    Any one deal with Hornady customer service?

    Over the years, I have dealt with Hornady's customer service more than a few times. They have been great! RCBS and Dillion are top notch as well. Lyman customer service sucks..IMO. Hope this helps.

    Ruger .454 Alaskan for home defense?

    why not? Pick a good hollow point load in 45 colt and shoot it a close range so you know how it shoots. Don't over think the situation.....it's a reliable gun with a proven round. Save the 454 stuff for the field, or forget about it and load hot 45 colt loads with hard cast heavy bullets for the...

    Stopping Power of .45 Compared to 9mm

    As a ICU/ER RN, I've seen quite a few gun shot traumas first hand. I have also seen the days that follow, if initial shooting survived, and the care that goes into the wound and body damage as a whole. When I read these questions, I think of my old friend who is a retired federal agent...he once...

    Critique My Home Defense Setup: Bedroom

    Not bad. Do you have children? Might want to think about the security aspect of this setup with young ones. Do you have a dog? My wife and I have a couple of small dogs (Mini Pinchers).....there is no way that someone could even turn the front door knob without them going nuts and alarming the...

    Handloading CCW Ammo

    JMO-Don't believe handloaded ammo is a good idea. With actual shooting distances being under 15ft a vast majority of the time, I find it hard to believe ( and have yet to hear/read) a tactical or measurable advantage in handloaded ammo for CCW. Having said that, with today's political and...

    Handloading CCW Ammo

    JMO-There are no real advantages to using reloaded ammo for self defense. I believe that we are over thinking this to an extent....again, JMO-there are only disadvantages to carrying reloaded ammo. I have yet to hear of any real advantage to the reloaded ammo. I believe, if we spent more time...

    Need help; I want to get my 1st & ONLY defensive shotgun...

    Gideon- Your original question also stated that this would be strictly for in house use. Something to consider.....Simple is best. If you can't defend yourself in a house with a plain jane shotgun ( ie....18'barrel and bead sight), then maybe we have bigger issues to get around! If you are...
