Oly, send that rig over and when I get better I'll give it a test run. Maybe teach some cutie some sixgun work. :D :D :D I wish I had that rig! I think it's the one they presented to Charlton Heston.

I had that problem with mine at first and the gunsmith fixed it; I don't know what he did, but I would say yes, modification or smoothing would be a good idea. If you start having under the carrier jams, that tinfoil piece, I think it's the cartridge stop, needs replacing once in a while. You might ...

Nath I think I have that exact gun - Legacy .357, 24"?

My best shooter bar none. Shot a 37 in pistol cartridge silhouette with it.

El Chivo

So, slowly but surly will keep on keeping on

Keep it up but don't be surly. Attitude is everything.

Mine are more like #2, the idea for me is to find the sweet spot without lunging forward. I want to find a place that is repeatable against the stock, then when I look forward the scope is in the right place. As you know, with parallax, if you get a little off to one side you will get the aiming err...

IMHO the 357 Mag muzzle blast, wall penetration and flash would keep me from wanting it to be my first choice for HOME self defence. I want to be able to hear, see, and not be worried as much about innocent people in the house If I am in a shoot out with the intruder. Just my two cents, RR7 I'm wit...

El Chivo

the area in which you live may not be as depressed as you think - many times people can come up with money if the deal is good. Clean up the yard and set up some kiosks of junk, maybe advertise in the paper. Also, a friend of mine would put up a notice on Craig's List saying "Free Washer, still...

El Chivo

Well I got started late in life and have no guns with family or other sentimental ties. I have carried certain guns more than others, and got game with one. I've also shot a lot of silhouette with some. I would say I value the most accurate, least fussy guns the most. That would be my Winchester Leg...

well then I think .357 magnum is your axe...it is the leader in one-shot stops in police use. Even 44 mag had a lower rate of one shot stops.

just a thought - he might be on his way back to Minnesota...

Pitchy - OS has him:

Good luck!

El Chivo

I see lots of lame shots in movies. They have the squibs, and blood, but they still blow it. Like a guy is shot in a restroom, with a mirror behind him. The shot sprays blood on the mirror, but the mirror doesn't break. One I noticed in Saving Private Ryan, they put talcum powder in there so a big p...

El Chivo

You essentially want him to change his mind about being in your house. I heard if you put a 158 grain slug in someone's medulla oblongata, it rings their bell. Seriously, I think OS is looking for technical attributes. - transfer of energy - penetration - expansion - hydraulic shock - blood loss - w...

and the paper immediately went out and hired armed guards for their office - with no death threats claimed or mentioned. There was a post going in Politics - maybe it should be changed to "Newspaper Publishes Guide for Burglars and Murderers". http://www.levergunscommunity.com/viewtopic.ph...

El Chivo

Buuuuuut........... The least bit of barrel movement while shooting will usually throw shots wider with the shorter barrel, given the same bit of movement with each length. . I don't think so..... the muzzle end of the barrel will move farther the longer the barrel.... Longer barrels have a moment ...

El Chivo

I can't on #3. Hobie would ban me. Besides, I don't have a telephoto lens on my camera. --------Sixgun

Actually what you need is a macro lens.

El Chivo

another consideration is barrel harmonics may be better with a shorter tube - being stouter, won't whip as much. Also the bullet is out of the muzzle sooner and less subject to tremors if your follow-through isn't perfect. ------------------------------------------------------------- Although there ...

El Chivo

probably just some temporary blindness due to white-out conditions.

El Chivo

Wow it's 3 years later and I can update my previous post. I think Trailboss is consistent in accuracy, but not great. Some other powders can give me tighter groups but then go wild if I try a different caliber or strength. Trailboss was always ok but never great. But I can get slightly better accura...

