    For sale: Marlin 1895 SBL, Iowa

    My son wants to sell his Marlin 1895 SBL, serial number is from 2013. Never had a problem of any kind, he just wants one that is threaded. This one doesn’t have enough room in front of the tube magazine to do that. He’s hunted quite a bit with it, so there are a few dings in the stock but...

    When to keep or replace a vehichle

    I think I agree with you if that was the decision that had to be made, but he doesn't HAVE to buy a new car and take on the additional debt and expense, whether it's $25k, $35k, or $52k. I hate spending money on cars - buying new gives you increased depreciation, higher insurance, and higher...

    Moisture In Primers? Failure to Ignite

    I wouldn’t get rid of 8k primers unless I was confident that something was wrong with them and not the gun I was trying to use. Do you know you had them seated well, good firing pin strike?

    Matching powder to bullet

    Yep - it's really that simple. You'll need a few basic tools to make sure you're weighing the powder consistently/accurately, and also being able to measure your loaded rounds to ensure they're to specs as noted in your reloading manual. Those measuring tools can also help you when something...
