SNS here as well...just stopped by their shop today and picked up 3k bullets. Ryan and crew were awesome to deal with.

I appreciate the info ArchAngelCD!

Another vote for the L.E. Wilson, I love mine.

Thanks muletrain...interested in hearing how they work out for you. I'll double check my Berger book but I believe both Benchmark and Reloader 10x were listed. I can work up loads with those until I come across data for the CFE 223 powder. My new neck bushing will be here tomorrow so...

As the title states, is anyone using CFE 223 paired with 52 grain Match Grade Varmint bullets from Berger in their .223? I've got a few boxes of the 52 grain Bergers that I want to start load development with and was hoping to try out the new Hodgdon CFE 223 powder. I picked up the new Berger...

Thanks Duztoff!

Duztoff - I could really use the .357 brass,I've got a home defense class by GSL coming up and have been having trouble sourcing brass.

Here's an update with my Ahrend Retro Combat grips in Goncalo Alves.

CTGunner - the flames are a special edition that Lew Horton put out. Fitting for a little snubby...epecially when I'm shooing my loads worked up with 2400...she's rather "boomy" and likes to throw fire. :D

A month or so ago I posted pictures of my Lew Horton Special Addition 686+. A couple days ago, my new grips I ordered from Ahrends showed up and man are they nice. They are the round butt Retro Combat grips in Goncalo Avles. Fit and finish is perfect, they feel really nice in hand and look...

Lots of good looking rigs in this thread. I'm glad to see a few rimfires showing up too. Here's my S&W Model 41 - she's a pleasure to look at and even better to shoot!

I'd lean towards one of the Leupold VX-II's in your budget. I've got a 6-18x that I've been using for prairie dog hunting the last couple years. In my mind 6x on the low end is too high but they've got other models that would work better for your setup. You may even be able to get into a VX-III...

Anyone currently using holsters or belts from Lobo gun leather? I've been exchanging emails with Ray for the past couple days and I think I have settled on one of his lined belts and one of his slide style holsters for my SA Sub Compact .40. I was curious if others have use his products and...

Check out Obenauf's. They have a fantastic oil and then leather protectant cream for additional protection. I intially bought the stuff for my leather knife sheaths but have since used it on boots, belts, wallets...basically anything that's leather in my house has got the treatment.

The .41 Mag is my favorite caliber. I to find it easy to shoot, very manageable recoil and a create caliber for hunting. It can be a little more difficult to find factory ammo than say the .44 Mag but it's not impossible and if you reload it's irrelevant anyways. I bought a .44 Mag after I...
