Hello All! Have a question for the Win '94 crowd, with turn of the century guns. My Dad has an old, 1905mfg Model 94 in 32-40, with the heavy Octagonal bbl, damn thing took countless deer over the...

With the high prices even the off brand levers are bringing, try and get yourself a Pre Safety/REAL Marlin, or Winchester, you won't regret it. I put a Holosun 403b Red Dot on my old '81 Marlin...
Having HAD a S&W 25/45Colt, and currently a Redhawk 44mag, definitely stick with the 44mag, 45Colt isn't magnum force, factory, or handloads. I recently acquired a vintage Redhawk 44mag/7.5"bbl,...
Bullet profile dictates length, NOT quoted OAL! Load that bullet to groove closest to bullet nose, put 4.0/4.5grs Bullseye under it. You can thank me later.
What everyone forgets to tell you guys experimenting, or starting out, is bullet profile is WAY more important than manual quoted OAL! Bullets vary, nobody knows that better than you guys casting. ...

Brand aside, 3x9 is my "Gold Standard" for scopes. I have a couple 4x12x40's, but the physical size of them hampers rifle handling/carrying. Can still get decent sized/smaller scopes in 3x9, mag...
Not true at all! I ONLY load 200gr SWC cast bullets, from various bullet mfgs, and shoot them through ALL my Factory 1911's, with NO feed issues at all, 100% reliability in not only my guns, but...
Pristine, 1984mfg, Ruger Redhawk 44mag/7.5"bbl stainless, box/papers, possibly unfired. A hearty THANKS to Bill Ruger!
"2400 for magnums." I could swear I read this verse in the King James Bible.😉

I always recommend older mfgd rifles, as today's quality is subpar at best. That being said, you left out the Marlin Model 60, America's FIRST "Favorite 22"!

A LOT to absorb guys, but MANY Thanks!

Hey All. I've been reloading for 15+yrs now, strictly for handgun, as that's all I really shoot these days. I only load for 45acp/9mm, occasionally 38spl. I recently ordered some cast bullets for...
The 243win doesn't need accolades, those who own one, know the virtues of the venerable 243win!
Heaviest charge of 2400 I ever loaded for 357mag/158gr bullet, was 13.0grs. Plenty warm with lead bullets.

The Classics will live FOREVER! The amount of game taken with these new, "gimmick" calibers, won't even come close to the amount taken with the PROVEN classics, 270win, '06, 243win, 308win, 30-30,...
**** IT, why can’t the mfgs think of stuff this practical & clever! I reload, this cartridge is a no brainer!
My Dad’s ‘68 Colt Python/6”bbl, I was 7yrs old! He held it around me, full house mag load, AWESOME! Hence my love for handguns for the past 50yrs, Thanks Dad!
