I have owned both. I sold the LCP and bought a BG380, and miss the LCP sometimes. The LCP was totally reliable, which seems to be the general consensus. The BG is good, but had a few reliability problems that a trip back to S&W hopefully fixed. This also seems to be the general...

In response #9 above I explained how this might be used. I never claimed this was anything except a way to see the general power levels of various pistol cartridges, and how they stack up to each other. I repeat, GENERAL. I have many interests and hobbies, but for some reason, gun...

Guys. Take a deep breath. This chart and post aren't about the debate between velocity and weight. It has been done to death. It's not about bullet placement and expansion and penetration. Very important stuff, but this chart doesn't claim to address that. It's not about nitpicking...

I have been an enthusiastic student of external ballistics for many years. I am currently evaluating and adapting my handgun choices, and, once again, am deep into looking at the performance of various handgun rounds. I put together a graph in Excel where I have plotted the bullet weight vs...

I think about it like this. A serious martial artist probably feels safe in almost any situation, knowing that he could defend himself under most circumstances with just his brains and bare hands. In the rock/scissors/paper hierarchy of the dangerous world out there, 22 LR beats Bare Hands. So...

Hi, Neil. Thanks for inquiring. I sent you an email. David

Thanks for the suggestions, so far. I'm pretty comfortable drawing up a lease and liability waiver, and has insurance arranged. I like the article that ZeroJunk refers me to, and may use part of that lease agreement for my own. My main challenge is getting qualified people to commit to this...

I own 250 acres of land that the taxes are killing me on (New York!). I don't hunt anymore- just lost interest in it. But I appreciate hunters and am still a gun enthusiast. The land hasn't been hunted in probably 40 years, unless someone poached it, which is doubtful, since it has very...

ArmedLiberal Was this it? http://www.corneredcat.com/TOC.aspx#Kids Hey- That's it! Thanks! David

I saw a web site maybe a year ago which gave a very detailed step-by-step method for gun-proofing kids. It was a long read, but seemed to be very well thought out. It wasn't just a list of safety rules, but more of a program you would work through with your kid over a period of time which...

Thanks for the responses, everyone. It looks like I'll just have to look around for a bit. Cochise- I may take you up on your offer. I'm going to search my basement one more time looking for mine. What sort of condition is your in? David

I'm looking for the old Lyman Orange Crusher single stage press. I had one years ago that I can't seem to find. Probably loaned it to a friend and since forgot about both it and the friend. I want another just because I'm familiar with it. I figured these things would be all over the place-...

Good points, again. The M1 Carbine I just never really bonded with. I've had some jamming/stovepiping problems with it, which I'm hoping may have been solved by my tearing it down and completely cleaning/lubing it. I'll have to run it through its paces at the range at soon as the temperature...

Man! This is NO help! It’s like I have a little angel on one shoulder, saying things like Clint C: “Your bolt rifle is plenty for your scenarios, and in my opinion is better than a semi.” And a little devil on the other, we’ll call him CrankyOldGuy, whispering such temptations as: “1.)...

Thanks for the replies so far. Here are some general responses to some of them. First- to buy one just because I want one. Not going to happen. This is not some $50-100 gadget; it's a couple grand, maybe three by the time I scope it, etc. That's a lot of dough to me. If I bought everything I...

Do I really need a center fire rifle? Actually, I already have one- a nice old bolt action sporterized surplus military. But I am getting really close to picking up a “black” semi-auto .308 and a dozen or so mags. Problem is, I can’t imagine what I’d ever actually need it for. I arrived...

dardascastbullets said, "Are you just trolling here?" What are you talking about? It seems like a pretty informative and interesting thread has gotten going here. Hardly the goal of a troll. tasko 74 responded that although he has had outstanding luck with his handloads, and feels they...

jerkface11 said, "The writers who come up with this crap usually own sizable portions of some ammo manufacturer." What? Do you have an example of this? Or are you just making this stuff up as you go along? I know a lot of writers and journalists, and all of them are struggling to just get...

OK! This is the kind of stuff I want to hear. (I also wouldn't mind hearing some from the other side, but I guess I shouldn't expect to on a reloading forum!) I think the one point I was a bit uncertain about was the crimp. I somehow always felt the factory crimp would be the most correct...
