I was thinking about this the other day after I caught two good smallmouth for the grill. What would you say is the percentage of your diet that comes from game you take yourself? I'm sad to say that putting ego aside, only about one to three percent annually comes from game I've taken. I've...

I recently picked up a left-handed H.R.T. OWB holster for my 1911 that another customer had custom ordered and never picked up. Although I paid $30 more for it than the Don Hume OWB (which has been on back order since march) it is a very high quality holster and well worth the money in my opinion.

Anyone reloading the 240gr XTP-MAG .452"? I picked up a box to use in my .45LC Blackhawk. I'd like to hear any thoughts, recommendations, or results from people who've tried it. Thanks, Bill P.S. I currently load for .45acp, .30-30, .38spl. I haven't loaded .45 Colt before.

Anyone tried the new CCI .22lr quiet ammo for pest control? How are the noise and ballistics level compared to .22 short?

I understand there is now a month long hunting season for these snakes in Florida and have a couple questions. Other than the fact that they are an invasive species what's the point of hunting them? Is there a market for the skins? What type of firearm(s) would be appropriate? Is there a...

I'll be moving south to florida this summer (from NY). As I understand it NFA items are allowed there. I would like to have my 870 12ga cut back to 14"bbl after the move to make it easier to carry backpacking and as a HD gun. Could someone who's been through it let me know if my understanding of...

Lately I've been carrying a S&W bodygaurd .38+P in a DeSantis pocket holster much more often than anything else. I've started using a timer to clock my draw and fire sequence. I can now draw and fire one round (consistantly hitting inside the eight ring ) at 15', averaging seven tenths of a...

I'll go first. .25-35 win ( model 94 ) .375 win ( big bore 94 ) .32 H&R magnum ( ruger single six ) Although I left it wide open I intended it to mean cartridges you actually shoot at least occasionally.

Does anyone know of an aftermarket company that makes a slug barrel for the Remington 1100 left hand 20ga.?

After a two decade break I've started to do some reloading again. I've come up with a .45acp load using Hornady 230gr. XTP, Titegroup, And Win. LP primers. This load averages 843fps which I think is adequate for the XTP to expand properly. In other words, I'm happy with this load. Now I'd like...

Just brought home my new .45 colt Blackhawk. Can't help feeling like a kid at Christmas :rolleyes:. While I was shopping around through ammo choices I came across some Cor-Bon 300gr. +P JSP. I'm familiar with the strength of Blackhawk revolvers but not Cor-Bon ammunition. The Dealer told me that...

In about two weeks I'll be bringing home my new Ruger Blackhawk .45 colt. I've not reloaded this caliber before and am looking for load suggestions. I'm a fan of the XTP bullet and plan on using the 300gr .452" dia. The main uses I have for the gun are hunting and backwoods self-defense. I'd...

I swear I only went to buy targets and maybe a loading block. Then I saw it. A Ruger Blackhawk .45 colt, SS, with 4 5/8" bbl.. Asked to hold it and that was all she wrote. five minutes later it's on layaway. By the way, anybody got any good handloads for the 300gr. XTP?:D:D

I'd like to get opinions/recommendations of software available for reloading/calculating ballistics. I'm looking for something that is comprehensive enough to include many different caliber, bullet weight, powder combinations. Being able to calculate pressure would be a plus. I've never used any...

I hope this is posted in the correct forum. After a short trial and error period I mixed up my first batch of ballistic gel using a formula I'm told is identical to that used on the T.V. show "Mythbusters". (Knox unflavored gelatine is the primary ingredient). I plan to use the gel to test two...

Anyone use this combination? I just loaded a batch using 4.0gr of 700x. This is my first time reloading .45acp and I haven't gotten out to shoot any yet. They dry cycle through the gun fine. Does anyone have any favorite loads for the XTP in .45acp?

I finally picked up the RIA 1911a1 match .45 that's been on lay-a-way all winter. Can't wait to get it to the gravel pit this weekend! :D:D:D

Does anyone make a MOLLE pouch for 5 round m1a magazines? Or is it a try and find what will work situation.

I took a look at one of these in the LGS today. Liked everything about it but the price. Still I expect my life circumstances to change quite a bit in the next few months and am considering selling a couple that no longer fit the bill in order to help finance the m1a. Wondering how you guys who...

Does anyone know where I can find blueprints for the Winchester model 94? Thanks
