My advice is find a nicely used pre war model 64 standard. Add an aperture (lyman 66) and a sourdough front sight.(eBay).
Probably the finest lever action 30/30 ever made. They are slim add...

I’m over a thousand rounds with mine. Runs well. I replaced the idiotic handguard with a short one that exposes the gas block mostly. Epoxied it in place since the screws wouldn’t hold it with a...
Most of my hog killing in the southeast has been with 170 Remington bullets. A few with Barnes 150 tsx or whatever they called them. I don’t think used 150s for no real reason. There are some very...
I’ve used 170 partitions, 170 Hornady and 170 Speer on game up to cow elk. Have a few 190 Barnes left, they might go further in meat and bone.
Like maker says, I’ve shot deer and antelope with the...
I’m not a fan of a scope in my face. I’m 6’5” and have had posterior cervical fusion from C2 through T2. A conventional mounted scope is always too close. The scout scope has worked perfectly for me...
Finally the snow is melting enough to go hiking out north fork. I carried the Dan Wesson specialist 10mm despite the dire warnings from this bunch. 200 grain xtp and 200 grain cast flat nose. Eight...
Heavily compressed loads can bulge your case neck. 30/30 brass is thin and doesn’t takes a lot of abuse. Cases trimmed to 2.028? I’ve used that Barnes bullet, but none are loaded and I have a small...
Mine runs perfectly with or without a suppressor. My last three shots today at one hundred yards went into a half inch group. 1.5x5 Leupold, resting over my pack off a standing bench I made.
Hope...
Bought a Kimber 5” lightweight 9mm last year. Nice pistol, runs perfectly with Wilson magazines. A super barrel is in its future I think. Make a nice carry pistol and beat the snot out of a nine.
My stock colt in super runs perfectly. I load starline plus p brass, accurate number 7 powder and cast the Elco bullet. 1235 fps with all three versions of that bullet. My magazines are metal form...
Wanted to test the Dan Wesson with new front sight and an RIA with new sear spring. Went east since it’s really quiet out there. Good thing I took two 10mm 1911s cause we saw blame and wish dragging...
Got a new front sight for the Dan Wesson today. It’s installed so we went for a walk out east. Glad we survived with such a terrible pistol. Didn’t see any wolves or grizzlies so I didn’t have to...
Paul 105 ran his grips into a belt sander before I tried it. Thank you Paul for the help and impetus to do so.
These x frame grips only last about 3 thousand rounds before they wear through on the...
Mine runs perfectly with Wilson magazines. Accurate and a great trigger. Going to be my field pistol after I get a taller front sight and install it. Last summer, it took most of a magazine to kill a...
The hogue grips for the Smith 500 for perfectly on the model 69. And if you look at them, there is quite a bit of extra material on them. I belt sand off the finger grooves and lots of the base....
Malamute is correct! Add some appropriate slower burning powder like unique or power pistol. I think your extreme spreads are dangerous and I also would not shoot loads that anemic. Good chance...
Trail boss can bridge in some powder measures. I have an old Redding that’s dedicated to trail boss loads. I visually check every charge. Lee dippers work pretty dang well and don’t bridge.
I...
I use trail boss and a round ball or a lightweight case bullet. All my stuff is packed presently so I won’t guess at the powder charge or mold numbers.
Out to twenty yards it is grouse head...
That dang Paul 105 got his first model 69. Ran into one of his threads about it. Was lucky to find one and drag it home. Started shooting it with the x frame grips. Removed a bunch of excess on...
My five inch 40 m and p runs a 200 cast at a bit over a thousand. I have several five gallon buckets of brass. The gun has never malfunctioned after five thousand rounds. Why do I need a centimeter?...
My five inch 40’s safety was a bit mushy. Took it apart. added some depth to the safety notch. Much better. It’s had over six thousand rounds of 200 grain and nothing has broken or worn out yet. It’s...
The Viking fire princess has had several small pistols. Not much interest in shooting them UNTIL she shot a p365. Part way through the first magazine she turns and asks “ does this come with a...
Harrison parts are fantastic.
Glad that Mackey made it, probably needs therapy from carrying that old thing.
It’s 18”. Reloader 17 is what I use for the heavy bullet loads
Just a beautiful day!!! 60 or so, light wind. Good day to shoot at sagebrush a ways out there. But I’m having difficulty posting pics hmmmmm
