I recently acquired a new Howa Mini1500 in 6.5G.
Drew first blood on Sunday afternoon.
Now it’s the “DillrKillr”
Hit a full grown Armadillo in the right hind quarter and blew him into 4 large pieces in a spray of blood.
Load was a 27.4gr of IMR8208 under a 95gr Hornady Vmax from the 22” bbl...
I managed to snag a Howa Mini in 6.5Grendel for under 4 Benjamin.
I need a scope base. Best price seems like $19 from Legacy Int.
Anyone familiar with whether Weaver makes bases for the mini?
While perusing primer prices and availability, I discovered an advertisement by Academy Sports for CCI Small Rifle primers for $6.99/100. A decent price given the current environment.
What surprised me though was 1. FREE SHIPPING and 2. NO HAZMAT FEE !
The only caveat however is that you’re...
Is that pistol held by Chinese “Seal” an air pistol?
Looks like some of the air pistols imported 30ys ago?

It looks like some sort of under lever air pistol
I’ve got a G2C I acquired recently as sort of a range toy, but have become fond of.
The trigger pull, right handed, has a “catch” approximately half way through the d/a “like” pull.
(I understand that it’s the trigger safety mechanism that is causing it.)
Has anyone here dealt with that? Is it...
I was reading that certain M1911’s in 10mm are being shipped with . 45mags and the importers are saying that 10mm in .45mags is OK!
Specifically, the Taylor &Co. 10mm’s.
My only experience with the 10mm was 30yrs ago with the Mod 1006 S&W. The mags for it are unobtanium and the 5-I had worth as...
After obtaining a Tisas 1911 .45 (black finish “Duty”). I decided to get a 9mm and elected to get the OD green M1911-A2 U.S. GI version.
I’m disappointed!
The .45 came with 2-magazines and has functioned flawlessly. It readily feeds my cast Lee 200gr SWC and is near match accurate.
The 9mm...
All the online (YouTube) data only tests the 100,115gr HP’s
What is the consensus on the Flat Nose FMJ?
With the .380 and .32acp, consensus is use FMJ.
How well will the 100gr .312” FNFMJ perform?
It’s $25/50. Vs $26/20 and some what more available.
Anybody tried Accurate #11FS in a .30Carbine?
Grafs has it in 1lb containers for $28.
Looks to be nearly identical to WC297, which is Win296/H110 with a flash suppressant.
Does anyone know what size speed loader the Taurus 856 takes?
I’ve handled a friends. Located one I can get at a very attractive price.
Opinions if you’ve shot one.
Appears to be similar to Colt D-frame.
I’m contemplating getting another 10mm Glock. I had one back in the early ‘90’s, but wasn’t real keen on it. Several reasons, but one was the size of the frame.
How much difference is there between the “Short Frame” grip and regular frame. ie: where is the difference and is it significant?
Seems I took a 10yr nap. The 165gr bullet in the .40s&w became a go-to choice.
I was around when the .40 became a “thing”. Shot prototypes of both Glock and S&W’s. Owned a couple of 10’s, too. I’ve been fond of the 155’s, preferring them over the 180’s. Less fond of the 135’s. 200’s just too...
I have aquired a “distressed” S&W M66-2.
It needs both the flat headed and yoke retaining side plate screws.
Both Brownells, and MidwayUSA have them listed as out of stock, unavailable, and discontinued.
Any suggested source?
S&W is “difficult” to deal with on parts...
I’m considering getting one of the three listed pistols to use in the NRA PPC “Distinguished stock production semi-auto” Match. This involves shooting to 50yds. Precision/accuracy is paramount.
Which will be capable of best groups at 25-50yds?
Assuming accurate ammo...
I recently obtained an S&W Pro Series M1911 in 9mm.
I had high hopes for an accurate 1911 to use in some PPC matches I shoot in.
Taking the gun to the range and running some known accurate ammo through it proved a great disappointment. 18shot groups at 25yds gave a nice cluster, but 6-8 shouts...
I’ve got a Rem Mod7 in .260Rem.
It won’t stabilize a 129gr or heavier high b.c. bullet.
Allegedly it has a 1/10” twist barrel (early production CDL), but actually measured its 1/11”.
I’d like to have a current production 1/9” twist barrel installed.
Anyone with experience sending something...
I was looking at various .257" bullets on MidwayUSA's web site.
They show the b.c. For the 120gr Speer at .480. This is somewhat higher than the Berger 115gr VLD (.465), or Sierra 117gr GK (.410) or 117gr Hornady btspt (.391) or 117gr SST at .465.
Anybody shot them at distance to verify this...
