So, does anyone make a barrel for the Marlins that is optimum for cast bullets? I like to carry a Marlin and now have to use rounds with less recoil than 30-06. So a Marlin in 30-30 would fill the...

You are wise in asking questions first. Elk can be found from the ocean beaches in Oregon/Washington to the most
remote lands west of the Mississippi. If you are not experienced in remote hunting...
This sounds like most of the conversations around the fire at elk camp. It also sounds like a typical lead into
a conversational trap for new guys especially if they are city folk.

If you have done this, please explain or show photos of what you did to adapt it to the Green Machine.

My two cents worth. I use a Lyman M die with a 31R expander for loading .311 cast or jacketed bullets for
my CZ-527 in 7.62x39. I took the expander out of the sizing die and use only a decapping...

So, it appears that Marlin has had a variety of chamber dimensions over the years. I have consistently heard that
the weak point of Marlins was the micro-groove rifling. Sounds like the chamber...

To Certaindeaf,
Yes I did read that thread and enjoyed it. To be fair about it I should admit that I have a degree in mathematics.
Appropriately it is a B.S. degree. I didn't hang around to...

Several companies offer copper plated cast or swaged lead bullets. My question is how soft
is this coating? Can I treat these just like normal cast bullets when it comes to the diameter
of the...

One thing to note - NO ONE makes a truly low rings for a CZ-527. You may find that available rings are way too
high for a CZ-527 with a Lux stock. I have one with an American stock and one with a...

Does anybody have the accurate throat dimensions, length and diameter, that Marlin uses for
30-30 chambers?

What kind of polishing stuff do you add to new, virgin walnut shell media?

Thanks everyone. After researching your leads I took my two Lee units, glued in the blue Dillon tube adapter,
strapped on the wife's electric toothbrush to the tube and it works well. Sure speeds...

Looked at a Mitchel 300 but bought a Dam Quick for $19. This was about 1962. Still works fine and has not
required any maintenance. Still have the kit of spare parts that came with it. Used it...

Does anyone make a receiver or "peep" sight that will attach to a CZ-527's rear scope ring mount?
Forum: Sights and Optics
The advice by varmitpopper is well done. Only part of this should be applied to your camera lenses because they
are NOT sealed like a rifle scope. If any of the solvents get past the edge of the...

Ruger chambered the No.1 in 218 Bee awhile ago. You could get a TC Contender or Encore and get whatever
218 Bee barrel you want. I prefer it to the Hornet.

Ruger 77 MKii versus a Hawkeye - where do they differ?
I have a Ruger MkII short action with the horrible boat paddle stock. Will a Hawkeye stock fit it?
Is the action any different? Where do...
