    "40 is a dead caliber"

    Hardly. Millions of pistols say not.

    Goodbye W231/HP38?

    I get the byproducts and waste disposal part, but this is a bummer. A great .45 ACP powder that W231 is. I wonder what's next on the chopping block? Unique? That's been scarce for awhile. Thanks for the info.

    Lee hand press...

    I created the same type of kit that nestled neatly into a 50 cal can for 3006 and 45auto. I used the lee hand press, which was new at the time, and loaded about 10,000 rds on it. I gave it to a friend who is still using it. Worked good for the loading conditions I had at that time. I never...

    Army / Rifle Cleaning

    They wanted them CLEAN when I was in the Army. No oil, no carbon residue. No dust or dirt anywhere on the weapon being inspected. This was prior to weapons turn in at the end of training. Weapons would periodically be pulled out of the armory just to be re-cleaned and inspected.... this was...

    Powder availabilty.

    I got a couple of 8lb jugs of Unique last fall. Signed up for Email alert from Wideners in TN. I found that was about the only way to get a jump on a fresh supply. YMMV :D

    well i looked at a ruger convertible in 45 colt/45 acp

    Mine, is an older convertable, but to answer your question based on mine is yes they are good guns, and yes MINE is accurate in both calibers. I would get one with adjustable sights. They are fun to shoot too. :D

    Should I start casting?

    Zgunner, I wasnt sure I should post, because of lots of good advice already. My take on this subject is: 1) In light of the recent and various shortages of ammo, casting gives you the ability to at least MAKE serviceable ammo. I had friends that were either not shooting their pistols or doing...

    Why Marlin discontinue the 9mm and .45ACP camp carbine ?

    Stiab, Just curious, is the velocity increase with 230 fmj or with lighter bullets or both? I have read the same information, that .45 acp doesnt deliver higher velocities in carbine length firearms. Ive never had a carbine and was wondering that fact as well. I had a .357 carbine that really...
