    Union Station Massacre, Kansas City

    "Public Enemies" by Bryan Burrough is a pretty book book to read. it covers a lot of what was happening in that time frame

    Waldlaufer

    I have a binocular that I bought when I was stationed at Rhein Main AB , West Germany in the early 1970's. the only markings on it are "Waldlaufer" and the number "38100". I don't remember if I bought them on base at the BX or downtown Frankfurt. they are 8 x 40 porro prism. they are fairly well...

    Gun Digest

    at $7.99 Combat Handguns should have stayed ended. it was a pretty good magazine when it was B & W with some good writers for $4. since all of the guns are plastic now who cares if it is a color picture.

    Gun Digest

    I can remember when they were about $9 and they were pretty good. I'm not sure they are worth $35. I have bought a couple of them at that price but they had special articles that I was interested in otherwise I don't buy them. they could skip the gun catalog pictures and stuff in that they are...

    Chronograph issues

    you don't say what chronograph or load you were using but I would guess you have the screens to close to the muzzle and the readings are being affected by muzzle blast

    Winchester 680

    I remember the reason it was discontinued was due to being temperature sensitive. It was also not very consistent between lot numbers. I used it in the 357 max and heavy bullet loads in the 41 mag and 44 mag

    Theunis Botha, PH, killed during elephant hunt...

    I decided "Theunis Botha" to look up on you tube and the bunny huggers are sure out in force. I think I learned a couple of new combinations of words that I didn't learn in the air force. the replies are very profane.

    CO Success

    I didn't realize that the law existed. I lived in Colorado for 21 years and you could go to a gun show and always find any number of people with switchblades for sale. I bought a Benchmade switchblade at a gun show at the Merchandise Mart down in Denver. this was back in the 1980's and 1990's...

    Why is the 45-70 so popular?

    a Ruger # 3 in 45-70 hurts just looking at it. a Ruger #1S in 45-70 isn't bad at all

    Winchester 680

    I see no reason to work up and find a good load with a powder that is no longer made. if you managed to find another can of the powder it probably isn't going to have the same lot number and you would have to start over. if it happened to have the same lot number I would go buy a lottery ticket...

    Winchester 680

    WW-680 varied quite a bit from lot to lot. I used it in heavy bullet loads in the 357 max , 41 mag and 44 mag. like other WW powders (630 for one) of the same time frame it was temperature sensitive and one of the reasons Winchester stopped making it. I don't know if I would use the AA-1680 data...

    256 Mag, should a would a could a.

    I tried the 256 mag shooting IHMSA back in the early 1980's and at best it was marginal on chickens at 50 meters unless they were set to the back of the rail. the fairly flat trajectory made hitting the targets fairly easily but no knock down powder when it got to the target. at best it is a...
