That sounds like a great project. Post results and pics if possible.
And tell us about that 1899 Lee as well.

This one shoots flatter if you hold it upside down…….[emoji16]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20240530/8a8a5a3440930be88b2fb22472d8864a.jpg

Thermal scopes are very nice, but in your case a predator call and a spotlight will serve well until they get smart. Use lightweight varmint bullets in a .223 or 22-250 to drop them on the spot.

It’s cheaper than going out to a restaurant; try one and let us know!
The Ermox rotary action double shotgun is very interesting as well.

I was.
This was too good of a deal and I like .410s, though.[emoji848][emoji16]

That’s a great tradition!

It has a good pattern with 2.5” #8s on a red ant mound at 20 yards….
Thanks to all!

I wonder why anyone would want a scope on a .410 in the first place.
But I was born in rifle country so there’s that.

I recently got a Topper .410 barrel for a good price because it was drilled and tapped crooked. A lot.
As a matter of fact, Seven 6-48 holes and a single 8-40 hole.
Three of them had white silicone...

Used up the last of my Re22 to load some 140 gr JSP for my 7x57 Mauser. I ended up with 25 rounds and a small amount of powder which I lit and watched it burn.
Yep, Re22 is slow burning…….

I use a section of shotgun cleaning rod with a 12 ga bronze or steel brush wrapped in course steel wool. Chuck the cleaning rod in a cordless drill and have at it. On your bolt action shotgun, you...

I have a few of these and they all require the brass to be decapped -but not sized -to work.

The .45 auto is my favorite pistol cartridge period.
Easy to load with hundreds of recipes for jacketed or cast bullets.

Check the chamber for rust. Clean it out well.
Not uncommon on old barn guns.

It seems like other than 30-30 and 45-70, brass for lever action cartridges is kind of rare nowadays. All the WCF, .32 Special, .35 Rem, the list goes on.

From 500 to 3300 fps and everything in between.
Today I plinked with .218 Bee cast at 1600 fps and .218 Bee jacketed at 2700 fps.

In the past I’ve used .222, .223, and 22-250 and bigger calibers - and placement is important to prevent meat damage with high velocity jacketed bullets.
This one with the .218 was with a cast flat...

That is that “snake cutting” thing that I was telling you about….[emoji106]

I’ve switched to varmint loads for the summer.
13 grs 4227 with the 40 gr Hornady Zmax(I’ll miss them) and CCI 400 primers.
This is at 100 yards on 1/4”...

Speaking of muzzleloader for turkey, I can tell you for certain that a .490” rb will deliver a dinner!
And yes, I’d shoot an unalarmed deer within 100 yards with the Bee using high velocity jacketed...

I overbaked some 277-135 to where they were bent once. Now I’m using an old convection oven with a timer.

Do you shoot them straight up in the air- and does roasted flaxseed smell good?
The reason I ask, I recall roasted Maltomeal smelling ok when I blew out some 30-30 to 38-55…..

Good news is great!

Mom fed us Carp Patties in lieu of Salmon patties and none of us ever complained. She canned it in mason jars when we’d get a bunch of Carp and Buffalo.
