I never really considered black powder, I may eventually try some, likely a duplex load to try to keep the fouling to a minimum. For the time being I'm going to concentrate on smokeless powder,...

I have 3 lever guns, a 1907 Savage 99B, a 1958 Marlin 336 and a Winchester 94 Classic octagon made sometime in the 1980s, all 3 are chambered in the .30-30 Winchester.

I was planning to start with 12 grains of Unique, my Contender pistol shot that load pretty well. I have some Trailboss and plan to try that too although I don't have much hope for resupply at this...

What a beautiful little rifle, and an interesting cartridge. Thank you for sharing!

For now I'm going to work with the Lee 340 flat point and the Lyman 330 grain HP. If I can get either of these boolits up to 1100 fps. with acceptable accuracy I'll call it good. My initial loads...

I haven't cast any yet but I bought a Lyman Gould HP mold, I'm anxious to try it out, hopefully I get to soon!

I have a really nice .45 Colt (not .410) octagon with your choice of forend if you might be interested in that. Or I have a .45 Winchester Magnum that I believe is unfired that will shoot .45 ACP....

One of my most accurate Contender barrels is a .30 Herrett !

After a long face from the doctor last spring I have reexamined my priorities a little. I have sold off most of the guns I don't use and have gifted some things to people that I knew would truly...

The 30-20 TC is a great chambering for the Contender, I shot one for several years and mostly used the round nosed 110 grain carbine bullets. I highly recommend the Redding die set pictured above. If...

I got mine from Haus of Arms also, it took around 44 months from the time I got my name on the list.

Mine won't, while I like the frame and will likely get another at some point my frame is the pickiest one I have ever seen as far as barrel fit. Out of probably 7 or 8 barrels tried so far only one...

I read books every day and have been an avid reader since I learned how some 60 years ago. My interests are pretty eclectic but, among other topics, I enjoy US history, especially the fur trade era...

I know you are looking for a 21" but I thought I would mention this anyway in case you might be interested. I have a NIP Stainless 23" .204 Ruger barrel for sale.

Even with a rifle I use a rest every chance I get. I don't see a good rest as cheating but trying to do everything in my power to make a good shot and a clean, ethical kill. Besides being just plain...

That's a nice looking set of pistols Doug! Is James still making furniture? I haven't seen anything of GA Jim since the old Specialty Pistol days.
What a beauty that one is Stubshaft!...

I've never seen one of these, looks interesting!

A guy I shoot with sometimes came up with one in .357 Mag somewhere and had it reamed to .357 Max, it's a shooter! I have no idea where he got it.

I tried electrics back in the day and never could find one that worked for me so I used disposables. When my mom died and we were cleaning out her stuff I found my dads 1959 Gillette Red Tip. As soon...

My grandson has one, it shoots crazy good. We screwed my Banish 30 on it and had a blast!
