Oh didn't know that, guess just the .30-06 was corrosive? And totally agree, wouldn't have shot that old stuff for the cool factor alone!

So I'm in the position where I have to downsize my collection considerably and I've got a buddy who wants to buy my RockOla. We both know the gun is worth some decent money and neither of us wants to rip anyone off. Is there some kind of valuation service we could use to set a fair price or...

The first handgun I ever shot was a K22. I actually got to shoot it again for the 1st time in many, many years last month. I always loved that K22, but just realized it's my all time favorite 22 and only second to my Python as far as wheelies go. Get one! Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

I burn 4.5 of bullseye or red dot under a 200 grain LSWC. Honestly can't tell the difference between the two and I get very good accuracy. Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

I'm kind of shocked too, I think... Does the S&W 1911PD with Crimson Trace grips really go for $1000+?

Have you tried numrich? https://www.gunpartscorp.com/Manufacturers/MarlinGlenfield-33379/Rifles-37333/39Series-38980/39-34032.htm

They certainly don't make them like they used to. I love my smiths and rugers. Hell, I even love my taurus wheelies, but none of them balance and feel quite like this early hollow lug 6" snake.

Yep, I will definitely work up and not do anything stupid. I'll also be working with a +p gun and brass. Maybe I'm over thinking things, but am wondering how much pressure is affected by seating the bullets backwards as your theoretically making the combustion chamber smaller by taking the...

I recently picked up a box of hornady hbwc's just for this purpose. What powder charge are you using with yours?

I've got the range officers at my favorite range trained to sweep brass into a pile for me. They even check with other shooters to see of they're keeping their brass. Luckily it's the closest range to me and is is only a few years old.

Another vote for the Marlin 39A here. Been shooting one since I was a kid and just a few years back my dad finally gave it to me to keep. Out of all my toys it is hands down my favorite and most prized. http://www.thehighroad.org/showpost.php?p=9873388&postcount=4563

In the winter months im able to conceal a smith 686 or a pair of 1911s. Its all about having the right clothing and holsters for the task.

3 grains of bullseye with a 158 lswc has been a very accurate target load in every 38/357 I've tried it in. As previously mentioned, unique and red dot are great too but I typically keep my unique for +p and 357s as it thrives at stiffer loads.

Quite similar here, pre 64 model 70s... 1st out is the 06 with a 308 as a backup. Both are featherweights.

I recently got rid of my RIA 1911 to help fund a Springfield RO and I've had a Ruger 5" for about a year now. Hands down I like the Ruger the best. The Springfield is pretty good too but between these 2 examples Ruger beats out Springfield in the fit, finish, accuracy and trigger department...
