You likely need a pea (southern pea, cowpea, field pea as often named) with a short season for your location. There is a bunch of varieties out there. try shopping Baker Heirloom seeds or Southern...

OP, there are plenty of published data for both 38 and 357 and that is the way you should arrive at your answer. If you follow the casual comment on 20 or 21 grains of H110 and try that in a 38...

@OP, you are thinking right on the Weaver 1-3x variable. Just the right size, price, eye relief, and magnification range. I use one on my Marlin 30-30 with complete satisfaction. I have had it for...

A Marlin 30-30 for ease of cleaning from the breach, sheer fun at the range, and effective hunting tool. Then on your next birthday, decide that you need to add a Marlin 45-70 in case you ever go...

I bought my first rifle, a brand new Marlin 336T in 30-30 almost 50 years ago for $75 hard to come by money. It is the one rifle that I would not part with, though eventually a lucky grandson will...

I agree that the fixed 6x is too much fixed power for the 45-70. Mine carries a 2.5x though I would prefer a low power variable. It handles a 340 grain RFN at moderate velocity quite accurately.

While I might enjoy a 357 carbine, I would never give up my 30-30 marlin to get one. The latter is more versatile and plenty fun to shoot, and I have had many great experiences with it over the...

I have a 45+ year old Lyman Spar-T press that just keeps chugging along getting the job done. It drops primers on the floor so I catch them with a container in my left hand while stroking with my...

I share Mica's opinion. That weight bullet in a 30 caliber has to be a long bullet and at subsonic velocities fairly easy to lose stability. It would require a steep twist to stabilize.

Yes to the swivel gun reference. Would be great for fending off home invaders for that purpose loaded with grape. Or taking out a flock of turkeys at once come the spring season. Alternatively, go...

If economy is important to you, then component costs and powder consumption would suggest that the 308 is probably the best choice, followed closely by the 30-06, the latter being more effective with...

Apparently this is the major thing he learned from all our duck hunting adventures.

I am on a calorie restricted diet and losing body fat. Here is a recent breakfast that I concocted. The dog...

The solid foundation to your family security makes the airport job better. It frees up some time to feed your entrepreneurial activities on the ranch and maybe other possibilities that you might...

Elbow, whatever you load, make sure it is effective and your child can shoot it with sufficient accuracy before going afield. You could seriously damage a child's enthusiasm for hunting if a lost...

Doesn't that depend on the angle of the V? I believe that is why Blammer said the constant C was unique to each V block.

I too vote for the 30-30 for simplicity, easy brass availability, and effectiveness. I shoot mine in 14 inch contender using the discontinued sierra 135 SSP bullet with good results on the few deer...

Your question is answered if it fits your budget! Love those 336s.

Well, it is cheap now. Why aren't we building our strategic reserves? That would help support a stable price and keep the U.S. industry intact.

Get a bigger gun. I do not advocate pushing the upper limits of what a firearm can do. A round out of the hornet at 30 yds might be effective, but at 100 not so much. Why not get a more versatile...

Simple breakfast: cup leftover rice in cereal bowl. Make depression in rice. Add either butter or sour cream. Crack egg in depression and microwave for 1.5 minutes on high. Season with some...

IMHO, if you want more oomph, get a bigger gun, a Marlin 1895 comes to mind. Otherwise stick to the Saami specs, if for no other reason, liability considerations. Bear in mind that said specs...

In the OP, the intention was moderate loads. Porting means his gun is somewhere else getting modified instead of at the range having fun. Load up some fun loads and shoot it. I have shot full bore...

Mine shoots every thing I have tried quite accurately. I sure can't imagine delaying acting on such a generous offer. Someone else might just pony up the market value of the rifle.

My preferences run to big bore revolvers over pistols; Contenders are great, too. I also like center fire rifles in bolt, lever, and single shot actions. Military bolt rifles are neat and were easy...

Fishman makes my bullets and they are all beautiful. Some 340 gr bullet shot incredibly tight groups in my Marlin 1895. I think it is in his genes.
