Re: 1906 .35Rem going to the range tomorrow.

So now i've bought a reloader, searching for brass, ordering a tumbler, looking for primers, projectiles and powder. I'm thinking that I've contracted Jackitis but it's currently just in the reloading stage....

Re: 1906 .35Rem going to the range tomorrow.

Well, the 108 year old girl did her part. Me, maybe not so much. between 120-125 yards 4" groups 6 rds of 200gr Remington factory first round was a test shot because it was likely that the firearm had not been shot in over 50 years. (not sure which was first, no one was on the spotting scope te...

Re: New and old.

Roger,

This one resided in Michigan's Upper Peninsula for a vast majority of it's life. It may have visited Wisconsin a few times though, but we forgave it those transgressions.
