    Cellphone Video of Shooting In Texas

    Looks like murder to me, but I don't know Texas law. It was merely a verbal dispute until the shooter came out of the house with a Ruger PCC. The deceased collapsed on the porch, which appears to disprove the shooter's argument that he was advancing on him and had to shoot him in self-defense...

    Horror-of-horrors!!! I'm "THAT GUY" who hunts with an "assault weapon"

    I've been hunting with an AR for over 30 years. Contrary to popular anti-gun mythology I don't use a 20 or 30 round magazine so I can turn animals into hamburger. Why is that? One very practical reason is because lead and brass are pretty darn heavy and humping a bunch of useless weight...

    Sandy Hook: Looks can be Deceiving - Chances are it’s NOT an “Assault Weapon”

    According to news reports the Bushmaster rifle was purchased in compliance with Connecticut state law by Nancy Lanza. If this is indeed true, and the rifle was purchased from a firearms retailer, then, by law, it wasn’t a “semiautomatic assault weapon”. It would have been configured as a...

    Clearing stoppages with one hand

    About 30% of my training routine involves weak hand only manipulations, in case my strong hand becomes disabled during a fight. I don't bother much with strong hand only manipulations (in case my weak hand is disabled) because, except for using the index finger to engage the slide lock and work...

    Homemade Rack for Storing RCBS Pro-2000 Die & Shell Plates

    Been wanting to build one of these for a few years, this weekend I finally got around to doing it. Cost was about $10. The base of the rack is constructed of two-pieces of 1x6 pine plank (Lowe's "white board"), glued top to bottom. The top was drilled using a 15/16" paddle bit. I clamped...

    .223 55gr FMJBT, H322, 16.5" Bbl, and a Chronograph

    I took the day off work yesterday to hit the shooting range to chronograph a few .223 loads I'd worked up using H322. I use H322 because I want to use one propellant between .223 and 6.8. Way back in July 2007, before I relocated from Washington state to Florida, I chronographed Federal...

    RCBS Pro 2000 Cartridge Conversion Procedure

    Hey y'all: I'm a technical writer by profession. There are times when I go long stretches in between operating my Pro 2000 and as a result I get rusty with all the little things I need to do and keep in mind when I operate it and when I change the cartridges I load. I put together this...
