Comparing Garret Cartridges Hammerheads with various dangerous game 458 Magnum and 458 Lott loads, it seems that the heaviest bullets available are somewhere around 500 gr. This article (http://www.garrettcartridges.com/penetration.asp) claims that for a given weight (around 500gr)...

I have a pair of K-frame Smith & Wessons--M65 (stainless) and M13 (nickeled)--both have 4" heavy barrels. If you could, please help me sort out a few questions I still have. 1. Which is stronger for the purposes of *very* hot .357 loads? I suspect the M13 is a bit stronger due to being carbon...

I'm looking for a rifle or carbine with approximately 16" of barrel length and as close to the legal 26" overal length limit as possible. I want it to be quick and light, and most likely semi-auto (as opposed to lever, pump, bolt, etc. etc.). 10+ rounds capacity and detachable magazines would be...

I am trying to narrow down selection and standardize on a good 1911 magazine design. I have a few requirements in mind, so please look over these before suggesting 47Ds. :) -- 7 rounds -- feeding lips that are made tough and don't deform/open with time -- flat follower (with dimple) that...

I'm a Philadelphia resident looking into Delaware. My biggest concern is the "may issue" law. According to my research, getting a CCW license isn't tremendously difficult but one does need to provide 5 personal references, somehow justify the need and jump through other hoops. Can someone who...

S&B hardball is very affordable and otherwise nice ammo, but it has a strange "feature," if you will. I witnessed this with 45ACP, so I cannot speak for other calibers. The rims are beveled to the point that they are somewhat sharp. Did anyone notice that? No other .45 ammo I've seen has that...

I am trying to locate a quality gunsmith that specializes in 1911s and/or S&W revolvers perhaps within 30 minutes drive from Philadelphia area. Any suggestions of where to go, or whom to avoid are appreciated. If you have a first-hand experience, please let me know. I want to find a good...

I have a nice M48 mauser, and I found the 8mm cartridge, 8x57 JS--as sold by S&B--to be very appealing, and certainly similar to 30'06 in versatility. What if someone converted this rifle to fire the more powerful 8x64 load? It doesn't seem difficult, it's the same bullet diameter...

I am looking to pick up a model 65 or model 13. Can't choose between stainless or carbon w/ nickel finish. What years should I be looking for, and what are the going prices? Ideally, I'd want something like a 4" 65 with sq. butt, pinned bbl, not sure about the importance of a recessed cyl in...
