    Social stigma

    Those are the “workers” in classical Marxism, comrade. Today’s Marxists, of Critical Race Theory, Systemic Racism, and Leadership of the Elite want the proletariat and anyone they deem a “nationalist” disarmed. Try getting in touch with the 21st Century, tovarisch.

    Social stigma

    It is one of the pillars of the Marxists’ doctrine and their media allies: create social stigma / denormalize / instill fear around gun owners and gun ownership. This increases the acceptance for and legitimacy of actions to curtail the rights of Americans to keep and bear arms.

    Like the sound of a lumpy big block

    I haven’t the foggiest idea. I’ve never seen them. Had to look them up on the website. Write up says “These bullets were designed for maximum penetration. However, they also cut nice holes in paper…”

    On the hunt for an American SxS

    The tab between the barrels locking at the top with a rounded crossbolt is called a Greener crossbolt or Greener Action, after the WW Greener & Sons patent. Makes for a stronger action and is often found on live pigeon guns, for example. Greener btw is still in business making guns in the...

    James Yeager on Shotguns

    Cannot bear the messenger. At all. Find it hard to believe he has anything useful to say about anything.

    Absolute worst automatic pistol design in history

    Ding-ding-ding! Winner. Hands down. You can't believe it was ever made let alone sold.

    loading the 4570 govt 500 grain bullet

    Heatedly debated. The other end of that spectrum is people not only using only large pistol primers but some using a thin sheet of newspaper over the flash hole to further diminish the force of the primer. The theory being that black powder ignites so readily that to get a good clean burn...

    Like the sound of a lumpy big block

    @Pat Riot - this is my second batch for testing. First batch was full bore for cast and standard 45 Colt, just over 950 fps. I have some loaded down to what may be as little as 800 fps and I suspect accuracy will improve at lower velocity. @shoebox1.1 these are are going in my recently...

    Ruger LCP max 380acp

    Gives pause for thought and makes me question my views on the 380 acp.

    Like the sound of a lumpy big block

    Softish. Perfect in my view. Not sure what will stand up to 250 grs of BHN 12 at just shy of 1000 fps in any event. But they are mainly for paper.

    Home made 38 special shot shells!

    Not hard of hearing or reading just yet, so the caps lock is a bit shouty, innit. Happily, the matter is resolved by @.308 Norma trying it and showing us the 357 case even sized to close on an overshot card won’t fit. Tant pis. The extra capacity would have been nice.

    Like the sound of a lumpy big block

    These give me a grin just like the sound of a lumpy big block idling does. I know. The magic expanding bullets, that are only available in 9mm, make the teeny-weeny europellet a devastating death-ray and that is why the FBI uses it, not because that’s as much as little ladies and persons of...

    Home made 38 special shot shells!

    Both cartridges headspace on the rim. And you seem to be using some strange numbers for case length. 38 Spl is 1.155” (and COAL is 1.55”) while for 357 Mag, case length is 1.29”. So, a 357 case, without bullet, should indeed chamber in a 38 special.

    11 or 13 rounds .380 = is that a game changer ?

    You can have a 79 grs .375 ball at speed, or a heavy conical going very slow indeed. As noted above, Elmer Keith writes of his discussions with two Civil War combat vets who much preferred the 79 grs round ball, which based on a full cyl of powder was like in the 800 - 850 FPS range. If that was...

    Ruger American Magpul Hunter 6.5CM vs 308?

    Well, on the one hand, six. On the other hand, half a dozen… 308 Win may be somewhat more readily available but 6.5cm is sufficiently popular that it will be close behind in production.

    Home made 38 special shot shells!

    That’s the way to do it. #9 shot would deliver more shot for the ranges at which revolver shot shells are effective, but if 7.5 is what you have got, it’ll do. 15 feet is about maximum effective range for a revolver shot shell and if that’s your likely shooting range, 7.5 may even be a better...

    Best 6.5 for Hunting?

    223 Remington or 375 H&H? Virtually the same question as asked. Grendel has a little less reach than the others. 6.5x55, 260, 6.5 Creed etc., all more or less the same. 6.5 PRC and the Magna are different beasties and they provide more reach than all but a few people can make ethical kills...

    11 or 13 rounds .380 = is that a game changer ?

    I am of the “no substitute for cubic inches” school and a 38 Spl snub is as small as I will ever go, which isn’t really that far off a healthy .380 Having said that, there was a recent thread on the Judge/Governor/Public Defender revolvers in which it’s fans asserted the mighty punch of the 410...

    Mossberg Marine Trapper 30-30 Rifle Gray Laminate Model 464

    I have the Marinecoat finish on my Mossberg Patriot 375 Ruger. Attractive and seems very durable.
