    .45acp Carbine - Effective Range?

    .45 Super was a thing about 15 years ago. Starline still makes .45 Super head stamped brass. I have never tried loading +P brass, and have only used new Super brass, so I could not tell you if they are strong enough. SAAMI specs for .45 Super is 28,000 psi. The powders I use for .45...

    .45acp Carbine - Effective Range?

    I have a JR Carbine chambered in .45 ACP that I routinely shoot handloaded .45 Super out of. A 230 grain Sierra Power jacket leaves the muzzle at 1550 FPS, and I can nail targets at 100, 150, and 200 yards routinely. This is one of my favorite long guns to shoot as there is zero recoil...

    hunting with Ruger SP101

    Hogue grip. A must. It changed the gun handling incredibly. As for ammo? Handloaded 200 gr. Hardcast over AA#9. Good luck.

    Target loads for 45 Colt, SAA clone

    For mid-range .45 Colt loads heavier than the standard 8.5 of Unique under a 255, I highly recommend AA#7 as the next powder in your quest, as opposed to either of the 4227's... YMMV...

    My Yugo is priceless.

    SKS Accuracy... Dang...

    My Yugo SKS is awesomely accurate at 100 yards using Fiocchi FMJ's. I can hold a 5" group on an 8" paper plate at that distance. That being said, it has the full EBR treatment and the original stock is hanging out in my closet.

    Its official. My 300$ Curio is more accurate than my AR

    I believe this. My Yugo SKS is scary accurate.

    Ammo Shortage: Where are the imports?

    I know. All my Enfields love Privi Partizan ammo. I last saw some at a gun show last summer.

    What is your most priceless/never sell gun?

    1953 Winchester Model 94 in 30-30 that was my Dad's. It has had less than 500 rounds through it. It has serious sentimental value as I killed my 1st deer with it.

    .308 shopping

    I have a DPMS LR308 AP4, and it is a tack driver. I am thoroughly impressed with the accuracy and the low recoil of the weapon. I was lucky enough to pick up some Magpul magazines for it before November 6th...

    Looking for 45Colt data

    What SlamFire1 said... Unique is excellent for 250 gr. bullets in 45 Colt.

    45 colt

    My opinion is diametrically opposite that. I think the 45 Colt is an excellent lever gun caliber. I shoot a lot of 45 Colt in a Puma 454, and I find it to be a very accurate round, and no dirtier to the Puma, than 30-30 is in my 94. Also, if you raise the pressure a little in your loads, you do...

    Deer hunting with a .45ACP.......Which Ammo?

    In a Ruger P90, yes all that is needed to shoot .45 Super is a Wolff 16 lb. recoil spring. Full house loads are quite "vigorous" though, and if you want to play in this realm, it is best to handload. My choice for what you are after is using a hardcast 250gr. RNFP normally loaded in .45 Colt...

    TX Wild Boar and 308's

    My feral pig rifle is a Puma 454. More than enough for a 300 lb hog.

    Best gun never made

    Ruger PC45 Carbine OR Ruger #3 in 45-70 with a 28" barrel... IMHO... :D

    For those who dislike Nugent

    Most liberals speak from emotion. I think Ted backing our cause with emotion is commendable. Yes, he might alienate the stuffed shirt left, but he does influence the less radical of the lefties in a good way, IMHO. It takes all kinds in a cause, and we should all agree to disagree and...
