  1. If you’re trying to reduce recoil dropping 35 grains isn’t going to do much. Lyman made 400, 340’ and 292 grain .458 molds. I use the 292 in my 1886 lever-action. You could drill the base out as suggested if you have a lathe to keep the hollow base concentric, but in my experience lead likes to gaul and grab the drill. Accurate Molds can make a custom mold to your specs.
  2. I could probably find some non-SASS members to buy large rifle primers and magnum rifle if you have them and are inclined so clear out any stock you have.

    1847 Walker

    He carried four revolvers, so you are just getting started. https://www.imfdb.org/wiki/The_Outlaw_Josey_Wales
  4. I recommend listening to the Fox Pro podcasts. We are right in the middle of the breeding season!
  5. It was a joke. How many would actually be able to hear it???
  6. I spoke with a Hodgdon rep at Shot Show and he said it would start shipping by late spring.
  7. Use it to start a stage. When the last note plays the shooter draws.
  8. In Prescott, we have Puttin' On The Hats, The Prescott Trading Company, and another shop diagonally from St. Michael's Hotel, all on the plaza. Ogg's Hogan on Cortez will have used hats in the back. I think they are closing in March. And there is a Boot Barn in Prescott Valley.
  9. I am selling my collection of Gun Reports. Each issues was packed with gun and cartridge history. $350 for all. These can’t be shipped using media rate as they have advertisements in them. I can bring them to EOT on the last Saturday. See below for the database of issues included. The 1955-1990 index is also included. It’s all or none.
  10. I am selling off more of my collection related to the DRGW which is now the Durango Silverton. This includes: Silver San Juan: The Rio Grande Southern — this was the narrow gauge from Durango to Ridgeway. This route included some of the most rugged and stunning areas including Rico. This line also spawned the use of the Galloping Geese, engine/bus combinations that had passenger seating and freight. The line stopped running in 1952. The Rio Grande Pictorial Narrow Gauge Pictorial Vol II — The passenger cars of the DRGW. Also included are 1950s-1960s vintage Trains magazines, each with articles or advertisements for the DRGW. The last remaining segments of these lines are the Cumbres & Toltec and the Durango Silverton narrow gauge railroads. $100 shipped for all. I take PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, check, or money order.
  11. No Man-With-No-Name ensemble is complete without this watch! For only $149 you too can look like Clint Eastwood or Lee Van Cleef. https://www.amazon.com/Straightline-Music-Pocket-Watch-DOLLARS/dp/B01N7JEXBQ/ref=sr_1_4_sspa?c=ts&keywords=Men's+Pocket+Watches&qid=1707676761&s=apparel&sr=1-4-spons&ts_id=6358542011&ufe=app_do%3Aamzn1.fos.18ed3cb5-28d5-4975-8bc7-93deae8f9840&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&psc=1
  12. You have not been to the Shot Show. The vast majority of folks were 20s-40s, all wanting to see and try the next big thing, all wanting to be first to get it on their YouTube channel, Instagram, or similar platform. Long Range sports are all the rage these days. 1,000 yards is done with budget Ruger Americans. 1400 yards is well in reach of many younger shooters. I watched an NRL Hunter match last month, mostly done by 20-30-year-old shooters. The matches are so popular they sell out months ahead. PRS matches are even more popular. You may not be seeing it locally, but there were 55,000 people at Shot Show 2024! Most wanted to see the next best AR-type rifle or the next best chassis-stocked bolt-action rifle. (Admittedly, I was also looking as the NRL Hunter series was fun to watch and now I'm bit by the bug.) You can scream sacrilege all you want, but many were handling the black plastic-stocked lever-action rifles as well.
