6pt when it is packed up to travel you would think I had a custom pool cue in that sack cept for the Marlin on one side! Yup I have the case and they are getting me a copy of the owners manual. Looks...

The "wax" cookie is used in BP cartridges to help keep the fouling soft and not for protection of the boolit base. It also helps increase accuracy. Back in the day Sharps recommended using a lube...

Soda bread is like a very big biscuit and the more you work it the tougher/harder it turns out.

T-o-m who likes to put either raisins or dried veggie bits in his soda bread

No matter what recipe you used do NOT over cook it. Cook like a tuna steak!

Remember that the sharps buffalo rifles used SOFT lead boolits to kill off about 55 million of them BIG criutters. And if I remember right buffalo are just a mite bigger than elk. There is no doubt...

Tis true folks I found me a Marlin 39 TDS .22 and it came home today! For them who don't know what a TDS is it is a (T)ake (D)own (S)pecial model in .22. Also the barrel is only 16" long. That's the...

I had one of the early Rugers in 41 magnum with the 4 5/8" barrel. Brutal recoil at best and the muzzleblast was horrific. Traded it on a S&W Model 57. Easys to shoot and much quieter with its 8 3/8"...

Try either the 311041 or the fling brick,aka RanchDog's 308 boolit. Either one will hurt a deer bad.

Hey I got around the bayonette thing by geting me an M-38! NO mounted bayonette! LOL But with the short light (relative to the full sized rifles) if you shoot full up loads you gonna want a pad of...

OOOOOOHHHHHH I want one in 327 Federal! Yes I do!

If you fit the boolit to the throat and barrel on that Marlin it will shoot better than you or any of us can hold it.

Good luck with the chemo!

The early Marlins (pre mid 50's) were NOT d&t from the factory guys. And I have a 1950 SC in 35 remington so Marlin made levers in 35R atleast back to 1950 guys. Brophy does have some good info BUT...

Well I have a Rossi in 454 and that barrel is mity thin. If you are NOT a competant gunsmith I'd recommend having one do the dovetail work. Yeah a tight spot is bad enough but if you cut it to deep...

+1 on wha tRon said. I have one of their O/U shsotguns in 410 and, tho nothign fancy. it is built like a tank. Works well for me and if I fall with it...so what? It not a hi-dollar gun.

I didn't...

As good as W-296 and H-110 are for hot loads they are NOT the only powders that can safely do maximum loads and to state that is not correct information to share with noobies!

I had 2 Crocketts when they first came out. First one ha dserious trigger problems. Second with ok trigger I could NEVER get it to shoot. It sits in the corner now just to remind me that cheap rifles...

MG your Marlin for sure is a 1973. Has NO CB safety and has microgroove rifling. Start with either the Remington 200 grain coreloks or the RanchDog boolit. Also the receiver is predrilled for scope...

Nope visitors are allowed to read but not post if I remember correctly. And the poster's "handle" is appropriate because he IS the most knowledgeable person I know of on the 35 Remington!

Get you the RanchDog 350 grain and 420 grain molds.

Funny that everyone is so down on those Chiappa made Lil Sharps. I have 2 of them. One in 45 Colt and one in 38-55. They BOTH shoot way better than me or my friends can hold them. And I didn't pay...
