I was sitting around thinking about bullet design. Not an expert or an engineer but I had a couple thoughts. A modern bullet is basically lead with a copper jacket. Now people say their bullet separated and supposedly that's a bad thing.. Why? Bullets of old were plain lead. People controlled...

I have three boxes of the Winchester shells. I'll sight in with them and see how they do. I keep hearing stories of peoples bullets "blowing up" and such. All these years I have always hunted with basic soft point bullets and never had that happen. (?) I picked my shot and the old plain...

Thanks for the reply. I was thinking the 100 grain might be overkill for awhile. I don't think I've seen a deer over 100 pounds since I moved here.

For those of you using the .243 Winchester how many of you have tried the Winchester Power Points? This is my first "small" center fire rifle. I was thinking of using premium bullets but ran into a fella who has hunted southern Arizona his whole life and when I grilled him about what he used in...

I found a box of Nosler Accubond 90 grain bullets on the shelf..:) Thought they had "walked off" for awhile. . Bonded stuff. A bit pricey but I think I'm going to try to work up a load with them first. If they shoot well I think I can rely on them as a "do-it-all" type bullet for coyotes...

I have a 24" barrel being made for me by E.R. Shaw chambered in .243 with a 1:8 twist. I thought I'd try and shoot Hornady 87 grain bullets in it. My question is this; Is the 1:8 twist too tight for "lighter" bullets? I actually consider it a light bullet. Most vermin bullets seem to be in the...

I usually order online because the FFL dealers near my home carry nothing I am ever interested in. (Very limited stock) I have ordered 15 firearms this way and have not had a problem. (But now I have.) I will continue to purchase this way as it is the only way to get what I want. I guess I could...

I ordered it online. I waited a week for delivery. When I picked it up I was trying to get home after a really long day(s) at work and was so tired I just gave it a glance in the box and went on home and passed out. Got a good look at it the following night when I got home from the job. They...

I took the plunge (against the advice of my FFL dealer) and bought a Charter Arms Pathfinder revolver in .22 magnum. Out of the box I checked to make sure it was unloaded. Next I pulled the hammer back. OK so far. Went to release the hammer and the trigger caught halfway and stuck. After working...

I just heard a rumor from an interesting source that the Ruger LCR may be chambered for the .22 magnum... I like the idea.

I don't seem to have any trouble finding ammo for the .327. I buy all my ammo online because I can find what I want just about anytime. As for not catching on, I don't know about that. It seems to be gaining some steam with the Ruger crowd. I really like it.

I have read much on the 351PD in .22 magnum. It looks nice! I picked up an LCR awhile ago and the trigger is quite amazing. Both are quality products. Have not had a J frame in 20 years and maybe they are worth a look. I wrote to Charter Arms and made the mistake of asking about reports of...

I have been eyeing the Ruger LCR for awhile. With standard ammo I should be Ok. I can always pull my Lee Loader out and download some a bit. Yeah, I think that just might be the best way to go.

I'm in a pickle. Some time ago I sold off all my big magnum handguns. I kept a Ruger SP-101 in .327 magnum and a NAA Black Widow in .22 magnum, both of which I REALLY like. The Ruger is just a bit large to carry concealed. So I have been racking my brain to come up with an idea on what to get...

I am sick of those bashing Taurus. I have owned and currently own Taurus revolvers. In fact I am a week away from buying another stainless 65. I have never had an issue with any revolver from Taurus. I plan to purchase two model 85 the first of the year. Why? Because I have owned them and have...

Got a hold via email. Gun going back today. I have looked the gun over very carefully. I think I have discovered the problem. I wrote to them and also put it in the paper inside the box. It's a nice gun but we will see what happens... I've only had to return one gun in my entire life. (Ruger)...

Yep, picked it up yesterday. When I cock the hammer and then let it back down the cylinder locks up tight on about the third time making the gun useless until the pin is removed and put back in. When tried again it will lock up tight again. :scrutiny: Gonna have to go through the hassle of...

I would like another Taurus model 65. I have one already that is some years old. Has anyone bought one of the new ones lately? If so what do you think of it? So far my old six shooter had done well.

I had looked into getting one for some time but was a little embarrased to get something so small. Then I found out that my brother, a retired policeman has been carrying the Black Widow for years. He couldn't say enough good things about it. I pick up my new Black Widow this Saturday. What...

Not really worried about capacity and reloading speed for the revolver. I live in rural Arizona. In a "situation" I have many various firearms all of which out-range my revolver. These would be my first choice. A handgun to me is just a last resort type of tool. Been thinking about things...
