    Rubber Bullets

    Thinking up making up some 45 Colt loads with rubber bullets for dog and coyote deterrents. Will these work adequately at say 25 to 30 yards? Has anyone tried a bit of powder or perhaps used magnum primers instead of standard to get a bit more speed? I see you can get factory brass in 45...

    Shot my 32's today

    I finally got to the range to shoot my 327's. My taurus keyholed all the Fiocchi 32 S&W wadcutters. I'm not sure why -- too slow, poor rifling??? My single seven shot them just fine. It did just fine with the 327's but extraction was a bit tough. Those 327's were factory Federal 100gr JSP's...

    Largest shot size for a full choke

    In general, what is the largest size shot in a 12Ga that patterns well out of a full choke? I'm looking at long range coyotes, so I need enough penetration at 50/60 yards. I would think turkey loads, which are typically BB to 2 would pattern well, but that seems a bit small for the penetration...

    Flying with ammo

    We seem to cover how to properly secure and check guns for flying, but I haven't seen ammo covered much. It seems most of the airline rules want "cardboard, fiber, or wood" containers for ammo. Where do you find that? If you buy ammo new, it will most likely come in a plastic box. Some of the...

    Marlin 1985 410 shotgun

    Anyone know anything about the Marlin 1985 lever action shotgun chambered in 2.5" 410? Cabella's seem to have a run of these in their advertising, but I don't see it on Marlin's site nor know anything more about it than what the Cabella's add says. Is the choke fixed or changeable? If fixed...

    How is Mukasey?

    Anyone know the history of the new AG Mukasey? Hard to be worse than Gonzales, but you never know where George finds his people. If he's of the pro gun mindset, it was sly to pick a New Yorker to keep Schumer somewhat pacified.
