    Winchester 70

    Trying to locate a rear sight for a Winchester Model 70 made in 1970. Winchester no longer carries this nor does Jack First who they referred me to. Does anyone know a source for this rear sight whether OME or after market? Thanks, Byron

    327 Federal and 231

    I have a Ruger Single Seven. My bullet is a 100 grain Hornady XTP. I wish to use Winchester 231. I would like the velocity to be about 1200 FPS. Any suggestions? Also would a standard small pistol primer be adequate o should I go to a small pistol primer?

    10/22 Take down w/flash suppressor

    I have purchased the 10/22 takedown with flash suppressor.Without the factory installed flash suppressor, the barrel would be 14 1/2 inches,with suppressor 16 1/2 inches. What would the velocity be for a 22 40 grain high velocity from the 14 1/2 inche barrel? From an 18" it would be about 1250 fps.

    CCI makes both a 40 grain gamepoint and a 40 grain HP. What is the difference in use for these two? It would seem almost the same result for both.

    Recently acqiured the above ammunition and wrote Speer. Their reply was interesting as I ask what the velocity was from a rifle. Byron: the Short Barrel 22 WMR is made for a 1 and 7/8's barrel and a velocity of 1050 fps. The rifle will give you ~ 1875 fps and provide poor terminal...

    My Glock 42

    I purchased one today and went to the range.The pistol is a liitle stiff at first but broke in quickly. I fire a box of Atlanta Arms 380 95 grain and at 7 yards,it was point of aim point of point of impact. Little recoil with the Atlanta Arms or Hornady critical defense. very pleased with it.

    Sig Sauer P238

    I purchased one recently and found it to be a good pocket pistol for me.I called Sig to ask of the ammo and +P is prohibited.I am using Hornady CD.He said it was necessary to repace the springs once a year or every 500 rounds.This is not a plinker but do the springs wear that quickly on this gun?
