So, most of you already know that I'm addicted to hickock45 videos on youtube - he's seems like a down to earth guy who really enjoys life. Plus, hickock45 is one helluva shot. Well, I really like the Larry Potterfield videos too. He seems like a level headed guy who really knows alot about...

Hi, For people who have actually hunted or backed up someone hunting grizzlies...what caliber did you use to kill your bear? Background: Many threads on these board are based upon - can this kill a bear? The reason, I think, is because bears are the most ferocious predators in North...

Supposedly protected by Congress since 1971, a vocal minority of homeowners are complaining about shotgun noise during waterfowl season. Who would've thought that people who purchase land within hearing distance of an established waterfowl spot would hear shotgun blasts? The debate is in this...

Hi Guys (and lone Gal who may frequent this forum), Are reloading wildcats a natural progression to reloading? Do any of you wildcats lament even starting to go down this road? Besides the initial expense of custom style dies and reforming brass or purchasing limited runs of...

Just like the topic says...what's your favorite 45 acp (preferably 230 grain fmj) 1,000 round bulk manufacturer and where do you order it from? Thus far, I just browse the shelves at local stores and buy what's on sale. Everything has worked well so far so i have really no preference. I am...

So, How many other Hickok45 voyeaurs are out there? I think he's pretty awesome - a modern day John Wayne philosophy with a neat educational slant on just plain old good clean fun videos. Personally I'd like to see his shows on TV weekly, mainly so he could get some cash for his efforts...

Hi, I'm home on leave and had been debating about a new 1911. I have wanted a 38 super for a long time, but each time I caved to a 45acp. Well this time is no exception... So the 45acp two toned (pictures will be pasted with an edit or follow-up post) is termed "Colt model O1980CM Special...

Hi, I'll be home again at the end of this year and was looking to get a 1911 for 2011 in 38 super. I've been reading about them alot online and still have questions that I hope you pistolaros can answer. Right now I was virtually looking at Colt's - the bright stainless custom one, and the...

For most of us - the greatest hurdle for experiencing an African hunt is money. I was once told, a long time ago, that if you have to ask how much something costs then you can't afford it. But, I wonder, if it is possible to save up enough for one African hunting adventure? I'm thinking a...

Any Mark V owners out there? I'm definately getting a 257 weatherby chambered rifle within the next year - I already own 6 boxes of ammo and a set of relaoding dies...so i'm commited to shooting and reloading this particular caliber. I know remington and howa have actions chambered in the...

The speer reloading manual 13 and 14 have the max load of 55 grain spitzers with H335 using a magnum primer at 36 grains. Website info yields 33 grains...kind of strange how it's lower than the max laoding of bullet weights above and below it. Also, the hodgdon manual just calls for large...

Hi, I've purchased a variety of bullets to work up some 22-250 loads. Can I use this data: 45 GR. BAR XBT Hodgdon H335 .224" 2.340" 31.5 3593 41,400 CUP 34.5 3908 48,500 CUP for the barnes tsx 45gr tsx fb? I'm not really familiar with the barnes bullets...they are just...

Hi, So a week or two ago I got the spousal approval for another reloading/shooting project and purchased a Tikka T3 Varmint Rifle in 22-250. The selection of 22-250's within our area was limited...and I had narrowed the final two to a thumbholed stainless Savage (that looks really sweet) and...

All I can say is WOW! My wife bought this book for me a couple of weeks back as well as some other African Hunting books. Last night I started reading it, and finished it in a second sitting today. What a pioneer! Venturing to foreign lands amidst slavers, questionable governments...

Today we picked up our new 1886 takedown in 45-70. Within the box, one can tell by the respective literature that quite a few companies had their hand in getting this gun to the consumer - and I thank everyone of them. (Davidson's, Winchester, Miroku and last but not least Turnbull). Upon...

Hi, Has anyone handled the davidson's 1892? It has a tang safety...does it have the cursed rebounding hammer too? How do you like it? I'm thinking of getting my 1873 and saa a new partner.

Hi, I just took my new 45 colt SAA out shooting last weekend - we put about 100 rounds through it - mild CAS spec reloads. It shot great. When I cleaned my little pony thoroughly tonight (I sprayed her down and wiped her off after shooting) I noticed a fine line maybe 1/8 inch long above...

Hi, I'm relatively new to reloading - thus far mainly reloading 45 long colt/schoefield and 28 gauge shotguns shells. I'm starting to accumulate some 7mm08 rifle brass and would like to start playing with that round next. Right now I have winchester large rifle primers, Speer 130 gr...

After my next deployment I'm contemplating a guided big game trip - for a buffalo. I've searched the net and found some outfitters who have all included prices listed. The one I'm looking at recommends a 375 h and h...the largest rifle I have is a 30 06. So, if I were going to purchase...

Hi, I have several pistols...my highest capacity is a beretta 380 cheetah - it holds 13+1. I don't have a 9mm (parabellum) and was looking at options. Actually I was looking at 38 supers because I have several 1911's and am comfortable with that platform. But in all praticality, I think I...
