    Survival rifle idea...

    Hmm.. lots of opinions here. But then that's what I was trying to start... a lively discussion. I agree that a 22LR will accomplish almost everything you need to do. However, I was trying to put out a new idea that I had never seen discussed anywhere. I wasn't saying that you would be living out...

    Do you weigh every charge?

    For handgun (and rifles like my 45-70), I check about one per 50. For precision rifle I throw half a grain light, put it on the scale, and trickle to the tenth.

    best suggestion for bear defence pistol/cal

    I just got a Super Redhawk in 480 with rings and a buckmaster scope for $500 bucks.. I'm pushing a 400gr XTP mag at 1100 with slightly under a max load... pretty cheap and a whole lotta gun..

    New revolvers: Smith vs. Ruger. Which do you prefer?

    I like my Rugers... For the everyday working man, they just seem to have more going for them, ie, cheap, tough as nails, and accurate.

    Survival rifle idea...

    Here is a thought that I had... Would a large caliber low pressure rifle like the 45-70 be a good survival cartage? Bullets you could cast your own with scavenged lead, and for powder, you could use just about anything. I imagine you could pull just about any random bullets that you find and...

    How much ammo is just too stinkin' much?

    I don't mind stocking up for the next shortage, I'm puzzled at the people that stock ridiculous stockpiles for the primary purpose of SHTF... I guess nothing is too much, but there comes a point where enough is in fact enough; I was interested in hearing some opinions on a small cache...

    How much ammo is just too stinkin' much?

    I have been following several threads lately related to stocking up on ammo. Now, I am all for stocking up on ammo for the next shortage. What I am talking about is the people who stock up on ammo for the express purpose of being ready for a SHTF scenario. What I want to get with this thread is...

    Choosing bullet diameter, 480 Ruger

    I have had a few of these threads asking questions about loading for my new cannon. What I am wondering now is what is the best bullet diameter for this caliber, using cast lead bullets. I will be buying from Montanna Bullet works, and they asked what diameter I wanted. I am guessing that if the...

    What should you do with your gun after a justified shooting?

    I would prefer not to get close enough to get into a wrestling match for my gun... Unless you were a trained LEO, I wouldn't mess with all that.

    Looking for advice on lever gun

    I would go with a marlin in the caliber of your choice, either .357 or 45LC depending on which you will have the most use for. I like 45, and hopefully will be getting a wheelgun/ rifle combo soon..

    What should you do with your gun after a justified shooting?

    I would reholster, or put the gun within arms reach. You will hear the cops coming most likely, and at that point you can put your hands out or back away from the gun.

    A quick question about reloading the 454 casull.

    Not meaning to hijack the thread or anything, but what makes Lil Gun so different from H110 or another magnum pistol powder so as to cause cone problems?
