    The Good old Walker

    Well, this Is the last time ..Yes, you may contact Sturm and Ruger. I'm not certain, but I BELIEVE their address is, or was, at Lacey Place. (Probably located in Conn.) Anyway, if you will call them, you will certainly find that they were in the running hot and heavy for the contract offered by...

    The Good old Walker

    THAT's what I was trying to say. Try loading that big assed Walker with 60 (or hell, 62 grains) grains of powder behind the .457 ball. THEN try loading the .451 in front of 62 grains of powder. Your speed (velocity) will change, as will your knock down power. Just like that other person said in...

    AR-15 what is it good for?

    When the United State's Goverment put in their request for a 'new' rifle, "This is about the size of round we want and this is what we want it to be able to do" the only two serious contenders were Colt and Ruger. (Sturm and Ruger) Ruger's version, the 'Mini-14' was the best by far, completely...

    The Good old Walker

    A .357 IS a very powerful round with good penetration, sir. However, it absolutely DOES NOT have the power of a well loaded .44 Hagnum. Shoot an animal with a .357 (which is also if I might add, a very inaccurate round. The .44 Special is one of the most accurate revolver rounds ever conjured...

    The Good old Walker

    If any of ya'll remember the 'Dirty Harry' movies with Clint Eastwood, (I'vd never seen any of them) the handgun he carried was the Smith and Wesson Model 29, .44 Mag...The Walker, with a full powder charge, is more powerful than the Model 29, and THAT, my good friends, is a well documented and...

    What is a "6 o'clock hold"?

    Imagine the target (bull's eye, either able or dog targets, whatever) squirrel, 'coon, whatever, as being the face of a clock. Start out (ranging in, sighting in, whatever you wish to call it) with the tip of your front blade sight at 6:00 on the 'clock's face'. Squeeze off a round. Check point...

    GUNBELTS...Gotta have something to hold up the holster

    I not too awful long ago bought a 'tooled leather gunbelt' from Cabela's for about $43.00 I think. It's got the 'hang low' slit in the side so that you can unsnap the back flap of the holster and run it through and re-snap it in place. I don't like it. You can't shift or slide the holster around...

    Have you ever had a gun fail completely?

    Just buy yourselves a good blackpowder handgun. Keep it clean and load it properly, and you won't ever have any of these problems that I've been sitting here reading and laughing about! I shoot blackpowder. (well, actually blackpowder substitute Triple Seven; 3f (fffg) to be exact) On my oldest...

    What are these people refering to? (Magnums)

    Maybe this will help to give you some insight. It's something that most of you already know better than I, but it will be food for thought for some people who will read this sooner or later. Understand, I am getting on up in years now, (still get around just fine, thank you very much) and with...

    Most fun completely useless handgun?

    Most fun completely useless handgun?

    Big boom? Lot's of smoke? Enough concussion to cave in your shootin partner's lungs every time you pull the trigger?..No question, what your're looking for is the Colt Walker .44 loaded up to the max with 70 grains of powder.(Triple Seven 3f will certainly supply plenty of it all, including...

    Insurgent Snipers?

    Years ago in Vietnam (3rd Force Recon) I was propped up against some sand bags out side of my hooch drinking some coffee, and I watched some of my buddies dinging gooks on an old red clay looking hill at ranges exceeding 800 meters. They were getting some hits to. Their weapons? That piece of...

    Why the prejudice?

    to davo I understand your point, and it is well taken. I guess I just love BP and like doing most of my own work. I know I used a Marlin lever action .45-70 for a few years, and the ammunition you buy off of the shelf (ie Remington and Peters) states on the box '.45-70 US govt. For all rifles'...

    .44 mag Alaskan=silly

    .44 mags. I lived in Alaska during the '80's. (way back up in there) I was always told that the smallest thing one should carry for grizziies was a 30-06 with a heavy 350 grain plus load. I have killed two grizzlies (full grown) in my life, but I was using a Remington 300 Win. Mag. (bolt action...

    Anyone ever cleaned their guns with coffee?

    coca cola and rust Coca Cola is very good for cleaning rust off of rifles. We used to sneak around and use it in the Marines. First time I'vd ever heard about it removing bloodstains, but I sure wouldn't doubt it...

    Why the prejudice?

    me again I just had to get back in here one more time. Now, please understand one thing. I don't give a rat's rectum what any of you carry, but don't some of ya'll think you might be over doing it just a wee bit? How much do you think it takes to stop a man? Like that other gentleman said...
