Thank ya sir. Been a long time.

It has been a long while. Kinda had life going on, plus a frozen shoulder made me to not even want to think of a gun.
Anyway, I'm trying to get back in the swing of things.

My parents both enjoy dove just plain grilled, but it was an acquired taste I'm sure. Probably an acquired tolerance is more accurate.
Dad has always been an avid small game hunter, and starting from nothing, we grew up eating dad's squirrels, rabbits, and dove.
With the way I shoot most days, what was a cheap meal for dad to feed his young family, costs me as much as buying sirloin steaks, what with my 2 birds per 1 box of shells shooting average. Haha
Wich brings up my recipe.
Good ammo! Good ammo!
remington hull, Winchester primer, ,27gr winchester WSF, federal 12s3 wad, with 1-1/8 oz 7.5 shot.
Low pressure & 1400fps. Can take out birds others don't even pull up their guns for.

I love the fact that with my Marlin 1894 in 357 mag I practically can't miss a target at 100 yards with iron sights, standing up, off hand !
It it is my FAVORITE gun to shoot.

Seeing any CCI 22 WMR (AKA 22 MAG)???

My best one on RCBS was, I bought an older Rockchucker that had the straight green pull handle & while I was on the phone getting a new hopper for my $10 Uniflow I mentioned I would like to have the ball type pull handle for the Rockchucker. Yup got one of those to (just because I waned a different one).

I have acquired a Dillon 450JR. It is not a RL 450 is is a 450JR.
There is not a lot of info on this one out there that I am finding. -
I'll give it a try there Caster.
-
I would do 500 to 1000 gun clubs if they are the brass coated heads.
-
Oops. Double tap.
-
That was how I came up wit the 256 win mag myself, but mine is in a Marlin model 62. I have a sweet spot for Marlin leverguns.

Years of collecting little things.

Model 58.

& the 12 ga is Winchester 209 primer with a clay buster wad Federal 12s3 I beleive, 29gr Winchester WSF powder behind 1 1/8 oz shot.
Hits within 10FPS of 1400 every shot. -
You are the man. But still one incorrect. Yes the smaller one is a 357 mag necked down to a 25 cal to be a 256 win mag. The one that is left is the ole 6.5 jap to finis it off.
So the list is :
9mm, 45acp, 38spl, 256 win mag, 32-20win, 357 mag, 41 mag, 44 mag, .223, 22-250, 225 win, 30-30, 35rem, 44-70, 444marlin, 243 win, 7.62x54r, 6.5 jap, 30-06, 7mm rem mag,& the ole 12 ga.-

Ok the ones missed are 30 Herret & 7mm-08
That is a good eye. Surprised ya got the 225 Win & the 32-20. There are still 2 oddball ones left. -
Holy crap you are close. I'll analize when I get the phone charged.
-
Got a couple more.
Starting from left is 9mm, 45 ACP, 38spl, & yes a .223 & 7.72x54r is in there somewhere. With 12 ga on right of corse.
None are 5.7, 5.45, 22mag, or 308
Hint some of these at odd calipers. -
Not a 300mag but close.
We now have both ends identified with a 9mm & 12 ga. -
Haha. Was about the cheapest I could get. I will promise ya that.
-
I haven't done this in a while. See how well you can guess each caliber that I load for.
Of corse the grand prize is bragging rights that you know your stuff.-

I have a safe full of 39a, 1894, 336, 1894, 1895 & model 62 Marlin rifles.
With that being said I have a 1895 Remiln guide gun that is spot on. The quality of it is great(it's not a 1970's Marlin by any means) but at 100 yards off hand with iron sights I will still put it up against one. -
Don't rule out the new Marlins or (remlins) if you will. I collect Marlin leverguns, & always look for the presafety guns.
With that being said I do own a (remlin) 1895 GBL guide gun in 45-70. The fit & finish is great even though I'm not a fan of checkering. The sights are spot on straight out of the box. & is actually my favorite Marlin to shoot besides my 1894 in 357 mag.
Just don't rule something out without checking it out yourself if you have a chance.-

I have the RCBS & all works well. I load 9mm , .45 ACP, 38 spl, 357 mag, & a few .223. Priming system works great in the 3000 to 4000 I hVe loaded on it. I mounted a RCBS lil dandy powder throw in one of the holes & it also works great (just expensive for a few of the rotors).
Ok I'm back
