    Hornady .50 Great Plains bullets

    I just killed a doe with one yesterday here in northern Indiana. Shot in the neck and only took a few steps. Another deer I shot at 200 yards through the lungs and exited out the far rear quarter. Only hunting bullet I've used in my 50 Thompson Hawken for several years. 385 grain hollowpoint...

    Ruger convertible 45colt/45acp

    Thanks for the responses guys. This might sound really stupid, but I'm trying to lose weight. In my gun safe that is. Several years ago I reluctantly bought the Redhawk in 45 colt. I say reluctantly because at the time I really wanted a 4", but they only made the 5.5". Now they only come in 4"...

    Ruger convertible 45colt/45acp

    Anyone have a Ruger convertible in 45? If so, how do you like it, and what length of barrel? I no longer have my Redhawk in 45 Colt nor 1911 so I need a new device to shoot the ammo and components up that I have. One way of downsizing and re-organizing.

    sabot slugs

    Maybe someone can answer this. I know "they" say not to use sabot slugs in a smoothbore, but has anyone tried it? The M-1 Abrams uses a 120mm smooth bore and sabot rounds to destroy other tanks at ranges of 5 miles or more. Why can't I shoot sabots out of my smoothbore shotgun barrel(cyl bore)?

    gun safe performance

    I was wondering how many of you have experienced a burgulary or fire at home, and if so, did your safe protect your firearms? What type of safe was it? Not necessarily the brand, but the construction and locking mechanisms. Was it fastened to walls or floor? I'm curious to know what...

    new safe versus old safe

    I have an old pro-steel safe that I bought in the early eighties, before they were Browning Pro-Steel. I have been considering buying a new more modern safe. I was wondering if the newer safes were better than the older models in terms of technology and generation. Have any of you been the...

    How About "Tactical" Lever Actions?

    I just bought a Marlin 1894C in 357 magnum. My HD and carry gun has been a S&W M19 2". For in the house I would stick to the 19 just for close quarters and light manipulation. I'm old school when it comes to separation of light and gun. For exterior of the property I would opt for the carbine. I...

    Midway USA acting funny?

    I think they're updating their website. I had the same problems, but today I ordered a bullet mould and gas checks. Last night(2-10) they were out of stock. I checked today and different page and "available".

    Compare and Contrast the M44 Mosin to the Steyr M95

    I have a steyr 95 carbine and handload using 16.o grains of 2400 and either cast bullets or pulled military bullets. I have several hundred rounds for it but all I shoot are the handloads. Lee recommends putting .338 bullets through a .330 sizing die to load hunting loads. I believe the military...
