I have killed everything from turkeys to Grizzly bear with a 25-35. There is a great article in the latest edition of "Handloader" magazine on the 25-35... Would you give us the story on the grizzly bear in your words. I read the write up Mike wrote on the 25-35. I'm not sure how to ask b...

This is a good graph that shows what the writer was writing about. He needs to go back to school and take up a different vocation, writing truthfully about guns isn't working for him...

The use of 40-82 as a cartridge in the build was asked about using smokeless powder. 40-82 cases are not a good choice and a 40-65 would be better. There is too much room left inside a 40-82 case when using a safe smokeless load...

Regardless of the maker, a drag line is usually a result of the user and how he handles the gun. The defense of different gunsmiths and this particular gun aren't necessary. The truth is that someone did a bunch of work to a single action revolver he thought as worthy of sharing. It is an ugly gun a...

"effort being noteworthy has turned this country backwards". I disagree. The effort is not the total but usually leads to improvement. Do you always do your best work the first time. I dislike the cylinder ring also but saw his work as a journey not necessarily the destination. For some o...

The "idiot" comment was disrespectful. We are better than that. We don't all have the same level of craftsmanship. The effort is noteworthy. Sorry about the idiot thing, but effort being noteworthy has turned this country backwards. I remember how good an artist I thought I was in Kinderg...

I put a little time on the stock to help the finish with some Tru-Oil and take the rust off the buttplate. This gun had been sitting in about an inch of water for an extended period of time. What a shame, but it still looks pretty good. I hope to be shooting it soon... http://i235.photobucket.com/al...

I am wondering how deep the riflings are on your SRC. I have a 1898 vintage model 94 rifle in 32-40, and the riflings are fairly shallow. I don't know whether it was manufactured that way, or if it has just been shot a lot and worn the riflings down. Since your SRC is so new looking, could you look...

Shrapnel

What's wrong with the original 33WCF barrel? If the bore is good, the 33 is a good shooter and with a nickel steel barrel gives the option of using jacketed bullets. Just sayin' :D This is a valid point. Also I would recommend looking for an original 40-65 and leave the other gun alone. These aren'...

I found another gun I didn't know I had to own. I saw this gun in a gunsmith shop in need of some repair on the buttstock. I contacted the owner and he sold it to me. It is a 6XXX serial number, made in 1894. The gun is in excellent shape other than the damage to the buttstock. You don't often see g...

As you already shot it, what are you using? I'm guessing a .375 diameter heel bullet that will fit in a cut down 38 Spl case over 3 grains of Bullseye or 4 grains of Unique.

The 30-30 is illegal to use in Ohio for Deer. it is just too under powered for the giant whitetails that abound in this state. That is why when the ODNR made rifle caliber guns legal to use last year they included the 50-100. I took Mine last year with the 45-70 and felt under gunned. but some how ...

I bought it thinking it was chambered in 38-40 as it was listed as a 38 CF. When I got it, it will chamber a 38 special. It definitely isn't 38-40. Mike Venturino will be writing an article on it soon, until then I won't know exactly what the chambering is. We need to slug the barrel and check the c...

30-30 is too much gun. The real deal is a 25-35. I have killed plenty of big game with it including a Grizzly Bear.

I bought a Dillon 650 and returned it because it would not seat primers most of the time and they could not get it working correctly when I returned it for service.

Brent was a regular on Shiloh and 24Hourcampfire. Maybe he could shoot, but he was best at shooting his mouth off.

If you want something that really works, get a couple of Dillon 650's. If you want something that works well, get the 550.
