    New Gun restriction proposals in Alabama...anyone heard about this elsewhere?

    "Their" tactic is to flood the floor with bills. Or the California tactic, pass so many small gun laws it would take so long to overturn them all.

    .45 vs .357 buffalo boar for bear defense

    Everyone freaks out thinking bears are bullet proof. They are not. I'd personally take the 357 mag over the 45. Last Spring I went bear hunting with a 30-30. You don't need a 338 Lapua like everyone says.

    Would You Trust Your Life With A .380?

    No, I don't feel confident with a .380 (or 38 special or 9mm).

    Revolvers

    I bought a Taurus Judge thankfully for cheap at a gun show. It was junk. I will not give Taurus another chance.

    10mm ammo uses?

    I roll my own: 180 gr XTPs going about 1300 fps; and yes there are moose and grizzly bears here. I'm sure there are some internet ballistic experts that will tell me I should be carrying something else. They also make a 200 gr XTP, and there are some 220gr hard cast bullets if one would want...

    I read an article looking at 7.62x39 in a semi auto with the action cycling and also fixed closed. The cycling function was 1/200th slower.

    Which would you shoot? GP100 vs Trooper MK3

    I take my pre-64 Winchester 30-30 hunting along with my limited edition 2015 Ruger 35 Whelen. When I am on my death bed I wont be saying, "I wish I kept those guns in the safe."

    Do you break in your carry pistol with 500 rounds?

    I've never thought too much about it, but I will run a couple boxes through the gun before I will carry it. Both of my Glock 20s needed a couple hundred rounds through them to run at 100%. But I also shoot reloads so that could be on me.

    Interesting email from Amazon

    I have shipped ammo through Fed Ex and UPS. Sadly a lot of the time it depends on you end up with behind the counter when shipping things. I had a phone conversation with someone pretty high up with Fed Ex, and they said they would deliver/ship ammo if it was picked up at my house in a prepaid...

    Speer 38 special vs 9mm

    I like it how people compare 9mm +p to a snub nose 357 mag. A 357 magnum excels out of a 6 inch barrel. I would not take a 6 inch 9mm as a backup for bear hunting.

    How do we properly dispose of spilled gunpowder?

    I throw it on the lawn, well right now throw it on the snow. Eventually it will make it to the lawn.

    Ruger Redhawk 41 Magnum Snub

    Just make sure you use 300mp powder when ya load up some ammo. I did and was shooting the 3 inch j-frame 357 mag. The range master came over and asked what flame thrower I was using.

    10mm or 45 acp for self defense

    I shot a chipmunk with a 10mm, and was able to stop the threat before he became too aggressive. I think it would work on a human also.

    reloading 7.62x39 for Mini-thirty - bullet selection

    I know a guy that shot a black bear with a mini-30. I never did ask him what type of bullet/ammo he was using. I load soft points for my mini-30, 310 cal.
