Ten Tea, thank you for the heads up on the 30-40 brass at Graf's. I ordered 100 cases for the ongoing cast boolit experiments in my old bubba'd 1898. The bore is pretty rough but not black. I'm...

Nice job there Buckshot. I love the old Marlin lever guns,nice to see a remodel come out so well.

Thanks to everyone that made this year's NCBS a great event. Special thanks to Ammohead. It was good to see old friends, and meet new ones. Mac, thank you for the framed pictures, I will pass...

Timely and well earned and deserved, all the best to you
Bruce. And excellent job Ammohead and the best to you also.

Su amigo, Nevada Duke.

Is the Friday noon lunch at the Griddle still part of this event. If so, I'm going to try to make that.

All the best, Nevada Duke.

Ammohead and Buckshot, is that really you? We are going to try and make it this year.

Best regards, Nevada duke

Happy Birthday, a little late, hope you had a goodurn.

Best regards from Nevada duke.

GuyG, you have received good advice from everyone above. You did write that you were trying to obtain accuracy at the 900 fps level. I can only add that the very best powder that I have used in the...

Thanks for jogging the old memory. I have seen that type of sight on older S&W revolvers at gun shows in the past. I have a model 1917 that could use one, considering it's present owner.

The .38 Special will respond well to loads with W296 or H110 as the propellant. But consider all aspects before going this way. The strongest cases that I have found are the GI .38 spl. cases from...

Deputy Al, you have brought up the value of my favorite .22 rf. I've had mine since the 50's and it is my favorite. I've seen nice examples selling in the $300 to $400 range at the last few...

OMGB, the Marlin 39 is a beauty, I've had mine since buying in the early 1950's with the proceeds from my paper routes. You have had good advice as to parts sources, but have you tried to go direct...

Deputy Al, I have been following your posts on the Marlin 25-20. You may have saved me from another journey into reloading hell. I had a Marlin classic in the .218 Bee cartridge, and while it shot...

\As usual, the esteemed NV Curmudgeon is correct, the Mauser is indeed a 1933. CRS strikes me every day in new and insidious ways. I really do love shooting those heavy cast boolits in the old...

Senor Buckshot is too modest, his boolit design, the Lee 245 grainer "El Supremo" is the best shooting long range cast boolit that I have ever tried. In 8mm or 30 caliber rifles. For short range...

Bruce B, barring medical emergencies or comet strikes, I will be there, probably at the Griddle by 1pm. Do you want me to bring the BBQ again? I am really looking forward to this year's event,...

Tpr Bret, I don't think that I am moving towards gas-check bullet designs as much as realizing their worth under certain circumstances. The Marlin Cowboy 1894 with its 24" barrel, pushes a 240-250...

Ahah, this is where you guys are hiding out. Curmudgeon sent me a road map and here I am. Ammohead, and Montana Gianni, a big how ya been. I hope to be there Friday in time for the Griddle...

Well Bruce, I must concede that I did not read all of the posts above word for word, and you were first as to the proper positioning of the thumb on the RC. Now I have seen your hands at work at the...

Well, this is a Bigun. If all of you DASs would learn to use all of the fingers that the Big guy gave you, you would learn to LEAVE your thumb down there at the bottom of where the so called...

Hello Felix, Sundog and Bruce B. I'm glad to be able to post again and talk to you guys. That 4756 deal sounds real good, let me know when it's going to happen and I will be in.

Powders in the...

Deputy Al, thanks for the welcome back. I realized later that when I started ranting about how much I like the .44 Special, that I didn't answer the original question. My favorite boolit molds for...

Well, this is my first time post here, and I am glad to find a bunch of .44 Special fans. I have had two .44 mags, one a Ruger Super Blackhawk, and another a S&W model 29 with 6.5 inch barrel. Back...
