    Rossi's best revolver ever made

    I would say that you are probably right.

    Kahr Arms?

    The K9 is my second favorite semi-automatic handgun, just behind the 1911. The MK 9mis a little small, but just the ticket if you need it.

    45 ACP...for a carbine

    I think that Longshot might just do what you are wanting to do. As I stated on the other forum, I loaded up some 185’s over a near maximum charge of longshot, Hornady manual, and got an average velocity of 1059 FPS out of my 5" 1911. Accompanying that velocity was a tremendous muzzle flash. Lots...

    Who Needs 450 Bushmaster When There's The 45-70?

    My opinion....the 45/70 is the better cartridge. I do have a 450 Bushmaster though. 2 of them. I got on the kick that I need a Ruger American Ranch or Predator rifle in every caliber that is available in the MSR. Gives me an excuse to build a MSR I guess.

    Which dies to buy

    I load for my MSR Rifles using the same press that you have. I have 223 Wylde, 300 BLK, 6.5 Grendel, 450 Bushmaster, and just recently started loading the 350 Legend. I use the Lee pacesetter dies to load all of these except the 6.5 Grendel. I have Hornady dies for it. I have never needed a...

    Light strikes on primers, why?

    Because the primer cup being pushed into the case is absorbing the power of the firing pin.

    Light strikes on primers, why?

    I have not read every post here, but you are getting good info from a lot of the posts I have read. Primers should be seated slightly below flush. If a primer is not fully seated the firing pin has to finish the job of seating the primer before pushing the priming compound into the anvil.

    Hog calibers

    Heard lots of tales about 400 pound wild boar. I have never seen one. And I have been hunting them for some 45 years or so. I have however seen some very large feral pigs. And the further east I travel the more common it is to see larger feral pigs. I have seen 300 plus pound feral hogs. Here...

    What's the story on the Mossberg 464?

    I have had the Davidson Exclusive Mossberg 464 Brush Gun for a bit now. Grey laminate furniture with a silver marine cote finish that looks like stainless. I really like it. With the short barrel it has a bit of a bark. It’s a 2 moa carbine, maybe a bit less. My intent was to turn it into a...

    Chupacabra

    A local here shot what he called a chupacabra a few years back. He showed it around and turned it in to a wildlife officer. I saw it and thought it was a coyote with no hair. It did look otherwise healthy (except for being dead) with no sores, not fat, but not malnourished either. The results...

    Why did you buy a suppressor?

    Just to save my ears. I like to hunt and shoot. I already have a 40% hearing loss due to nerve damage. If I live to be as old as my dad was, I have 22 years left. I want to keep the 60% I still have for those 22 years.

    Hog calibers

    I have hunted wild boar all my life. It’s kind of my passion. My hunting is done mostly with dogs and the range is usually close. Like almost point blank. Over the years I have found that any high velocity cartridge, preferably with a monolithic bullet, kills pigs all out of proportion to what...

    Budget 9mm pistol

    As a Ruger Fanboi I am going to put in a plug for the Security 9 as a budget 9mm. I have both the standard and compact. Very happy with both of them. My brother has a S&W SDVE. It is a very good one as well. Feels very good in the hand. I don’t think he has ever had any problems with it. His...

    300 BLK advice for a noob?

    It depends on you. For me? Absolutely. My 300 BLK brass is free. Yes, I have my time invested, but I look at it as time invested at the range. I enjoy handloading and I enjoy shooting. The time is a bonus to me, not a deterrent.

    300 BLK advice for a noob?

    I do like the 300 Blackout. Started back in the day when I shot a 30/221 AKA 300 Whisper in metallic silhouette. Today I have (had) 4 300 BLK Rifles and 1 300 BLK pistol. The H&R Single Shot and Ruger American Ranch Rifle along with the AR pistol and 2 AR rifles, all three Frankenbuilds. One of...
