You should have countered with, "Shiny, let's be bad guys!" :D Honestly, girls who are not told at a young age that guns are not for girls are just as likely to like them as guys ..... I have 4 daughters and 2 of them hunt and shoot often .... and one of the other 2 is only 7. There's NRA...

Taurus Judge. Never. Ever.

Mine had Hogues on it when I bought it, but they caught my shirt and caused it to ride up..... not good for a carry gun. They ARE more comfortable to shoot than the stock grips, though. It boils down to what you want the gun for.

Inflation has begun .....

.243 ...... .... better ammo availability. If you handload, 6mm bullets are generally cheaper (can you say bulk packs?) than .257s, and the .243 case more economical than the long action /06 sized .25/06. The .25/06 is better further out, and packs more wallop ...... but at under 300...

Recoil is mostly subjective...... It mostly depends on the person experiencing it. The biggest part of that is expectation: If you think its going to kick hard, it will. As far as the objective part, TANSTAAFL, at least in physics. Newton's laws of motion are not guidelines. Generally, you...

It seems to me that the lead core of Sierra GameKings is very soft.... just my experience. My 150g .270s (leaving at 2900) come apart in the boiler room on frontal shots under 100 yards, w/o penetrating past the diaphram into mess making territory.

Not that much difference in Ballistic coefficients between the BT and Partition : .379 vs .365 At 3000 f/sec, the table at the back of my Nosler reloading manual shows a velocity difference of less than 100 f/sec a bullet drop difference of less than 1/2 an inch, at 400 yards. Unless...

"...I had three holes in my penis and a smashed left testicle... " .....no powder burns?

"Respond "yes sir" or "no sir" to questions." I was under the impression that the Officer was working for ME (and the rest of the public). Sir, hell...... "Yes, Officer _________ (read from name tag)/ No, Officer ______ (read from nametage).........

Magnum is a marketing term AFAIK, when talking about shotgun ammo. See also "max dram equivalent"..... Save the money you were going to spend on a pistol grip and buy ammo and practice, you know, actually shooting......... better yet, save up some money and take a combat shotgun class.....

I like 158gr JHPs for everything but punchin' paper with the kids...... then it's 125gr plated .38 specials....

Or a Frankengun.... bodged together from the dead bodies of several others....

The LFC die for pistols works differently than the one for rifles? How so? I have the LFC dies for my rifles, and like it. I was contemplating getting one for my pistols, as repeated chambering of my carry ammo has resulted in some of the bullets being set back a bit... this would cause case...

If you are shooting at long range, you need to know exactly how far to hold over. If the Range is long and the angle steep, it could be the difference between a hit and a miss. Or worse, a solid hit and a wounded animal. Where are you hunting? How long are the shots?
