    Bicycling across the USA: to carry or not to carry?

    Many people do this just fine without a gun. I think some pepper spray would probably assuage your fears well enough. (I want to try bike touring some day and considered this as well. Basically decided it was too much trouble trying to figure out how to secure a weapon on a bicycle.)

    S&W Model 10 police trade in at Buds again

    I always want to get one of these, but I'm too lazy to renew my license and deal with the ffl stuff just for a spare 38...

    I scored this morning.

    Price on the 22 seems about right.

    something is strange with ammo sales

    It seems like one outlet because everyone buys up all the ammo they can pay retail for. You see ammo on Gunbroker because it's at a price that people won't pay, so it's still there.

    When will or if the frenzy buying of reloading stuff end?

    Good to see somebody finally admit to having a 20 year supply of components yet still buy out every shelf they see. I fully expect to find see an episode of that Hoarders show someday where they find a guy with floor to ceiling primers, powder, and cast bullets. I suppose a guy like that would...

    Accidental hot loaded .38 using Trail boss

    I'll be the umpteenth person to say they are probably fine, but go ahead and shoot them in a 357 just to really cover your butt. As mentioned above, I've also overloaded Trail Boss in 30-30 to no ill effect.

    Hornady Levereveloution

    This is not true... This would be possible if the cases used were full length. However, Hornady uses somewhat short .357 brass so the .357 should still chamber in any revolver. I can vouch that I have shot it out of my GP100 without any issues.

    Anybody get their RCBS rebate yet?

    It should have been enough... As I said before, they claim they never received anything. Sucks to hear other people never got theirs either. Guess I should count my blessings that we aren't hurting for that $50.

    Anybody get their RCBS rebate yet?

    So I had this on my mind again today and finally called up the rebate company to ask about my and my wife's rebates. They checked their records quick and said they had never received our information :mad: And of course, as per their instructions I cut out all the UPCs and stuck those in the...

    Miitchell's new PPS50/22 drum fed 22LR

    My dad bought one of these recently. He didn't get the wood stocked Ruskie lookalike, but got the one with the synthetic stock and the forward grip. My 2 cents: Felt pretty accurate. It's plenty hefty for a .22, but if you aren't a little kid I think the weight is actually good for...

    Never know what you'll find at an auction.(PIC HEAVY)

    Did you buy it to keep it or did you buy it to turn a buck at somepoint? (If you are trolling auctions I'm guessing it could go either way). If you are going to keep it and want it to look nice, re-blue it. If you are just going to sell it, do it ASAP and make your buck and let the next guy...

    Laser cast minimum/max velocities

    Popper, what about the results were lousy? I've got a bunch of those 170gn bullets to load for my 336. I'd been loading them with Trail Boss to give some plinky-plink rounds, but I want to try them faster but don't know how fast I can go or if it is even worth it.

    My Rossi M720 Desktop Background

    Man that hurts my eyes. Hope it's just the resolution!

    Question for those with soft lead in clips and loaders

    No personal experience, but I've got a book that shows the lead hollowpoints swaged closed after spending some time in a speed strip.

    Carrying extra rounds for a revolver.

    QuickStrips is a knock-off of the Bianchi Speedstrips, but they offer them in a variety of calibers. http://www.tuffproducts.com/home.php?cat=265
