    45-70 load question

    i've found the best all around load for my trapdoor is 28 grains of 4198 and a 405 grain bullet but that will shoot a little high with the rifle sights, a 500 or 530 will fly right on the mark, i had to custom file my rear sight to get the 405's to fly right, but it's a flat shooting load for a...

    A thread for the New Yorkers here.

    as an otr truck driver, if i had the last load of dog food in the world and had to take it to new york, every dog would have to starve to death, i stopped delivering there a long time ago. they made their perfect hell, so i let them live in it without me, that's my opinion, Texas is 1 of 50...

    Poll: Should teachers. administrators, staff be armed in schools?

    it's already done in Texas, school districts are allowed to have their own campus police dept. and smaller districts that can't afford it give letters to carry CHG's on campus, i'm a bit of an ass to say this, but if it's good enough for Texas, then it's good enough for the rest of...

    9mm carbine, worth it?

    i've had two beretta storms, and a high point, i've been kinda diapointed in 9mm as a carbine round, general rule for all pistol cartridges is 25-30 fps per barrel inch, so a 16" barrell will add 11" of velocity (250-325) some where's in that range, all variables considerd, anyway, a 9mm becomes...

    Does/did anyone make a SAA/Peacemaker-"style" revolver in double action?

    the biggest problem with the open top colts is all the force of the round and energy pust down on the barrel assy. the brass frame is compressed over time and you can fix that and tighten the gun back up by adding a brass sleeve between the barrel and the frame,....if your gonna shoot it alot...
