No, you don't. That is another myth that has been repeated for decades. The former Soviet Union did not allow one subjected nation to load pistol ammo that was dangerous to shoot in the pistols of the other member nations.. And, as we know today, the CZ-52s were a weak, flawed design that had...

For all of you who think Tokarev ammo is unsafe in a C-96... It is loaded to less pressure than than the 9X25 Mauser was. (37,500 PSI. ) A C-96 in good condition will have no trouble handling Tokarev ammo.

You didn't have any problems because the .327 is loaded to nearly twice the pressures of a .32 ACP. Shooting the latter in an old, black powder revolver is an invitation for disaster.

Winchester white box 7.62X25 comes in at around 1650 FPS with the 85 grain bullet. Not necessarily higher pressures, just advances in modern propellants. Ammo companies aren't going to increase pressures on a cartridge that has been around for almost a century. Too many old, worn out Tokarevs...

That's because most manufactures load their ammo with pressures safe in any gun chambered for that round. Most simply state that the ammo should only be used in guns in good condition and marked for that particular caliber. You might have a bit of trouble firing 44 Russian ammo in a 44-40. The...

Cartridges Of the World lists the Mauser round @ 1410 FPS and the Tok round @ 1390 FPS. I don't think either figure is correct today.

Totally wrong! If it was unsafe to shoot Tok ammo in a C-96 there would be warnings on the box saying so. Read my last post and let it sink in. A C-96 in good condition can safely shoot any 7.62X25 factory loaded round, including ComBlock ammo. You are quite correct about the Super and the...

Well, Lyman's 50th edition reloading manual calls them interchangeable. There is a very tiny difference on case length which is inconsequential. Either round will chamber in either gun. Which brings us to.... I've been shooting Tok ammo in my broomie for years, and a few thousand rounds later...

Pedersoli made a nice double rifle in 45-70 for around five grand. Don't know if they still make it. Re-chambering it to 45-120 with the 3-1/4" case can turn it into a suitable elephant rifle, even at low 45-70 trapdoor pressures. Recoil would be harsh, as the gun doesn't weigh that much.

I have seen, and held in my hands, a 4 bore Purdy double rifle. This was in California in the 1980s. Only a handful were ever made. The man that owned it turned down an offer of a million dollars from a rich client. A Purdy is like the Rolls Royce of firearms. Order one today and see how many...

New York reminds me of California, where I lived for 15 years, back in the 70s and 80s. The state is mostly red, except for a few concentrated liberal infestations ( L.A, the Bay Area and Sacratomato ) that poison the state. Same deal with New York and N.Y.City. Now, I am living in Illinois...

We had a Gander Mountain years ago. They always had a lot of used guns, which I loved. They also recognized what a type 3 FFL was. I really miss them. I once got a Remington rolling block #2 rifle for a song, which they mistakenly identified as a #4 boys rifle. It was worth twice what I paid...

You are correct. Forgot about that one. Not sure about that one, but I wouldn't shoot .32 ACP ammo in an old black powder .32 revolver.

Springfield is over 150 miles from me. Iowa city is 90. The Sheel's in IC is the centerpiece of the Coral Ridge Mall and it is a monster. My only gripe is the almost total lack of used guns. And the only muzzle loaders present look like refugees from a freak show.

Regarding original trapdoor strength, Remington once did a test to demonstrate how strong their rolling block action was. They filled the barrel to halfway with powder and jammed a dozen or so bullets into it. The gun held. So did a trapdoor, same load!!! This is not to say you can go out...

Unless you have a Remington 550 or 550-1 ; in which case you can shoot everything from CB caps to high velocity LRs and the gun will function flawlessly.

You beat me to it, NIGHTLORD40K. I have a nice type 99 and it will feed and chamber 308 ammo. Mine feeds five out of the magazine as well. Of course, the cases are trashed after doing this. You end up with a case that has a shoulder and the tiniest bit of a neck. But don't stop with 308...

Goodies are on the way, WestKentucky. Tracking # is on the PM. Enjoy!!!

WestKentucky, I have a set of RCBS 7.5X55 dies that I have no use for . Shoot me a PM and they're yours. Free. And I'll pay shipping. Call it an early Christmas present. It's just my way of paying it forward. I have some brass I'll throw into the deal. Some of them are reformed .284...

Compared to non-Ruger Mini 14 magazines...they are ALL good.!!
