check with a warden at TWRA before you shoot any snakes in TN

I lost that battle with a Carcano 6.5 Ital that I bought mail order for $19.99 in 1964. It's been down hill since.

Five grains of Winchester 231/HP-38/Ramshot Zip under a 200 gr. .45 SWC makes a mighty accurate and soft recoil target load. It meters better than RD/Unique and shoots a lot cleaner. I could see Hodgen discontinuing all winchester powders(they have owned Winchester powders for a long time) and just going with their own brands.

After having shot many thousands of cast bullets through Glocks, I have concluded that this matter is an "internet issue".  Much talked about but seldom seen.

  Good folks to deal with.  But they only accept transfers from FFLs.

They are making and shipping .44 Mags.  No .357s since Remington took over.  "this year" they told me at the NRA convention.   Not holding my breath.

Take your calipers and measure the case length.  Should be 5.7 cm.

Just  a headsup:   Ramshot ZIp is the same powder.   My dealer gets dozens of calls per day about 231 or HP 38.  Nada, but he has ZIP sitting on the shelf gathering dust.

I quit playing stupid a couple of years ago.  I oiled up all my .22rfs and put them into deep storage.   I can cast a bullet and reload my own .38s, 9mm or 30-30 cheaper than I can buy a .22rf cartridge.   Cast and reload.  Let somebody else be the victim of scalpers.   At this point, I don't think my grandkids would go back to shooting 22rf at any price.  The bragging rights for a 12 or 13 year old are lots greater for 9mm or 38 than .22

Call Butch at A-H Reloading.  he has a used on sitting on his counter but it had a BUNCH of extra shell plates and dies   Google for A-H in nashville.

I have been loading for over 50 years.  The first 30 were the first year 30 times over.   Now I am up to 5 for 1.

There have been 23 responses so far.   This illustrates that msnbc does not make up their own polls, don't read what others post for polls, and don't care because that generates 'clicks' which translates into ad revenue.   Go back to the site and make up your own poll.
