I'd like to try this combo, and not having much luck finding data. I've got 95 grain plated bullets. If you have applicable load data, I would appreciate your sharing :)

Investigating a possible job opportunity in Portland, so I'd like to know what the scene is like there for gun nuts. I know about the CCW laws. Too bad the reciprocity isn't better, but otherwise seems reasonable. I would like to know if there are any unusually good or unusually bad gun laws...

Link: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=92190783 Piece was on NPR's "Day to Day." Revealing about the nanny state anti-gun culture. Audio is supposed to be posted by 3pm today. My reply:

I have a box of Korean surplus ammo that is reputed to be corrosive. I'd like to start using it and save the brass for reloading, but I have visions of my poor Garand corroding away to nothing. Can anyone recommend a cleaning procedure after shooting corrosive ammo in a Garand? How soon...

I got busy for almost two years and didn't do any reloading. I had some Sierra 69gr .223 bullets that I meant to try and just got around to loading and shooting some this week. I liked them, and went to the Midway website to get some more, and yow! The bullets were $11/box when I bought them two...

Man, that was a long reloading hiatus. I started working on a .223 target load for NRA High Power in June of 2006. Processed about a thousand cases, loaded up 10 rounds to test. I had always used 75gr Hornadys in the past, but this time wanted to compare them to the 69gr Sierras. The 10 "test...

I have been wanting to take the NRA RSO course for two years. I got a list from the NRA and called people on it. Everyone either did not return calls, or else was not willing to teach the class unless I could get together a large group. If you are certified to teach the RSO course, or know...

I've had a gun vault bedside safe (lockbox more accurately I guess) for a few years now. After purchasing it I saw posts here about some concerns with this company, (1) a design weakness that would disable opening the safe via the keypad (2) poor customer service. Well, the design flaw caught...

Got my first doe this year, and I am noticing that the ground meat renders a lot more fat when you cook it and has a much greasier taste. The butcher shop where I get my deer processed will add suet to the ground meat if you request it, but I always ask that they don't. Being so lean is the...

I had an under charge hand load in a 6" smith and wesson .38/357 revolver - the bullet is about halfway down the pipe. Can anyone recommend a good gunsmith to fix this in the Indianapolis area? Preferably North side?

Nolo's thread about up-loading .45 ACP got me thinking about the different measures people use as surrogates for the effectiveness of a handgun round in wounding/incapacitating an assailant. It seems to me that there are several factors that play in to this. There are also a number of...

Suggestions for grips for a blued, plain jane Colt 1911. Range gun; sometimes wears a Marvel .22 upper. I tend to prefer "classy" rather than tacti-cool or high-tech looks. Who makes nice wood grips for 1911s? I just put some Nills on my SIG 232 and love them, but I'd like to avoid another...

All my previous reading had already had me skeptical, but a hunting experience yesterday really made me think twice about the concept of "stopping power" as regards self defense situations. I shot a deer from about 40 yards with a .50 cal muzzle loader. The projectile was a .45 caliber 250...

Realized something strange while hunting yesterday. I am left-eye, right hand dominant. I shoot rifles left handed and pistols right handed. When I am shooting pistols, the actual trigger pull is a conscious decision - I am making the decision to pull the trigger at that moment, I pull it...

Intended Purpose: I needed a carry setup for suit-and-tie occasions. My regular method of fanny pack carry would be an even worse fashion catastrophe wearing a suit and tie. By excluding other methods that had not worked for me, I wound up deciding to look at shoulder holsters. K.L. Null SMZ...

We moved from one IN county to another this year. Two years ago, I got my CCW in Indianapolis, which was essentially a big-city bureaucratic paperwork process. IN is a shall-issue state. My wife has "been meaning to" get her CCW but just got around to it this year when we moved to a smaller...

Below is the text of an email I sent to a community health organization that has been putting up "anti violence" posters in physicians' offices locally ----------------------------------------------------------------- Ms. XXX, I saw a flyer entitled "101 ways to stop violence"...

Other than the obvious resemblance to CZ's, I didn't know much about this gun - my wife inherited it from her father's estate. General description: The pistol is finished in some kind of matte grey-colored stuff. Whatever the finish is, it seems to be fairly durable: it isn't wearing off...

This is a different relative than HoosierCheetah who posts here from time to time - not the same guy. This "other relative" has been married about a year and a half. He has been increasingly prone to violent drunken rages. He threatens to kill his wife and himself. He has gotten guns out of...

Councilwoman Angela Mansfield has proposed a change to the code which would ban any kind of shooting within Marion County, including: 1) established shooting ranges (could be closed down on any whim by the sheriff) 2) air guns, airsoft, and slingshots 3) lawful hunting Copy of the...
