I am moving that direction myself. I just put a scope on my favorite lever gun after years of iron sights.

Well, I guess I should have stayed. But the rifle was zero'ed and it being a rainy day the range was packed and had a waiting list to get a lane.
I will post an update when I get to shoot it at...

You will love it. Mine prefers CCI Minimags.
Forum: Leverguns
Yeah neither can I. The iron sights were starting to get fuzzy so to get my accuracy back I finally broke down and put a scope on it.
Hopefully next week it will be dry enough to try it outside...

I decided to finally mount a scope on my 1894CS. The sights are getting harder to deal with.
I found a Leupold M82.5X Compact for sale. I mounted it on my rifle and of course it started...

I too am a Marlin lover. My JM Marlins are terrific rifles. And I have 4 Remington made Marlins that shoot just as well as my JM's.
I know what you mean about poor machine work. Hopefully Ruger...

I'm with you on this one. I'm getting to the stage where I think that I have purchased the last keg of powder that I will ever need.
My time is precious with my great grandsons.

I must be doing something wrong. I use Lee expander dies in all of my rifle loads and I have yet to seat a bullet crooked.
I'll try again today, I am loading 75 rounds of 308.
Forum: Special Projects
I'm with you Hick. My reloading procedures are very close to yours.
What is good enough? Every one has a different answer I suppose. What follows is what works for me.
I shoot steel...

It's like the first time I heard one of my favorite songs on the "Oldie's" station.
Cold slap in the face.

I agree. I am not an AR15 expert but I did buy one of their kits. My son used it to build me a nice rifle.
With a 4X scope I routinely get 2" groups @100 yards. No failures of any kind. I...

Great info and outstanding work, thank you.
What barrel length? Just curious as I am looking for a guide gun with the 18.5" barrel.

Does the Skinner scope have a 30mm tube?

I load oversized cast bullets for the chambers of my particular guns. I could care less if my reloads fit "the tight chambers of any handguns". The sizing ring of the FCD swages my oversize loads...

I am probably the last guy on planet Earth that uses buckhorn sights. I have tried Skinner, Williams and other peeps sights on my guns and was not happy. I can't seem to stay consistent with peeps....

Thank you for the kind words but the rifle gets all the credit.

I pulled out a long neglected friend for a trip to the range today. I learned to shoot with a Remington 512. It was my late father's rifle and now resides with my brother.
I found this for sale...
I could not find a Lyman mold so I went with this:

I size them to .454" and load them over 8.5 gr of Unique. Shoots great in my Blackhawk and wonderfully in my Marlin 1894CB.

Thanks Sam,
It's funny that you mention the Henry single shot. I was actually thinking about that one instead of the lever gun. My goal is to shoot heavy subsonic loads similar to 300 Blackout....

Hello neighbors,
I have been looking at a Henry 30-30 with the steel receiver. Do any of you guys shoot a Henry 30-30? How well do they do with cast?
Thanks for your time,
