My 4" Speed Six out of all the guns I have would be the one. It is in like new condition, ammo easy to find, I know how to strip it down and fix or replace parts if I have to. Next would be my M &P...

I cast the Lee 170gr, water dropped, sized .309,gas checked and use BLC-2, shoots great in my old 94. I have close to a 1,000 cast up and in a pinch will load them in the .308 as well. I used to use...

2nd & 3rd the 30-30, love casting for it and loading it. Gave my 336 to grandson but still have my ole Win.94. I use Unique for pot shooting and H-335 or Varget for hunting loads.

Being an old goose hunter I used HS-6 and 7 a lot so that is what I use with 9 balls and get a good crimp. I cast a #1 ball. My loads are all 2 3/4" as I have thousands of AA and Rem hulls.

I have the exact same problem, strange is that factory hardball works fine but my reloads loaded to same ol and sized same will drag. Both are standard ole round nose design and appear to be exactly...

Thanks for the info, should hit the range sometime in the next week to confirm. I have a lot of Rugers but this Uberti is one beautiful handgun.

New gun, beautiful birdshead but question on load. 230lrn,(cause I have a bunch of them) 8.0 Unique with CCI 350 primer in nickel Starline brass. Should I back this down to 7.0 because of mag primer....

I have the Lee .309 and it shoots great in my 336, I use the Lee 170 flat nose, size at .309 and shoot the heck out of em.(gas checked)

Years ago I was melting lead to pour cast iron plumbing, was about freezing and I was working on a large school project. Ice cycle fell off roof right into my pot as I was getting ready to pour. I...

My new woods walkin setup, .357 Marlin & single six with the mag cylinder. I'm still good to go with iron sights to 100 yds so far. I can handload the .357 a lot of ways and the mag handgun is big...

I bought my Krag from a great ole guy that passed or I would ask him what safety he installed. It works fine with my scope set up. The mount is a Williams and it is offset but works just great. Not a...

I use the Lee 170gr flat nose gas check for my .308,30-30 & my 30-40. Use Unique or H-335 if I feel the need for speed. In case the world collapses I can load this in the 2 rifles I would want with...

Midway shipped 100 remington 30-40 brass to me today. This should last a long time with moderate cast loads using 2400 or Unique. I plan using the Lee 173gr flat nose cause that is what I used in my...

It is a heavy gun and if you have ever shot an elk 2 canyons over from the pickup you will curse every ounce of it. It does shoot great, the stock was done professionally, inletting tight and...

I checked my favorite supplier for .303 brass last night and low and behold they had 30-40 brass, it's on the way as we speak. Think I will cast up some 173 gr flat points and when the weather allows...

Somebody wouldn't have a carbine stock and barrel band for sale would they? I would like to put this one back to that style for more of a brush gun for the black timber after elk.

Good info, thanks guys! Will stay a Krag and shoot cast mostly. I actually use it for a range gun as it is just too dang heavy to lug over these Colorado mountains. Maybe trade it for a lever, .35.

Anybody convert a 30-40 to 303 or something similar? My bore slugs out at .309 and shoots 30-40 really good but man o man is ammo hard to get. I have 80 rounds of good brass loaded up plus a box of...

Limey, sorry, didn't read your post until I posted the above. Appreciate your ideas too,might try this one too if the first doesn''t do the trick. Best to ya!

Thanks Calamity Jake, just got back on line and will do what you say. I really like this handgun, want another with longer barrel now for a good pair.

This is my Cimaron in .45 and I really like it, smooth, great trigger. Having a little trouble with the base pin though. Mine has the...

Have 120,000 registered trap in the last 35 years and it is addictive. Wally World has the 4 pack of 25 target loads for around $23 and they will smoke em out to 27 yds. Trap shooters are a crazy fun...

I use 5.0 of Unique in a 638 Smith, max load for me at least, but ok even for practice. 158gr swc is the bullet but am switching to 158 gr rfn tomorrow. Will cast a hundred and give em a try.

Just got my Lee 170 gr gc mold and thought I would use it for the 30-30 plus my 30-40. Have Unique plus lots of Red Dot(old trapshooter here). Have burned many an 8lb keg of Red Dot. Think I should...

Oops, meant, never failed, not every(must be tired tonight).
