Okay, thanks. Have you tried any of those loads with jacketed? I see lots of moderate loads with cast/lead but hard to find with jacketed and I certainly don't want to assume they're the same of course. I've been searching all over the internet and most jacketed loads are with 110 or 2400 and...

Hello from rainy Ohio! I have a .475 Linebaugh and will be starting to load for it using jacketed 325 and 400 gr (both Speer and Hornady). Part of the reason for loading jacketed is my indoor range here won't allow cast and while I'll shoot outdoors some, I want to be able to shoot there as...

Hello from Ohio! Hey, quick question for anyone with access to a new Redhawk. In two separate places now (Cabelas and a large local store owned by Vance's here in Columbus) I've looked at Redhawks and the front sight blade has been slightly canted to the right. Certainly not so bad that you...

I agree that you probably can't go wrong with either pistol. I've had a stainless MK II bull barrel for 20+ years and it's been a nail driver from Day 1. I love it. I can't speak for the Mk. IIIs but I'm not a fan of their looks. I'd say it's almost totally a personal choice; pick which one...

I just picked up a very nice #1 in .45-70--nice wood and bluing and it's in great shape overall and I think was very well cared for (also not shot very much, I don't think). However, I've noticed a slight rattling in the receiver when I shake it a bit (for example, shaking it side to side...

Part of the reason I was asking the question originally was because if I do end up making some subsonic loads for a suppressor, I was thinking heavier bullets and lower velocity...I was wondering if under those conditions the shorter barrel would potentially not stabilize the bullet. Not really...

Cool calculator, Caliper...and thanks everybody for the quick replies.

Okay, thanks. I knew I was overthinking it but it was an interesting question to me. I just wanted to make sure I wouldn't be sacrificing anything much with the shorter barrel except velocity (which in this gun isn't a huge drop anyway). I'll assume a 168 gr. will stabilize fine in a 1:10...

Hey folks! I searched and didn't see information related to this so thought I'd post... I'm looking at a Ruger Gunsite Scout, and barrel length options are 16.5" and 18" (twist rate in both barrels is 1:10). I'm trying to decide on which barrel for the GSR. I will likely suppress it...

Para, I think there are big differences in using it in CCW and HD roles. I've got a 4-inch GP100 which I absolutely love, but I shudder at the thought of touching that thing off in the middle of the night when I've been awakened suddenly from a deep sleep. Granted, the XDM .40 (with Ranger 155...

Thanks, guys, I appreciate it. I've had a long week so I'm going to take tomorrow (Friday) off and have a nice day of visiting a few of these places...a road trip to Shelby and maybe visit of few of these pawn shops. Should be a nice day after a looooong week! :) Take care.

Scallop, Black Wing had one a few days ago I believe, and my guess is it's still there if you want to give them a call.

Doc: Did you mean Sportsmen's Den? Is that the same place? It's also in Shelby so I'm wondering...thanks, I've been meaning to head up to Shelby but haven't had the chance. I'll give them a call. Mark, I want to make sure I understand...you're talking simply about the first two digits of...

Good Evening. I searched on THR and didn't see anything related to this question, so here goes: I live in the Columbus OH area and would like to get opinions on some good places to look for rifles. More specifically, I'm looking to pick up a Marlin 1895 in .45-70 but from what I've read...

I'd go with the Loaded Champion. I bought one used (my first used gun) and love it. Shoots great, well made, etc.

EasyG: As I said in my original post, I've always been a .4x guy...been shooting my full house .44 mag reloads for 20+ years, so I'm not stranger to recoil and it doesn't bother me. But the 9 did intrigue me, and for concealed carry, with good ammo, I think it's a solid choice. As for...

Anyone out there have a G23C that can speak to the porting's recoil reduction? I love the .40, but also really liked the 9mm when I shot it (always been a .4+ guy). The 23C seems like it might be a nice compromise...so my two questions are as follows: 1) On a scale of 1-10, if the G19 is a...

Echo, like the other posters I've got a Loaded SS Champion and love it. I bought mine used (only gun I've bought used) a month or so ago and it's easy to carry, feels great, and shoots really well. I love mine! Get it; you won't be sorry.

Folks: Okay, I'm a long-time .45, .357, .44 and .40 guy...never had much use for the 9mm and will STILL keep my XDM .40 as my home defense gun (with Ranger ammo)...BUT I recently got my CCW and have been thinking through weapons. Was planning on carrying a 4" SS Champion (shoots straight as...

+1, Hatterasguy...I agree.
