    Federal Flite Control enhanced 12 gauge #1 buckshot loads (2.75" and 3")

    Ever wonder what 12 bore Flite Control performance with .30" pellets would look like? Yes, I know the only Flite Control #1 buckshot rounds use(d) the smallest pellet that can be labeled #1B. Yeah, those .285"-.286" diameter 33 grain pellets. But just what would a load using actual .30"...

    20 Gauge Buckshot - Federal/Remington should dump #3B and #2B for #1B

    Some thoughts for discussion: All current domestic 20 Gauge buckshot cartridgess use a gas seal, filler wad and buffer. That's right, no shot cup. And considering current #1B offerings in other gauges run to pellets of .285" diameter, it seems a change to #1B in the 20 bore be a welcome...

    Light weight 3 inch K-Frame 38SPL+P

    I wish S&W would make a basic 3 inch barrel aluminum frame, fixed sight K-Frame 38SPL+P revolver. I believe such a "Pro-Model" revolver with a flush to the frame spurless DAO hammer would appeal to a lot of revolver lovers - without breaking the bank. I suspect the empty weight would come in...

    Question for deer hunters who use Buckshot

    This is a buckshot discussion not a slug discussion: For those who depend on the multi-pellet strike of buckshot to bring home the venison, what is the minimum pattern standard you use to determine the maximum range you will fire on a deer with #1 Buckshot or 00 Buckshot? What criteria did...

    Just What Is Buckshot?

    Well, what is buckshot? We see the term used everyday, but is the term "buckshot" market driven and changing , or is it fixed and unchanging?

    Special Taxes only on Guns and Ammunition

    An interesting conflict of interest: An NRA lobbyist... "argued against a new tax on ammunition. He said it would interfere with the 2nd Amendment right to own firearms." http://www.bnd.com/2012/03/01/2080177/house-panel-approves-bills-on.html Is there any argument the NRA could...

    S&W's Failure Prone Internal Lock

    In the current climate of internal locks on some handguns and not others, S&W's ILS is the center of controversy. Why? It appears the flimsy appearing mechanism and default lock postition are the key points of customer angst. The time has come for S&W to abandon this failed lock system and...

    New S&W - NO ILS

    "...the times they are a changing...." S&W is actually advertising several revolvers as having "...no internal lock"! http://www.smith-wesson.com/wcsstore/SmWesson2/upload/other/2010_S&W_Catalog_3.pdf I am looking forward to a 686 Pro-Series 6 shot .357 Magnum with no internal lock!

    Unconstitutional regardless of who benefits!

    Special taxes on a civil right are unconstitutional regardless of who benefits! In the wake of the Heller decision, it is time for the shooting industry to file lawsuits challenging special firearms and ammunition taxes on 2nd Amendment grounds - even those taxes that benefit hunting and...
