    Barrel length question....

    Yes and Yes Slug barrels measuring 20-22 inches pretty much deliver best with the optimum internal ballistics of the various makes of slugs. That is with a cylinder bore and rifled sights. If the barrel is rifled, you can run through the different brands of slugs to find what it likes best as...

    Stevens 520

    Stevens 520 Trench gun You may have a modified 520-30 trench gun. I carried one for a couple of years down on the Mexican border as a Customs Patrol Officer. We got a ton of surplus military shotguns and I picked the 520. I believe it was a Browning design that they decided not to market and...

    Moon Clips

    Cheap ammo = wadcutters Just as I sent my last post, I realized I forgot to add that you don't want to be shooting those 9mms in your wheelgun. Mr. Watson explained it great. It ain't good or safe. Also, the projectile in 9mms is .355 I believe which means you can't expect great accuracy if...

    Who makes the most durable, most reliable handgun scope?

    Thanks for the opinions Jackal, you're right if opinions are limited to those who have only used one brand and there is nothing wrong with that info either because thats what consumer feedback is all about. I'm going to switch my Leupold 2x off the TC .357 Herrett and give it a whirl on the...

    Who makes the most durable, most reliable handgun scope?

    OK all you opinionators, who makes the best fixed power (2x) handgun scope for the mega-revolvers and other hand cannons. I started a thread a few days ago about breaking a Burris on my 460 S&W Mag and am willing to take the "stuff happens" approach and replace it. But, I'm also shooting a...

    Should I buy a S&W-686 or a Colt King Cobra ?

    Hex: I'm going to put in my 2 cents here without consideration of us talking about a Ford vs. Chevrolet decision. If you're going to really shoot that shooter a lot, you might consider a criteria I apply for buying what I'm going to use (not look at or plink around with): Look first at...

    Burris scope on a 460 S&W Magnum

    That's what he said!! I agree, Steelhead. Having never had anything but good luck with Burris scopes, off it goes to Colorado tomorrow. I've never fired a 480 Ruger. How's the recoil and muzzle flash? By chance have you shot a 460? If so how do you think the two cartidges compare? I...

    Burris scope on a 460 S&W Magnum

    Well, I guess it was bound to happen eventually. I had my first Burris scope go bad. Broke the crosshairs in a Burris 2X Handgun Scope with Posi-Lock. It was strapped on (with 3 rings no less) to my 460 shooting Hornady factory loads. I called Burris and, of course, they said just send it...
