Well, that stinks about the man. I sure would like to see the brand back on the market. Quality side hammers again!

Wow, thumb cocker! What a scare. Sounds like both you & the wife are calm in an emergency situation. Thanks for sharing.

Just a thought; with that twist rate, I'd think the lighter bullet would do better. Those Sierra 200gr'er's would be my choice for the next testing at the range. Good luck.

I have several. Bench mounted has plenty of room on both sides. I also took a 4" cast pipe and welded it to a car wheel, filled the base with concrete and welded a flat on the center top to...

I've bobbed several H&R hammers. Mostly, nobody notices. Also, I've drilled in from the side of the hammer and screwed in a hammer spur. The friction mounted ones loosen up once in awhile and...

It's the thru-bolt feature that makes this one a tricky one to address. If the stock never has to come off, then filling it with acru-glas, etc.is fine. Glue it in place and it will work great. If...

! Don't glue it ! Pull the recoil pad off, and while you are at it, you might as well tighten the through bolt to the back of the receiver and insert a felt pad. Doesn't have to be very thicket...

You, sir, are a skilled artisan. Very nicely done.

Have done the .284 conversion and it's pretty good. Rim is close, but functions OK.

I size my PC's in a 450 Lyman. Lube is there and it seems to assist pushing through the sizer. As for shooting, I've done both, with & without, and haven't seen much difference. My barrel is...

A friend's .450 Marlin split with factory ammo. Never figured why. It wasn't very old ammo.

Tend to agree with all the above. Instead of chemicals to treat the pond, have you ever thought of tossing a bail of barley straw in the pond? I bet that alone will solve your algae issue. (I...

Ammohead is great to deal with. He made me a custom die to size for my ML'ing. When I need it, I'll be going back to him.

My primary hunting spot offers only 0 - 75 yards for possible shots. Hence, I opt for 50 yards. Other locations demand further considerations. Now with accurately adjustable scopes, I zero at...
Sad to say, but I wouldn't give Ca. a dime in tourist trade. Go to some place in America instead.

I just use the data published in the Lee manual. Weight & cartridge.

As above, slug the barrel and shoot cast +.002. A clean barrel goes w/o saying. Have yo tried the Lee 310? good luck
Forum: Hunting with CB's
Not that particular bullet, but I shoot one of a similar weight & composition and it knocks 'em down. You place a good shot and your freezer will be full.

Have made many oak & hickory ram rods. Also, solid brass ram rods. Just order from MSA industrial supply. Turn in a lathe or use right out of the box.
My experience has been with 12 ga. round balls. My thoughts are to get the wad / ball combo pretty tight to the bore, even to the point that the wad gets a little compressed on the sides where the...
