"They made a few thousand 336s in .357 magnum"
Never seen or heard of a 336 chambered in the 357 Mag (I do have a signed copy of Brophy's book). Only pistol round that I know of was the attempt to...

I am afraid that there is a misunderstanding about my post on making a 358/356 conversion on a Marlin 336.
No way I would propose to use a factory 356 rifle for rechambering. I was referring to...

Ithaca 49 I had to share with my younger brother. His 2nd daughter has it now. In 1968 I got a new Winchester 150 carbine for Christmas, which I still have. Shot the devil out of it. With a scope...

A 35 Rem rechambered to a low power 358 Win is really just a 356 Win without the rim. I would have used the 356 Win reamer and just made brass from 444 Marlin to avoid ever loading a full load 358...

As long as they will chamber with no issues, you can't go wrong with cast bullets sized @ 0.310-0.311" in most any 30 WCF gun. And, with a single shot you may be able to just neck size the brass for...

A few years ago I bought a 39a Mountie carbine (straight stock, rounded lever, 20" barrel) and then after a while mounted a Williams side mount receiver sight w/ the target adjustable knobs. Front...

Hang on to that William's Target peep sight-----currently they don't make them, and based on what I see happening I doubt they will ever again.
I have one on an H&R 38-55 target rifle plus a spare. ...

I have one of the 22 Mag Ultra guns and a 17HRM barrel I bought on e-bay did fit along with a 17 Mach 2 barrel also. Be aware that H&R's are not like Contenders and may require a little fitting to...

It is my understanding that the 303 Savage can easily be loaded with 150 to 170 grain bullets, putting it squarely in the same class as the 30-30. But as designed, the 303 with its long neck was...

All Model 17s have easily removable barrels; I was just trying to make everyone aware that the barrels are generally not swappable between different receivers without some gunsmithing work.
Forum: Shot Guns
Be aware that the barrels on Model 17's are not directly interchangeable; they have to be fitted to the gun. The Model 17's "son", the Ithaca Model 37 also did not allow its barrels to be...

If you are going to use cast lead bullets, be aware that the 38-55 varies all over the place as to actual bore diameter. The bullet must fit the barrel or else you will never achieve any suitable...

Missed the case length requirement; in NH for the limited areas (higher population density) we only can use shotgun w/ slugs or 00 buck or lever action carbines only in 357, 44 Mag or 45 Colt or hand...

Good point on why not use the 375 Winchester. Hornady could even come up with a gummy bullet for the round too.

Cases look to be a good source for 375 SuperMag cases, just trim 0.19" off and resize in the 375 SuperMag dies. Once they get out there and in use, range pickups should appear. Have used 38/55 and...
Just to add to the conversation, I ended up buying new a 45ACP in their black SS finish, a 44 w/ grip laser, a 6 shot 38 and a 6 shot 32 all short barrels in the last few of years. The 45 is...
I have 4 10mms; a Ruger BH convertible Buckeye, a 610 w/ 4" barrel, a Gen 2 Glock 29 and a Gen 1 Glock 20. Have used both the AA9 and Bluedot powders with great success and also Hodgdon's 800-X...
Most of the H&R revolvers with the frame channel rear sight (milled groove in the top strap of the frame) will have the same interference with the sight picture when the hammer is down. Go on...

The Remington cases are not the same as the Winchester cases, but like Brassmagnet says you should be able to just neck size. The major die makers carry the Remington dies but they generally are...
I know this is a pistol thread but in my 16" Marlin 1894 45 Colt, at low pressure the cases are very sooty and black. Cases also are slightly bulged which is because as I understand it the chambers...
I bought a SAR9BL when my local gun shop had them on sale. Hard case, 2 mags and 2 additional back/side strap fillers. Was told that this is the gun that the Turk's use for their own military (I...
My guess the 130 is a typo; maybe should be 180 grain bullet. A more or less standard weight in the 10mm.
