And of course you use a lever gun and iron sights!

YOU ARE THE BRUTE SQUAD! On another note, what firearm/load would you use for those giant rats in the fire swamp?

I was right at the end of a favorite TV show when my wife calls from the other room. There was a sense of urgency in her voice so I figured what the heck I can catch the program again sometime and went to see what she wanted. She was on the Amazon site and on the screen were boxes checked for Big Bo...

Just to be contrary, I voted for the black sheep of the 45-70 family.....450 Marlin. I have a 450 M which will be turned into a 16" Trapper on steroids. I just bought a Marlin Cowboy and I'm partial to both. I would like to scope the Cowboy with one of those modern period correct scopes 17"...

Too bad you can't have a mold made with a hollow center core. Then you could insert a precut tungsten rod to give it strength and weight. Or maybe you could have a mold made that holds the rod as the tin is poured in. Too bad Barnes doesn't license out their Silvex formula to commercial bullet caste...

I would think that the .357 cal full wadcutter would have a meplat of at least .35". That is larger than a lot of meplats on .429 hard cast bullets. Penn makes a 230 gr Thunderhead SOFT cast bullet for 38/.357 revolvers for guys that shoot bowling pins. The thing looks like a flying oil drum an...

12 or 20? Either way at close range defending loved ones, you'll need a lot of paint, wall paper and a good carpet steamer in the aftermath.

Tell the warden it's a mixture of tin and mercury and see if he/she has a sense of humor!

I bought her a black pearl and diamond necklace to offset the Marlin Cowboy I bought earlier in the week. She already had purchased her own MD present, a saphire necklace which was more than the Cowboy. But I learned that if I keep her one jewelry purchase ahead of my gun purchases everything stays ...

SD and BC for the Barnes XPB pistol bullets is why I bought a SBH instead of a Blackhawk in .45 Colt. The 225 gr 44 mag bullet has the same SD as the 250 gr 454 Casull bullet and much better BC. Plus, per Barnes the 225 gr bullet will hold together in both 44 mag carbine and 444 Marlin rifle velocit...

Nice. How would you deal with a wildlife officer? It's not like steel shot where they could be tested with a magnet, or like copper where they look a lot different. That's easy. Carry one of those "lead paint" testers with you. It should work for bullets too. I suppose the Game Wardens wi...

It could also be skewed by the fact that Winchester/USRAC is no longer making the Model 94 and Model 70, since their favorite choice was not available. To me the M70 Featherweight was the all time rifleman's rifle. It is purely subjective but I always had a soft spot for a slender stock with a strai...

I found this doing a quick search of the internet: M.G. Chemicals no clean Lead-Free Solder was designed with Sn/Ag/Cu (Tin/Silver/Copper) alloys as a lead-free alternative for the standard Tin and Lead solder. These alloys conform to the impurity requirements of J-Std-006 and RoHS. Use this solder ...

As another Kalifornian I am very interested in your results. Since these bullets are light for their size, they would be great practice rounds for the Barnes TSX caliber equivalent. Since copper doesn't weigh as much as lead, Barnes bullets are "long" for their weight....just as your bulle...

All I know of Scott is what he posts and from that I have come to the conclusion that he is a stand up guy. He also calls a spade a spade and that can annoy people at times. I also take Old Ironsights at his word that he didn't intentionally try to impune Scott. He stated this here and in another to...

It is amazing that not one of the PINHEADS that passed this ruling cared about people who eat the game that is shot with lead core bullets. No one eating venison ever wondered, gee where did the 30 gr of lead go when the recovered bullet was 120 gr instead of the original 150 gr. Most hunters try to...

The solution is so simple. Get a Marlin Cowboy. Put the largest mercury recoil reducer you can find in the buttstock. Get a spring for a guide gun. Get some copper tubing that will just fit inside the magazine tube and cut it to reduce the number of from 9 rounds to 4 rounds. Fill the tubing with mo...

If you need to stop an Impala (low rider) the Beartooth 525 gr boolits work well in an urban setting. Just don't stick around having pictures taken with your "trophy" when the SWAT team shows up!

I want to load the Barnes .451 300 gr Expander MZ bullet in the 45 Colt cartridge. There is no crimping groove because it is intended to be used with a sabot in a .50 cal muzzle loader. Per Barnes it is the same as the XPB pistol bullet design without the crimp groove. I assume that you wouldn't use...

Yellowhorse, I was at A Place to Shoot when a fire started from ammo. They brought 40 trucks and 3 helicopters and billed $11,000 - not what a range wants. Is it FMJ ammo that starts fires or surplus tracer ammo? I see a lot of Winchester White Box FMJ 223 ammo (and other brands) being sold for the...

I was going to use cast bullets for hunting but then the ever present do gooders got a ban on lead bullets in the range of the California Condor. I figure as they increase their range, the areas in which lead bullets may be used will decrease. Hence, the all copper Barnes bullet. Anyone have any rea...

I saw a diagram of a hog's vitals but can't remember where. The advice was to shoot through the shoulder, not behind it. On a deer the vitals are behind the front shoulder, on a hog the vitals are between the shoulders. This is for a picture perfect broadside shot. If the hog was at an angle you wou...

A Williams or Lyman receiver sight should help along with a Tru Glow or Firesight front sight. These 56 y/o eyes can't focus on factory equipment sights and all levers get receiver sights. If you have trouble focusing on the front sight, B. Jones Sights makes and optical insert that fits in a receiv...

How will this work with cases that have been reloaded four or five times?:wink: Next will come the requirement that reloading presses add a microstamp. Then a Lee Press will cost $1,179.95. :shock: If you pick up range brass to reload it could wind up with at least 2 different stamps. So if we swit...

I had both shoulders replaced with artificial joints. It is amazing what they can do now. My shoulders were so weak that I had to shoot pistols/revolvers with both hands in a modified Weaver stance with the elbow of my support arm resting of my abdomen. If I got down on the floor to play with one of...

I've used Googone with good results. It is good for removing tape goo and the goo left by price stickers.

Just cut the front of the Triple Shock X bullet until the tip is the same size as the tip on a Winchester Silvertip for the 30-30. The tips don't have to be REAL flat, just not pointed like a firing pin. You won't need to fill the hollowpoint as the leading edge of the petals that fold back will hav...

Just as an experiment I filed down the Delrin tip on a 150 gr Nosler Ballistic Tip so it was flush with the copper edge. The resulting meplat if you will was the same size to the naked eye as the meplat of a 150 gr Winchester Silvertip in a factory 30-30 cartridge. The meplat for the 150 gr Winchest...

Good luck getting Gov. Schwatzenkennedy to get rid of another RINO, although I hope he does. Anybody but Barnes make all copper bullets?

I can't sharpen knives, I make them dull. I bought a Chef's Choice Model 110 carried by Cabelas. It currently lists for $84.99. It is a 3 stage process that reshapes the angle of the cutting edge of the blade and then the next 2 stages sharpen the knife. It works on straight edge knives, not serrate...
