Yeah, I have a .308 Win die and a couple of boxes of ammo... but no rifle in that caliber. What to do... what to do?

And things being on sale... it's not only attractive for the ladies. If QVC sold firearms and components I'd be watching as often as my beloved watches for sparkly dangly bargains.

Sometimes however, I can't afford to save that much when somethings are on sale!  :-\

I don't have a Handi in 444 Marlin, but I do like your Handis, better you than me. ;D   Just think of it this way.  What good is a bullet mold for 444 Marlin, without a gun to shoot the bullets out of?  Enjoy your new Handis. 8)

You have a similar problem, a .308 Win., dies without a rifle in that caliber?  ???   Quick, the doctor prescribes a Handi Rifle in .308, or if you don't want a quick complete recovery, get a .308 Win barrel. ;)

You too?... just came from the gun shop where I ordered a 44 mag TALO Trapper. I got this vision of a 44 Trapper with a fixed four power Weaver scope... Thought it would look classy and be a nice tree stand gun... oh well, what can you do?

I know where you are coming from.  I've gotten stuck on a shotgun roller coaster the last few months.  I've got shotgun shells so old the plastic has dried out and split, so I need another like I need a third ear.  But somehow a topper 148, a 158, a couple pardners all in 12 ga., and a new 20 gage has followed me home.  Now I've got a 20 ga. rifled barrel inroute. 
 
I guess I better throw out my old shells and buy new.....
 
Best of luck with the 444's.  Thats one for each hand ya' know.

All the more reason to buy those other Handis.  Nah! Don't throw out those old shells, you just need a few more guns to shoot all those old shells. ::) ;D

I still haven't dialed in my .44 sights and I'm already thinking about getting a .45-70 but it'll have to be in a month or two...  I need to get some other things for hunting season first.

Ben

When you do get that barrel and decide to buy some new shells, you might want to try some of those Remington Buckhammers, and then be ready for that big smile your going to have on your face!
 
 
My culled down Handi's are the 45-70, and then I have a few others to keep it company...357 Mag/Max. .45 LC/.454 Casull Carbine, .243 Ultra, and 20 gauge Tracker II.
