A gunsmith taught me how to release a stuck case when I had a head separation. Push a tight patch into the bore stopping just ahead of the stuck case mouth. Pour molten antimony (not lead) into the...

I'm using these GC's thus the reason they "snap" on if the filing is done correctly.

Yes. the cases are magnum cases. You can load magnum cases much hotter in the Handi rifle due to the long throat. In fact with the 180 gr. XTP and 200 gr. FTX bullets (and I assume others) you can...

828838288482885My .357 mag Handi was slugged and I believe it was .356, but can't remember for sure. At any rate it shoots just fine. I shoot both Hornady XTP's and FTX's and cast my own for target...

This thread was pointed out to me for ideas in my own experimentation efforts. My interest in a decent shot shell is for my H&R .357 magnum Handi Rifle with the long SAAMI throat. In this rifle, I...

Now that would make it an assault rifle and likely be banned.

I don't consider myself a "Prepper" by their standards, but I do think it is everyone's repsonsibility to be prepared for the most likely "unlikely" event and in our case that is that 9.0 megaquake....

My whole purpose for this rifle...in a nutshell...is versatility. I've sold or passed down all of my hunting rifles and this is my only rifle larger than a .22lr. I wanted a good "project gun" and I...

I suppose it would be funny if it were made for combat NVS, but it wasn't. As I have pointed out, it has an entirely different purpose. And it fits that purpose (or purposes) very well.

I've considered reaming to Max. but am concerned about using .357 mag. brass in the Max chamber since Max brass is so hard to find and may be phased out altogether. Do you get that ring of residue...
Forum: Single Shot Guns
Yes. I did and if I recall correctly, it was ~.3565. The 200 gr. FTX is .358 and all others I use are .357. I cast a 158 gr. in a Lee die and have found a way to gas check them. Cast bullets are...

Yes. Magnum cases. I used a fired case (unresized) and barely seated a bullet. Then chambered it slowly, letting the lands push the bullet into the case to find the COAL with a particular bullet just...

I don't know for sure, but I believe the long chamber is SAAMI standard and most likely similar in any newer .357 rifle. Maybe someone can confirm or deny that??? I've checked my chamber and can load...

I'd say the .357 is all neck. :bigsmyl2:

I'm also a pumper fan. My Benjamin Sheridan C9 .20 cal, has enough power to take down most small game at 8 pumps maximum and 5 pumps is usually all that's necessary. It never needs an outside source...

Don't have a chicken coop (yet), but I do have a fish pond and racoons like fish. My dog chases them up trees and a .357 with light target loads with 148 gr. HBWC's over 3.0 gr. of Trailboss or even...

I've always liked the Martini action. Very nice.

Now that one I've never considered or even thought about. :idea:

Economical, accurate and powerful enough for small game and pests, requires no case, primer, or powder.

Interesting that you also use an air rifle. My squirrel getter is a Benjamin Sheridan .20 cal. pumper. It will pass clear through small critters at 50'. Also punches through both sides of spray paint...

Yesterday, I went out in the woods with my son and we burned lots of .357 mags in both revolvers and this Handi. I fired so many (loaded to the Max) in the Handi that it got too hot to hold. I didn't...

I doubt our hunting styles are really that much different. To hunt, I use a scope. At 73 with poor eyesight (cataracts in both eyes) it would not be a good idea to rely on my naked eyes to identify a...

Nice! Patina on the truck isn't bad either.
