  1. Has anyone used the Alliant 'STEEL' powder in pistol loads? Specifically 44 mag or 45 LC? It's between 2400 and H110 on burn rate, little slower than 2400. I saw some in the store between the only other two selections, Pyrodex and IMR 7828. From the internet, it's main problem is being a flake powder, it doesn't meter well.

  2. I've got one on a old mauser I picked up in TX. Still has the stock barrel with simple ream job.  Haven't fooled around with it in 30+ years. My old sierra manual has loads for it, as it was pretty common in the 60's and 70's. Mine is a 8mm/06 improved, but the only dies I have are  straight 8mm/06. I just fireformed 30/06, and then just neck sized the cases. Used .323"170 gr hornady and 4064. I've probably still got the work up data somewheres.  Never got real serious with it, as it was and still is, rough as a cob.

  3. Might have been a rust blue, there's not enough finish left to tell. By the code it's a Dec. 1929 model, and the finish is even gone where the stock covered it. No pitting though, just really really thin bluing left. Anyone know anybody they'd recommend? It's no collectors item, just a good old solid gun I'd like to revive.

  4. It was pretty impressive, and frankly heartwarming, to see the response to the missing daughter of a fellow.TGO'er.  The WORD spread quickly and by 9.30ish am I had sent the picture to the 3 truckstops bordering I 40 here in Cumberland County, and I'm sure it was the same in other members AO.  Thank God this turned out well, but this could serve as an example of co-operation and 'getting the word out' that could be used in other emergency situations.
