    What's the most strange/uncommon caliber you've owned/fired?

    I have a .223 Remington and a .22 Long Rifle. I'm pretty sure both are extremely rare, as I have not had any luck finding ammo lately.

    Fun Thread: Describe a Mundane Gun as a Panicked Journalist Would

    The 9mm Parabellum. Even the name tells you it was made for a singular purpose. War.

    Gun Ban Needed To Prevent Ex-Cops /Military From Murdering People With Guns

    They are trying to set the narrative because there is a gun control angle, but not the one they would like to emphasize. If you lived in the neighborhood where the killer is on the run would you rather be armed with an AR or a sturdy skillet as you sit in your house and wait for the cops to...

    75gr HPBT in .223 AR

    I am trying to work up a load for some 75gr HPBT bullets I bought a while back. I have plenty of H335 on hand, but not a lot of Varget, so am going to go with the 335. I have looked at my Lyman and Speer manuals, and also the Hogdon and Sierra website data. Basically, the acceptable charges...

    Sheriff Terry Meketa, El Paso County CO

    El Paso County SD is a quality unit, in large part because of Sheriff Maketa. They make the Colorado Springs PD look like the Keystone Cops.

    The Main Event - Obama @ 11:55 ET.

    meh. Read the whole thing. Main point is his attempt to envigorate congress and mobilize the people to support further legislation. Only immediate action I read was: Increased funding for SROs and COP program Directing the CDC to study gun violence. DoJ report on lost and stolen...

    The Main Event - Obama @ 11:55 ET.

    Is any of this mandate? On page two of the main section of the .pdf is says: "We should" then the next line is: "Require background checks for all gun sales" I don't see how this changes existing law or the application of existing law.

    Background Checks a Failed Paradigm: Prohibited Possession Works

    ^^^ This. I like it. Not putting any additional restrictions on law-abiding citizens, but more effectively enforcing existing laws. This is an idea that needs more attention, in my opinion.

    Things you hear at the LGS......

    Sure, I got one. Guy at the LGS near my father in law was trying to sell him on a Sig P238 over the P938. Told us that the .380 was basically the same amount of power as a 9mm, since they were "both 9mms". Uh, OK........ So by that logic a .22 short and a .22-250 are basically the same power...

    Your turn if you haven't yet.

    This is not a discussion that lends itself to a 2500 character limit, but I did my best at a rough cut: Mr. President, I am concerned that the recent tragedy in Newtown, Connecticut will be used by those with an agenda against firearm ownership to push legislation that restricts the exercise...

    Compound Bow (maybe crossbow)

    Another vote for the Brute X. I bought the RTS package for under $500. I have only shot it three sessions and I can get an apple sized group out to 40 yards. That's a testament to the equipment, not the shooter. I have not shot any other bow except on rare occasions years ago.

    New Hawken .50 cal

    Thanks to all for the help and info! I bagged my first Kansas whitetail (a doe) last weekend with my Hawken. I used a 320 grain MaxiBall over 80 grains of Pyrodex. Sitting shot from 33 yards, and now she is in the freezer. Pulled the trigger about 20 minutes into legal shooting hours, before...

    New Hawken .50 cal

    I have never owned a blackpowder piece, but last night at a going away party for work the guys presented me with a Traditions Hawken Woodsmen side lock, .50 cal, 28" barrel. Beautiful gun, and I would really like to use it for deer this fall. It has what look to be great sights, with an...

    9mm: 115gr LRN 3.6gr Bullseye

    Thanks for all the replies. I too am thinking he may have to bump up to around 4.0gr BE to get a reliable feed. Option 2 would be a shift to a 125gr LRN, probably from MBC.
