Handling both, the 45-70 was light and lively. The 458 was like a semi-truck axle.

For carrying, I bought the 45-70 (two over the years). If I was bench shooting, or elephant shooting with a gun...

On a bolt action, for me, it doesn't work out with frequent changes, like going to a range with 3 barrels. It is reasonable to have a varmint cartridge-barrel all year, then put on a big game barrel...

Look for wire soap dishes with closely spaced wires without crossbars. Some can be used upright, others must be turned over.

No cartridge is useless if there is a gun that uses it. But sometimes it is hard to get the gun and the cartridges into the same hands.

25-35 Winchester: cast, plink, varmints, or deer.

30 Carbine: load like a 32-20, but with tough brass.

Look like from 0.354 to 0.357 bullets. And a 0.355 groove dia.

How far back does it have to be to be "traditional"?

Heavy unset pull is normal.

Has it done this as long as you've had it, or did it just start?

Loosen the center and rear trigger guard screws a bit and try it. Keep the front screw tight. The wood may have compressed and a...

Primary extraction = Happens while lifting the bolt handle

Secondary extraction = Happens while pulling the bolt handle to the rear.

Ejection = Tossing the case from the rifle, after the first...

Check the rear of the left locking lug. If the bolt has been slammed open against the cutoff too many times, the slot for the ejector can get peened over and reduce the size of the slot, causing...

Since the 30 Carbine gets mentioned once in a while in this thread, here is a photo to think about. :)

I don't see any, but I've got a couple of ad blockers running.

Related to headstamps and marking cases, whenever possible, I always try to make cases from a donor, so that if the reformed case is put into a rifle which matches the headstamp, it either won't...

All my life I've hear various stories on this subject, often conflicting.

Today I ran across an explanation that seems to answer my questions.

Haven't used a press primer in over 30 years, and don't even have priming parts for the A2. Shifted to Lee hand primer when they came out and still using it. But I did find a great bargain in a...

When I started reloading, I used to (1950's-60's) hear that 30-06 blanks were made from brass that didn't meet specs for some reason, and shouldn't be used for full power loads. I don't know if it...

Many years ago, I had a gunsmith order one for me for a 7mm Rolling Block. He sent it back--said it was threaded wrong. He didn't tell me the details.

Centerfire or rimfire?

Maybe one of these.
