Thanks for the trip down memory lane back to the 16 gauge. My first shotgun was a 16 gauge Winchester M37 single barrel in 1958, when I was age 13 during my first hunting season. In...

littlejack,
Excellent range results. What .30/40 are you shooting, rifle or carbine? I have two rifles and a carbine and all like my cast boolits. At age 79, I can still use iron sights, but my...

Thanks for the link. WOW! Ten rounds of #9 for $28.00, or about $3 a shot. I handload #6 shot and two gas checks with a stout charge of Unique for about $.25 per shot. I bagged a...

Several years ago I saw problems for acquiring caps and primers on the horizon. I sold my hay crop for cash and went to the LGS and bought primers, caps and powder. My wife wondered why "so much"...

Excellent post. At my last church service I preached on the 27th Psalm. For all my life so far, the 27th spoke for me.
Be well.

Hillbilly,
What is "Rat Shot" that you used? Was it a reload? If so, what. I handload #6 or #7.5 shot for my farm needs. Be well.

I am no expert on radiation treatments, but I declined the 5-day per week for nine weeks (OLD) treatment over 5 days over 2 weeks. Keep asking good questions about your treatment.

Lots of smarter folks here will assist you in your quest. Are you a muzzleloader as I am with a dozen favorites from .45 to .58 caliber? It is interesting to know how fast a BP projectile...

I retired at age 51 in 1996 and came home to my 60-acre farm in Northcentral PA. I put a nice woodstove in my living room and cut trees in my 30-acre woods. I burn 2-4 cords per year. I...

Many folks shoot ramrods Downrange! Just keep your head in the game and it will not happen. I never shot a ramrod down range. Whatever?

As a Seminarian, I check into this site often and am sad there is no Holy Week Thread. I will do a church service his Friday. I am sad to see nothing about Holy Week here. Why?

My favorite PA Grouse gun is a 16 gauge 870 with IC 22-inch barrel. It worked well in the late 1990s and now we have no grouse due to massive avian predators.
On a pump gun, a 22 or 24 inch...
Forum: Cast Boolits
In my opinion, hard boolits are better. I drop ALL my cast boolits from the mold into a bucket of cold water. I size, lube with Alox and get no leading and great accuracy. All my rifle and handgun...

redriver,
Great Question! Perhaps you should ask the maker of your firearm such questions. I cannot know all the parameters around your gun and ammo. Sorry.
Be well.

Thank you for the update. Either way, I think the Swiss had the right rifles. In 1961 I bought an M1889 rifle for $13.99 at the local gun shop; I was 16 years old. I could only afford two...

I let all my rifles, both rimmed and rimless "tell" me when to stop resizing brass reloads. Rimmed cases like the .30/40 and .303 are easy to accommodate merely by backing OFF on the...

If you get acceptable accuracy, there is no need for a mirror-shine bore. I have some military surplus arms with dark bores with strong rifling. I get fine accuracy out of them all. Most of my...
