ain't fun but cancer is beatable these days, I know, 2 1/2 years cancer free myself! I hope all is well! Tom

MADMAN congrats! One of the finest breeds anywhere. I am on my fourth lab and this one is a biggie120 pounds and I am trying to break him of the habit of opening a closed door, he uses his mouth to turn the knob. Great my lab is smarter than your honor student! Again Congrats! Tom

I don't mean to be a Jerk and I am sorry for his injury. But what in the world was he doing leaning a rifle against something with a round in the chamber much less the hammer back??? Tom

fordwannabe

One other thing to think about with the stevens/savage it is SUPER EASY to change barrels and thus calibers. In the span of 10 minutes I go from a 308 to 22-250 on my one savage. Any caliber based on the 308 case can be put on this action without changing the bolt head(which is changeable too!) and ...

Hi donniedee, I am not a real fan of "hardcast" lead bullets myself. They don't always work very well (without leading). First I am a caster so I don't buy them but the hardest I use is straight wheel weights with a small amount of tin added. Depending on the gun I cut the wheel weights wi...

fordwannabe

I like it but at 6'1" and a used to be 400 pounds it really didn't matter that much weight wise and the extra barrel lenght hasn't been a problem either. Tom(now down to a svelt 330 and going down)

Sorry bud, I have three collars hanging in my gun room each to a special friend who has gone on before me and I am afraid a fourth will go on the wall before too many more years. Each time I see these collars though I remember what a great friend each was and it makes me glad to have had them in my ...

Bear hunter, my go to gun is a 1895ss. I tried the guide and kept the full size. just my opinion. Great shooters though. Tom

I have an old NRA gunsmithing book with an article that describes that very conversion and it didn't have to be done by a smith. Might be the owners name. Tom

I'd like a shot, haven't read that one. Thanks

Well I said I went ...never said I graduated. Too much time shooting pool and drinking beer...I was a punk kid and the main reason I went was to find out how they make all that horsepower with 4 cylinders. Wasted my time and my DaD's money! Sorry Dad! Yeah he was proud(not so much). Tom

Grizz, go to the National Firearms Museum...TRUST ME, make the time. I have been 6 times and still see stuff I didn't before. Lots of cool levers and sixguns. I was there when they had the "real guns of our reel hero's" display OH BOY! The gatlin gun John Wayne used in rooster Cogburn, Roy...
