I have a buddy who also says they shoot well.

Yes I certainly feel I did well with the bullets, and really on most of the items.

Yeah I got a great deal on those. Good to hear from you.

The gun show vendors here rarely have new guns, generally speaking most stuff is old and used, which suits me just fine.

@314299 OK, rub it in. Even the gun shops around here rarely have more than a couple of used older guns

@@ww321 I think a lot of it is due to the age of a lot of vendors (they are on the whole an older group) and also the fact that only the part time /hobbyist types seem to get tables, the full time professional dealers dont often book tables as they dont seem to find it worth while.

My purchases required a couple trips to the vehicle. The small stuff can be stuck in pockets but big or heavy items call for a walk out to the the car.

I was at a gun show yesterday but did not come back with nearly as much "stuff". On the plus side I did not spend as much money.

Yeah I like rooting around for reloading components and parts. Sometimes one gets lucky.

I imagine it was quite common and cheap back in the 1990's.

I agree. Thanks for the comment.

Yeah the last couple were really quite good, at least from my perspective.

The model 39 mags will indeed get tested. I'm pretty sure looking at photos of factory mags that these ones are indeed original S&W produced ones.

@@314299 that's good

It seems as though not as many people bring books to gun shows as they used to.

Yes indeed, that's a fair bit of shooting. If only I had found some similar deals on primers to reload them with.

Yes I suppose it was a decent deal as it was a "tax included" price. I'm still stuck in the past as far as prices are concerned and I have a hard time wrapping my head around the current prices of ammo.

Good to have verified, thanks for the info.

Used molds really dried up around here compared to years ago, and there are rarely any high quality books, generally just the paperback stuff.

Yeah I'm interested to see how it works out, but first I have to get it to close 100%. At first it was making bullets that were .229", with some work I got that down to .227" but the bullets still fin and there is a bit of an air gap. If I can get the blocks to close properly I think they will be .225".

That's really unfortunate. It's hard to do a three day wait on events that generally last one or two days.

Yeah I thought I did OK.

It's the first 225450 I've run across for sale. What diameter of bullets does yours produce? This one is dropping them large at the moment as the blocks dont close 100%

@@314299 I usually cast them straight LINO. But get I .225

@@cw2a Thanks, I figured .225 would be a more normal bullet from this mold.

Yep, no tax and no shipping charges make up for paying a little more in person.

New 6.5 MS brass sounds interesting. What brand is it?

The MS brass is Norma and there’s 50 new and about 45 used Dominion. The carcano brass is nyy and there’s 50 new and 50 used. There’s a box of 100 carcano bullets .268” dia. I need a bit of time to unload the used stuff and pull the primers.@@314299

I agree, they do look like originals and at $25 were 1/3 of what I expected to pay..

@314299 yea I see them for 75 regularly in ohio.

No I have never done such a video. I dont have regular access to shoot anywhere with that much distance. The local military range goes out to six hundred yards but access to it is not as regular as it used to be. I did shoot some round nose 303 British out of a P14 at 600 yards on a windy day and the amount of hold-off required for the wind was quite a lot. I agree it would be interesting to see a side by side comparison to demonstrate the real world difference between pointed and round nose bullets at distance, it's just that there is so little opportunity to do it around here.

Are the vendors mostly professional dealers at the shows in your area?

​@@314299The larger show are roughly a third professional dealers, a third just normal people who bought tables, and a third non gun related (people selling jerky and items like gutter guards for your house). The tiny shows at places like fire halls seem to be almost all non professional. I remember one table had UZI mags for $50 and I found them online for $12. That's kinda how the entire show goes.

@@jakeoutdoors9600 Up here there used to be a few guys who charged as much as, or more than, the cost of new stuff for their used items. There must have been a few gullible or uniformed customers to keep them going.

Last show i was at one table had ruger 10/22 s , at more than the cost of new , and they were not the good old ones either! When a man called him on it he just said that’s why we call it a gun SHOW !

Thanks.

@@314299 , your welcome.... Be Well.

I've seen them listed for that sort of money before. At the most I would pay 1/2 that much for one.

@314299 yes I was thinking $50 $60 would be lots for one.

I like the 100gr rn 6mm bullets, I'm about out of my stash of those. Used to have a slower 243win load for them that reduced the noise but they still walloped whatever I used em on.

Yeah I thought I did well.

Have you used the 100 grain bullets mostly on deer?

@@314299 thats the funny thing with anecdotes right? I guess I haven't killed much with them, bunch of menacing yotes too close for comfort, and the most recent deer I took with one of those was 2 years ago, they're tough enough that it takes a deer to open them up much at extended ranges, especially after 150yrds with a reduced load. Inside of that they open quickly but Penetrate well due to the long shank. But I guess everything else still on the market is supposed to be better since these are long ago discontinued. The 243 is supposed to be light-years better than the 3030, and using this bullet in the 243 is kindof backwards... buuuut... I'm also the guy that sometimes carry a 32-20 lever with XTPs , or a RNSP 7mm mauser, or an 8x56r sp load, or whatever other eclectic( by todays standards) cartridge hunting with me on hunting day...

And thanks again!

Yeah they are in a 22 Long format. The Long and Long Rifle share the same case length so it's the 30 grain bullet normally loaded in the Long that's the defining difference.

Yeah they are handsome. Mine works pretty good, but it's pretty heavy for a 22.

I have one two groove 303 and while they are adequate they are far from the ideal type of barrel.

I like two rather mild loads in 303 with the 314299 bullet, both recommended by C.E. Harris. The first is 13 grains of Red Dot and the second is 16 grains of 2400. Both are reliable performers in my experience.

@@314299 Ah! "The Load"! I have been using the Red Dot with a plain base 185 gr sorta rounded flat point (.315" diameter) from Accurate Molds. Good accuracy out to 75 yds (about the farthest I can see on my semi-wooded land). Thank you so much for your time. I love your channel and look forward to every new video.

I have been told I have a certain skill in locating the deals.

A lot of it is about who you know and spotting those amenable to negotiation. @@314299

If your H&R is in good condition I would think the Buffalo Bore ammo should be fine. If in doubt I suggest you contact them directly and enquire: www.buffalobore.com/index.php?l=page_view&p=contact_us

Sorry but it is not for sale.

I'm on the east coast of Canada. As for the "handgun ban" it is a ban on transfers, so I cannot get any new ones or sell my current ones. I can still own and use the ones I have, and I added a few "new" ones to the collection prior to the freeze. I dont generally discuss laws/politics up here as that was never the intent or purpose of the channel and there are better places to find such info, and the bulk of my viewers are not Canadian anyway (most are American).

@@314299 well thanks for what you do, I greatly enjoy your channel, I myself am in Florida but plan on moving to Canada eventually, I'd like to purchase a property in Nova Scotia, perhaps I run into you one day, cheers

@@ianmcguire-sh3vv Nova Scotia is certainly a nice province with a lot of diverse landscapes for a small place,

Thanks.
