When I competed with the 44 magnum I used IMR 4227 (22.5 grs.) behind the RCBS 240 boolit and the same weight of WW296 for J-word Sierras.

Way back in the early 70's I bought a used Winchester model 12 in 16 gauge and that started a love affair that exists through today. I've used it with slugs to hunt every type of mammal and game...

I have had many conversations with Veral at LBT over the years and have become a firm believer in his bullet designs. I virtually gave up on HP bullets in favor of wide meplat designs and their...
The 30/30 Contender has relatively light recoil so there are a lot of options available to you. You can probably use a NCstar, Burris, Bushnell or search the used scopes on flea-bay.

I still have some of the green/white boxed Large Rifle primers. They have to be old because they are marked $6.75 a box! But, they work perfectly.
One of the very few 12 Ga. shotguns I own (I generally prefer 16's) is an old 1903 Ithaca Lewis with beautiful Damascus barrels. I could shoot low- pressure smokeless loads through it but, it is...

If the seller does not send you the missing pieces of brass, he/she should at least offer to refund you a portion of the price paid!

I have a set of Bearpaw grips from my Lipsey Flattop 44 special that I am no longer using. For the life of me I do not remember what type of wood it is but it "shor is purty" to my mind. Price is...
About 10 years ago I loaded up some light plinking loads for the kids using 4.0 grs. of Clays behind a 200 gr. SAECO RNFP. It motors along at 812 fps. shot to 1 1/2"@ 25 yards, and I decided that it...

I have my Dads Model 58, 20 Ga.. It was the only shotgun he hunted with, and he shot pillowcases full of doves with it. I have shot it but, truth be told it just doesn't fit me as well as it did...
I bought my Premier Grade FA83 back in 1984. It has over 9,000 rounds through it and the majority of them were from a mold that Veral (LBT) made for me, a 300 grain LFN boolit, ahead of 33.0 - 36.0...
