saw suggestion to just get a 336 in 44 mag. first they are not real common. 2nd, not too many were made because it was a flawed design and they just didn't function very well. I believe most that are...

on the 336 you could modify it with a pistol style stock, lower tang/trigger plate and curved lever but I'm not sure on the 1894. those parts might be real hard to impossible to find. the only 1894 I...
I have a few Lyman molds some old and some newer. some time after they changed to the orange plastic box the quality seemed to go down and there were problems with molds dropping undersized bullets....

+1 for the full case of leverevoluition and rcbs 32-170. I dont know why but I have been led to believe the twist in the 32 win spl barrel was 1-14 and the 30-30 is 1-12. earlier someone wrote that...

I was going to say 21 grains of 4198. but pbcaster beat me to it. Ive shot that load often in my 375 win with both 38-55 and 375 brass with both of the Lyman bullets and from the lee mold also. 20-21...

maybe I just dont get it. why would 30 carbine be any cheaper to shoot than any other small center fire round, 38 spl, 357 mag, 9mm, 40 S&W, 32-20, ect. its easy to find inexpensive once fire brass...
