    Striker Fired: What am I Missing?

    Juat speaking for myself, I sold my Glock 23 only because of the trigger. I don't know if I could find the "wall" or any other thing. I bought a S&P because I didn't hate the trigger. After a few years of using a DA revolver as a bedside tool, because I felt safer with that if I should need...

    How strong is Marlin 45-70?

    Correct me if I am wrong but I think thee 1916 Spandau was a small ring M98 action.

    44 Magnum loads for my Super Redhawk Alaskan?

    I have had good luck with HS-6 powder and 240 gr. bullet. I have acheived almost the same velocity with a max load of HS-6 as I get with a max load of H110. My revolver is a Ruger Redhawk with a 5.5" barrel. I have tested min. to max loads of HS-6 with a velocity range from 1019 fps to...

    Gun show loophole?

    It's getting close to election time and Biden has to show he is doing something to satisfy his fans. This is what politicions do best, appear to be doing something while actually doing nothing.

    Offer received from local dealer for gun collection.

    Let me say I would buy all those guns at those prices, even if I did not want them. I would not sleep at night afterwards. Please find yourself a different buyer.

    Please define "brush gun" for me...???

    I think the title "brush" gun should be thought of as the opposite of "open country" gun. I think peope have been trying to "find" a definition for the term brush gun. As compared to a long barrel, long range, the brush gun has a shorter barrel for manuvering in thick forest as compared to...

    Tell me a little about .35Whelen.

    Single shot disappointment

    Awhile ago I bought a CVA Scout in 444M to replace a 336-444 I had sold. The first shots thru it was with 3 different bullets using 2 different powders. All loads hit between .800" and 1.200" at 100 yds. I can't get my favorite 444M powder so I was trying to find a replacement. Except for...

    Brass polishing...I am confused

    Just a question from someone that doesn't use anything but media in my tumbler to clean/polish brass. I thought it was important that the brass sticks to the chamber walls a little during firing. Ackely seemed to think so. Why would I want to leave polish on the walls of my brass?

    Time to start loading 7.62x39

    I like CFE BLK for my 7.62x39 reloads. I use the CCI 34 primers, Sierra 125 SP bullets (.311" dia). My loads are near Max. The rife is a Yugo SKS, without grenade launcher.

    Does Anyone Here Still Carry or Shoot DA/SA?

    Favorite Magnum Pistol Powder

    Working with a 357 Ruger security six with a 4" barrel and 158 bullets. I have found that HS-6 gives me within 40 f/s that H110 does. I do think my Ruger is giving me slower velocities than most with max loads of H110. When I had 44 mag handguns I really liked H110 for max loads and Universal...

    How many here have killed a chronograph?

    Never killed one but I did wound one once. It was "running" at the time. The leg on the tripod holding it up decided to telescope in just at the time I fired a 165 grain bullet from my 300 Savage. It hit the metal post holding the screen. Broke the inside housing and of course bent the rod...

    Who hunts with a single-shot rifle?

    Going to try for the first time this year. Got a fair deal on a CVA Scout in 444 Marlin. Been working up a load with Speer 240 and 270 Deep Curl bullets. The CVA is a little heaver than I was hoping for but it will do.

    Why has the military used round-nosed bullets?

    In 1966, in basic we were told the reason for FMJ is that it takes two solders to carry a wounded solder off the field. It takes no one to carry a dead solder. Also a FMJ has the potential to pass thru one man and wound a second.

    What's your favorite caliber?

    In pistol cartridges that would be the .40 SW.

    30-30 160 grain ftx

    I think the 160 FTX sits deeper into the case than the std. 170 gr bullet giving you less powder space to begin with. Because the bullet is pointed and set to the same COL as the flat nose bullet the base sits deeper in the case.

    Have suppressor laws changed recently?

    I too would like to know.
