Re: Wolf Primers?

I have a LEE Auto Prime and I use Federal LP Mags with no problem in my .44 mag. I don't crank on the tool either. I take my time to be sure the primers are seated properly.

Re: Good brush gun?

I thought the 30-30 had more range and more energy than the .44 mag. It's not a 30-06 but more oomph than a .44.

Re: Need accurate .22 semi-auto that will shoot CB's?

Pony,

I was wondering if the Gamo was legal in Canada. It would figure if they outlawed a quiet air rifle. I checked Cabela's and they don't show restrictions to Cananda.

Re: Coyote!

I know with our wildcat .338/.375 improved, we have to use Winchester brass. Remington brass won't hold the primers. Changing the brand of brass might help.
