The latest Win lever guns were 26 twist. The so called Legacy guns were anyway. The twist is absolutely perfect for any and all ammo you'd want to shoot. ... felix
Mod 19s were a dime a dozen back in the heyday of the gun. Sized perfectly for the 327. Sleeve the barrel and cylinder holes. A JES job? ... felix

The current Cooper line is the equal of the old Kimber of Oregon line. The current Kimbers are a few dollars short until otherwise shown. Want an accurate BR quality 22 out of the box? Check out...

Quality high precision parts like for BR guns in general. Want a cheap off-the-shelf BR gun? You need one of these. My current favorite: Daystate. ... felix
Hartford to Springfield was 20 miles, and with New England traffic, that was a lot of time and effort. Might as well make the time worth while, so taking a suitcase full of guns was most imperative...

I do not find ballistics too difficult to understand. Understanding depends upon the teacher's interests as well as that of the receiver's. ... felix
Bolt unlocking happens on all older N frames. When I lived in Hartford, I was a consistent visitor, say every 6 months for 4 years, at Smith with a suitcase full of guns each time. Some were...

As of right now that gun can be only an "artful" gun. I have a long way to go to get back into a shooting condition, but when considering Tim's expression of his heart for me via that object, the...

You got the case size you want in the standard 06. Why not use it without "qualming" about it? Remember, a lead boolit will shoot faster than a condom, suggesting the 06 size is slightly large....

BigSlug, take a good look at TheProfessor's last paragraph. Memorize it. Doesn't your modern car run much better than those pre-80's/90's? The only real difference between them is in the...

Actually, I like the idea myself. My preference would be the stock 8 Mauser case but with the neck length of the 30-30 for deep seating purposes. Why, because my barrel would have zero freebore...

You answered your own question in your first paragraph. That is why setting the parameters during the desired time interval is called calibrate. ALL auto-control devices, PID inclusive or not, need...

Yep, I am very impressed with those machines. I have always preferred accuracy over power, but that's mainly because of the noise and recoil of power. Different strokes for different sensory...

Me too, Rick!
Wayne, lead pressure - versus - both mold and lead together temps, is the only game in town. It is just sometimes easier with a good ladle to find that perfect situation. Of...
