Gunsmiths are few and far between these days out here. Very few gun shops left. Most are very very profit driven, $100 is the going rate for a private party transfer which under state law must go...

I have a 45/70 Pedersoli rolling block, single trigger that I picked up a few years back when Cabelas was closing them out. The trigger is terrible, it must be 15+ pounds. The problem is I am...

I have a Browning 85 that was a 22-250 but I had Taylor rebarrel it to 30-30. I haven't shot it much because I am laying low in Callifornia. If you are a gun owner here you are considered lower...

I have one in 45/70. I have nothing but good to say about it. In regards to sights call Lee Shaver. He knows these guns and he will get you set up. That is what I did, like they say, do it once,...

No rain on the parade as far as I am concerned, just useful info. The mould temp could be a problem. Lead free soldier is interesting but expensive and field verification of it being lead free...

I would love to move, this place is F-ing nuts.

I have done a little more poking around and it looks like the melting point of copper is just shy of 2000F. Without shopping too hard I found a...

The deal is the BLM land is in the condor zone so no lead except in shot shells for hunting. I can plink away with lead but I can't shoot a pig, deer, coyote or rabbit with it. This place is close...

I am going to be hunting an area that requires lead free bullets, thank you State of California. I just about soiled myself when I saw how much loaded lead free ammo costs and just buying bullets...

Sorry for being slow getting back. The twist is 1:12. The guns are a Savage 24 and an 1885 Browning. I am looking for loads for hunting, plinking and paper targets. I also have a Win 94 but those...

I am looking for loads for a 30-30 single shot. Any advice?

Thanks

Thanks Tom, I sent PMs.

I just splurged and bought a repro Smith Carbine with my Cabelas points. Now for the fun part. What have you guys found shoots well in these? Any tuning tricks, etc?

A Snyder is definitely on my bucket list. Right now I have a terrible itch for a Smith Carbine. Considering which side used the Smith it would be downright unpatriotic to make plywood targets.

I don't dare post pics of mine as some may consider them offensive or maybe even too political, you know what I mean?

Bob, nice pics and attire. What is the round sitting on the bench?

Bingo!!!!

Looking good. I'd like that No 1 for the pesky gophers on the back lawn.

On the other hand if you purchase a Francotte or Gehendra you are purchasing something truly hand made in some third world sweat shop under very sweaty conditions. Picture Habeeb with nothing more...

I purchase an unmarked untouched MKII M-H from IMA a couple of years ago I had fun cleaning it up and I was pleased with the overall condition. With your first M-H the actual purchase of the rifle...

I have always shot jacketed through it and it is scary accurate. I have been thinking about doing a .22 CF postal match that requires PB Lead boolits thus the question. Not much out there for PB...

I am thinking about casting plain base boolits for a Ruger No 1 in 22-250. Anyone out here doing this? What mould and load?

Thanks

I have Lee Shaver mid range sights on my pedersoli 45/70 rolling block and I second the opinion above.

You are right about the brass. I never had a problem finding it but after reading the reply to my post above I had a look and could not find an at my regular sources. I am glad I stocked up a while...

I have an original mod 95 in 30-40 and I have never had a problem getting brass. I to have been looking at the Cabelas special run.

The whole lawyer thing with hand loads is that in a civil suit the plaintiff's attorney is going to try to make the shooter look like some sort of gun nut who was just waiting to have a chance to...

Cabelas still has a few pedersoli 45-70 rbs for $599. They are closing the model out.

good gopher gun:bigsmyl2:
