"Just looking....." in either a motorbike shop or a gun store is awfully hard on
my wallet. I've got the garage and the safe to prove it, too!!

Too bad it wasn't 150 years ago - he never would have made it to jail.

Nice combo! Try 7.0 gr of 231 under a 215 gr LSWC for a light load in your revolver. Several of us at my local club have had outstanding success with this load. Speer's 210 gr Gold Dot over 18.5gr of 2400 works well as a hotter load. I haven't yet tested the same bullet over H110, although I have a ...

If you want to, go for it. Being better educated is almost always a positive thing. It might also help you get better employment in the future. Study what you're interested in. My degree is in Early Music (music before 1750) Performance. Believe it or not, it's helped me to get several jobs. I gradu...

5 different cartridges in one gun 6pt?!

That's gotta be a record of some sort.

A different caliber in each chamber!

I agree with previous posters that it has probably been fading since it's inception. IMHO, it's a terrific, and very much under-rated cartridge. With 7.0 gr. of 231 pushing a 210 gr. LSWC, it's very accurate, easy enough on the hands to shoot all day, and has PLENTY of power for a self-defense round...

That is too close for comfort! I'm glad everybody is physically okay, but it may take a while to get over their fear.

We have neighbors in a similar situation. The couple was married and had two boys. The husband decided he wanted to be a girl, had it all cut off, and still lives with the two kids and the woman he originally married. He lives and acts like a woman. The two kids are nice kids - and are teased absolu...

Like some others have said, racking the slide is more a matter of technique than strength. Massad Ayoob has some good advice in, I think, "The Gravest Extreme". (One of his books, anyway....;-)) I let my wife pick a carry gun she liked, and she came back with a Ruger (P85?) - a HUGE semiau...

MountainSmith - I think you did just fine with the 44. I happen to love the 41 Mag, and there's a lot to be said for the 357, but in the hands of someone who knows what they're about, a 44 Mag levergun is NOT to be trifled with. Practice getting your first round on target as fast as YOU can ACCURATE...

Yeah, Hobie - I've got to agree with you on most of that. They are a long way from perfect, but they are the biggest game in town. I don't like their compromises, either. The enemy preceives the NRA as the big, bad, wolf, and we should do everything in our power to help them continue to do so. We ar...

The decision, while not perfect, could have been MUCH worse. At the very least it puts a BIG roadblock in the way of any jurisdiction that would attempt to outlaw handguns. The fact that the court admitted what anybody can read for themselves - that the right to bear arms is an individual right - ta...

I like the way these guys have set up their forum. I also like their completely irreverent attitude towards politics, whining, complaints, and suchlike.

I'd start out like the other guys say - buy the best you can afford. Lyman's Crusher, RCBS, and the Lee Classic (the cast iron one) are all first-rate presses that will last a lifetime.

Some folks are a bit full of themselves here - but that's a danger on the internet. Still, this is mostly a FUN forum - and there is an enormous amount of knowledge here. Some of it even concerns leverguns! Read the current thread on the 30-30 vs. 32 Special - that's more like it. :) I certainly fel...

In the woods, lakes, and mountains of rural Amercia, the 35 Remington has been proving it's superiority over weedy, small-bore, flash-in-the-pan cartridges like the 30 WCF and (the clearly superior but in no way close to the 35 Rem) 32 Special since 1906. Men of taste and distinction have known this...

That Remington Core-Lokt is a first-rate bullet. It was designed
back in the '30s, but they got the design right the first time.
They shoot fine in my 35, too. Terminal performance is
terrific on game as well.

Yep, horsesoldier - that's why the oil companies didn't yell too loudly when they were told to mix alcohol with the gas. Add alcohol, lower the mileage, and the oil company still sells the same amount of gasoline. Big agri-business makes a killing off of government subsidies, and EVERYBODY ELSE gets...

From what I've read, your doctor shouldn't have let you out of the office with BP numbers like that!

Does anyone make an ankle holster for it?

THAT is terrific news!!

I have a close friend whose sister has been diagnosed

Sounds like fun, Wildmanh! Somthing was bugging me, so I looked up the 125 gr. loads in Speer's manual #13. In the pistol section for the 357, they recommend against magnum primers with 2400 these days as high pressure can result. No such caution in the rifle section, though. Hmmmm. In the pistol se...

scr83jp - you've got the scenario right. Rack a pump once - just once - and you've PROBABLY stopped the show. Aim and press the trigger once, and you've CERTAINLY stopped it!

Don't know, GunBuff. Look up the specs on the Stack-On safe, look up some specs on other safes, decide what you needs are and your comfort level is, and go from there.
