    Texas Toothpick

    In various catalouges and on websites I have seen a number of single blade folding knives called "small toothpick". These are almost always 3" folded. I also have seen a few "medium toothpick". These latter are 4 1/4" folded. I have never seen a "large toothpick". I wanted to ask you better...

    Hello, I have recently started casting some of my own bullets as a natural outgrowth of reloading.

    .45 SWC or TC

    I was wondering how many of you load semi-wadcutters or trunc-cones in .45 ACP? Have you had any feeding problems? I've just always used and/or loaded RN. I see them on the Missouri Bullet and Oregon Trail site and I just wonder...

    Cartridges or components?

    I was wondering... What do you think about this and why. I guess we all have a minimum number of loaded rounds on hand for our favorite guns but past that; is it better to just go all out and load up everything you have or just keep your minimum and then hold components in reserve. In my case I...

    .380 revolver

    I have seen Taurus' e-catalog and they are showing a .380, 5 shot revolver. Seems to me this would be a great BUG, or hideout gun. I've been all over the website and can't find the spec sheet they usually put up with barrel length, sights, etc. Now, with an ACP cartridge they will almost...

    Are they worth it?

    Well, time to load up for another season. I would like to ask you experienced re-loaders a question. First, I've been loading .243s with 100 gr Sierra Gamekings with no complaints AT ALL. And .308 Nosler Partitions are magic bullets for my son. So, as I leaf through the catalogues I see the...

    No cannelure

    I was out buying components and slipped up and bought 150gr hot-core bullets because I liked the shape of the round nose. The problem is there is no cannelure. I think I remember reading a thread here about loading these or similar for .30-.30 but I could not find it and I can't remember the...

    Hornady FTX

    I would like to hear how you're loading the Hornady 165 gr FTX for 30-30. I tried the search function and I tried their website. They list one powder and also mention that you may have to trim your brass specially for these bullets. I was at Cabellas' and picked up one hundred just to try...

    sectioned bullets

    I am just curious, has anyone seen a sectioned photo of a Sierra Game Kings. In the Cabella's Catalog they show every type and kind of projectile, even copper solids, in a section view, except Sierras. There is no real pressing reason I just wonder why. I'd like to see the make-up.

    Just checking, A NIB Charles Dailey with one ten rnd mag $425 out the door. A "rearsenalled" (sp) Argentine Hi-Power $350 with shipping, tax and something for the FFL guy. My first guess is that NIB anything is gonna be better than redone stuff; unless the redone thing is WAY better...
