I LOVE my 452! At 100 yards with Eley Sport (in purple box, hard to find, new stuff, recommended to me by little old guy who goes around the world teaching the body guards of world leaders...) I have, without fail, fired MULTIPLE 10-rd strings into a hole that can be completely covered by a...

Carb Cleaner is Very Aggressive! During a block of instruction for ASE certification, our instructor told us how he had soaked a particularily dirty aluminum carbeurator in carb cleaner overnight in a sealed container. The next morning the carb was not recognizeable as a carb: It had been...

Surly Curmudgeon Spirit? "Political tags - such as royalist, communist, Democrat, populist, fascist, liberal, conservative, and so forth - are never basic criteria. The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire. The former are...

Preacherman, may God grant you full recovery! (Confession: I struggle with the admonitions from Dale Carnegie to not Condemn, Complain or Criticize... PO832177, please just get some oxygen, Dude.) Moderator, please forgive me and delete this post if I have stepped beyond the pale of THR...

I thought I was the lone ranger for a while, here in gun-unfriendly Illinois. I have been pleasantly surprised, though, at the number of people around me that own and shoot and are enthusiastic patriots. I have taken just about everyone I know who is even slightly curious to the range on...

Considering that super-soakers are rumored to be banned on the streets of Chicago because thugs were loading them with things other than water, (bleach, lye solutions, acid...), is it far from the realm of possibility that .68 caliber projectiles could be carrying something other than vegetable...

Immense thanks for the input. The price of my own time was one consideration I ignored in my earlier estimates. Reloading appears to be as much like any hobby as anything, huh? After shooting more than 2000 rds. of .45 ACP I considered reloading. After shooting more than 1000 rds. of...

These are Winchester Super X... where's the box?... They are commercially loaded. I will shoot the chambered round from now on when going plinking. I have file-thirteened the offending shorties. Thank you for saving me a possible equipment catastrophe and concurrent injury!!! :eek...

Now THAT'S Entertainment!

Questions on the economics of reloading: How much ammo do I have to load to see benefit over just buying factory? I just bought a BFR .45-70. I shoot quite a bit of .45 ACP and I have about 1200 empty hulls from my li'l .410. Is there A press that would work for all three of those or are...

I use the same gun to plink and defend the homestead. I seldom shoot the 75c/shot hollowpoints that reside in gun on nightstand. To go plinking and then return to night-duty I reload the same two hollowpoint rounds in the chamber as they trade places from chamber to top of mag and back...

P95Carry, http://www.magnumresearch.com/FAQ_BFRRevolver.asp looks good for comparative info. I shoulda looked there first. (Thumps forehead) Mike in VA, SWEET! I gotta do it, then! No more gopher hunting for me; I'm going into the gopher-condo-construction business! Paaahwhoomp...

.450 Marlin, anyone? Congratulations on your shrewd purchase, g-gunter! I just picked up a BFR 7.5" .45-70. MR says you can get 'em to fit a 450 Marlin cylinder for a nominal charge if your serial # begins with JT. Mine does, so I am considering it. Shooting the .45-70 loads has not...

For The Children 'Asked a mother or two if they would be willing to post a sign in the window of their home that says something to the effect of, "There are no guns on these premises. Criminals go away or we will call the police." The answer has invariably been a resounding,"No! that...

Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership has quite a bit on the racist origins of gun control. http://www.jpfo.org/gpjack4.htm
