Shiloh claims their rifle will handle the same loads as the Ruger #1. I have a Marlin 1895 , Shiloh sharps and a Taylor's sharps all used in cowboy aciton shooting. The nice thing is its a great round to reload you can go from light cowboy loads to real thumpers. The first time I took out my...

We see this often in cowboy action shooting. Its usually due to reloads with no powder, just the primer fires and is enough to force the bullet into the barrel. Determine which end it is closer to and drive it in that direction. Either an aluminum rod or brass work well. We see it in pistols as...

The Oxygen itself is not flammable. Anyone who has used a acetylene torch set can tell you. You cannot light Oxygen by itself and the Oxygen used in torches is much more pure from what I have heard. The problem is Oxygen aids combustion, if sheets or clothing become saturated with Oxygen they...

Do you know what Vales alias is? In C.A.S. everyone takes an alias when they join S.A.S.S (single action shooting society) a lot of us only know each other by their alias. You should come out and watch a shoot sometime its great fun and the people are very freindly. There's one this Sunday in...

I'm in N.W. Indiana also, West of Valpo. You do any C.A.S. shooting? I go to both Michigan City and Chesterton to shoot. If you haven't tried you should give it a try, great fun and lots of great people.

The lake Co. Indiana Sheriff Roy Daminguez was on a local radio show this afternoon taking questions. I thought it would be interesting to ask his opinion on concealed carry, so I called in. He stated he felt it was the peoples right to carry and fully supported the second amendment. It's nice...

I have a Armalite AR50 its a great rifle very well made. The one thing you have to remember are the other cost of shootin a 50bmg. The cos t of ammo is high and that goes with out saying. You will also need a good scope. I put a cheap scope on mine and it didn't last 50 rounds. The recoil of...

I live in Indiana and work in Chiacgo and I've seen dead coyotes along the Highway in the Chicago city limits. We can hear them howl some nights within 1/4 mile of the house. I've heard of them taking dogs right out of peoples yards. We have 2 dogs a little Yorkie and a large Cocker mix, I...

I've been trying since yesterday and can't get on either. I just received my SASS membership papers and wanted to put my member number in my profile.

How about a segment on 50 bmg's?

I have an Armalite AR 50 and it's not bad at all to shoot. The big thing is the muzzle blast it puts out quite a concussion. You don't want anyone standing too close on either side of you. I have a Marlin 45/70 and it kicks a lot worse.

I have an Armalite AR50 and it's not bad at all to shoot. The biggest thing is the muzzle blast it really shakes things up. you don't want anyone standing on either side of you. I also have a marlin 45/70 and it kicks a lot harder.

Last gun show I went to I didn't think I was going to buy anything and ended up walking out with an Armalite AR50. I had been looking for one for some time but didn't expect to find one at the show.

Tremors 1 was great, tremors 2 was good, but termors 3 was lame. Tremors 3 was ok until they came to the part where the things started to fly. I won't tell you how they fly because you may not have seen the movie, but it's pretty stupid.
