    44 Mag Brass too short

    My friend has a T/C G2 in 44 Mag and is not satisfied with his groups at 50 yards yet. We were looking last night and the chamber length is ridiculous in this barrel. Looks like a 2 3/4" shotshell in a 3 1/2 barrel. I have a Remintom 700 22-250 that I have to seat the bullet right up close to...

    Help me tighten my groups...

    If you are using a bipod, sandbag up a good shooting base and try turning the magnification down on your scope. 6x or less...

    The Hubble Space Telescope?

    Would Python prices drop if Colt made them again?

    The Colt snake guns are going to continue to apprieciate, they are precious metal to the gun market and collecters will continue to snap up everyone that comes down the isle at every gun show! The number of these guns still new in the box in the safes of collecters is absolutely staggering! The...

    Zanotti Armor ?

    Worth the wait Obviously the demand is high, I have two Zannoti safes and their breakdown design make them very popular! If you aren't putting your safe on a main floor and stairs are involved I would highly recommend them. A safe is a safe the breakdown design for some of us is worth the price!

    Has anybody else tried veggie oil for lube

    Case Lube Using a bit of veggie oil on the outside of the case doesn't bother me much but I can not imagine getting it inside the cases and introducing soap and water to my brass! In a pinch one time I used Oyster clipper spray made for lubricating the head on dog clippers. I eventually got a...

    Barnes Shooters Share Your Stories Please

    In December 2007 I made the change from a shotgun shooting a slug to a 45/70 T/C Encore handgun. My choice of bullet was the Barnes Triple Shock HP 250 grain .458 caliber do to the successes I have had with the pure copper projectiles in the Remington Coppers Solids I had been using for deer in...

    Seeking opinions on .44 mag leverevolution for hunting... any advantage?

    I see no benefits to the Leverevelution round for you other than they look cool. They are designed for the tube magazine rifle and the recoil might be more than you are used to. Stay with a factory HP or handload your own. The 44 Mag handloaded to 1350fps pushing a Barnes 225 gr Triple Shock...

    Another dead tumbler?

    I am on my second one, my first just a cheap RCBS lasted almost 16 years. For at least 2 months out of the year mine runs non stop. I think you have a voltage issue an electric motors service life is dependant on it! Do you go through lightbulbs in your house frequently as well?
  10. Q

    Who has their guns insured?

    Theft and fraud Your firearms are covered under your household umbrella in the event of fire ect, the theft coverage is outrageous due to fraudulant claims. I paid $700 a year for a couple of years and elected to drop the theft coverage and buy a couple of safes. Odds are if you have your guns...

    45-70 or a 444 Marlin, Which would you choose?

    45/70 Fan I had a 15" T/C Encore handgun in 45/70 and can not praise it enough. I shot 4 deer this year with it at ranges between 50-130 yards all dropped dead only one produced even a wiggle. The new Barnes 250gr triple shock bullet is unreal! We are a shotgun state for deer but can use...
  12. Q

    What is the last gun that you bought?

    As much fun as the HMR Remington 799 in 22 Hornet, only 11 grains of powder 2900 FPS. Fun as the HMR and handloads cheaper at current prices than HMR

    Lovely treatment at Wal*Mart tonight

    Buying shooting supplies at Walmart is like having your Prostrate examined by your dentist.
  14. Q

    What if you run into this cop...

    I think the officer could have handled the situation better but as a father of two boys if I witnessed them address any public official as "Dude" the skateboard probably would have been introduced to Mr Chainsaw when we got home.
  15. Q

    would a manhole cover stop a .50BMG round?

    Mythbusters Sounds like the Mythbuster guys need to dust off the 50 and put this one to rest!
