    What's your .38 Special Target load?

    2.8 grains of Bullseye has been THE load for lots of decades. as many lot numbers have gone by, i would use that for a starter load. as a rule of thumb, vertical stringing is an indicator of too much of a load as horiaontal stringing is of a weak lopad. some of this could be attributed to...

    Anyone else hesitant about $40 media separators? (I guess this is a product review)

    after a report like this one, the need for a separator is getting strong. however, most of my reloading is of big straightwall pistol rounds and i just get a few from the media and shake them a little. i size and deprime before cleaning, checking the primer hole before putting them in the...

    How much reloaded ammo do you keep on hand?

    i keep at least 200 rds of everything i shoot on hand, so far, that seems enough, but, diff ppl have diff needs. you will just have to do a little record keeping, but, keep enough backup for "emergencies". to each his own.

    Just Bought another .41...was it worth it?

    did you make a buy - yep. is it a good investment - yep. it is already worth way more than you paid. every day that passes, the value goes up. in a decade, yours will be the only one for sale in the box and in that condition. then in another year, you will be kicking yourself as look what...

    Marlin 336, 1911, and an 870. good all-around combo?

    there is much much more to surviving in the wilderness than guns and ammo. i consider guns to be for self defense for you can harvest more food with a fishing rig and a few snares than you ever could with firearns, and, silently. very important. put on your go to hell clothing, shoulder...

    Just Wanted To Share The Good News

    you are fortunate indeed. i have had it both ways. after the first one told me that either the guns go or she was. she did. from then on, the first date was a shooting one and thats where they got culled until the present (near 28 years) one. i could brag on this one for on and on. she is...

    Which Alamo Movie Do You Prefer?

    i was in San Antonio in the 60s for a pistol tournament. i asked a local where the Alamo was. go to this street and turn left. k, i did that and drove to the edge of town. no alamo. i stopped at a gas station and asked. i went back the way i came, watching on my right and there it was. i...

    Is there a super good publication on pistol shooting technique?

    i too would reccomend the AMU publication. AMU has produced more top shooters than the rest combined. after reading everything there is, you will realize that the underlying factor is the same in them. it all comes down to grip, stance, sight picture and trigger control. of these, trigger...

    TC Contender - Opinions?

    in a word YES. fun, accurate, and an effective hunting arm. if you are into fun and accuracy, this is the gun for you. only problem is picking the next barrel you want. expensive? not really if you compare the price of another gun to the price of another barrel. and, TC is a good...

    Would you still reload?

    Reloaderfred offered my opinions except for the different calibers he ejoys. i am more into the buck and roar of more modern magnums. lightening killed my TV and saved me a bullet. last evening we had a dandy rainstorm that the weather guesser said was five inches. it was a great time...

    .32 acp rimlock

    i bought a KT P32 a few years ago and picked up a couple boxes of ammo at the same time. i set out to function fire the little thing and experienced rimlock in the first mag. i cleared all these and dropped them in my shirt pocket. later examination showed the rimlocks to have rims too thick...

    Burned out with guns?

    i know what you mean. my safe gets fuller and my purchases get further apart. i think i could write a book on my experiences over the last fifty years. i still have the passion for shooting, but. i find myself going to the range less and then with the same old guns, over and over, and that...

    One gun?

    one gun?? how could one possibly do that. i like the bag of golf clubs analogy. i started out with a BB rifle when i was 5 and i still have it along with many other guns i have "had to have" over the years. most are dear to me, thats why i bought them. one gun, im not smart enough to figure...
