also, start small caliber (.22 LR) and work up. Gives you one less variable to work on...

Anybody know if it's possible to retrofit the new 2nd gen Marlin T900 trigger assembly to the first generation Marlin 17HMR Model 917VS? I've got a first generation, and the trigger pull pretty much stinks... Just found out about the T900 on the Marlin web site. A web search doesn't turn...

What is that? We haven't progressed beyond duct tape in Alaska! And what LPI do you use on your lid rim checkering? :D Good tip, Travis, thanks! Tactile/Tactical = my first belly laugh of the day, Mad Man...

Depends on what I'm hunting. I don't ever like to be "run dry". Even at the range, I'm always carrying something that's still loaded. Hunting, I've got anything from a 9mm to a .44 Mag strapped on.

John, thanks. I have recently exceeded my memory capacity on three letter acronyms (TLA's). I have to ditch one in order to learn/relearn/remember the next! Looking back at your post, it's now obvious from context. Good explanation about penetration ratings. I would not want to be on the...

JShirley, what is SBA? Thanks, David

Bianchi #4/4L. May have to find it used...I don't think it's in their catalog anymore.

I think it has been through at least once before, Rogelio, but I missed the thread. Funny! Would love to actually hear that when traveling...

Stephen, looking at your 3rd photo: LOA is cartridge overall length? And the target dots in that photo are about 3" in diameter? Hornady and Corbon loads do indeed look good! Blind hog, my foot! :D

They've always seemed a little pricey to me, but it depends on what you're looking for. Shooting supplies, clothes, boots, magazines and clips? I rely on Cabelas, Midway, CDNN, REI and occasionally Cheaper Than Dirt.

Common pronunciation is chew-gatch

:D Without the guttural!

Siggyboy, I was composing my post and didn't see yours...

Sig is acutally an acronymn, S.I.G., for Schweitzerische Industrie Gesellschaft (roughly, Swiss Industrial Company). Sauer is the family name from J.P. Sauer & Sohn (famous rifle makers), which was acquired by SIG in the '70s. Sauer is pronounced roughly as the English "sour". If you want a...

Pic #1: LOL! Front carrier with Dad, a pacifier, and ear protection. Life doesn't get any better... Gonna make it to Knob Creek one of these years. Bit of a drive for me, though.

Only time I've had problems with P226 slide lock was with a thumb-high hold. Took only what I perceived to be a light touch on the slide release to prevent lock. In reality, there was probably significant engagement due to recoil. After moving my thumb down and parallel to the slide, all was well.

During die setup, I judge by eyeballing and feeling the crimp of the reloaded round and comparing it to a factory round. Win296 has been great for me. It's a ball powder, and meters well. Significant flash though.

I'm wearing one. If he's local, ask him to let you borrow it and wear around the living room for several hours. Be sure to sit on varied furniture and to stand, lean, bend, etc. I consider it a mid-rise. It's a straight drop (no forward cant) holster that is good construction. The leather...

Notification of homeowner required in Alaska.

My first self-purchased handgun was a S&W M&P .38 Special. My friend bet me I couldn't hit a 55 gallon barrel at 100 yards. Hit it with all six shots. I was more surprised at his disbelief than at my shooting skill...a barrel is a pretty big target. A handgun wouldn't be my FIRST choice at 200...
