I keep forgetting this new smart phone takes good pictures... so sorry, no pics yet... several years ago, I bought my Martini in 50-70 Gov... I got the "package" the dies, a couple 100 loaded cartridges, 50 or so new Dixie cases, the bullet mold, & several 100 cast bullets... ... over the...

I was at the one local gun show I sell at, & my table neighbor had a 50 cal ammo can, full of what I assume were "pulled" 22 caliber caliber tracer bullets... we threw a few on a powder scale, & they weighed out between 52 & 55 grains... I'm sure they came from 223 / 5.56 cartridges... the guy...

Most of you have seen the pictures and write ups I have done previously on my 25 acp blackhawk... The other day we had a calm day, with temperatures getting close to 60... I headed over to my buddies place to do a little shooting, as he already had his chronograph setup, and I hadn't sighted in...

last night, they pulled the corn picking equipment into the fields at our place, around dark... 1/2 hour or so later, outside doggie let us know he had something trapped in the tallest walnut tree in the front yard...MRS goes outside, in her PJ's, comes back in & informs me he must have...

so I shot at MRS cousins traditional Muzzleloader shoot this last spring ( 1st time in many years ) a couple years ago I bought a Knight Rolling block in line... stainless / camo dipped... I'm curious what you guys would recommend for bullet selection??? last time I had it out, I bought either...

I just mounted one on my 25 ACP revolver, to try out... only having it out once, I can't honestly say that I like it or not... it seems to shoot at least as accurately as the iron sights... maybe a bit better... I'm searching for something that is not too big, & is easier for old man eyes to...

so, some of you may remember I built a Ruger Blackhawk chambered in 25 ACP... well... I've recently added a Contender barrel in the same, & had my custom 257 Special out along with the 25 ACP this weekend... please bear in mind, I am not & have never been a bullseye shooter... any groups posted...

I ran across these in a catalog while on the reading throne one night... I'm curious who makes them for Cabelas as most normal high quality scopes list light transmission in the middle 90%... it looks like the lens system may be made by Meopta ??? the Cabelas Euro Instinct scope lists light...

Do you remember the TV show "Top Shot" ??? I've always thought of myself as a good general all around shooter, & thought I'd do well on that show... last weekend a buddy & I did a "Sportsman's Challenge" at the Shooters Round-up at Alhman's Gun Shop in Morristown MN... they have 15 stages &...

I've seen the supposed e-mail regarding 231 & how hard / slow it is to make, & how we should supposedly switch to one of the newer formula powders... I'm curious... as I'm a bit of a stick in the mud, & like to use what has worked good for me in the past... I'm not sure what is the "best"...

I load a lot of 38's & 357's... even 357 Maximum... I'm thinking my 4" stainless GP-100 357 needs a new load... I used to shoot mostly medium loads in it, however after getting a pair of Vaqueros, they can shoot the cowboy stuff... the S&W can shoot the medium stuff, & I'll load specifically for...

when I was younger ( I started shooting pretty late in life ) I scoped everything I pretty much owned, including my revolvers & autos... after several years of shooting I finally came to my senses & pulled off all the ungainly scopes & on some put better open sights... now that i'm getting...

thought I better throw up a couple pictures of the newest 25 ACP project... this is my Contender carbine 17" 25 ACP barrel... it's wearing a Vortex Diamond Back 4-12X scope...barrel is still in the white for size comparison, here it is with my Ruger Scout rifle... I tried 3 different powders...

where would I find this stuff??? K-31 stock, hand-guard & front barrel band, & butt plate 30-40 Krag carbine stock & barrel bands 6.5 Arisaka carbine stock & front barrel band these 3 are mildly sporterized, the K-31 has the factory stock cut just past the rear barrel band, & the 30-40 &...

M-1 9mm carbine... curious if anyone has shot or owns one of these... I love my M-1 Carbine in 30 caliber... are these close enough for me to love one in 9mm ??? here is one on gun Broker for those unfamiliar... http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=495354363...

please delete... accidentally put this in the bolt rifle section... new thread in Semi auto section

I'm about to renew my carry permit for the 3rd time, which means I've been carrying for close to 10 years... over the years my style of dress has morphed around strong side belt carry... meaning I've been running untucked shirt styles for that long... I'm the manager of a factory, & sometimes...

suggestions as to load level & cheapest way to do this... I have several 1000 R-P cases saved up from firing in my standard hornet chamber ( nearly all are once fired ) I'm wanting to do a fire form load for the new K Hornet chamber... hopefully something reasonably accurate, & economical , yet...

Air Weight J Frame 22 Magnum ( with Speer short barrel Gold Dot ammo ) Air Weight J Frame 32 H&R Magnum ( with hand loads ) Ruger LCR-X 2" 38 Special ( with hand loads ) most CCW shootable ( for me )... the 7 shot 22 Magnum easily wins... this gun is new to me, & my 1st time shooting it...

so... 1st I suppose I better post the warning... these are custom loads for custom guns... please do not try to load similar in 25 ACP autos... ... 2nd I've posted in past threads about my custom 8 shot 25 ACP Blackhawk revolver... & more recently about my just completed 17" - 25 ACP Contender...
