I have a Ruger Deerfield that I would like to put an inexpensive red dot on. Ruger has a propitiatory mount on it that will not accept these. Years ago I had a Mini 30 and the mount son it and the Deerfield were interchangeable. In fact the mount on the Deerfield now is the one that...
I went to a gun show a while back and a vendor there was handing out 'sample' packs of 20 .308 150gr HPs. A while later as I was loading some Hornady 150 SPs and I had a lot of 30-06 brass I loaded the 20 HPs also. I went to the range and sighted the rifle in for deer season with the Hornady...
First off I am not a turkey hunter or really have an urge to be one. I have been out a few times with friends and I do enjoy the sound of them gobbling on the next ridge. At present I feed a small flock of toms in my back yard area. We had a near total acorn failure in our area and the birds...
Does anyone have actual experience loading L'gun for a .44 mag rifle with 240 gr. XTP bullets. Neither the manufacturer of the powder or Hornady show a rifle load for this powder and bullet but both show this bullet with this powder in their recommended pistol loads. What is up?

I have been using H110 for my heavy loads in both my .357 and .44 rifles. I get real good results in both but have a slight problem with the loading process. I have a lee powder measure and it dribbles the fine H110 all over the place. From other lines I have heard this is a standard thing...
I am loading some free range 223 brass with a weighed out load of 26gr Re#15 and a 55gr SP rem bullet. 26gr of 15 just bout fill most of the cases and Lee 2nd ed shows a high load of 28gr and they are usually pretty conservative with their high end loads. While I have no want or need
to...
I have a couple of questions. My wife had an accident that has put her 1894C out of action for a while. Because of this she will be shooting an 1894 in .44 mag this deer season. While she can handle full power 240 gr. loads and shoots well with them she is uncomfortable shooting a lot of...
In several past occasions when someone had ask if you could load both .38 special and .357 mag. cartridges from the same set of dies I have piped up and said that yes, I do it all the time. I would like to qualify that. I have Lee dies and have loaded probably a thousand .38s with no trouble...
Has anyone had any experience with one of the new Handi Rifle 22 inch 45 Colt barrels? I gave upon getting accuracy with one of their .44mags but would like to shoot something similar. I would use it mainly for target shooting so would like it to be somewhat accurate. I probably ask this...
Does anyone have anything either good or bad to say about the accuracy of the present production Marlin 1894 .44mag with Ballard rifling? I would be happy with 2” in 50’. I am interested only in the accuracy of the gun not whether it will cycle certain bullets. I had a Handi in .44 by the...
Does anyone have a Red Dot or similar powder load for a.44 mag 180gr laser-cast bullet? I am looking for a low power round to be shot from a Handi rifle.

More or less as an intellectual exercise as my seemingly endless supply of .38 brass makes me not too likely to do this. If I were to load .357 brass to .38 levels, do I use data from the .38 section of a reloading manual or look for the lowest possible load in the .357 section? Would say...
