    Are there advantages....

    In the .45-70, you will get better long range accuracy with black powder. This is due to very low shot to shot velocity variations. Usually running under 10 fps with properly prepared loads. Get a copy of the SPG BP loading manual by Steve Garbe and Mike Venturino. Following their advice I...

    Using weight lifting gloves for handgun shooting?

    I wear a motocross glove on my right hand shooting my Ruger Blackhawk and Bisley with Elmer loads in .44 Mag. I leave the fingers in as the trigger bites in recoil.

    .44 Special

    I'm a .44 special lover. I have the Ruger 5.5 inch Bisley Flat top in SS, a Smith 6.5 inch 624, a pair of 4.6 Vaqueros, and a 5.5 inch Cimarron Model P. Mostly bang away at steel plates on my home range. They all shoot Keith 250's over 7.5 gr. Unique. Lotta fun.

    ATF "Firearm Purchase" (?) Number

    That is what I do. Most of my stuff is done online. I go in to FFL to get him to email his signed copy and fill out and sign the 4473 then. If I get delayed, 3 business days later I get the gun. As long as the transfer happens within 30 days, we are good. Plus only $10. per gun.

    ATF "Firearm Purchase" (?) Number

    Perfectly legal. I do them when a purchase is on the way. The FFL will not do anything that gets them crosswise with ATF.

    ATF "Firearm Purchase" (?) Number

    I am the son of a convicted felon and also have the same name. I add the junior to my name and also put my SSN on the 4573. Still get delayed. I just fill out the forms now in advance. My FFL will hold them for 30 days, so they are cleared when I need a transfer.

    Raccoon whips my 2 dogs after being shot out of a tree and falling 30 feet!

    Had an uproar out back one morning. Found a mid size coon at war with my 2 mutts. The coon was standing roaring like a midget bear! A dog would run in grab it and shake. The coon started gnawing on the dogs face till the dog dropped it. The coon would try to run and the other dog jumped in...
