I would think it would depend on how hard they are crimped... Try seating one to the proper depth. As a last resort you could pull the bullets. Tom

Kel-tec is also unveiling its .22mag carbine I think... quadrail forend, colapsable stock and .32 round mags!! Sounds fun to me!! Tom

While my heart tells me my 1851 Navy, I would probably opt for a 1858 Remington... especially for self defense. The ability to quickly change an empty cylinder for a full one would be very handy. Also the ability to carry a conversion cylinder and be able to shoot .45 Colt or .45 ACP...

A and O, thanks for the offer! I just picked up some Winchester loaded rounds..... :) Tom

So far I haven't even been able to find those... Tom

Anyone know where to get new 7.62 X 39 Brass? Trying to find some new brass... Thanks! Tom

I would try a hard wood dowel. You can usually get them at the hardware store. IF this doesn't work I would try a solid brass rod or a solid mild steel rod. Either should also be available at the hardware store... Tom

Those are some good looking hogs!! They are hauling some serious ass though! Tom

The Federal Premiums are DESIGNED to hold together on deer sized game. What ever you get make sure it is designed for deer sized game and NOT a varmint round. Tom

NICE SMLE!! Tom

I voted Ruger 77. I just love these guns. I have one in .35 Whelen, .308 Win. and .257 Roberts and they can do everything I would want. If I wasn't getting a Ruger I would look closely at the CZ rifles or a Tikka. Honestly none of the above rifles would be a "bad" choice!! Tom

I voted yes I have done it and yes I would do it again! As has been said it is not that crazy or macho. I love watching the dogs work!! Here is a picture of one of my "Ultimate Boar Knives" in pumpkin G-10 Here is a shot of me and the last hog I killed. Tom

I would opt for the .44 mag lever gun with a 3" 629 as back up. Lever guns are pretty easy to carry and handy in tight places. It will also bump the velocity up a good bit and make hitting easier. Tom

With airguns 1,100+ fps sounds good in ads, but is not desirable. A pellet is a diablo shape. Think of a badminton cock. They work by using drag on the skirt of the pellet. When a pellet crosses the sound barrier it wobbles, does it again when it drops below it. This adversely affects...

LOOKING GOOD BUDDY! Nice work! Now get back out there and make some more! Tom
