Nice find on the Blackhawk! I'd have a hard time passing a 357 max up if I found one. I'm not a super accurate shot but I've found gripping the revolver high up helps me. I've got an old model 357 mag and I basically hold it so that the hammer is just touching the top of my hand when...

I got 3077 fps avg in 30-06 with a 150 gr Nosler ballistic tip. This was Hodgdon's max load of 62.0 gr of H4350.

Those loads are for 180 gr bullets. In any case, I'm not sure how much this is telling. The lead load is for less powder and has less pressure. Does anyone have pressure data for the same powder load with cast and jacketed bullets?

We made a cheap tumbler out of an old windshield wiper motor and a large coffee can. Works well. Runs pretty hot on 12 V but I run off 6 V. Get some decent media for it. I tried kitty litter which was innefective and smelled bad (perfume) before getting some walnut + rouge media. I usually...

Here's some real world compared to powder co. data. Trail Boss: 4.2 gr, 158 gr SWC IMR's 10" test barrel barrel = 865 fps My OM Blackhawk 6.5" barrel = 732 fps Lil Gun: 18.0 gr, 158 gr Hornady XTP Hodgdon's 10" test barrel = 1577 fps My OM Blackhawk 6.5" barrel = 1412 fps Don't...

Here is the word from John Taffin.

38 in 357 cleaning issue If you get into reloading then you don't have to worry about cleaning the ring left by shooting a lot of 38. I exclusively load in 357 brass. 90%+ are nice easy loads; 158s at about 900 fps. The rest are max 357 loads like 158s at 1500 fps or so. Lot's of fun...

Colorado has caliber and energy limits for rifle and handgun for big game. Rifle: .24 or greater and 1000 lb-ft at 100 yards. Handgun: .24 or greater and 550 lb-ft at 50 yards. Does your state have anything similar? There can't be a 9mm load on the planet that would qualify for handgun...

That's just misleading to say they are "proofed with the same loads." My understanding is they definately aren't for the Ruger only loads. Apparently a few people have already damaged guns trying that but my only source for that info is on boards like this.

F all the way. Bush is the worst president since Harding. Maybe the worst our country has ever had.

I have a 6" GP100 and I like it a lot. The factory grips are comfortable shooting even the hottest loads, at least for me. Mr_Moore mentioned filing the sharp points on his SP101's hammer. I did the same for the GP100's hammer. Just took off the points at the edge of the hammer. Makes...

I'd get a single action .357, probably a Blackhawk. I just got one and it's pretty neat. .357 is what I shoot most of so I might be biased!

My comment wasn't specifically directed at Democrats or republicans. I just feel the country is too racist and, to a lesser degree, sexist for either party to view a single Black female as viable. I guess we'll see in 2008. I'll be pretty suprised if Hillary gets the nomination, too...

Anyone who supports alcohol being legal while having other drugs illegal is, at best, inconsistent. Alcohol is a drug like any other and it is by far the most destructive to society.

Black, female, and single. There is no one way the rebublicans will run her.

Thanks for the quoting tips. Jury nullification is a nice concept. I'm guessing a lot of us here wouldn't be allowed on a jury trying a firearm case. It's unfortunate that most people are apathetic and don't seem to care that government at all levels operates unconstitutionally. The...

Zundfolge, I absolutely have no delusions about what kind of country I live in. Obviously this is no longer a constitutional republic or we wouldn't even be discussing permits to bear arms! Off topic, how do you quote someone in a post? It wasn't obvious to me. I'm using firefox if that...

I'm sure having a "social experiment" on Pearl Street would be entertaining for us. But I kind of don't think it's going to futher the goal of making open carry more accepted if we show up with EBRs and Hitler shirts.

Scottgun, HkOrion fairly well summed up my viewpoint. To reiterate my first comment; I would not get a permit to go to church. I'm not actually a churchgoer but I think that religious freedom is a fundamental right. I chose that as an example because I think no one here would ever accept a...

Zak, thanks for the reply. I did even more searching and I think this is the post you're thinking about. This particular LEO wouldn't hassle but he thinks concealed is much better in an urban area. Reading other posts on open carry it seems like someone needs to make a first step. Some...
