Wow , shocking!!! So who would have thought a heavier gun shooting a bullet just over half the weight at 80%of the velocity is easier to hit with?? Wow,

I sincerely hope you have that gun in hand…..
Sorry, can’t answer your question, but since you (hopefully) own it you can measure it up:)

Remington built and marketed true left handed 870s, I got one for my BIL. Also the safety on the ones I have can be removed and flipped over for left operation, somewhere in the early 90s that became...

You can chamber load M37 and M17 Remington guns, I do it all the time. Open the action, now move the slide about 3/4 inch forward. Take a shell and slip it up into the action and into the chamber,...

A topic dear to my heart! Best is subjective, the 870 has to be close if not it. It’s a solid gun that handles like a much more expensive gun. The M12 is a fantastic gun, but expensive and complex to...

Not universally true, a 10-22 is no different than a single shot to me, it just has this handy place to store 10 more 22 shells. Never owned an AK and sold the AR because it was about as interesting...

I have about zero interest in it, and that was before I saw the 1 in 3 twist! Now, that superfast twist and the resulting high RPM, will increase terminal performance via centrifugal force trying to...
No interest on my part, but maybe it will get someone like CZ to bring out a nice pistol in 7.65x21. I like 32s but 50k pressure is going to bark out of the small bore and the brass is odd, just like...

Yes they do, if its in good shape with all the parts present. There are really no spares and only one gunsmith that really knows much about them. Go over to the Remington Society and read up on them....

In my 696 no dash the Lee 200 shot very well and a Lyman 200 designed for the 44-40 was excellent. The Lyman was a 2 1/2 inch shooter at 25 yards, sorry I don’t remember the load as I just had a...

The primer is likely to exit the case at about 611 FPS too!

Glad you got it solved, my 14 and both 141s eat those like candy! I don’t know how familiar you are with those rifles, but a too long cartridge causes a really nasty tie up. Like take the gun apart...
Forum: Lead and Lead Alloys
Look in the stickies for the spreadsheet for alloys. The carnival shot, bb size usually but there is some in the #2 range as well, is pretty much pure lead. Shotgun shell shot, say 6 to 9 , will have...

I can’t say it any better than above, but you asked for a velocity number. How bout put a 250ish gr fp or hp thru the heart or both lungs at 750fps or better and you will have skinning to do.

Won’t hurt the SB2 frame, will not be fun to shoot!

I have a 30 Rem M141, about 10 years now. I now have a set of 30 Rem dies but have loaded with 30-30 dies and a Lee classic(whack a mole) in 30-30 everything I’ve shot. The shoulder angle is...

If that is the case, why do I consistently see a 10% reduction in mpg when I use 10% alcohol gas vs pure gas in my vehicles?? Actual measurements, I’m an engineer, only interested in the real data.
Forum: Our Town
On the fuel economy E10 vs straight gas, I show a clear and repeatable loss of 10% mpg when using the alcohol gas. 96 Z71 vortec 350, 2003 5.3, and 2002 3800 v6. 10 %added ethanol =10% loss of fuel...

I buy new molds on occasion, but used in a heartbeat from here. I wouldn’t touch a mold from fleabay with a 10 foot pole. I buy used guns, almost nothing new I have any interest in, last new was the...
Sounds like a nice find! Is it marked 16ga 2 3/4, would make life a bit easier. My 16ga M12 is a 1914 birthday, oldest gun I shoot in vintage events. Looking forward to the pictures. If you have info...

John Browning designed both the Remington M11 and the Remington M24 which became the 241 in the 30s redesign. Both guns predate the existence of Browning arms, and actually are the originals. FN...
