  1. Which barrel will be loaded?

    New Rifle!

    Shoot the truck with your new rifle....problem solved.
  3. My balance beam scale never shuts off or needs batteries.
  4. You want to hone your survival skills? Make and can a garden. Hunt; kill, process, and eat the food you produce. Go to a gun show with $500 and turn it into $1000 before you leave. When your car breaks down, fix it yourself. Produce something with your own hands and sell it for a profit. These are survival skills; not camping at a park.
  5. Many, MANY ,more guns have been damaged from cleaning than from shooting. Shoot it. When accuracy starts to wane, clean it. Rinse, and repeat.
  6. Sweet 19!!! Mine is 4", and a whole lot rougher than yours.
  7. ...and #4, bullet sizing. Some 44's will lead like crazy with .429 bullets, and shoot .430 bullets with no problems. Some like the .429s.
  8. My 13 year old wasn't able to go Saturday morning because of baseball tryouts. He passed on a couple of small bucks Saturday evening, and a doe Sunday morning. A little later Sunday morning, he decided he couldn't pass up another deer and dropped this 4 pointer with one shot from his 257 Roberts. He even loaded his own ammunition for the hunt. My 8 year old decided to hang out with mom and wait until next year to give it a try.
  9. Both...they are well used, high quality pocket knives. I'd be happy to own either one or both of them. Depending on when it was made, the Case could fetch several dollars.
  10. "...all my hexes live in Texas..":whistle: Sorry, I don't know where that came from.
  11. I haven't yet found a bad reloading manual. Lee, Speer, Sierra, Nosler, etc. all make comprensive reloading manuals. If you intend to load cast bullets, Lyman pretty much wrote the bible on that. Your 721 and 722 Remingtons are classic rifles in classic chamberings. Cool guns!! You will realize a lot of money savings reloading those. You can load cast bullets in your 44 for somewhere around $.20 per round with cast bullets; even less if you get into casting as well.
  12. I'll be hunting with a CVA Wolf scoped with a Leupold M8 4x. I shoot 295 grain Powerbelt bullets on top of two 50 grain Triple 7 pellets, ignited by a 209 Winchester shotgun primer. If my oldest son decides to tag along, I'll hand that to him and carry my left handed Thompson Center Renegade with factoy iron sights, loaded with a big ole Great Plains hollow point, on top of 90 grains of Pyrodex, and ignited by a standard percussion cap.
  13. I believe you also have to purchase a basic hunting/fishing license along with your big game gun and big game muzzlzloader tags. Furthermore, if you wish to shoot a deer on a wildlife management area, or else shoot a doe with a rifle in a non quota hunt, you need a type 94 permit. It's darn near as confusing as filing your income taxes.
  14. Assuming you've saved your brass, you can get blemished bullets for less than $20 per 100, let's say $5 per hundred for the primers, and about $22 for a pound of powder. You'll have some powder left over, but this would come to about $.47 per round. That's less than $10 per box. The cool thing about reloading is that you'd spend the same to reload 100 rounds of the 300 Holland and Holland or the 300 Savage!!! That's where you'll really save. 44 Magnum ammo will be cheaper, as you can choose cast bullets which are less expensive, and a pound of powder will last a loooooong time. Theoretically, you can save money reloading, but I don't know anyone who ever has. We all just shoot a lot more. The great thing about reloading is that your imagination is the limit on what you can shoot in your gun. You can tailor a load for optimum performance, tighter groups, etc. I've even loaded crushed walnut hulls in a 38 special for shooting bore bees. You can't buy those in the store. What have you got that's chambered for 300 Savage? A 99 perhaps?
  15. Great snag! I like it.
  16. LOL! My wife has a 2 year supply of toilet paper in the bathroom closet.
  17. But they are cheap??!!! Sort of like Wal Mart. You get what you pay for.
  18. I can vouch for ATI's customer service. I had a part break on my GSG 1911-22, so I emailed them looking to buy a replacement. I received a quick response stating that if they could get my address and the serial number on the gun, they's send the part free of charge.
  19. Maybe you two should hook up and discuss the end of the world as we know it.
  20. There's definitely more to it that sticking in a new cylinder. The timing and cylinder gap may or may not be correct. The OP may have the required knowledge to check and correct these, but most of us simply don't.
  21. I'd get a second opinion from Michael Vick before trying this.
  22. I've heard all this bad stuff said about Russian ammo, but I've found that it shoots great in any gun I've fired it in. Bad rumors travel very fast. Most of the people I've heard this stuff from have never actually fired any. I've fired steel cased commercial Russian ammo in 7.62x39, 7.62x54R, 223, and 45 ACP with satisfactoy results.
  23. You are talking about spending a bunch of money to devalue a nice revolver. If you're o.k. with that, go for it.
  24. google smith and wesson pinto. A forum search here wil probably turn one up as well. Hard to tell from the flash, but this F.I.E. Titan has a blue frame and barrel with a nickel cylinder and ejector housing.
