Well, I only shoot 200 grain lead for CAS, but it works just great. Mine does not like the semi wad cutter 240 factory loads though. I pulled all the bullets left in the box and reloaded them with my 200 grain. Gave the lead bullets to a friend for his pistol. I love that little beauty. It...

Thanks Maverick

Where am I supposed to get these targets? Did we resolve what the target is to be? RED WHITE AND BLUE for 50 Yd Silhouette for 25?

Well, being an old cuss, I didn't have to do all the things that they require, but I am qualified to do them. That being said, they are really interested in my status in an approved club with a CMP program. I am an annual member in two and I need to send in proof of member ship each year. BUT...

Just a note of warning, commercial ammunition, other than Hornady and Federal, that are loaded specifically for the M1 are not recommended unless you use an adjustable gas plug. There reasons for this, powder burn rates and bent operating rods. So be cautious when you load those clips and good...

If I can jump into the discussion, I would compare the recoil on a standard M1 to be about the same as a mild 12 gauge recoil. BUT perceived recoil is a relative thing. Some folks don't notice while others suffer from it. At 9.5 pounds weigh-in, and being gas driven, it handles the 30-06 very...

You did not mention what state you reside in, or if you did I missed it. I do that a lot. That being said, I think I would check with a lawyer, yeah I don't like them either, but in this day and age they are necessary. One of my lifelong friends is a lawyer, but he is also a shooter so we...

I stand corrected. Size does matter. LOL Make that a good cigar for Clem.

Well, my vote is for BoB. I think it is an honest presentation of the facts and how things went down. SPR, however gave some very dramatic moments. I did not sleep well for several nights after seeing it. The mother sitting on the porch sobbing brought memories to me of my Uncle killed in France...

Well, I never saw anything like that in the .81 mm mortar ordnance while I was in Uncle Sam's club. Not saying it could not be something developed after 1960 when I left the active service.\I would not think a .22 blank would have enough umph to ignite the cheese to hoist one of these out of...

I concur with the opinion that the 30-06 covers a lot of ground. I would vote for a lever action Marlin 1894 in a pistol caliber. I shoot one and it is one of the most fun to shoot rifles that I own. The 30-06 is still a big contender for the hunting round for anything big enough to be a truck...

I didn't see a rail for the flashlight.

Bottom line: If she likes it, you done good. If she doesn't like it, try chocolates and flowers.

I shoot cowboy with mine. It has the ballard barrel in in it and I shoot handloads with .429 lead bullets. I have not printed it on paper since I first got it but I seldom miss a cowboy target at their distances. When I do, it is most likely my fault. I have nothing but good things to say about...

Never like to bash or bad mouth another person's choice of weapons. Dance with what you got I say. However, my preference runs toward the 39A. I could not get past the blocky look of the Henry and a few other issues. Soooo, I ordered one. Marling 39 A that is. If I knew how to post a picture, I...
