Kearney is 5th largest city in Nebraska (4th if you don't count Bellevue which is just a sub of Omaha Metro) In Nebraska standards, its a big city. School is Class A, same as Omaha and Lincoln Schools. Most towns in Nebraska just like what you described, only city that doesn't fit is Omaha. We had p...

Interesting, not so much improved with the 32.
I have also put my thoughts on opening up the 307 case to fit a .321 bullet a 32-307
or a 32-07 high power special.

Marlin32

uh, Kearney is not a small town.

Marlin32

Please keep forum posted on any loads you develop on the 307AI. I have wanted to do it or the 356 for some time. (especially with Marlins for all the pressure reasons Iorg stated) Have never experimented, not sure if cost benefit ratio is there, at least not enough to put me over the edge to try it....

Similar to Pheasant Tower hunts I have been on here.(they call them european hunts.

Might do the same there, hunters in circle, pigeons chucked out of a tower in the center.
Makes for an interesting shot as pheasants can really get moving. Pigeons would be even faster.

Would like to give that a try.

I was in the Lincoln, NE Scheels store today, two Browning BL 22's around 500 or so bucks.
In case anyone despartely searching for a BL 22.

Anyone else get snow today? What the Heck?? Had to bring in the May Day baskets so they wouldn't fill with snow, cherries in bloom so no cherries this year, will hard freeze tonight and tomorrow. I have hunted turkeys in the snow before, but this is ridiculous. Bright side, my 8x68s 200gr A-frames w...

Not a very good article either, mailed that one in for paycheck.

Local gun shop has an 8ga Parker. Have handled. Now, it is a cannon. Good grief.
An old feller in Michigan used it to shoot deer with, he had the shakes really bad and this gun was only one heavy enough that he could hold steady.

Marlin32

10ga works great on waterfowl. People have misconceptin that the 10ga just a big long range cannon. Nothing could be further from the truth, I shoot essentially 12ga loads ( and not big 12ga payloads) out of mine at ducks, the larger bore I think, puts more bb's on target. I would like a 10ga that i...

Marlin32

I have an old Parker Trojan in 16ga, 2 1/2" chambers. Old, not pretty, the pheasants and priairie chickens sure don't care for it, but I love it.

I would love to have a real nice Parker in 16ga.

Would like a good shooter in 10ga, for ducks and geese too.

Marlin32

180gr Federal will do on deer. Have shot many with it, great performance, limited distance is obvious, but you know that if using the 357

I use my 32 special now, or the 338 Marlin, but I would not be afraid to try the buffalo bore 180's

My last email from them was in Mid to late October. The address in the signature was Las Vegas. Haven't tried them for awhile, but hope he is still in business somewhere, after I get through with Elk season this fall, I may have a project or two to discuss further with him.

Marlin32

I just aquired a 8x68s, hoping your username is an indication you have vast knowledge and data on the 8x68s. Just bought some Swift A-frames in both 200gr and 220gr.

The two pistol smiths I talked to said "no" to the conversions. Not saying can't still be done, but these were two who were doing them and they stopped. Once again, Ruger misses the mark. Putting that out in 22 mag I think would be big, must be a manufactoring cost thing? They missed the m...

Between Lincoln and Omaha.

Marlin32

Bowen is one of the pistol smiths I asked.
I was interested in Ruger's Shot show or some dealer exclusive, a short barrled bearcat, love it, if only it were in 22mag

Marlin32

I asked a couple different "pistol smiths" who used to do that conversion and both said they would not do it. I forget all the reasons why, but essentially I think the gun can't quite handle it, AND it is a bit tricky to do.

Marlin32

What you up here for? If I am not escorting some youth on a turkey hunt, I will drive up there. Only about 20-30 minutes from my house. Drive by it twice a day.

I'm a bit of a shotgun snob myself, Given parameters, I would go with a Browning Silver or new A-5 or Maxus. I am sure the Berettas are ok (safety is in the wrong spot) Benelli's I do not like, ugly, and I have handled them time and time again, and I just don't like them. I have tried to, but just c...

Can't wait for Grandson's to get older!! Awesome story.
Never met Mike, just read some of the posts. Sounded like a class guy.

I wish they would make it in .33 for the 338 Marlin, then we would have something!!!

Marlin32

Ha! Have the same raven, hated carrying it due to awful safety!! Went to Beretta Tomcat .32ACP. flip up barrel, is nice for the wife especially. I do not like the trigger, and it sure bites my hand, but is very easy to carry and still do when clothes are limiting factor. I carry an old Colt Pocket P...

Except he left out the 338 Marlin Express. Can't figure that out.

Awesome. Would like to find some short loads myself.

My youngest daughter just put my second grandson on the ground today! 8 pounds 13 oz, and 21" long, had been thinking about a Marlin 39A or 9422, but at that start, he might jump right into the 45/70 Yes, he is going to be shooting levers and double shotguns (A5's and Double Autos also acceptab...

Marlin32

That is impressive. I wish he would do the same for my 32 special. Don't have a Partition bullet for it though, but still would appreciate the extra velocity sometimes. Would save a lot of trouble trying to modify it. He is tough guy to contact, belive me, I have tried!!! But will have to keep tryin...

I bought a couple for a colt pocket positive, grips are original now, and in good shape, but bought a couple of "back up" sets just in case

They will have what you need, they will probably require some fitting.

I have both versions of the American Arms double barrels, the O/u and the sxs. Both 26" barrels, choke tubes, great turkey guns, and the O/U I really like for waterfowl also. Make good crow and coyote guns too!!! Have an older H&R single shot, really don't recommend today's loads in them, t...

Try searching on the Marlin Forum for info. I know it has been discussed on the site before. I didn't take up much interest in those threads at the time.

Never shot or ate a grey squirrel, but plenty of fox squirrel. One of my all time favorite foods. Cut into pieces, dredge in seasoned flour and fry in a skillet. Hard to beat. The season opens here in Aug, but way too hot, plus I don't like to eat them until they are on full corn and nut rations!! S...

Anyone use the "safari rifle sling" Curious, looks awkward, maybe even unsafe with muzzle pointed forward.

Marlin32

There are definitely two "strains" one is more wire haired pointer, germanish, the other supposedly sticking to the "pure" genetics. Do your research, you will find what I am trying to say quickly.

Depending on what you are doing with it, there are better breeds out there.

Marlin32

Didn't think about that. If I can get things turned around fast enough, might give them a try. Usually they come in so darn fast and close, I shoot them with the shotgun. Bt hunting crows at the same time so usually just carrying the shotgun (10ga double barrel)

Marlin32

Just picked up some 200gr 338 Flat point Kodiak bullets from this forum.
They are going to be fed into my 338 Marlin Express.
Quick load gets me to 2400fps with several different powders.
I am a bit excited, but no game to shoot them at!!!

Marlin32

Banning them because even a sane man will likely shoot himself if he had to be trapped in a Chuck E Cheese.

You are missing the whole point...if there are no guns, then the sign and message would be unnecessary.

Hope everyone reads the sarcasm into the above statement.

3-barreled shotguns are far from new. I even looked into one last year, the $45,000 starting price quickly numbed any need of one in the short term.

This one I am betting is a bit cheaper, in price and quality.

Still, I wouldn't mind having one in the duck marsh. Certainly be a conversation starter.

I don't think 2200 is your powder. I started inputting data, I was at 80% capacity and already over pressure.

at 96.5% capacity, I was over 80,000psi.

Reloader 17, Win 760, IMR 3031 and Ramshot Big Game all can produce 2500+fps with that bullet and pressures 41-43K psi's

20" barrel.
