I use the FCD on my 45/70 cast bullet loads, on my 7.62 Nato and 30/284 (7.5X55 Swiss) when the bullets have cannelures. I took one look at the FCD for straight wall pistol dies and just laughed. Yea, sure I want to squeeze my bullets down undersize so they will lead the barrel evenly and...

Just sold off my 223 ammo. Almost all Wolf 55gr and some Silver Bear 62gr. All in all nearly 1600 rounds. Some in factory boxes and some loose in a bag. Sold the whole mess for twenty five cents a round and glad to get rid of it. No more tiny toy bullets for me. 7.5X55, 7.62X51, 45/70 or...

Another thing to keep in mind is that accuracy and velocity don't necessarily go hand in hand. Each rifle and to a lesser extent each pistol will exhibit different accuracy for a given load of any appropriate powder. Varget, H335, H4895, BLC2 are all of moderate burning rates. Each will...

My apologies for not answering sooner. Tanfoglio has a website and lists their phone numbers and email addresses. My information on the machining change in the round top slides came during a telephone discussion with an armorer in Italy. The Witness pistols are far more popular in Europe than...

Agree. 7.62X51 NATO and commercial 308 Winchester operate at virtually the same max pressure. They are measured differently, NATO is listed in CUP at 52,000 units and the commercial is generally listed at 62,000 pounds per square inch. They are absolutely not the same units. Finally, there...

All I shoot in my XD45 is cast. How are you lubing them? In several years and thousands of rounds I've never had to de-gunk the loaded chamber indicator, it is free to move as designed. My loads are 200gr cast semi wad cutters, tumble lubed in Lee Liquid Alox and then lightly coated with...

I've owned taurus pistols along with SA, Witness, S&W, RIA, Colt and Ruger. I've never had a problem with Taurus. I have even called them in Florida and had them send me replacement recoil springs for my PT145 Pro. No charge, they sent two sets of the double spring assys. I had a safety...

In my opinion, this goes a long way towards legitimizing the right to carry and raises the level of acceptance of that right to the same as a drivers license. All the sheeple accept drivers licensing without question, wouldn't it be nice if everyone accepted CCW permits in the same light?

PT145 MIL PRO my daily carry in and out of the house. It's on my right hip now in a crossbreed IWB. Had the second generation PT145 and upgraded to the new one a couple of years ago. Eleven rounds of 45acp w/barnes solid copper flyin' ash trays. Hard to beat. This pistol has never had a...

Bedside table has a nice colorful towel protecting the wood. On this towel rests my SA XD45 condition 1 with TLR1 resting next to my Fenix two cell light. I don't remember exactly how bright the Fenix is but as I recall it is over 200 lumens. On the wifes side she has her makarov and...

dirty chamber, weak recoil spring, damaged slide rails, improperly crimped reloads. Also watch the ejector on this baby, not the extractor. My 4516 went through many too many of these stamped tin little parts.

My 1895 uses Remington 700 bases. Medium should be high enough rings.

Don't "split the difference" for an '06. Great old cartridge but it won't do much of anything a 308 wont and requires a longer heavier rifle and more powder to do the same thing. If you really want long range like over 600 yards then you need a magnum. Either a 30 or a 7mm will do the long...

I've had AR15s a Genuine Colt Hbar A2. Piece of junk! Go to a range and shoot a few ARs then shoot a few AKs and decide for yourself. I have an AR10 and a Saiga converted to "evil black rifle" with all the AK type stuff in 7.62X51 not the little low powered X39 and of the two the Saiga is...

As HANDGUN rounds go, the 45acp is a good performer. As good as a 10mm? Maybe, maybe not, depends on the 10mm. As RIFLE rounds go, the 5.56 is mediocre to poor. When fired from a short barrel it becomes even worse. All the paper data read in reloading books is usually based on 20" to 24"...

Level 1 big gate across entry to driveway at bottom of mountain, locked at night. Level 2, 3 and 4 are three PIR motion detectors hidden along the half mile of twisting gravel drive that climbs nearly a thousand feet to the top of our "hill" each one makes a distinctive number of beeps when...

Lever actions, being somewhat lacking in accuracy anyway, my choice is the 45/70 with a Marlin 1895 and hot handloads. Good out to a couple hundred yards and that big punkin of lead will anchor whatever it encounters. Beyond two hundred yards, go for something more accurate than a lever...

Taurus PT145 Small, Light and eleven rounds of serious medicine. Very easy to shoot, soft two stage recoil system, hand filling grip with just enough room for all my fingers. Accurate too.

First and last name initials and first name. Pretty pedestrian huh?

Dan Wesson to be sure. Don't sweat the "straw purchase" a father buying a gift for his son is protected as are many other legal gift purchases.
