That at least gives me somewhat of a timeline as opposed to what I was getting from the shop. Thank you.
Sierra doesn't list H4895, but it lists IMR 4895.

Is Marlin actually making any? I've seen 336's and 1894's in 44 mag, but haven't seen any in 357. I'm asking because I ordered one from a local shop over a year ago, and every time I ask about I get...

You should be able to at least hear some noise when you turn it on if the fuse isn't blown, also the tubes should glow if they have power.
Looking closer at the picture, I see it has a switch for...

Check the fuse, might be blown. Could be a bad speaker or bad tube(s). If the caps in the radio are still paper ones, they need to be replaced. The old style paper in oil capacitors will eventually...

Ebay is probably your best bet. King stopped production in the mid 50's.

I have an older set of CH dies and have had no problems with them. They work just as well as most other sets I have used. As for the bolt issue, maybe it's sticking on the rear action screw. Just...

Try threading the screw into a hex nut of the appropriate size, and then clamp the nut in a vise. This should give you access to work on the screw head.

I hadn't really thought about the bottom of the action much, it was just an idea I had while I was half asleep. Looking at the bottom of my 98 and comparing it to the 91, it doesn't look like a...

I have a 91 Argentine that I am planning on restocking over this winter, and was wondering if 93, 95 etc. bottom metal would fit? I've been having problems with getting the last round to feed...
You might want to load up a dummy round and see if the soupcan will work in your chamber. In my Savage I had to seat that boolit so deep that the check was well below the neck. I decided against...
The few that I have are large, but they are several years old. It's possible that they changed them.
Forum: Military Rifles
You mentioned using the rifle single shot only, and not feeding from the magazine. Loading directly into the chamber can damage the extractor, as it is not designed to snap over the rim of the...
Forum: Cast Boolits
They should all work fine if they cast large enough in diameter. I would start off with one of the wadcutters myself in some 38 brass (358-63, 358-495, 358-432). The 356-402 is a design for the 9mm,...

50 cal roundballs would work well, too. If you use sinkers, make sure that they are lead, and not zinc. The zinc ones are way to hard to use for slugging a throat or barrel.

I don't know anyone at Hatch, but one of the guys I used to work with up here is now an RO at Vogtle. He seems to like it much better down there.

My wife said she had a bear cross the road in front of her last fall in Macedon Center. It wasn't too far from where there was a pretty bad accident, and the life flight chopper must have spooked it.

During my hunters safety class, one of the instructors told us that bullets that ricocheted off of water could actually start to go faster.

I have a 1948 Official Police, but I've never run Red Dot through it. I've only used Bullseye and Unique. The sights on these are regulated for a 158 grain boolit, so lighter ones will print lower....
Forum: Cast Boolits
Have you mic'd any of the boolits that you have cast? There's a good chance that they'll drop bigger than .356.

I have one of the ones with the half bent bolt also. The muzzle on mine was dinged up, so I took it to the smith to have it cut and recrowned. While it was there, I had him put on a Lyman receiver...

I'm not an expert, but if I was a coyote I'd look for food year round! I believe that a puggle is a pug and poodle cross.

My neighbor to the North of me raises Boer goats and uses Pyrenees to guard his herd. They seem to work pretty well, and they are friendly to people.
