Well, I took a box of reloads out, and had no problems. I had crimped those ones a bit more, and figured I would go to the other mag if I had issues, but so far so good. I can see from the shiny spot in the soot on the feed ramp that everything is feeding to center now, so am hopeful things will...

After 4-500 trouble free rounds, I have started getting the issue above. It seems to happen about once in a 50 rd box. Everything feeds slightly to the left, and sometimes they feed all the way to the left and hit the left side of the chamber. When this happens, the rear of the round is still in...

When reloading rifle cartridges, I chuck the Lee case trimmer holder in a cordless drill. Use the piloted trimmer to trim, then, without letting the drill stop, chamfer the case mouth, then pick up a scotchbrite pad and buff the case a bit. Steel wool it if you want too. Takes 5 seconds a case...

Good looking grips. The gun's OK too.:uhoh::D

Way back when I used to shoot various .22s at ranges up to 300yds. It was all about practice and holdover. The 200 yd targets were clay pigeons, which seems like you had to hold over about 3', and you did well if you hit 1 in 3. The 300 yd target was a spare tire filled w/ concrete. You had to...

In my opinion, since there are many flying about you can scrap the 30-30 and forget the .357. Both are a medium caliber that are not going to do much for you in AK. .44 handgun goes everywhere with you. Then, take a .22 rifle or pistol, or a pellet rifle. Your small game would consist of...

Fenix P1, P1-Cree, P2, All single cell batt suckers.

The Cree leds are roughly twice as efficient as the better Luxeon emitters. That means twice as bright w/ the same run time, or the same level of light for twice as long. The Fenix lights are extremely good, w/ many features only found on lights costing quite a bit more. The Surefires are...

It is easy to get sights from williams for the Savage rifles. Use the M110 rear, which goes on the holes for the rear scope mount, and the front ramp/blade of your choice.:)

I used to use the same gun w/ the speer silhoutte loads. They made that gun BARK! W/ the 180g fmj, they made dents in 3/16 steel plate. I don't think there is a better platform for hunting w/ a .357. It was also very accurate w/ .38 sp. If I remember right, I used to use the top of the bevel on...

Just to stir things up, in my brief test, I got much more penetration from a .44 Mag 300g hardcast at 1370 fps than 600g brenneke hardcast slugs in a spruce log. The brenneke stopped in a 6 in log @20 yds, the 4 .44 slugs blitzed through it. It is a limited test, but I prefer the .44 hardcast.:)

Stainless steels have varying amounts of carbon. Those with little carbon are "more stainless". Those with high carbon will corrode easier. Each has it's purposes. A higher carbon content allows the stainless to harden more. If a material is going to be submerged for an extended period or needs...

The action is perfect when you work it like you are in a panic and adrenaline is pumping so hard everything is a gross motor movement. Just smooths right out!:D :D

Midway sells a lot of Cold Steel stuff.

Last one I saw was sold for 635 used, because they were not being made anymore. I guess they are about that on the web shops too.:rolleyes: Whatever floats your boat.