El Chivo

to use the binocs with my glasses on, just see a small circle. I think that's the main problem; it's much better to get closer and have that nice field of view. The focus on the binos will adjust for distance, so all you need to correct is the astigmatism. Small lenses can be ground with just the a...

what is this, another soapbox for you to crow about your superiority over the rest of us? I guess we don't have to bother because you do so much. Don't sprain your arm patting yourself on the back.

does that mean the bullets will come out spinning in the opposite direction?

El Chivo

Well, the real requirement for safety is more room in the case rather than less. A lighter bullet normally leaves extra room in the case, but one that pushes in further, leaving less room in the case might be unsafe. I have an example; 2 bullets for 35 Rem, a 200 grain jacketed has the crimp mark at...

El Chivo

I heard they were phasing out all the IMR's where there were duplicate numbers, and keeping the H's.

However some people are still finding the discontinued ones.

I believe the H's were re-done to be "extreme" powders, not affected by heat or cold.

El Chivo

and if you need some filler you can just pinch some off

I have had similar experiences the last few years. I would still like to hunt, but this year rolled over and slept in 4 out of 5 opportunities. Partly work is getting too tiring, but partly it's the slobs. Many parts of the forest have been closed for 3 years now due to a fire that is long over, and...

That's the first thing I noticed was her nice jaw line. Some women have bone structure and some don't.

I met a guy with one of those CZ carbines and he said it was very accurate. Nice size and appearance. I covet that gun, but it doesn't come in lefty. I think you could compare that cartridge to .308 more closely than 30-30. Same case, spire point, and more capacity. I believe I read the .308 has mor...

any relation to the departed sports announcer from Chicago?

El Chivo

Mine was also fairly recent, about 6 years ago. I was loading .357 magnum, a reduced load for silhouette. I remember I had trouble crushing cases, I had the die threaded too far in and when the case met the die, it was still possible to push farther with the hand press and crush the case. Figured th...

I just got the larger 357/38 and really like the balance. Shot quite well, felt great, not too heavy. I liked it better than the Rugers I tried. I want to get the counterpart in 22lr.

El Chivo

I love those Constellations too. Saw one at an airshow, got to tour the inside for $1.00.

Kind of small inside. What impressed me the most is when it was coming in, they touched down, the pilot reversed the pitch on the props and that airplane stopped on a dime. Most amazing thing I ever saw.

El Chivo

Yes; all I really had in mind were mashed potatoes with gravy. I realized I don't particularly care for the other stuff, but mashed potatoes with gravy is IT. I heated up the chicken broth and started stirring in flour and corn starch, and unfortunately got lumps. I decided to quit with the stove, a...

I once saw a football game where the offense was starting on their own 3 yard line. They ran a play from scrimmage and the running back found a hole, jinked a couple of guys, and ran 97 yards for a touchdown. Now, running backs average about 4 yards per carry. Shouldn't he have stopped at the 7 yard...

Back in Chicago there was a guy who, on rainy days, would be waiting at the subway exit with umbrellas for sale. He'd hand it to you partially open as you paid and you didn't even get wet. He got wet, but you didn't. If you wanted a cheaper/better umbrella you could run a few blocks in the rain and ...

I live in Hurricane Alley (Texas Gulf Coast) and when one of those darlings hit, the price gouging for building materials, generators and gasoline starts.

if you want portable power for an amp, consider a car battery with a converter (available at auto parts stores). The converter converts the 12VDC to AC.

I have seen a musician at the Santa Monica Pier using such a rig with his amp and electric guitar. Loud and lasts several hours.

the caliber you picked is on the charts as being just in the range of what most people find to be too high recoil. I've stayed away from it for that reason. I don't like recoil or noise. I have gotten nauseous from shooting 35 Rem and 12 gauge on the bench - but in the field it's a different story. ...

One thing I always wanted to know about was electronics; how to make stuff out of capacitors, resistors, etc. I recently bought a kit to make a small amp which will be used to boost coyote calls. It didn't take long and was extremely satisfying to complete. It worked great for a few minutes, then I ...
