I loaded a few rounds for an experiment tomorrow.:D Anybody want to guess how it'll work? 4.0gr under 125gr Montana Gold FMJ. QuickLoads says 755fps from my 3.46" Glock 33. Will it work the slide? Will it squib out?! Stay tuned!

Anybody with the Hornady manual want to check and see what they show? Alliant says 10.5gr max and lists the same max for 125gr.:rolleyes:

I need some measurements....

My uncle has inherited a "NIB" Ruger Security Six, blued, 4" model, circa 1982. His FiL bought it in Texas, put a trigger lock on it and put it in his dresser. He even has the original, obviously complete, box of ammo the FiL bought at the same time. Sorry, no pictures, as this gun that was...

Well, here I am again, after and uneventful season last year... hope springs eternal. Sitting on the NE corner of a property, bordering cents on the east and grass field on the north. New spot, wild guess based on wind and deer sign. Hunting in my blue bubble again. ;) Google made it much...

So... I have this acquaintance, pretty much the Bubba that we're always taking about, who's got this S&W 1000 12ga auto. He's got this scope mount (I use the term loosely) on it that's a serious hack job. It's off level by enough that turning the scope to its stop has it shooting about 18" low...

I ordered a "silver" DNZ Game Reaper mount for my Encore Pro Hunter. The product that arrived can be seen here, top left: The company claimed that Encore frame and barrel colors and shades vary and their mount is within "normal variance". Anyone who has seen any number of Encore or any other...

Anyone offended by large, high-powered optics should look away now. ;) It began life as a Savage model 11 chambered in .270WSM with a 24" blued barrel, wearing that embarrassing black plastic stock that Savage uses and sporting a functional but unimpressive Nikon 3-9x42 optic. Today, she...

I'm currently having a conversation of sorts with a company that makes Encore scope mount/bases regarding what I consider to be an aesthetically defective base. It is functionally correct but the color is nothing like I've ever seen any stainless Encore. The company claims "color variance" on...

I already have a strong idea of what I want. It's going to be mounted on a Savage 11 chambered in .243AI for use against deer primarily and woodchucks/coyotes/vermin secondarily. Low light capability is a major factor. I have done considerable research but I want to make sure I haven't missed...

Found this guy and a bunch of deer (pics of the deer, later) in Gunnison National Forest out in the middle of 15 miles from nowhere.:D

All dies appear as NIB. Used one time. Redding Body Die, $30 TYD ($35 at MidWay, plus shipping) RCBS Neck Die set, $45 TYD ($54 at MidWay, plus shipping) Sierra 90gr Bullets, 82 remaining, $17 TYD

You all might remember the deer that we called "Black Ear" last year. After we got some better pictures of him, we realized that his ear isn't actually black, it's torn but he's Black Ear already so the name stuck... here is is last year: Well, he's back again and it's amazing how similar his...

What will follow in this thread will be my description of (as a response to Heidi Yewman's piece) one month carrying a gun and having it prepared for home-defense and my thoughts and feelings related thereto. I will use my god-like powers as staff to keep this thread locked until the month is...

I truly mean no disrespect to our friend from Ireland but we need to see where we are headed here in America. Folks, we can not let this happen to us here. We all know the story. A frog placed in boiling water jumps out immediately, but placed in cold water with heat slowly added, he'll sit...

Well, as many of you will know, I won an RSI Pressure Trace II on eBay. These last few weeks have been an interesting time while I figured out how to get everything together and working. The system I acquired was unused but rather on the old side. Unfortunately, the supplied glue, which is...

So, I've got a bunch of .257Roberts brass that's been formed to 6mm Rem. Don't ask me why, my uncle did it many years ago. The cases are headstamped "Super Speed" and they won't fit in any of my Lee #2 shellholders or the lee #2 case trimmer shellholder. Since the shellholder works for all...

Woo hoo! Sometimes I love eBay!

A few hours ago, I got a phone call from Jim Tresmond, lead attorney in the Dywinski v. State Of New York suit. He tells me that they have identified yet another unintended consequence in the "SAFE" Act... Hopefully, Maxb49 will be along to fill in any details or errors in my reporting here.;)...

And I don't mean supply.;) Is there a bullet (or bullets) that people would buy and use in reasonable quantities, that is not being made?
