    You're more likely to 'lock up' before it does.

    Super Single Six

    Can't add anything to what's been said except if you shoot a single-six you owe it to yourself to get one of his sights.

    What's your favorite Camp Revolver?

    99% of the time if I'm just out 'n about and not hunting, I carry a 4" .357. with a couple of 'shot' cartridges and a couple of 180gr'ers, just in case.

    30 Carbine old model Convertible

    No problem. In fact, when I bought my original .32-20 dies from Hornady for my Contender (they were made with a .308 bore) the set came with two expander buttons for the size die, a .308 and a .312. I've since acquired a .32-20 'Buckeye' and a NM .30 carbine (it will chamber and fire Starline...

    30 Carbine old model Convertible

    It's done, but most, including me, use .308 bullets designed for the .30 Carbine or size cast to .309.

    30 Carbine old model Convertible

    It's a .30 carbine with .30-20 cylinder. I know of more than a few that are made up that way. Ruger didn't do it is my bet.

    .307 jacketed bullets in 30 carbine?

    Yes, sir. Shoot them in mine regular and get good enough accuracy with them to shoot coyotes to 50yds.

    Question please , 30 carb. Ruger BH

    My .32-20 dies are Hornady Custom with two expander buttons, 1 .308 and 1 .313. I use the .308 button for the initial loading, then switch to my .30 Carbine dies for reloading.

    Blued steel, Ivory and Barranti leather

    I'll donate. Yes, I know it's a stainless and I could have substituted my .44 flattop, but this was handy

    Anyone shooting the 6.8SPC??

    Own 3, a 16" barreled Ruger 77, a 16" bushmaster and a 14" 'Tender. Taken deer and feral hogs with the cartridge to 200yds. I prefer 100gr bullets and 'large primer' cases.

    32 maggie/ 32/20 Head to Head

    Mike, Hornady dies for the .32-20 came with 2 expander 'buttons', .308 and .312. the contender barrels for the .32-20 were .308, most still are. It's not a problem loading .308 bullets in .32 cal cases. Been doing it for my Contender for years.....
