When I got my 30-30 a couple of years ago that was my first thought too. That is until I decided to pull it apart and slick the trigger up a bit and found that about the only resemblance...

I've been kicking around finding a Marlin '95 Cowboy for a few months now but my heart just hasn't been in it. It was my understanding that Henry was bringing out a Brass receiver 45-70 but I forgot...

That's a very informative article. I think that the one thing that the author neglected to mention is that shooting cast projectiles is more of an art form than in a science, yes there are certain...

As the old TV commercials used to say "Your mileage may vary" and it probably should. Although my '94 is a pre-Remlin I haven't found any issues other than with leading the Micro-Groove barrel, that...

Last year I developed a load for my '94 44 Mag using plain base cast boolits. Getting the correct boolit/powder/charge combination took some work but that's all part of the fun. Personally I'm not...

I happen to have two cannon ball molds but I lack the cannon, my wife put her foot down. Once mold is a 2 1/4" 3 pounder and if I recall the other is an 8 pounder but I don't have a clue as to the...

So the new spring kit came in from Midway a couple of weeks ago. The first thing I did was to install the wire trigger/bolt spring, no problem there. Following that I installed the new reduced...

I gave up on sorting a couple of years ago. Now when I smelt I do sort out the first five or ten pounds just to make sure that my starting melt is nothing but Pb. Once that starts to melt though I...

I get that but the picture on the "Flat spring pak" shows a wire spring. I suppose they probably just re-used the picture.

I would like to know what an "Extra power base pin spring" is though.

Actually MidwayUSA has 'em in stock which surprised me. I'll order the set when we get home from the hospital.

So I'm on Brownells right now and I'm looking at the Wolff SAA Shooters Pak and I've got a couple of questions:

What is a "Flat Shooters Spring Pak" versus the non-flat pak? Both show wire...

I didn't have a lot of time to look and I was using my phone. I would like to replace the main spring on at least one of my SAA's. I was going to "trim" the spring a year or so ago but didn't get...

I got a hold of Uberti a couple of days ago, they have one in the mail on its way to me. I did look at Brownells but the wire trigger/bolt spring for Uberti is out of stock on their site. I'm sure...

I think I'll take the advice given and get in touch with Brownells. I've thought about modifying the main spring on this revolver but haven't gotten a round tuit as they say. It did get slicked up...

Last week a buddy of mine from Texas was up here in Wyoming. Since he rarely gets to shoot down there I took him out for some R&R along with a couple of lever guns, a 1911 and one of my favorite...

Bullets are "store bought" and usually plated or jacketed. Boolits are custom cast from lead alloys or pure lead. For the most part when you see the term boolit it refers to a hand cast projectile...

StrawHat hit the nail on the head, reloading Black Powder and reloading smokeless are NOT comparable. Black Powder can be both safer yet more hazardous than smokeless and rules regarding smokeless...

I loaded 44 Special only for years for my '94 Marlin. The "Marlin Jam" can definitely be an issue if you get our OAL too short and the first time it happens will drive you nuts. Once you've got...

A couple of years ago I had pretty much the same thing happen except I wanted more flow not less. I managed to back the rod right out of the threads on my 4-20 and the race was on.

Since then I...

Lee makes a 356-120TC that is almost identical. Keep in mind that the 356 is arbitrary to what alloy you're using. I typically get .358-.359 drops from this mold and use it for both 38 Spc and 9mm...

I've tried to read all the posts but I will admit to skipping the ones that just want to argue so if I'm repetitive it's my fault and I apologize.

I recently purchased a LoadMaster about three...

When I'm at the range I breach load both the Henry and the Marlin so the magazine loading isn't an issue. When hunting I of course use the magazine but reloading isn't an issue.

I have both a Henry 30-30 (Brass with octagon barrel) and a Marlin 336. The Marlin is of course considerably lighter than the Henry and shooting cast boolits in the 1,700-1,800 fps range is no big...

If they should actually do this it's gonna be painful for my wallet. Hopefully they'll put a full length barrel on it and do away with that "sorta" carbine barrel length. I'd also like to see an...

I did some pretty extensive testing with 800X and 44 Mag out of a Marlin lever gun this last winter. The boolits were .431-210RF's cast from COWW's +2% tin with a hardness of 12-14BHN.

I started...
