10Turkeys

With a standard bolt face, Tikka makes one action and it's long. They adjust their magazines on the smaller type rounds.

I used to shoot with a guy that shot with Thunderbird powder. There would be a flame at least 8-10 inches at the end of his barrel.

How about 1863

I'll go Springfield 45-90.

The beer that made Milwaukee famous. Right up there with Falstaff.

Let's try IMI.

Winchester at one time had a trick shooter, if I remember right his name was Herb Parsons. Anyway he used to throw like 8 clays in the air with one hand and the blast the he'll out of them. He said that was how he did it by leaving his finger on the trigger and pumping the gun for all he was worth.

Savage?

Remington Nylon 66. Came in three colors. Mohawk Brown, Seneca Green, and Apache Black. The 66's fed from a tube in the butt stock. The 77's had a magazine. They had them in a bolt and lever also. The American Riflemen ran an article on them and the prices went through the roof. A real fun gun to shoot!

Another easy one.

From what I understand the early Winchester model 12's were the same way. Hold the trigger and shuck away.

Darn these new glasses! Maybe Mossberg.

Trigger guard and stock says Marlin.

I bought one of JOC's books a couple years ago, when I opened it up there was one of his letters that he wrote to another writer named Ben East. How it got it that book I haven't a clue. A bud of mine was a big Jack fan, so I gave it to him.

Not I. Straight to Carmichael. When he retired I let my subscription lapse. When you go into Brunos there is a pic of him and Lester at a Bench rest match somewhere.

Two weeks ago 3 people tested positive at the place where I work. Last Thursday 1 of them went to the hospital, went into cardiac arrest and died. It is real.

A Skeet house with a piece of wood in the upper.

I always thought that a nap was part of being in the woods.

There is GunsAmerica also.

I think a few people have tried that and the big buck ended up being a decoy from G&F. The last time I saw it at the AZ State Fair exhibit, it had been shot quite a few times.

I try to measure the center of the case when I measure. What you want to do is stay consistent, what you do with one case do to all. If you have a 3 die Cowboy set, most of those cowboy loads are lead, a little different between a jacketed bullet and a lead bullet. Check your instructions that are with the die.

First off your cases on this diagram has a max length of 2.039. This is a SAAMI spec, and I'm assuming that you haven't had your chamber measured, so your chamber might be shorter or longer. When you fire your case it will grow just like your finger nails do, so they need to be trimmed. Letting them go past the specified length causes a problem by the brass getting to far into the chamber area, when the case if fired the brass is not allowing the proper space the bullet needs to clear the chamber thus causing pressure. When you are loading for a case that you are going to crimp and they all haven't been trimmed to the same length they are probably not crimped in the same place on the cannalure, but with the 30-30 it won't make that much of a difference. As far as a factory round measuring less than your reloads, it probably wasn't the same bullet, so the cannalure probably wasn't in the same spot. If your rounds cycled through your gun ok, then give them a try. As your shooting and cycling them into your chamber check your bullets and see if they went further into the case, if not your crimping them ok. That 2.550 is the max length.

There are three classes of levergun silhouette. I shot it once or twice years ago, then you started on chickens or which ever animal and kept on shooting til you were done with no break between relays. It was June or July when I shot the match with a Winchester 94 20 inch barrel, could have cooked meat on the barrel after it was over. It is run different now. If you want more info go to Rio's web site and the Match Directors info is there.

When I was younger, I used to sleep on the floor of a tent, with age came a cot, now it's an inflatable mattress. The one that's a foot or so off the floor. They are cheap and more comfortable than a cot. The only downside to them is that once in awhile they lose a little air and you have to reinflate them, usually around 2 AM.
