    Whats the most expensive gun you brought

    Ruger Super Blackhawk 44 Magnum. I very foolishly offered to trade a guy for it, offering to fix his computer. Took me 42 hours. Ouch! And before you say "Ain't computers just a couple of hundred bucks?", back then a cheap desktop was about $4,000.

    Indoor Range: Fun Things To Try?

    I'd imagine 110 would be way better than excellent, since the highest score you can get with four rounds is 40... or am I missing something?

    Northeastshooters.com down?

    Funny, I came over here to ask exactly the same question. Haven't been able to get on northeastshooters for a couple of days now. Being in the middle of a group buy makes that a real PITA.

    45 lever

    All of the Cowboy Action Shooters that I know who started with a Winchester 94 have gotten rid of them, as the Winchester 94 action design does not handle pistol caliber rounds well. It's prone to jamming and failures to feed. Of all the lever action problems I've seen at CAS matches (and I've...

    Sooper Stoopid levergun question

    I have had a Rossi and several Marlins. My Rossi went back to the factory twice, being locked up at half cock both times. The second time it came back smooth as glass and very reliable. All of my Marlins have been great guns and the one I still have has had about 12,000 rounds thru it. The...

    What Caliber are you carrying

    Lots of different 1911s over the past 40 years, always 45ACP, always in Condition 1 (cocked and locked), with an extra mag. Right now it's a lightweight Officer's Model (Kimber Compact CDP II).

    Compact Reloading setup, opinions please

    I mounted a Dillon 650 on one end and a Dillon SL900 on the other end of a piece of 3/4" plywood, secured to a B&D Workmate with the little orange clamp stop thingies. With a bag of shot between the two, there's plenty of weight to provide all the leverage you need, and the whole thing takes up...

    .22LR with Restrike Capability for Dry Fire Practice?

    Almost all manufacturers caution against dry firing rimfire weapons. Without a round in the chamber, the firing pin may contact the edge of the chamber and peen it over, causing feed, ignition, and/or extraction problems. (Don't ask me how I know this.) It pays to keep an empty, fired case in...

    A-Zoom snap caps, what is the benefit?

    IMHO, they are definitely a good investment. They work great in revolvers, and can be used in autoloaders, bolt guns, lever actions, etc, by grinding or filing off a small section of the rim where the extractor grabs it. When you need to remove it, just use a cleaning rod to knock it out. I have...

    Cost comparison of reloading 2000 rounds of .45 Colt and .38 special for CAS.

    1858, I think you'll find that by loading mild 'cowboy' loads, you'll get way more than 10 reloads per case. Some of my Starline 45 Colt cases have been loaded 50 times and show no signs of impending failure. That's loading 200 gr bullets to 625 FPS in a 5 1/2" Vaquero - a fairly mild 45 load...
