There was one that had a bronze barrel liner and was really neat looking. Ive actually handles two of them. It wouldn't last a long time as the liner eventually wore out.

When you arent having to answer to a wife it makes things easier. I spend most of my money on guns, boats, hot rods and frozen dinners, the rest I just waste. I have a recoil pad that goes over my...

After installing a great Burris scope I had I can now shoot the rifle a lot better. I don't see as well as I once did. Anyway, IMR-4198 seems to be a pretty good choice and I got several groups that...

I have a good assortment of molds for the .45 caliber but started on jacketed loads in this rifle since it can handle the hotter loads. I have the Lyman 457193 which drops a 420 grain (or there...

I've been reloading my own ammo since I was 12. That's been a while ago. Anyway, I have shot my trapdoor for years with black powder but recently got a Ruger #1, also in 45-70. So now I can pump up...

Don't take it as gospel but I would think that the BAR would be more tolerant to a wider variety of powders since it has a completely different gas system. I also really doubt you have any problems...

I bought a Finn M-28 like that once. It actually had a bullet stuck in the throat. I got it real cheap because of the stuck bullet. Was able to knock it out with a cleaning rod and oh did the bore...

While smokeless powder has proven that it isn't just a passing fad, I do enjoy hunting with a muzzleloader. One that has a hammer on the outside, preferably on the right side of the rifle. It also...

It's amazing to me how many things have been declared obselete that still work just fine. Certain cartridges, low power scopes, and to dare be seen hunting with one of those old fashioned lever...

Good shooting! Cant ask for better bullet performance. I've been told by several people that if a deer has a really strange looking rack (if it is old enough to have one at all) that it generally...

I bought a brand new 336W a few weeks ago and all I can say is the quality seemed fine till I shot it. It feeds and extracts perfect but the best groups I got at 100 yards was in the 5 inch range. I...

Nope. The 6.8 empty I have is 1.680 inch. A real live .32 Remington is 2.055 after being fired twice. A .35 case is 1.900 inch and the one I checked is .456 at the rim. A .32 is .421. I have some but...

I almost decided to take my other model 14 which is a .32 Remington caliber. However, with leaves being quite deep and if I had got a shot at something, pumped the action and lost the precious brass...

No deer. Actually there could have been as I fell asleep for a while. Friend shot a spike buck that was about 100 pounds. Range to target...45 steps. Swamps offer such long shots. But it was a nice...

I'm off to meet a friend at daylight tomorrow morning (Dec. 2) to make an all day deer or maybe hog hunt. The rifle of choice will be a Remington Model 141 in .35 Remington. According to the date...

I have a Model 14 made in 1914 in .32 Remington. I got a couple of boxes of ammo with the rifle and make some cases from 30-30 by turning the rim off with my lathe. Buffalo Arms has .30 Rem brass...

Not really about shooting one but I have always been a bit curious about how a Winchester was shipped from the factory back in the 1870"s. In a conversation with a good friend who is an avid...

I have a Type I and have never slugged the bore but it shoots jacketed bullets quite well. With cast bullets it will lead the barrel unless gas checks are used regardless of powder charge. I have the...
