    .22lr CCI minimag cheaper than Thunderbolt at Wallmart??

    Yeah it was an amazing thing to see .22lr in stock! It's the first time in more than a year I've been able to buy some. I'm still weirded out by how much they wanted for thunderbolt though. I do think that by next fall the shortage will be over. Also do note I did not take friends back...

    steel case ammo ever broke your pistol?

    Soft steel has been used for bullet jackets for a long time. A lot of the time there is a small amount of copper coating over the steel jacket. Steel jacket bullets has been proven to reduce barrel life. Not so much on hard chrome barrels though. Although it dose still happen just not as bad...

    .22lr CCI minimag cheaper than Thunderbolt at Wallmart??

    I hit the lottery a few days ago. Wallmart had 100r boxes of mini-mags for $7.47 and Thunderbolt 50r boxes for $5.45 a box!?? I got my three boxes of mini-mag and am happy. But why the heck were cruddy Thunderbolts more expensive than mini-mags? Have I crossed over into a parallel universe? Is...

    Oh man .455 Webley's are sooo cool. Thinking about buying a chopped cylinder one for Christmas. I'll just run .45 auto rim in it. Great video!

    What Caliber for Enfield No1 Mk3*

    Yeah I used to think people who put the wrong caliber ammo in any gun were just stupid. Then "I" had an off day and found myself trying to shoot .40S&W out of my .45 1911. I was lucky it did not work! Doh! I'm just glad it all turned out good for you. Have fun with that new gun. .303 brit...

    Let ther rumor mongering begin :(

    No he's not! I payed $650 for one today! It was a sweet deal! As was that $450 Nagant revolver I bought too! The seller even threw in the original oil with the gun. Apparently the last owner was a little old lady who only shot them once a week on Sunday.

    Accuracy difference .357 vs G34

    For fun I'd go with the 357 smith or Ruger. For SD I'd go for the G21.

    Glock Generations

    Just handling a gun dose little to let you know how it will feel when you shoot it. You need to shoot them! The older glock 9mm's are good. Find a nice used one and put new springs in it. Good to go!

    What Caliber for Enfield No1 Mk3*

    I'm thinking severe head space issue. Only a skilled smith can find out the truth though. Good luck and keep us posted. R

    Rossi 357 lever action with reloads

    My 16' barrel Rossi m92 would shoot my 158g .38 lead round nose flat point rounds fine. It also fed any other 357 and 38 rounds I had laying around. Make up some dummy rounds and take them to the shop and make sure they feel before you buy. My m92 was rough as hell inside but ran fine. Some...

    Bought new AK Opap, found this muzzle damage. Opinions wanted.

    Hummm??? Better picture would help. I'd let a smith look at it in person. Then return it depending on what they say. Also it's a 7.62x39ak don't expect great accuracy or a fine fit/finish. R

    Uberti Top Break in .38 reviews?

    I've been having a blast shooting .38 target loads recently. Cheap to load and fun to shoot! I really like top breaks. I'd look for an old Webley but they are just so spendy and so are the components. Thinking about ponying up for a Uberti Top Break in .38. Not sure they are worth the money...

    Leading problem with Taurus Tracker .38/357 loads.

    I traded the m92 for the Tracker. Also a little broke right now and powder is hard to find. Besides I need to use up that old bottle of Unique.

    Leading problem with Taurus Tracker .38/357 loads.

    Yeah thanks for the input. I may just haft to deal with the leading until I use up all my Unique. Maybe 400-600 rounds left. By then I hope to find some HP-38/Win231 to use. Also want to start loading .45acp and 9mm. R

    9mm pistol for one hand shooting? G17 orG34

    Now be nice guys. Pretend we are all armed and talking face to face. I'm just going to haft to handle them and see what one I like better. They only thing I can figure the 34 has over the 17 is a little more velocity and the longer sight radius. Both are very big pluses to me. I don't...

    Leading problem with Taurus Tracker .38/357 loads.

    Ok thanks folks. I will put an order in with them next time I order bullets. Actually next time I get payed. Haft to get used to the whole back-order-Obama thing. Will let you know how my 4.6g .38 loads work out. Loaded 100 rounds of that load this evening.

    Leading problem with Taurus Tracker .38/357 loads.

    Ah there we go. I was thinking the bullets might be too hard for light loads. Do you guys know any commercial manufactures that produce the softer bullets for light loads?

    Leading problem with Taurus Tracker .38/357 loads.

    I'll try some 4.5G .38's and scene I actually found a box of primers to buy today. I'll also try the suggested .357 load.
