Not me shooting, was at the indoor range and it was almost full of pistol shooters. As things are going along one fellow a couple of positions down from me lets loose with god knows what. Louder than heck and a big ball of fire. He manages to hit one of the overhead fire sprinkler system...
Cast lead 45 cal ammo (45 ACP) would be ‘softball’. Just lead with no jacket allows for bullet expansion and less penetration while jacketed 45 ACP (hardball) does not expand and pretty much punches right through with heavy penetration.
Have you changed your shooting routine over the last month or so? If you’re shooting a .357 magnum before your shoot the Kimber maybe you picked up a very slight twitch anticipating the recoil. Wouldn’t take much to be off the slight amount that you are seeing.
I would imagine that the parameters of the original post could prove deadly if the impact point were the neck, inner thigh, or inner arm and struck/severed a main artery. Victim could bleed-out in a very short time. Impact at the correct angle into the eye socket may cause critical brain damage...
If you go the store in attic route, put the hanguns in zip-lock style bags just to keep dust and bugs off. You might also consider placing them in clothes dryer or washer, maybe even a dishwasher. Not many crooks would look in those places.
Yes, I would donate a firearm no strings attached for a worthy cause. Too many guns that don’t get used anymore. Sort of donating to our church or Goodwill.
How about using nails or welding rod mounted vertical in the display boards. Punch out the primers in the cases and insert the rounds down onto the “nail/post”.
Instances such as these is about the only reason I go to a gun show anymore. Search around enough and you may find zip-loc bags of springs, roll pins or gun/scope screws. Then stop for some jerky or brisket to celebrate
Do a web search on “winchester ammo lot number” and you’ll get a lot of hits. Read through some of those posts to see if any data fits. Apparently Winchester lot numbers varied throughout the years depending on when the ammo was made. I check on a few of the posts but did not find your exact...
I use nitrile gloves when cleaning or working on guns. Mainly since I’m lazy and hate to wash my hands when I break for lunch. Just peel of the gloves and throw away. No oils/grease on the hands so no smells as you’re eating. I get mine at Harbor Freight but Home Depot, Publix grocery stores...
The OP was looking for gloves to be able to handle speedloaders and a revolver. No mention of hunting. Besides, if you’ re sitting in a blind hunting you can put your hands in your pockets or use hand warmers until a likely opportunity presents itself.
Do a search on biathlon gloves and look for Roeckl (sp?) brand. Since they can cross-country ski and then stop to shot very small targets they may be what you’re looking for.
