Time to change media in my tumbler. Been using corn cob media for years and it last a long time and does a passable job. However, I like shiny cartridges. They make me smile. What can I use that will give me shiny cases out of the tumbler? Steve Ashe

"but no substantive response ever about what I wrote to them to discuss." I hear you Oldtrader. However, "the pen is mightier than is the sword!" That quote extends today to email messages and to a lessor degree, phone calls. If your anti gun state pols were deluged with mail from their...

For those of you already active, I appolgize. For those who are still complacent, get moving now! This is so critically important that it should be posted in the most read sections of this site: Does anyone know how our contacts to Pols are going? What sort of effect can we expect against the...

The reason that I wanted to use the 120gr. BT over the other Noslers that I had been loading, is so I could get "one size fits all". The 120gr BT has cleanly killed what Storm and I are hunting, so I will stick with that. So far I have not been able to get the photos into my 'puter from Storm's...

Wife, Storm strikes again with her Howa 1500 bolt rifle in 7mm-8, using Nosler 120gr. Ballistic Tips! We went wild pig hunting in western Volusia County, here in FL. We climbed into our separate stands at 3:30 P.M. I made certain that Storm was situated before walking to my stand. 20 minutes...

Thanks for the replies. I found something that I wanted more, so I sold the Smith.

My opinion on value :$800-$900 depending on bore condition. "Your mileage may vary!" Good cartouche : Col Frank J. Atwood, Chief Inspector. Rebuild black color on receiver. Original green parkerizing would be from WWII. Straight "S" style stock. Steve Ashe

If you can post the photos, send my your email and I will forward the entire piece w/photos. I thought that the charging bear tangent discussion could value from a story of a man who was charged by a huge Brown bear. sashe@cfl.rr.com

Here is one for the books! Also notice what type of gun he was packing! An Alaskan howitzer!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mothers with cubs and starving old bears are a big worry. Just Outside Soldotna , Alaska . Read the captions...especially the last one. King season is...

Thanks for the responses. This one is so cherry, I hesitate to shoot it. Since I won't shoot it, it has to go, as soon as I finish fondling it. I enjoy holding a handgun when I watch films (at HOME) like "Dirty Harry". I practice by taking out bad guys, aiming at the screen. So likely will...

I see my S&W Mod. 19-3, 357Mag., 6" bbl., as new with box and instructions, valued on for sale sites at between $500 and $600. Why is it less than other S&W 357Mag revolvers from the same period. Steven L. Ashe

Jason wrote: "I always thought the issues of "only one scope" or even "only one bullet" go hand in hand with this subject, but they don't seem to get discussed as much." This, just my opinion. Once I get a scope mounted with the rifle shooting as I want it to shoot, I dast not touch the scope...

I regularly buy and sell US military rifles. The low end on any of the '03 family today, is around $400 for a complete, fireable rifle in decent overall conditon. At an Orlando gun show recently, I bought a Rem. made US Model 1903 for $400 net. There is no high end and some people are asking...

I spent 40 years repairing and restoring old clocks. I had two Ultra Sonic tubs, in which brass clock parts were suspended for cleaning. Time depended on the age and size of the part, but was not more than 30 minutes. The brass came out looking like new! I then only had to rinse the parts in...

Guy et al, Since I buy and sell US military long arms. I load a fair numbr of 30-06 cartridges for range testing. I try to hold cost down, as this is only to prove out the bore and I am not going for high MV. Not too long ago, a friend who no longer loads, gave me some components, the age of...

A "pretty" rifle is the one she is holding in the photo, sitting next to bagged game! My wife loves her Howa, with youth stock, in 7mm-08 using 120gr. Nosler Bal. Tips. So far: one white tail, one mule deer, one antelope and one hog. All one shot kills. She is ony 5'2" and launches the 120gr...

River Rider, what would be the differences twixt 280Rem and 35Whelan that might sway you one way, or the other? I have not had experience with 35Whelan, but I would think that it could lauch much heavier bullets, although with some loss of MV and some loss of flatter shooting, provided by the...
