    Interesting waiting period discussion in Gettysburg

    Reminds me of the Colt Museum that used to be in Gettysburg. People were told they were buying blank-firing replicas. They came to Reddings to purchase the "blanks." The only trouble was that they had bought a replica alright, with a percussion cap, powder and ball they had a live pistol...

    Whats the best lie you had a gun seller tell you

    Here in Gettysburg we used to have the Colt Museum. They were selling repro black powder guns to the tourists as "blank" guns. The museum has been closed for years now.

    Why not the 25-06???

    I certainly like the .25-06. I have mine in a single-shot Remington 40XB Rangemaster.

    .357 148gr HBWCs

    For a typical .38 Special revolver, you don't have to worry so much about seating depth. It only has to be seated flush for the semi-automatic pistols chambered for this round, like the Smith & Wesson Model 52. Just load them and shoot them! :)

    Gun Run A Good Thing Right?

    It may not be such a good thing if the people buying all these guns haven't a clue about how to use them and refuse to learn! Then that would be an accident just waiting to happen! :eek:

    Lead Sled for Accuracy Testing?

    Unless you buy a full-fledged machine rest, anything you use will have to be moved back into position for the next shot! That's just a fact of life.

    I found the case separators to be dusty too. I just fish out the cases with my hand. No dust!

    .357 148gr HBWCs

    Did you ever think of buying two (or more) loading manuals? Speer does list loads for the .357 Magnum and the hollow base wadcutters. You shouldn't depend on the web (except maybe for the bullet and/or powder manufacturers web sites) for loading data. Too many of us with bad memories and even...

    Coverage of Olympic Shooting Events

    The basketball dream team is made up of professional players! I don't know if that restriction is worth much these days! By the way, does anyone remember that the late actor Robert Stack was an olympic shotgunner?

    I just got Lyman's 49th reloading manual . . .

    I am trying to find out if the Lyman #49 has loading data for the 6mm/250 Savage cartridge. It is not the 6mm International! If it is listed in there I would be over joyed to purchase one. :D

    357/38 reloading questions

    If you have invested in a reloading manual (preferably at least two) that should answer most of your questions. Not having a SP101 snubnose I can't help you with that one (however I do have a GP100 with four inch barrel.)

    can i preprime cases and store them?

    If the primed cases are stored in a cool, dry place it would not harm them in any way! Remington sells preprimed 6mm BR brass and I'm sure that various dealers do not sell them off the shelf very rapidly! :D
