Credit where credit is due. This gentleman took care of business & the merchandise was better than expected....nice to get a pleasant surprise from time to time. Thanks Johnny!

I have had a number of large caliber handguns over the years, both single and double action and currently own three in .44 Magnum...a SBH, SRH and a S&W 29-3. All are wearing a Hogue grip for a...

Canted sights on a new production Marlin? You betcha:-) I work part time in a LGS and am aware of at least three or four sent back in the last month. I took two of them out of the box. One .22 bolt...

I have had more trouble getting my Marlin 1894 in .44 Magnum to group well with cast bullets than any other gun I have ever owned. Most commercial bullets are too small in diameter and too hard. The...

I have owned several .44 Magnum revolvers over the years, mostly S & W and Ruger. The 5" Redhawk in a satin finish stainless grey was a favorite in the looks department, but I could never get it to...

I've had good luck with both RL-7 and IMR-3031 for full power loads in my Marlin 1895 with both 350 & 405 gr. projectiles. Gotten a number of reduced loads made up with 4759 and Unique, but have not...

Thanks a bunch....can always use new data!

Just completed a transaction with this gentleman. Very prompt & everything went as it should. As a bonus, the brass was just drop dead gorgeous & fairly priced. Gonna have to look in to one of those...

I don't think there are too many states that allow the use of a rifle for turkey hunting. Wish Kentucky were one of them! I'd love to give that a try. Shotguns just don't interest me as much.

I have tried several different designs in the 148-158 gr. range in my K-38...It will shoot most anything pretty well, but really likes a 148 gr. full wadcutter over 3.4 gr. Bullseye. Just need to...

Thanks for the link....cleared up some misconceptions on my part. Looks like I can use either military or commercial cases for reloading and fire the ammo in either the AR-15 or the Remington Model...

Thanks for the continuing education guys. I was aware of the difference between commercial and military brass. My understanding being that the military stuff was thicker walled & therefore had less...

Not sure exactly what I have going on here & would like some advice from those experienced with this powder/caliber combo. Long story short, I picked up a Remington Model 7 in .223 yesterday with the...

You and me both:-)........looking to start casting for my 03/A3 as well.

I have several Lee sizing dies as well as some of their other equipment. I also own RCBS, Lyman and products from other manufacturers. There is a reason Lee is less expensive.

I had heard recently that a local sporting goods chain got their ammo shipment on Friday's, and were selling at normal pre-panic prices. So...I get there about 15 minutes after they open & they are...

Still unable to find any of the 5744....but did turn up 2 lbs. of the SR-4759 yesterday and bought that. It looks like a great choice as well with very good velocity to pressure ratios. Got some Doc...

Thanks guys....plenty of data out there for this powder with jacketed bullets or the heavier cast bullets, but wasn't finding much for the 350-375 gr. range of cast. I appreciate the input. Now all I...

Just picked a quantity of cast bullets for my 45/70's...some 350 gr. and 375 gr. Both are LWNFP and have both PB and GC versions. I am looking for mostly Trapdoor level performance in deference to my...

Well........dang. Why didn't I think of that?

Thanks for the tip!

Yep...experimenting with different loads is one of the most enjoyable aspects of the shooting sports for me. I have yet to shoot the new to me Redhawk with the Hi Viz sights...never mind a red dot or...

Excellent advice as usual. When developing a load that will be used in the Marlin, you are going to have to pay attention to both the bullet profile and C.O.A.L., as they are known to be picky...

^^^ This.

I check mine every time I close it to make sure it is fully closed. That said...load some up and give 'em a try. If they will chamber you are probably good to go. My sizer gets less use...

Alliant, Hodgdon and Accurate all list their complete data online...probably others as well, but those three alone cover a lot of the more common powders. I am also a fan of the Lyman handbook. It is...

I sure do appreciate all the responses & it is very interesting to see how others are set up. So far I've bought a Hi Viz front sight, a set of the Hogue Tamer grips and a Wilson spring kit. I'm...
