Agreed. If I'm in violation of some "rule" that my continued participation in this Forum requires providing personal information, one would expect I would have been warned long prior to this. I am unable to find any such rule, nor have I claimed that my LE experience provides inerrant support...

Excellent point, I wasn't considering the top eject of the standard Winchesters.

Great suggestions all! I just picked up some Unique, HS-6, and Titegroup, and I've got bullets coming from Missouri. Looking forward to cooking up some variations to see what works best for me!

I don't know where you got that "sales" link, it's not on the page anywhere. Here's all the links: Original article: https://www.concealedcarry.com/news/armed-citizens-are-successful-95-of-the-time-at-active-shooter-events-fbi/ Link to pdf of article and data download, requires email address...

I don't expect to change the mind or even slightly influence those I'm jousting with here, but I'm compelled to post for the benefit of civilian lurkers. All these hopefully well-meaning admonitions that I (and you) need "more training so we'll understand" are not necessarily useful, and though...

Still haven't read your own signature lines, I see. ;):D

I'm looking for a lever action rifle, here's my criteria: No handgun calibers, strictly rifle Side loading gate Ability to use cast bullets in reduced loads for plinking High quality and totally reliable Ability to accept scope without looking ridiculous High capacity a plus $$$ not an issue...

I'm seeing a lot of ego in these posts, not uncommon on gun forums but honestly unexpected from their "staff". I too think your level of understanding - and social skills - could be greatly improved. If you were sincerely interested, I don't think I'd be seeing all these comments about...

I've never stated a belief that "we can quickly know enough about a person", nor did I claim that appearance would totally mitigate one's exposure. I merely stated "if you look like a dirtbag, you're more likely to be shot", and that my own appearance likely reduced this possibility. This is...

No rage here. Btw, there's some good advice in your signature... ;)

Lots of great ideas here, thank you! I think I'll pick up some Titegroup and Unique, and see what I come up with. This is a very valid point. I've been using 200gr for the sake of economy, but that's no longer an issue. I'm using two brand new Vaqueros, and I need to work up a good load...

First a moderator chastises me for something I never recommended, and stresses the "seriousness" of this forum: Then another moderator suggests a "fantasy" situation (in this desperately "serious" thread) based on a a total misrepresentation of my post: Yea. Really classy, guys - what a...

Ok, I can take a hint. Have fun.

Obviously good advice, but a sad testimony to the CYA attitude that permeates our society. We took a huge step away from civility when the courts decided LE has no obligation to protect our citizens. "Looking out for #1" used to be a catch-phrase for selfishness, now it's America's mantra.

It seems the majority response here is to simply run the other way and leave the victims to their plight. I may be old, but I find this response rather sad - and hypocritical. I'm sure most members here are 2A advocates who encourage citizens to be armed, but given these responses I have to...

My normal 45LC load is 200gr RNFP over 6.5gr Trail Boss, which Hodgdon lists as max, 855fps/11,000psi. I used this load for years in cowboy shooting, but it seems a bit on the dirty side and I'd like to try something different for the casual range shooting I do nowadays. I want full power...

Just what I needed, instructions on how and when to use emoticons. I did use one, guess it wasn't the right one. But no, I wasn't joking. Concerning this gem: I take particular exception to your removal of the picture I posted. BOTH individuals were white, is this why you removed it...

It's against my better judgement, but I'll reply for entertainment value only. First, if it were really this simple and you feel so strongly, why didn't you just post "Keep your head, get yourself and any loved ones out of the area and only display your weapon if you are directly confronted by...

Once again, I NEVER suggested that an armed citizen "go after" an active shooter, in fact, quite the contrary. And as far your your opinion of what does or does not "contribute to the conversation", it's just that: your opinion. We all see posts that we disagree with, and often it's best to...

@Jeff White - One must also realize that the members here comprise an extremely wide demographic. There are no singular "right" answers to the issues posed in this thread. Hopefully we can all benefit from suggestions made by other members, and incorporate these ideas into our own individual...
