    Why Don't You Just Paint "I have guns inside" on the side of it?

    Expensive mistake!

    Don't know. But a good habit to have is to only have ONE powder on the bench at a time and empty the hopper after every reloading session.

    Starline brass??

    gosh... thought they did: .32-20 .38-40 .38-55 .40-65 .44-40 .45-100 .45-70 .45-90 .50-110 .50-70 .50-90 Do wish they'd make .40-90BN... hate sending off to that outfit in Australia for it... and waiting months for them to make it... And .375Win brass would be a...

    Which would you rather carry?

    I'm sure glad that so many have switched to the 9mm... as it means there's more .45 on the shelf for me...

    Do I want a Remington?

    I've read the title to this thread several times... before reading the replies given... and each time, I swear the answer has been... NO. I don't want a Remington. Had one, hated it... nothing wrong with the gun, but... being a fan, and long shooter of the Colt SAA, it felt weird every time I...

    Hawken rifle?

    1. As said above, generally pull the back trigger to "set" the front; which is usually adjustable, from a few ounces to a couple lbs. Unset my trigger is ~7-½ lbs, set it's a couple of ounces. 2. I hope so, I started w/a TC Hawken and quickly went to a more traditional gun. 1-66 twist &...

    Latest BP project

    Archie, good job! Main difference is the original used balloon-head cases, vs modern solid web cases. Airspace allows the pressure wave to move faster, slamming against the bavk of the bullet. If it hits before pressure has built to the point the case has expanded to release the bullet...

    870 and 3 gun

    So another question on slugs and 870s. I'm wanting to get started, but the local place (150 miles away!), also shoots slugs mixed with shot... I have a 26" 'SKEET' barrel on my 870. I emailed customer service at Remington, but never received an answer. Does anyone know where "Skeet" falls...

    What's The Smallest Capacity That You're Comfortable With?

    Carrying zero is plenty with the right mindset. Carrying a 50 round drum with a Tommygun is too few in the wrong circumstances. Whatever I'm carrying will be comfortable to wear, hold and shoot. Frankly, whether it's 5, 6 or 30, they're just numbers. It's tactics and willingness that will...

    1911 picture thread...let's see them!

    Interarms Silver Cup with a pair of Hogue grips Beat up EDC Combat Commander with Pachmyer (Don't ya just love the custom finish)? And the "winner is"... me, won this Taylor & Sons at a match... after a little judicious ramp & trigger work it's a reliable piece for either carry or...

    SASS whimp loads?

    AZP, Maybe you should actually go out to a match before you pass judgement. What might LOOK and SOUND like a light load, might not be such in person. Cameras have some pretty impressive noise blanketing capability. Most of the top shooters are using pistol loads in the 700-800fps range...

    Why aren't you a cowboy action shooter?

    Interesting thread. Sad there is so much misinformation and misconceptions. But, truthfully, very little has changed in the 20 years since I helped form the 2nd oldest cowboy action club in TX. The requirements are simple, all lead bullets, pistols 1000fps, rilfes <1400 fps (pistol-length...

    Uberti Henry Rifle with magazine damage!

    Thanks, that's actually just posed for a bullet seatin' primer I did for another forum. That Lee Handloader usually only gets used for decappin' my BP brass... either the .45Colt, .40-90SBN. I load on a pair of Dillon 550Bs, Mec 600s, RCBS Rockchucker or Jr.II. Just depends on what I'm...

    Black Powder Substitutes and Users Deserve Respect

    Hmmm..... Nothing I could say would convince anyone of changing their ways... so I won't bother.

    Uberti Henry Rifle with magazine damage!

    Well, my only comment is: There are meplats that meet the "flat nose" description and then there are those that are adequate to meet the need for a flat nose. Here's a pic of 3 different boolits I use in my .45 Colt handguns and leverguns: The left two rounds are the same boolit, just...

    What Handgun Do You Keep Coming Back To?

    I know there are other guns, but I seem to always come back to my Colt SAAs. And now that I got it back after being rebuilt by Bill Oglesby, why leave?

    Problems with Cimarron model P

    No, at worst a new hammer is needed. The cam on the hammer may not be ground correctly. Something that's often overlooked as problematic. Return it to Cimarron direct. They are pretty well know in CAS circles for standing behind their product.
