Some people just never look on the bright side.Just think after you run through those 72 virgins what are they?72 wives-just don't see where that would be survivable even in the after life.

Neck sizing is just resizing that part of the case which grips the bullet.That was the way I started with a 303 british years ago.Someone else will have to say if it will work for a lever gun.Some levers even require fairly tight dies (small base) but I would think the revolver caliber guns would not.

model55

You came up no matter how I look at it.Enjoy it!

Like J Miller I had to rework the primer pockets and if I recall the brass at that time didn't seem to hold up for very long.

model55

Perry, if he came into possession of it before Jan 1 of 1991 there shouldn't be a problem,I know this isn't your gun and I may be wrong but before that date no paperwork was required for private transfer.

model55

Here they would count spent rounds as well as live just because it might sell more papers.

model55

Well one nice thing about that Mossberg is you won't fell bad about losing it in the woods,using it as a ply bar,spray painting it,loaning to the bil or mil,giving it as a white elephant gift,using it to hold the toilet paper when nature calls,a fire poker(unloaded )................

Been wondering about this one http://www.ruger.com/products/sr22Pistol/models.html

model55

I could have gone without seeing that-how do I get that one past the wife!

model55

It just has the dignity and character that only time and use can give it.You will never find that on a new gun.It has been there ,done that and is waiting for more.Enjoy.

model55

You might try J-B non-embedding bore cleaning compound on the bore,don't know how others feel about that but it has worked for me in the past.

model55

You may be able to cut a slot with a dremel tool then unscrew it.Kroil oil will help.

model55

Just had a brain fade but what are you going to be shooting it out of?The reason I ask is at least one of my reloading books suggested Imr 4064 or 4895 for those rifles like the M1 Garand or M 14 because the operating rod is not up to faster powders.Not having a M14 or M1a I'm not sure if that appli...

model55

rl 15 or imr 4064 have worked for me in the past.

model55

Nothing wrong with that.Started going again this last season and I'm already planning .Found where I want to scout and so on.

model55

Feel your pain, had the same thing with a Ruger target pistol of all things.Some times you just need to do exactly what you did put it away for another time and move on.

model55

Lol just got sniped on a rear sight for the 1881 marlin.Know how you feel.

model55

Remember as well that she is a part of the great generation,they grew them different back then

.Dad had some limitations that were gently imposed over time like no night driving and so on.

model55

Not only that but don't work for Fish and Game then hunt one out of state you'll have all the politicians in a self righteous up roar-bunch of losers.

model55

Cool for the other 49 states,some how it will not make it here.whine, whine, whine!

model55

It is more then driving that they give up but some level of independence.I got lucky in that my father stopped by his choice, had I to do it over I'd step in as it can really bring a lot of stress. It gets to be a gamble and something you may want to consider is that even if they are not at fault if...

Gave one to a friend two years ago maybe three,while I've never got to work mine ,he was able to use his skinning a bear and liked it.As he tends to keep all of his razor sharp I'll take his word for it.

You may also want to look at your hammer spring.

model55

Stock the pantry,if nothing else.I did notice the last time that shotgun shells were in no shortage around here.Too bad I'm not much of a shotgun shooter.Russian ammo didn't seem to be affected either but the local guys don't stock often so it was a gun show deal or mail order.No black rifles here s...

model55

Guess I'd better start keeping up!Another sign I need to get out in the garage and do some loading.Thank you ollogger.

model55

Ollogger, what is LVR?I'm thinking that if I seat my bullets deeper so none of the crimping groove shows I'd have better luck.Do you have an over all length that you load to?

model55

yep! doesn't sound right does it?

model55

Was storing tents in some but sign of the times I think they may have a better use.

model55

I've been looking at some of the surplus ammo cans.One of the local gun pushers has some that are 31 inches deep x 6 inches wide and 11 inches tall.My twisted brain thinks I could break down your average bolt gun and with maybe foam inserts store it , ammo and tools.Barrels of about 22 inches with a...

model55

Seems reasonable compared to the cost of an AR 10 or 25.

model55

Nice,you do seem to find great stuff!

model55

I have shot them in my 25-35 but unfortunately not to the point where I can tell you much.They do not seem to cycle well in my 94 so over all length is an issue,they hit the upper lip of the chamber.Seems to group okay at 50 yards with 54 year old eyes but my rifle needs work as the groups tend to b...

Local EBR guy is already having problems finding parts to keep his business going.Saw some uppers priced at what would have bought complete rifles before.Time to do some reloading.

model55

Pretty much my feelings with Barnes.Bullets are more expense ,you get half what you used to,You buy the book and it is so full of photos that some calibers are completely ignored even though they produce bullets for them.Then read their description of the 30-30.........

model55

Glad you are still here and okay!

model55

'member if the wife isn't happy no one is happy and she already spoke.

model55

Did I mention that my k 31 has the best trigger of any military rifle I have.I'm betting the 1911 is just as good.........just saying.

model55

Saw some where that 25.7 grains of imr 3031 was a factory equivalent with the 117 grain bullet but have CRS so you better work your way up to that one.Worked with little 75 grain bullets but that is another ball game.

model55

How about .22 caliber pellet gun pellets over a primer in .22 hornet?

model55

How about a .32 round ball.Tried it in 303 with a shotgun primer once, keyword once ,because my bit was too big and the primer didn't seal that little RB never left the barrel on it's own. Wasn't a problem as I had my cleaning rod with me but never tried it again.

model55

Pitchy, first I'm going to apologize to you I know the spirit you meant this in and I should keep my mouth shut but I'm tired of abiding people whining about Veterans getting benefits.That said if you are not willing to put your own rear end in dangers way for others don't whine when those who did g...

Early 80's 94ae in 30-30 has not gone hunting yet but will be this year.Think it would have been a big help on the Stevie Wonder shot I goofed on last year.

model55

1911 in .45, browning hp in 9mm. Kind of a toss up between the two for me.

model55

Had you said you were buying this poor thing to fix it,http://www.ebay.com/itm/Winchester-Model-1886-40-82-W-C-F-Parts-/190640270484?pt=Vintage_Hunting&hash=item2c630bac94, then I'd think maybe you were crazy as is I always admire the knowledge you bring here about the 1886.The hunting pictures ...

model55

Have hunted with the 24 inch barrels before but it was what I had at the time, didn't feel that they were any trouble.Will be taking the trapper this year if for no other reason because it will pack better and I intend to do a little more brush busting in thick stuff this year.

model55

Just donated my samurai to Cars for causes for the same reason but think I'd have done better to part it out.

model55

As much as I like the colt woodsman that is just wrong!

model55

:oops: You know I promised over a year ago to get a Photobucket account and you see the result.Doing the walk of shame.Dial calipers indicate a .323 bore but I'll still run it by my gunsmith.I'm pretty confident that is the correct bore as the receiver is a 1937 but better safe with a face.As luck w...

model55

Nothing wrong with the 8mm and should just get better if you have to use copper.Mine likes IMR 4064 under the Barnes 180 tsx unfortunately crs prevents me from saying how much powder at the moment.Think I came up with the load off the Hodgdon reloading page.
