The left round is a brand new one, the center is the one that got over-seated, and the right is a snap-cap I have. I spot checked the height of a few of the other rounds from the same box, and here are the heights: New: 3.22cm +/- .03cm Snap cap:3.02cm Depressed round:2.90 cm as you can...

{P. Plainsman I keep vacillating between the Remington 158 LSWCHP+P and the Speer 135 Gold Dot for carry in my Taurus 85 Ultralite. Looking at this, I think I'm going to standardize on the Rem stuff, even though availability is a pain. (Why can't Midway stock it!? )} Is this it...

Application Submitted I've owned a 686 no dash 6 in, sn: AAF 68XX, for a long time. Bought new at a Rod & Gun Club in Giessen Germany many years ago when they first came out (at least to us in Germany).I left Germany in late 1982 so I think I bought it a year or so before I PCS'd...

Model 60-14 NIB/Case $525 +tax, etc.:eek:

If I get an email from the daughter every 5 days or so I am happy. If I don't hear some thing in 10 days or so I get antsie:banghead: . She's a Blackhawk crew chief. She's doing better now. Even if it's just a "I'm ok" email note, that is better than nothing.

Ah, Armadillo... Got about a 15 pounder a week ago at just after midnight. Ruger 10/22. Velocitor w/maglight (it was handy). Putting holes all over the yard. My old dog was stepping in them. Headshot. Flipped and flopped like I've never seen. I never saw an animal do a double reverse with a...

I was shooting (scoped AR15 at 200 yards, standing) at the local range here and a fella watching asked me if I worked for the local po-po. He thought I should. Lucky shot at a stick of tannerite. I am also a Latter-day Saint. Great conversation starter! I consider myself an average...

Let me add my welcome back to so many others.... My daughter's national guard unit, an Army AVN Bn (helicopters), just replaced a Marine unit south of Bagdad at a local air base. She's been there about a month now. Glad to have you back. See to your family and then, when you have the chance...

My first patch 7th Radio Research Field Station - Ramasun Station 74-75, 05H

Now thats what I'm talking about I really like the Beretta RX4 but an email I received from them stated that it wasn't going to be produced... :eek: Maybe if we bought some stock or emailed them enough.... Make it and we will buy! I have a 92 FS and a CX4. I would buy another Beretta...

Speaking of Rifles, Ruger & Stock Ownership I'd like to see Ruger compete and produce a semi auto in .308. Box magazine. 20 round minimum. There had been a shortage of semi auto's in 308 until recently. The demand driven I think by the "presumed" shortfall of the 5.56 in combat. RRA will have...

Nothing can be said.... Prayers. We mourn together.

USAA is one of the finest organizations I've ever had the pleasure of dealing with. My car loans, insurance (car, life, & home), IRA, checking/savings accounts and Mastercard are through them. As with the gun insurance, the benefits rock. :) +1 All in with USAA. Auto, Home, Brokerage...

In Church?? Possibly.

The 45 ACP model is due out in October of this year. I too just bought a Storm in 9mm. What a beaut. $549 plus tax at a gun show in Florida. Had one stovepipe with a new magazine (a kid was shooting it at the time too). Changed the bolt over for southpaw use. A FUN carbine to shoot. A great...
