    suppressor inconsistency with subsonic rounds?

    But these loads shoot fine without the suppressor?

    Mandatory Safety Training, yes or no?

    More government is never a good idea. We are suppressed by so many restrictions, regulations, mandates, etc... until nothing we do is legal and everything we do is a liability with lawyers and insurance companies that it's ridiculous. We are responsible for our own actions. Period. Our...

    How to slug the bore of a 5-groove revolver (SP101)

    Measure the outside diameter with the bullet sideways in the caliper to get the largest diameter, then measure from in the groove to the top of the land on the bullet. Subtract that from the first measurement and it will tell you how deep the grooves are. Multiply that by 2 and subtract that...

    Hoarding is getting to me!

    Do you put up firewood before winter hits? Do you get fixings for Christmas dinner before Christmas eve? How about buying a set of tires before yours get so thin they pop? You see a need arising in the future and you prepare for it. If you didn't, it's not the fault of the people who did.

    1903 Springfield - Range report and action screw issues

    If it sheared that screw, the action is likely moving too much and the screw is taking the brunt of the recoil. Without the action screwed in place, can you move it back and forth in the stock?

    "I'm _____, and I'm a Gun Owner" Commercials

    To keep from immediately alienating the folks who can't relate to ARs and the like, show multiple people doing their things and at the end have several screen shots where they all say "My name is ____" My name is _______" "My name is ____" "And I'm a responsible gun owner" "I'm a gun owner"...

    Parents Say I am Not Welcome Thanksgiving Because I have Guns.. What To Do??

    They gave you a tough pill to swallow. Now you have to decide whether to be hurt by the fact that they would rather not see you than let you come over with your gun and the principles that go along with it; or to just decide to let go of it and go anyway. If you hold your ground, they may...

    Drop-Point 4” with File work

    Wow, that's some really nice work. One day when I have less irons in the fire, or more time to tend the irons I have, I want to do some knife making. I've made a few in the past and enjoyed it. Good job with that one, I'd be really proud to have made it!

    Would like to start a business.

    "Any advice will be of great help." Last sentence of the OP. Plenty of advice, most of it pretty sound, followed. I know a lot of this isn't what you were hoping to hear scarecrow... and you might not care to listen to it and think there's a way around every obstacle. Well, you're right...

    223 and 308 powder metering

    I'll chime in for H335. It meters well and works fine in both calibers. I believe it was pretty much designed for .223. Works in many different calibers.

    Husband bought 4 year old a gun

    Could be a touchy subject, but I agree that getting rid of the gun may not solve the issue. If he's hard headed and stubborn like me (and I assume so, since he got the gun anyway), then getting rid of it might make it worse, since he may then view this as a challenge or battle of the wills, and...

    Would like to start a business.

    When I was 18, I did what I said I was going to do no matter who told me not to. Sometimes I showed them. Sometimes they showed me. I learned a lot, some of it the hard way. I have my own business now and have since 1998. If I were to open a firearm related business today, here's what I...

    Meat butchering/processing tips

    This is what I do: I dress and wash the deer, a saw the spine in half longways with a sawsall while the deer is hanging. I leave the shoulder and ribcage intact but cut the hindquarters off. Put one half of the deer in an ice chest, the other in another, or all in one if you have one big...

    Thinking about lead 45acp

    .45 velocities are nowhere near enough to worry about leading. If you size the bullets properly and lube, you shouldn't get leading. I use 230 grain roundnose over 5 grains of bullseye in 45acp with great accuracy and little to no leading, sized at .452. With this load I regularly hit paper...

    12yo girl shoots home intruder

    Apparently the girl was trained pretty well in my opinion. She made all the right decisions as per the results. Common sense and calm decisiveness trumps training IMO because the devil is in the details.

    If you had only one powder ?

    I've become a fan of HS-6 lately, and it works in all the calibers mentioned. It burns clean too.

    Why no CC at gun shows ?

    I am not obligated by law to comply, and I am not obligated by law to disclose. Some folks may be, and then they have to factor that into their decision making. If you go to a place where there is a sign stating that your underwear must be on backwards, but no-one is going to check and...

    Why no CC at gun shows ?

    I am amazed at how freely some of us just volunteer away our constitutional rights. Some of these posts translate to me as: -Since a sign is posted to not carry loaded weapons, it is now the law. -You are not to trust yourself with a well concealed weapon. -Law enforcement officers are...

    Why no CC at gun shows ?

    Wow Win73, glad the guy's hand was in the way and your son is alright! My position is that concealed is concealed. If you can't handle that in every circumstance except during an immediate clear threat to life, then clear and check the weapon or leave it at home. Stupidity unfortunately has...
