Years ago I read an article by a guy that had numerous close range encounters with big cats in the jungle and he made a good argument for an open bore 12 gauge with number 1 buckshot. He liked the 3" mag version with 24 pellets. It seems no. 1 buckshot packs perfictly in a 12 gauge bore, 4 per...

I find the older I get the better I shoot the shorter barrels. I used to do great with the 8" guns but now don't. I can't even see both sights at the same time on a rifle! I can still kick the kids butts with a 4" 29 on our 9" gong at 100 yards though! Sight alignment is the important thing with...

I have read about eye wittness reports of the hide streching out as much a 3 feet and popping back without the bullet exiting.:what: Tough to get through the far side when all the energy is gone.:cool:

I read some time ago that if you don't shoot your gun you are just saving it for somebody else to have when you are dead and gone. I hope all my guns are worn out by the time I die. If I get something too nice to shoot, I sell it to a collector and buy 3 more in lesser condition to shoot!!! :D

Just goes to show gun value books are good for the gun dealer to pull out when he wants to show the customer what his gun is worth trade in. If you look in the forward section of Fjestad's book, I believe he also says the 100% values for numbered models assume with box and all accessories. Our...

I have to agree with that 100%. The vast majority of deer my kids and I have killed have been with the 150 grain Speer SBT and the Hornady 150 grain Spitzer out of 308's and 30'06's. In fact, I had to back the velocity off some on the 308 150 Speer (chronographing 3025 out of my Sako) because...

They have them at Mid South Shooters Supply. Many of their items are cheaper than Ebay and they are super quick on shipping...same day most of the time. If you have a business address they can ship to, the shipping is super low. The last order I did with them was for rings, base, two boxes of...

I have a bullet feed system that was made by C-H a while back. Mine is in 223 but they made it in 30 cal also. I believe they said they would make it in any caliber. It is simply a die with a ball bearing clutch system and a tube full of bullets. As a case is fed up into the die the bullet...

I shot a deer 3 years ago with the then new 130 grain 270 cal SST. Ruger 270 Winchester No. 1A 22" barrel, about 3000fps. It was at about 350 yards and the performance was unbelievable. It made a fist size hole going in and a 00 buckshot size hole going out. They (Hornady) claim it fully expands...

There was a 30 TCU but Thompson never chambered it that I know of. The 300-221 (300 Whisper) is a great round and may be what you are looking for. It will drive a 125 grain bullet over 2000fps and will drive a 200 grain bullet over 1400!! For varmits, 110 grain hollow points can run as high as...

You would be amazed at what they will make. And they don't really cost as much as you would think, especially if you are comparing to ebay prices. Click on the link below: http://foxridgeoutfitters.com/section.cfm?section=16 Ya, I'm hooked too. I have been a long time 30 Herrett fan, 10"...

Since it neck sizes only, you will get GREAT ammo out of one of these tools!:)

I picked up a 7mm AI Ruger 77 tang saftey at a gun show a few years back(2 or 3). It had bad headspace with standard 7mm Mauser brass so I used 8mm Mauser brass to fireform. There were some bad scraches in the chamber. I lost interest and dumped it. Too bad it was rechambered. I like the old...

The No. 3 was marked for calibers and came with replaceable dies. It could be converted to most cases that used the same shell head as the one stamped on the handle. Some calibers are quite collectable. This tool pre-dated the more modern universal (Small & Large) tong tools. Pick up an old...

RCBS people are the best in the business to deal with. Ask them to send two bolts in case it happens again (unlikely it ever will, but to be safe). Also, if you need any other RCBS parts, now is the time to ask. They send parts free and are very nice about it. I have 5 Piggybacks and do not like...

The 445's can chamber and fire the 44 Mag and 44 Special with no problem other than a ring of crud might build up in the chamber that needs to be cleaned out before fireing 445 Super Mags again. If you don't clean it, you may have difficulty extracting the 445 case (like the dirty ring from...

Should have two cylinders but extra cylinders come up on Ebay often enough. How much??

These are super underlooked guns. In my area a Model 18 4" 22Lr will bring amost $500 but its hard to give away a Model 15. I bought a four screw from a dealer for $225 a few years back and thought I got a good deal untill last spring when I bought another 4 screw for $175!! The guy brought it...

Like the 125 grain Remington Golden Saber bullet. They have one for 38's and one for 357's. At a casual glance, the unloaded bullets look the same. Closer inspection reveals that the 38 has a deeper hollow point and little flutes down the side from the nose. Fireing into water (I live on the...

Wow! A thing of beauty!!! You will never regret that decision!!!!!;)
