The Darksider's Den / Re: How did we get these "Calibers"?
« Last post by Dave T on Today at 11:39:22 AM »
Mako,

I had a LEO friend (he was with the PD, I was with the SO) who called the 40 S&W the "38-40 Short, Straight, Rimless, Smokeless". Try stamping that on your duty weapon...lol.

As for the 44-40 designation, I read somewhere that name came from Marlin when they introduced their new short action lever rifle in that chambering. There was no way they were going to stamp "44 WCF" on their rifles/carbines so they came up with the 44-40 name. They even loaded their version with 215g bullets, not the 200g RNFP of the Winchester cartridge. I did in fact read that in a real book, not on the Wicki thing.  (smile)

Spencer Shooting Society / Re: Annealing the brass?
« Last post by El Supremo on Today at 09:59:33 AM »
Hello:

There is helpful annealing info in a recent N-SSA Forum Post by "Carolina Reb" within a Thread: "New Replica Spencer owner has questions" by "Eterry, approx 15APR24.

I prefer not to post links to other Forums, and suggest the N-SSA Form's Small Arms section be reviewed for the Thread.

Carolina Reb shares that when annealing short, cut-down cases, to not anneal with flame because of heat migration into the base.  Instead, anneal with molten lead.  I use molten salts, water quench to stop heat migration, and have had no case life issues.

Thanks to Carolina Reb on N-SSA, Arizona Trooper, here.
Most respectfully.
El Supremo/Kevin Tinny

I did a search of the membership list for "Tusac Jack" and we do not have anyone by that name or even close. Sorry.

Coffee is hot, and I made toast w/ Bacon jam, the last of the jam though...
I need to make a run the Farm Supply for horse feed anyway.

Guessers keep forecasting rain two & three days out, but then backpedal to sunny or partly cloudy the morning of. 
The latest say's 89 degrees, Humidity 92% and now 51% rain again  ???
