    who uses herco

    Since I said this very recently on another forum I might as well say it again: Unique's ugly unwanted freckled redheaded step brother; aka Flaming Dirt's cousin. In my experience it works better with lead than Unique when you are pushing it harder especially with heavier bullets. When there...

    .32 h&r

    XTP's in 32 don't expand for --deleted-- at SAAMI spec velocities. The problem is that the 32 H&R was developed with pressures for a H&R revolver. Your S&W will handle well more than 21k psi. That said.... 115 gr. data from "reputable" sources aka powder manufacturers and distributors is...

    M1 Carbine Mags that work

    SPOT ON advice. There is a reason that the M-2 mag catch was part of the M-2 conversions from the military. The 30 round magazine was part of the M-2 conversion. They put the extra "finger on the mag catch and the extra lug on the magazine because the bend in the 30 round magazine makes the...

    Herco for 44 mag w/ Keith's and XTP's

    Herco...Unique's unwanted neglected redheaded freckled ugly cousin. In my experience it works better than Unique in cast loads. Can't find data???? use Unique data and work up from there; you can put a bit more in and still be in safe pressures. It does like to be driven a bit harder than...

    How much gun powder can you have and not have a problem with home insurance?

    A detached garage is not part of the residence. It is a U1 occupancy....therefore house = 20 lbs. and garage = 20 lbs. with it not being stored in an approved construction container. The box of described construction is not even a NFPA class 2 portable indoor magazine. If you were to...

    6.5x55 Swede Ammunition Questions.

    A 200 lb. buck isn't going to run off after a good hit from any 140 gr. soft point bullet on the market. I have dropped mule deer with hand loaded Remington, Hornady, and Sierra 140 gr. pills, as well as factory Prvi 140 gr. soft points. I hunt a bucks only area and pass on forks (the minimum...

    My Ruger Mark 1 got soaked

    No it was developed in 1953 by the Rocket Chemical Company in San Diego to prevent corrosion on the skin of Atlas Missiles. In 1958 it was offered to the general public.....in1969 the company changed its name to WD-40. The chemist that perfected the formula was Norm Larsen. WD-40 Using...

    Alcohol and Home Defense

    And the last two posts oversimplify that fact that without a breathalyzer reading, urinalysis, or blood test they won't know what your BAC is let alone any other mitigating pharmaceuticals or recreational drugs that are in your system. Simply saying the person smelled of alcohol and exhibited...

    Mossberg 930 Jam-O-Matic

    A friend of mine was having the same problem with his. He was running Winchester 1 oz. 3 1/4 dram loads. When loaded with 1 1/8 oz 3 1/4 dram loads or heavier it works fine. I know first hand as the second time it went out I had looked it over and then witnessed the gun having issues. I ran...

    The Federal Assault Weapons Ban made it out of committee. It is time to start writing

    I won't bother...... I have Senator's Boxer and Feinstein; we know I would just be wasting stamps. Their records are clear and there is no way to change their minds on this subject.

    California Gun Confiscation and Mental health

    Nope, sorry that is not what the law says. In 5150 an assessment needs to be performed. WIC 5151. If the facility for 72-hour treatment and evaluation admits the person, it may detain him or her for evaluation and treatment for a period not to exceed 72 hours. Key words: If the facility...

    California Gun Confiscation and Mental health

    IANAL I have been present several times when a 5150 hold has been put on some one. I have twice assumed massive CIVIL liability in the course of my job when I provided the LEO's the PC necessary to invoke 5150 on suicidal people. For your reading pleasure California Welfare and Institutions...

    Effective range for .32ACP?

    You can see the difference between stopping power and killing power in the following news story from my local rag. Note; this story is about a 22 but it is still relevant. You can find documented stories over the last 20 years that show successes and failures with almost any handgun caliber...

    What Was the Powder Used During Early Vietnam?

    WC846. Later, the tolerances for lots of WC846 were divided and the faster stuff became WC844...the slower stuff remained WC846. This happened in 1970. Win 748 is not and never was BLC-2. Contact Hodgdon's and they will tell you the same thing.
