    Looking for fun in .32cal

    I shoot an old S&W .32 Long Hand Ejector. Also a 1903 Colt .32 auto. And a pair of Colt Police Positives that shoot .32 Long. All 4 are great fun, and accurate, to boot.

    What are some unpopular opinions you have about guns?

    I don't think that Mosin Nagants are worth talking about. Never liked them, even when they were selling for $9.95 apiece. (Admittedly, they did show the mighty Wehrmacht what's what, when it came to ground combat.) Clumsy safeties, short stubby bolt handles that are hard to manipulate, poor...

    Have you ever owned a "pretty" gun that just didn't shoot right?

    A couple of like-new Walther P1s, and a new Ruger Vaquero stainless .357. Didn't screw around with them...just dumped them.

    a few unexpected items at a auction,one trapdoor 45-70

    I thought you guys were saying "raft builders," when you were saying 'Rafter bidders.' Not being a trapdoor fan, I had visions of 10 or 20 trapdoors bound together side by side, making rafts out of them.

    $170 Spanish Mauser???

    Spanish 1893 The one I had was marked "7.52," for some strange reason. The bore was fine, but the stock was sorry. It had multiple cracks and splits in it. The lower band was loose, and the wings on the front sight were crushed in, like maybe a truck had run over it. I replaced the front...

    Questions

    You younger guys starting up reloading are lucky to have forums like this one. I began reloading in 1967, and there was no one to ask questions to. These boards are great. It used to come down to writing letters and then waiting 2-3 weeks for an answer. Nowdays, answers with pictures--great!!:)

    Tumbler: brass going around in circles and not cascading - what to do?

    Fill it 75-80% full of walnut, and you will have no problems. At least that is how my old Lyman works.

    Can you recommend a powder?

    Bullseye Bullseye meters well, shoots well in the .45ACP.

    Thoughts on 45.acp Revolvers

    Had a 25-2 and sadly, sold it. Still have a Colt 1917 and a Smith 625-2. The smartest thing that I ever did was deep-six those half-moon clips and go with auto rim brass. They are fun to shoot.

    Gadsden Flag Tribute

    "Don't Tread on Me" I once knew a first-class boatswain's mate that had that tattooed on his forearm.

    Anyone anyone used a browning bar rifle?

    BAR I had two of them, both Grade II. One was in .243, bought it new in 1967. It was never a tack-driver, and after having a wounded buck get away from me, I dumped it. Always missed the rifle, though, and a few years later I found the same rifle in .308. Boy, that thing was a shooter. And...
