    Kick Myself Later Deals

    Found some of the very earliest Shooting Times(#2 issue -#5 issue) in an antique store. Think they were dated in the mid 50's and they were like a 4 or 5 page flyer you get out of the newspaper. The #2 had a small for sale section and a guy was advertising a Singer Mfg. 1911 for $75.00. Passed...

    Scope bite!

    Never had it happen to me, but did see the Alaska-Kilcher episode where Junior stupidly set his wife up for complete failure and the scope bit her, badly. Why in the would you put someone , who has never fired a scoped high powered rifle before, laying down in the prone position with the barrel...

    Has anyone heard of "The Retirement Gun Business Guide"?

    If you are 67, you are considered to have reached full retirement age and limits don't apply at that age. Sky's the limit.

    optional reloading stuff you wished you didn't get and stuff that made you happy

    Disappointed in the C-H primer pocket swager. By the time I could get a primer to seat in .223, the tool was already pulling the case rims off. Did manage to get some 9mm case swaged but it was close to bending the rims on them. Wish I had bought sooner: Dillon Primer Pocket Swage...

    why are dillon rifle dies 5x lee?

    While I'm partial to Redding, a friend of mine had a commercial loading business and two of his 25 thousand dollar Camdex machines came with Lee dies. He said the dies were never a problem.

    A most unlikely gun for a modern riot

    The one I read about many years ago was in Canada where a man robbed a savings and loan of $8000 with a 1911 made by the Ross Rifle Co. At the start of the war, our US govt. had contracted for Ross to build some 1911's and send them in for evaluation, but Ross didn't get a contract and abandoned...

    Aguila .22 ammo

    For years Eley made the best .22 match ammo until the Russians came along with a super accurate round. The problem was Eley would furnish the Brittish shooters with all the lots of ammo and which ever lot shot best was what they would take to the Olympics. Eley then distributed what was left...

    The most dangerous alteration you've seen?

    Whitman had my middle sister pinned behind a flag pole base at the bottom of the tower. My oldest sister had just ran into her sorority house on University when he killed a man who was on their sidewalk. I remember that day well.

    Surprised by published data for 38 spl. and H110

    http://www.darkcanyon.net/handguns_by_skeeter_skelton_May_1969.htm Interesting article by Skeeter back in 1969. I shot a ton of Super Vel back then in 38 Special. It was hot stuff and recoil wasn't pleasant.

    .357 Split Cases

    Though I haven't shot any nickel plated Remington ammo in 30 years, I always thought it was a given that 2 or 3, out of the box, were gonna split. That was my experience with them.

    Colt Trooper questions

    I bought a 4 digit Trooper MKIII back in 1970. It had recessed cylinder like a Smith. Wish I had kept that one. Don't know when they went to the non recessed but the one I bought in 1976 had the flush cylinder.
