    Are we kidding ourselves with these 7 round guns?

    I feel confident with a snubbie at close range. Semi auto pistols with high capacity magazines, Maybe it's just an indicator of how many people are poor shots.

    45/70 low power loads

    Would you consider the Hornady 45/70 FTX LEVERevolution 325GR. To be a low power load? When does a load cross the trapdoor low power load level to the next? The manufacturer doesn't provide any info. Powder used or how much used. I have a few boxes of...

    Looks like Cerebus killed off H&R1871 Firearms

    I don't think much about clips or magazines. Maybe magazine sounds too much like what i read when i'm sitting down in my library. I feel bad hearing about anyone losing a job,or a factory closing down.Maybe H@R should have made all the rifles interchange on the same platform.All of them,So a...

    Looks like Cerebus killed off H&R1871 Firearms

    Basically,People are poor shots and want something that has a clip and has multiple shot abilities to make up for their poor shooting abilities. The H@R is a perfectly good weapon if you can shoot well. Over the years i just keep meeting all kinds of people who are horrible shooters. So this...

    iTS ALL GONE?

    Yes,im not in the loop I have read much wonderful information from some 45/70 Junkies here. I figured black powder might be cheaper or easier to find. The extra show from it is great also.But it isn't cheaper. I considered Trail Boss because i read about people using in in 45/70 and in 38...

    Boast about your location.

    In the UP. Do you buy a tag for deer hunting? And how much? Is the UP much different than the rest of MI.? Laws and attitudes about hunting? I was thinking its remoteness would be a benefit in that way.

    iTS ALL GONE?

    I looked for IMR Trail Boss. Cabelas and Bass pro shop didn't have it listed and didn't even know what it is. 4198 Seemed like another good choice.Not for sale or listed. So is this the new normal? Can either one be shipped? Yes,Im kind of new to reloading. I did see triple seven for...

    Advice on a pocket 2" revolver

    I thought the 38 special +p To be a bit abusive. For me the 38 special feels a lot more powerful than a 9mm. Just how i felt about it. I also find the snubbie a lot more accurate than all the stuff i read about before i shot one. A lot of it,Is the person. I have met a lot of people who...

    The "best" shot you've ever taken?

    I was sitting in a lawn chair shooting at sticks about fifty feet away. My dad walks up and says hey shoot that crow.It was about a hundred yards away and at my 10.I held the pellet gun in front of me arms extended out straight and hit the crow with one shot.Not aiming. It pivoted downward and...

    What happened?

    So for years i could buy 22 ammo at will. Now? Is there so many more plinkers now? Seems like time for someone to produce more. Powder. Is their really that many more people reloading.Compared to say 15 years ago? Out of curiosity,i have been considering reloading. People talk about...

    Why can't gun companies make money?

    People are different.Maybe attract younger buyers with a game console? Built in phone?Ha-Ha. Maybe a sign of the times. Lack of money for hunting gun purchases. I wish someone would put more 22 ammo out there.

    Looks like Cerebus killed off H&R1871 Firearms

    This gives me a bid vibe. It's more than just H@R. They are fine rifles and do many hunters a good job. It also may just be another sign of how our economy is really doing. A very sad and bad thing.

    Shotgun or AR15 for all-purpose

    The shotgun.So many different types of shells you can use.I would stock up on shells now. Buckshot,number six and slugs. Your AR is ok. A 22 is good to have.They sure are a pain to buy bullets for right now. A pistol of some sort. 38 special and up. With these four you would be doing good...

    Opinion on survival-coyote gun and caliber

    Whatever you have. Or use coyotes as target practice for your deer rifle. H@R has a 357. I really don't see the problem with carrying any size rifle on an ATV. Slugs in a shotgun? A 243 would be a good caliber also. I use a 45/70. I shoot almost everything with it.

    Boast about your location.

    Well thanks for the reply's. Wisconsin and Michigan. Property taxes appear insane to me. Northern AZ where i live. Elk and deer,some cats. Its very dry and to the point of my town running out of water.You can't have life without water. The fishing is limited. Housing is pricey. It appears as...
