possibly new run of hornady 35 remington

Went to my local big box sporting goods store for a new bag and noticed the ammo being restocked. I asked the fella if he had any 35 rem half jokingly. To my astonishment he said they just got in 15 boxes for the first time in 3 years. The price was outrageous, $47 a box, but I got a few and decided...

Re: Brownings early auto loaders

Thanks guys, took me awhile to put together. Was out at the deer stand at 6:30am to film that outro, it was pretty chilly out , 36 degrees F!
I'm considering buying a 81 in 300 Sav when I get the funds because I keep finding boxes of the stuff at gun stores. No 35 still from any store.

Made a video featuring my model 81 for fun. Hope I didn't get anything outrageously wrong.

That sling looks familiar to one a member here is selling on gunbroker. Is that where you picked it up?
Yup, its very nice.

The 1903 is my favorite pistol, very comfortable to carry and a very clean shooter

Re: Finally found ammo for my 81

Better chance looking for rain in Death Valley than Remington making anymore 35Remington. Remington as we knew it is no more.If it wasn't for Henry and Marlin lever guns being chambered in 35Rem it would probably have disappeared long ago like the 25,30 and 32's. Shame that you had to resort to GB ...

Re: Finally found ammo for my 81

With that old of brass annealing may not help much. .35 Rem brass is readily available on Gunbroker and elsewhere. Sadly its probably ready for the recycler. The necks might give up on pulling bullets. Too old, too brittle. Im going to use one or two as a test and if it doesn’t work im just going t...

Re: Finally found ammo for my 81

I decided to fire one round as a test, and yup as expected it split the neck. I guess ill need to invest in that bullet puller and anneal these cases. That being said im impressed with the rifle as i hit a steel target from 200yds away exactly where i was aiming. Cant wait for my reloading equipment...

Re: Finally found ammo for my 81

Not trying to create problem where none exists.Just caution about what I have had occur with old brass in the past. The splitting of the necks occurs because as brass ages it gets hard and brittle and upon firing will break/split . Yours may be just fine and will more than likely function ok. If yo...

Want to buy model 81 barrel shroud front sling swivel

Re: Just got my first model 81

Thanks so much guys, was already tempted to buy a model 8 in .30 today but my judgment told me to save that money for ammo for the model 81 i already have.
Very happy to have found this forum.

Finally found ammo for my 81

I finally got ammo for my model 81 at a local show today. The seller gave me a very fair price on all his 35 remington. He also had the most 30rem i have seen in one place. Im excited to finally have some ammo in these trying times and it is all in very good condition. If by some miracle you post he...
