Not a '94 expert by any means, but, would a chamber cast be in order?

mikld

Thanks guys, great info on '94 work...

Wow, I don't know if I could take that! I think the Texan in me would have smacked the trainer in the shins the first time he tripped me and proceed to do the Texas two-step on his face...

Gasoline has been used for auto fuel for over 100 years, and gas mileage has been a hot subject for over 50 years. I think all the "easy" or "shade tree mechanic" concoctions/gadgets have been tried and very few, if any have worked to any degree. Just about every chemical has bee...

Bullet weight X Muzzle velocity squared / 450411
I've also seen: 1/2 muzzle velocity squared = muzzle energy.

I haven't used these in mebbe 30 years, 'cause I just don't have any use for that info.

Your location says Southern CA. How did you manage to shoot a 50 BMG in CA?

mikld

Thanks Steve. I already slugged the bore and it's about .432". I've been using Ranchdog's 265 gr RNFP as cast and they seem to work. Just wanna play with a new load...

I'll try this again. Offhand, does anyone know the rifling twist for a Rossi Puma .44 mag.? LSI import, purchased in '07. I know how, just lazy and it's still raining here :lol: I read reciently about heavy bullets not stabilizing in slow twist .44 mag bbls. and I've got some 325 gr lead I want to l...

OK Danny, tell us about the hunt. Rifle (lever I'm sure), caliber used (good ole 30-30?), how long was the shot?

mikld

I'll continue prayers. God is good...

Be careful, Volvo parts are expensive. The days of the backyard mechanic are gone, today you need scanners, meters, and manuals to just diagnose a car. Another test, if you have a voltmeter, is remove the neg. batt. cable, place the voltmeter leads (set on amperage) on the terminal and the battery p...

Yep, prefab. My question is how long did it tale to make the prefab sections? IMO this building was "assembled" and not "built"...

I have a "standard" 4 hole Lee Turret Press. I use it single stage and hand index, as I reload in batches ( size & deprime a bunch, later prime, then flare charge and seat). I have been loading 45 ACP this week and have been able to hold .001" to .002" on the OAL with no prob...

Old Savage does it again! How do you do it? Beautious wemmens surround this guy!...

Thank for writing that Oly. I feel much the same; many, many Japanese men are total racist and sexist. Also didn't the Chinese gov't. say a very few years ago that they would destroy the US? In China I believe Christians are still prosecuted (jailed, tortured, murdered) and it's a really stiff sente...

I too, have just about had it with pro sports. It's getting to be a bunch of millionairs running around with all the "reality show" B.S. behind the lines (or in front too). Last night they were talking about Ben R. (can't spell his last name) and all his woes with the police, etc., and the...

If you cast, Seaco has a mold for a 200 gr, .430" wadcutter.

scroll way down to .44 cal. I'm sure others offer Seaco molds besides Midway...

I don't understand your need to ditch the 357mag. Is it a case of needing money or is it just a desire to par down and concentrate on fewer calibers? If selling off is a financial necessity, then your idea is sound if you truly don't want a 357mag. If it's just to avoid the hassle of another calibe...

Would your question refer to the settleing of the west or the bad guys vs the good guys gunfighter era? Although I think the line between good guys and bad guys was kinda blurry...

My Rossi doesn't have any screw holes on top of the bbl (or anywhere

). Perhaps mine is an older one mfg. before scout scope mount holes drilled & tapped?

mikld

Not being a smart aleck, but you need a reloading manual. If you haven't done any reloading I'd suggest you read The ABCs of Reloading. This will give you a good in depth explaination of reloading for rifles, pistols, shotguns and give a lot of good info on casting, powder bullets and shot, then fol...

Yep, they'll do that. My "she" kept me away from guns for nearly 10 years (dabbled during rainy season some and occational trip to the range with my stainless steel guns). Faith (my 30' sailboat) provided me with a lot of fun times and I was able to see more of God's creations. Had to let ...

Is Blain the only one to get this? October 22 (10-22)?

Well, my Puma '92 functions very good with the proper ammo (flat nose rather than SWC). The only "work" I did was install a Williams sight (after first experimenting with a "Bullseye" sight) and to do that I had to disassemble the gun. Because I had two major surgerys in the foll...

Nuttin' OCD about that. I too have never sold a tool, don't know why but I still have a dwell tach. and point files! I think I still got a Craftsman ball pein hammer I bought in about '72. My reloading equipment/supplies is steadily growing, but still in "control" (I've got some Herters di...

I have a method that works for me. I have never gifted my wife with any appliance or anything that is connected in any way with housework, never. To the best of my ability, I will purchase diamonds for Christmas, and other jewlery and "girl stuff" for birthdays, Valentine's day etc. Flower...

mikld

I would suggest you start with The ABCs of Reloading. This book covers all the steps in reloading for handgun, rifle, and shotgun in depth (also powder, primers, bullets and shot). Read it and you will get answers to most of your reloading questions and be able to determine what equipment suits your...

In '91 or '92 I bought a Remington Viper, .22 rifle. I figgered a Remington rifle should shoot Remington ammo, right? Nope. I bought a bunch of Viper, Yellow Jacket, and Thunderbolt and I still have a lot of them left. In my rifle I got failures to feed at about 1 or 2 per magazine with Thunderbolts...

Jes wondering; how much would it cost to have the bear stuffed? Or a rug made from the skin?

I had a similar prob. when I lived in an appartment. I was once told that it was legal for loud music until 12:00 midnight. Well I also discovered noise regulations say 6:00 am is the "starting" point; nothing before. So, I would occationally wake up at 5:30 am and open some windows and pl...

Well, my doc isn...

About 3 months ago I was piddling around in my cave with my Puma .44 Mag. I took it apart, drilled and tapped for a receiver mount sight, and mounted the base, all ready to reassemble. Well, ran into a minor problem and 3 months and two major surgerys later I went out to my cave and just looked at t...

Although not as good as Mr. Miller's method, I have color coded plastic cartridge boxes. I have 5 .44 Magnum guns and I have "special" loads for two of them; light loads (.44 Special equivalent) for an old S&W 629, and .433" cast loads for my Puma. I also have a lable maker that I...

Unfortunitely the message is true; alcoholism is rampant in the Native American Communitys.

I worked with a guy of Native American heritage and through discussions and a little bit of research he says the white man has NEVER kept a treaty made with the N.A. nations. I believe it...

Yep, young'ins these days. I used to keep a "church key" in my tool box at work to show the under 30 (mebbe 40?) crowd how us "old drunks" opened our beer.

Yes, I remember that episode. Seems some of the perps's ammo was contaminated by some kind of oil and when he fired the first round, a squib, the bullet lodged in the bbl.
