I wondered about that. I only shoot 1911 model .45's and mainly lead rounds as my heart belongs to the .44 mag.

Having a friend who is a Deputy in a nearby town; I was given quite a large amount of mainly 45acp brass. I letteraly have more than I will ever shoot. Most of it is Remington and Speer by a large margine. Of the Speer most have large primer pockets but about 200 rounds are small primer pockets...

I like and have bought Skinner sights for Marlin .22's . I didn't know they made one for the pre-64 model 94.

Very interesting. Perhaps the new stocks were designed for scopes and not iron sights? I plan on getting the Williams fool proof and hope I can keep my front sight. I would like the hood for it that is missing from mine.

I am having a rifle rebarreled in a .257 Roberts AI. Mine will have 7.5 twist and be 20 inches in length. I am new to loading for the Roberts and the AI version and want to ask if leaning toward faster powders would be an advantage with the shorter tube. With powders being harder to find...

Wow! I have ordered a 7.5 twist .257AI as well and it is due in June as well. What barrel maker did you choose? Mone was Shaw and I can only hope it would arrive early.

Wow!! That is the kind of answer I was hoping for. I honesty didn't expect that kind of accuracy that was great. I also am glad you didn't have to replace the front sight as that was a concern I didn't even state. Great pictures and thanks! Pockets

I recently acquired a pre 64 Winchester model 94 in 30/30. I am a deer hunter and have more than a few deer rifles. I enjoy taking game with different rifles I load for as an added challenge. I now have a model 94 in 30/30 built in 1959 the year I was born. I want to take a deer with it but...

UPDATE: After responding to your remark from my post I called my gunsmith. His son who takes calls and relays responses to customers was able to contact the barrel manufacturers with the order number and change the twist rate. For the AI barrel I chose on a 10 twist and a 7.5" twist was...

I have ordered a 10 twist and was given the option of a faster 8.5" twist. I was thinking 120gr. would be the heaviest bullet I would use and the 10" twist would do. You got me curious and I can contact my gunsmith and see if a change-order could be possible. Thanks for the insight.

Howdy, I am having built a .257 Roberts AI on a Remington model 7 action. I am an avid reloader, shooter and hunter. I am new to the .257 Roberts but chose to rebarrel a great rifle in a .25 cal and not a .243 just to be different. It will be a 10" twist so my loads will be 120 gr and under...

Guy, I question why I bought them as my Nosler load manual didn't even list them in there. I don't load different bullets to manuals of other brands. It is now available but till I learn more...
