Palmetto State Armory had it last time I looked. They actually had a large selection of .22 mag ammo, and the prices were fair as well.

As others have stated, the 30gr Vmax really breathes new life into the .22 mag; but just like in any other caliber, some guns have a preference. I recently bought a Marlin 882 from 1989. It does ok...

Unfortunately, we have only been able to deer hunt with centerfire rifles for about 10 years here in Indiana. Because of that, there are very few vintage rifles in circulation. Plenty of slug guns...

That is true. Honestly, I give zero consideration to anything Henry. I won't argue that they are popular, and American-made is always a plus, but they are just butt-ugly, IMO.
Also, I haven't...

This is actually interesting. I bought a new 92 .357 last winter. It's a great little rifle. I could see this having a street price of under $800, which might make Marlin a little nervous.

My Marlin performs very well with that bullet and 3031.

1-2 meals per week include wild game in our house. Usually more during the fall and winter since I have a policy of not putting small game in the freezer (it never seems to come out.)

Glen Fryxell did a great article on loading the .444. I have developed 2 loads for mine using his data. A 240gr cast PC using 4198 and 270gr Speer Deep Curl using H322. Both have proved to be very...

Nothing on the gun. It dates to 1928 and has very nice wood with checkering. We'll have to see if there are any marks on the new barrel.

Well, looks like I solved my problem in a different way. I just got the winning bid on a 30" full choke Model 11 barrel. Not the ideal configuration for me, but at least it will put the gun back to...

I would have to say I'm the opposite. I've had a few guns with polychokes and they don't seem to be quite as ugly as this thing. The Cutts just looks like a corn cob on the end of the barrel, then...

Thank you all for the replies. Patrick L, thank you especially for actually answering my question! I actually do like shorter barrels in shotguns, so I think I may give this a go and have the Cutts...

I have a Remington Model 11 12ga. It's a beautiful shotgun, except for the fact someone installed a Cutts compensator on the barrel at one time. I have considered having the comp removed and having...

Glad to see this. I have a good supply, but it's always good to know there is a source of new brass available.

Before the stupidity started, Hornady was making 25-35 as part of their Leverevolution line, so modern ammo and brass does exist. Posting a WTB ad in the classifieds here would probably be another...

I did not pre-heat the oven this time, though I have used it once before and didn't notice any smoking that time.
The bullets look great!

More or less. They sat for a week or so before I got a chance to try them out. I didn't wash them or anything though.

That's correct, I didn't read any instructions about the mat (if there were any). I got a 2-pack of cheapo's off Amazon. Also, my oven is a cheap little thing from Walmart. If I continue down this...
