    30-06 to 404 Jeffery

    I built my .404 on a Winchester model 70 , " black shadow " 300 rem ultra mag action I got cheap , partly because the trigger was adjusted to light and it wouldn't cock . And probably because not many people want a sub 6 pound .300 mag of any kind once they shoot it ! It is the same action as...

    Starling Shooting

    I made a deal like that , but where they fell down into a wire cage at the bottom . I also made a little trap for sparrows that used tin can open on both ends balanced on a lever next to a feeding shelf so when they hopped in it to get the food it went down into a cage and they stepped out into...

    Turnbull S&W M15-8

    They did a 99 Savage for me and it looks brand new . I see that it recently sold to the guy that has a Youtube channel called the Cinnabar . he's made a couple of video's featuring it , and I think the same guys are working there . They do do great work!

    There is video/moving pictures of the Arizona going up from a hit to the magazine . Not much time to get your derringer out !

    Naval Rifles

    I would agree with Slamfire , too . Everybody on board a ship is in danger of fire and drowning . And sharks if you have to abandon ship !

    Convert Marlin 336

    Just thought up the perfect wildcat for you . Neck a 307 Marlin down to .257 and call it the 25 Kentucky head hunter ! Or twenty five tornado !

    Convert Marlin 336

    If you want to go with a wildcat , something like a 30-30 necked up to .338 and blown out would be neat . Or if you can find a .444 marlin bolt to trade out with there are some wildcats like the .375 JDJ that up the power level quite a bit .

    .219 Zipper or 25-35 are both pretty obscure these days . There's 7MM Waters , .32 Win special , 38-55 and .375 win " big bore"

    Another disappointing die purchase

    I had a set of Lee 25-20 dies that had a burr cutting down the side of the neck . called them and they said send them back. Got a new set in a few days , like they had crossed paths in the mail.

    Cougar kills young man in California

    The older was 21 , and the younger 18 . I would think they could legally carry a handgun if they had one , but California is a different place then it was when I left there over 30 years ago .

    Cougar kills young man in California

    I read a statement from the young men's family this morning . The reason they didn't have guns with them was that it was opening day of youth turkey season and they didn't want to bring attention to themselves . They are both avid outdoorsmen , hunters and fishermen .The cat did not ambush them...

    Semi Guided Boar Hunt In Exchange For Some Mechanic Work

    I think you are right about the gun law deal . Bringing in an AR isn't gonna be a good idea probably . And there is a no-lead ammo law for hunting , so all copper is a must , but there are very good copper bullets so that is not really a hindrance . In Cali. pigs are considered a game animal ...

    Keep .280 Rem or sell for something else?

    There is an advantage to .280 AI specifically though . It is a SAAMI approved cartridge so there is published data to load it quite a bit stronger then standard .280 . And there is factory ammo for it , too .
