Tool maker TN: I like my 35 whelen with cast. Only made the mistake of shooting jacketed factory equivalent loads once
You're right, it will loosen your fillings
I shoot a 230 gc cast bullet...

Toolmaker TN, I thought about the 35/30-30 until I priced the dies (ouch). That's one of the reasons that I went the 38-55 route. Lee makes dies. Also more load data. I also had a 35 whelen handi...

I just got back my handi rifle barrel from JES. It started life as a 223 and was rebored to 38-55. Just getting started with it but it's showing real promise. Ii would highly recommend JES to...

I've got a 35 whelen in an H&R Handi-rifle. Got it to be a cast bullet rifle. Works great for that using a 245 gr cast st 2000 fps. I loaded a few factory equivalent loads once using 225 jacketed...

An alternative to dragging deer when it's too rough to use a cart is one of the plastic sleds. Use mine a lot. Slides over rocks logs, stumps, etc. Also keeps all the dirt, leaves grass out of...

This conversation makes me appreciate my 30-30, 30-06, 243, 223.

Oh, forgot 45-70

I've been eyeing the Glock 20 in10mm. Who has one and is reloading with lead boolits? Theresslways the ongoing debate about Glocks and lead. I imagine if you clean it regularly, it shouldn't be...

I went back to BP years ago. My T/C sidelock worked ok with it as long as I used the hot Dynomit Nobel #1075 caps. Any other caps resulted in hang fires. IMHO, it was pyrodex that killed of the...

You might try sticking the action in a pot of boiling water for 15-20 min. That will put a lot of heat into the action without having to worry about ruining the temper. Did this once on a screw...

That boy has a lot of time on his hands.

That ain't right. Back in the day Ramline used to make a traditionally shaped plastic stock. That kind of made sense on a hunting rifle
Looked like the henry all-weather rifles. That tactical...

Having trouble finding 2400 locally. I see some online but don't want to pay the haz mat fee. Anybody else having this problem.

Buckwheatpaul, I used to have one of those. I sent it to cylinder and slide to have the sights changed. They specialize in hi-powers. The one thing that I noticed with mine was that it didn't...

I was at the range on Tuesday and witnessed a ka-boom. Just two of us on the 100 yd range. The other guy was testing loads in hos 03A3. All of the sudden I heard a boom instead of a bang. I...

That ain't right

I went thru the same exercise. I couldn't tell any difference between the regular and mag primers.

It's good to hear all these good reports on the cva scout. I've been eye-ballin one in 44mag since the handi-rifles have got so stupid expensive. The only comment that I have to Vonfilms original...

Do a search for Phil schoomaker and 357. Famed brown bear guide preferred a 357 with 180 gr boolits as a backup. I'm pretty sure I'd trust his recommendations.

I also read all of Col. Coopers articles in G&A back in the day. The one thing that I remember is he was recommending a 230 gr truncated cone shaped boolit foe the 45 acp.

I've had the shoulder set back on my 35 whelen. I'm going to seat a boolit out to touch the rifling and re- fireworks the shoulder. Wondering what load to use. Thinking about 16-17 gr 2400 with a...

Running rabbits with beagles is about as much fun as you can have.

+1 on what Ghosthawk said. I've shot 2 (slow learner) factory loads out of my handi 35w. Back to the topic, other than the stand up bench mentioned
. Make sure you're sitting up as straight as...

Yep, that's the calif proposition 65 warning label. Wood dust is on the proposition 65 list. You have to understand that in California, there are lawyers that make a living on prop 65 law suits. ...

After going to gunshows for many years, I decided that when used car dealers get drummed out of the business for being unethical, they start selling guns.

I had the same experience as castaway with the fiber optic front sights. Also they're a little fragile. Finally settled on wide blade front sight. Works fine and also easier to see in low light....
