    .357 Magnum ( Rifle ) Reloading

    I'm shooting 14 grains of 2400 with a 158 gr RN coated bullet out of my Henry. Easy on the body; you can shoot it all day long. I have not chronoed the thing but I can assure you it rips. It is jolting my thick 8 inch AR500 steel plates hard enough to actually slightly dent the surface at 45...

    Reccomend a knife sharpener

    Don't give up on the whetstones. I used an electric forever, recently went to whetstones. It's been a learning curve, but wow I am starting to get them super sharp. My biggest challenge is the tips of the blade, but I'm getting better at it. I use 400, 1000, 3000, and 8000 grit. I even have...

    Henry Big Boy X 357

    I can answer the in general question. Yes. I have a Big Boy in 357 and it eats my 38s. It even takes my 357 SWC bullets. Just a fun little gun.

    Am I The Only One Who Notices Things Like This?

    I'm a bit different when I watch movies that have guns. Even to this day I continue to be amazed at their ability to shoot a guy a block away with one shot and 38 snubby...one handed. And the recoil management these guys have shooting one handed, even when using full sized 1911s, simply...

    Picatinny/weaver rails

    I purchased the one specific for the gun. Just had a hard time wrapping my head around how the tapped holes are not the same for all rifles and shot guns, or at least limited to a few different configurations. I'm stubborn like that :)

    Cartridge for beaver

    357mag lever action but shoot a moderate to to low 38 special load maybe? Great excuse to buy a Henry Big Boy if you don't have one yet :)

    Picatinny/weaver rails

    Hi guys. I need an education about rails. I never used them. I would like to try a red dot on my Remington V3 shotgun. Can I buy any picattiny or weaver rail, or will they all be different because the receiver mounting holes are not standard from gun to gun? I tried searching for answers...

    10 yards good, 15 yards pretty good, 25 yards .....not so good.

    Yup. At 25 yards it is time for my Henry Big Boy 357 or Marlin 1895GBL; or wait until they get closer :)

    .308 has a kick?

    This right here are some great observations. I recently purchased a 308. I also recently purchased a 45-70. The 45-70 is used more for fun right now, shooting at steel. I reload, so I have been testing loads for my 308 (and the 45-70). All bench rest shooting. I will take the 45-70 with a...

    Henry vs Marlin

    I absolutely love the weight of my octagon 357 Big Boy. So steady in my hands. Not to mention it feels like shooting a 22.

    Henry vs Marlin

    I have the Henry Big Boy 357. Wonderful gun. The trigger is incredible. I love the weight. Hit an 8 inch target at 100 yards standing unsupported no problem, due largely to the extra weight of the barrel. It even eats my SWC reloads without a problem.

    brush and jag for 45-70

    Are there any of these available for 45-70 or is everyone just using 45 caliber brushes and jags? I am using the 45 caliber ones but they fit a bit loose. Thanks Pete

    Here is an easy question: What is the prettiest gun for you to look at?

    My Henry Big Boy. But I am really taking a liking to my new Marlin 45-70 GBL.

    Home Meat Grinders

    I will put in another vote for the Kitchen Aid attachment. Mine is 30 years old and still going strong. It has ground a lot of meat. I also have the pasta attachment, shredder attachment and sausage maker. All highly recommended except for the sausage maker. It has three main issues...

    Anyone using the Lee Buldge Buster on 9mm and 380?

    Nice to see I am not the only one that will have this issue with 9mm. My wife has an STI Apeiro and that thing has a very temperamental barrel. It is tight. I reduced OAL to 1.09 which all but eliminated the problem, but every once in a while we get one in there and it just won't get into...
