I’ve shot 240, 270 and 300 grain bullets. All seem to be accurate enough out to 100 yards. My carbine has the factory bead with a Lyman tang peep. The 300 grain cast load from Federal has great penetration, as in through the long way on a deer. Can be a bit hitchy feeding though. All the jacketed bu...

I’ve seen WRF ammo in my LCS recently. Will probably be there another 20 years

44shooter

A lot of practice loads like Winchester white box and UMC are no where near max and often less than standard specs and run well in most guns. In my 1911 even starting loads of Unique behind a 230 grain run just fine.

44shooter

Maybe Russian cases would work better? Will the 45 acp loads cycle an auto?

44shooter

I think there is something to the sight radius advantage of longer handguns. I shot a friends 10 inch barreled Mark II, and it was remarkable how easy were getting hits on pretty small targets beyond what most people call handgun ranges. while he was practiced at it, I was not although I have a 6 7/...

44shooter

Lots of powders will work for both. I like Power Pistol and Unique. Power Pistol seems very efficient with regards to velocity for pressure. Unique is just so versatile across the board.

44shooter

How do you like your Hi-Point?

44shooter

OP makes a great point. Although I have 22 and 44 combos, I have never carried both in the field simultaneously, only at ranges. I’ve carried a shotgun and 22 pistol, high power rifle and a 38, a 22 rifle and a magnum pistol. Combos made more sense in a different time when travel was rough and long,...

1965-1970 Kennedy halves are 40% silver, .1479 Troy oz each, about seven in a Troy ounce. A roll is around seventy some bucks retail.
I only got six clad Ike bicentennial dollars at face last week at the bank

44shooter

Rossi is using the 410 frame they use for those small matched pairs for kids. It's never going to be a 454 or equivalent. It is what is and that's a cheap pistol that can shoot 410 and standard 45 Colt fairly well. I don't know what it is about slugs that are unsafe though. The Rossi 410 is substant...

Ammo costs, lower recoil, shootability. Same reason people buy 357 over a 44, or a 6.5 Creedmoor over a 338

44shooter

I have a rangefinder that the rubber coating turned sticky. My dad's M70 has a Duratouch coated plastic stick that turned sticky too. Winchester repeating arms replaced his stock with a non coated one. I haven't reached out the Bushnell yet. Both are products from around the turn of this century des...

44shooter

I actually would prefer a 350 M4 ish over the same in 223. Bigger hole, more wallop out to about 200. I still rather hunt with almost anything other than an AR

44shooter

I thought the patterns were impressive and that one group of 45s was pretty good too. Would have liked to see some 20-25 yard patterns. Could be a decent utility gun. I do not care if I never fire a 410 slug. Why would I want to if I can use a heavier, cheaper and better constructed 45?

44shooter

I would think 357 Max would be a better revolver cartridge with the rim headspacing, ability to use magnum and special, and roll crimped bullets. These guns are too big for my taste but a 445 (stretched 44) could be useful for the same reasons.

44shooter

That’s about as cheap as I can get a my Single-Six reblued by Ruger

44shooter

Has anyone ever really used a handgun to fight their way to a long gun and transitioned it into the fight? Sounds like a video game. I'd prefer to use whatever I had at hand to kill the guy, drive him away or enable my retreat altogether. I'm not a AR guy. I do look at them, have fired one, and have...

44shooter

They made something similar a few years ago and dropped them. The previous ones looked like a Marlin as well and had white line spacers. These look better IMO

44shooter

I imagine a lot of folks impulse buy Heritage revolvers. They are cheaper than some people’s weekend bar tab are are in every box store that sells handguns.

44shooter

I saw an absolutely beautiful sporterized Springfield at my LCS for $500 if you’re interested. It was too heavy for my tastes but very classy. I think your Remington would be easier to sell than that 03 but not enough to matter if the other floats your boat. I tend to like crf over pushers too. I es...

44shooter

Pull through is nice for a touch up. I use those bore snakes if I want a quick wipe. You still need a rod for vigorous cleaning or dislodging mud or a stuck bullet

44shooter

It is a desperation measure with a low success rate and often causes multiple rib cage fractures. Context of the condition of the patient is everything. My mentally disabled uncle was resuscitated and had broken ribs. He later had DNR orders as he had a terminal condition he died from a few months l...

44shooter

Sweden was neutral just like Switzerland

44shooter

The Henry reminds me of a...revolver, lol, So.... what revolver nowadays would you consider?.....assuming I was in the market again. S&W, Ruger, Colt, Kimber for similar money. Charter, RIA, NAA, Ruger Wrangler, maybe Taurus or Rossi on the cheap. Top of the line Colts or S&W, the BFR, or F...

44shooter

Yes. I could deal with it for cheap or free but not a grand

44shooter

To me they look like what might happen if Uberti reproduced Charter Arms or H&R revolvers and threw their brass grip frame treatment in and put it in a blister pack to sell at Cabelas

44shooter

45 Colt if we are talking six guns like the SAA or Blackhawk. I would pick a 8 shot 357 N frame over a model 25 on the same frame. I would honestly feel well armed with either round but hate to fight with either if that makes sense

44shooter

5-6 empties in the air from a SAA? As in you eject your last before the first hits the ground?

44shooter

I suspect there is a lot more money to be made in assembled ammunition over components. Particularly if you have contracts

44shooter

Those are definitely Colts, and they are a pair btw.

44shooter

Well I’m certainly no prude but go by the adage of there is a time and place. I’d be embarrassed to show those to anyone. The stocks look nice, the rest is too much.

44shooter

Yes Paul, I believe the 41, 45 Colt, 45 auto Colt, and the Professional are on the XL frame. The XL frame isn't all that big either, maybe K frame size. I have an Undercover which is a bit smaller than my J frame. Watched my dad drop a pigeon sitting on top of an old style tobacco barn once. A truly...

44shooter

I believe the Charter Arms is 45 Colt has a larger frame than the Bulldog in 44 special. Still a handy big bore I’m sure.

44shooter

That’s fine shooting Nath

44shooter

Looks well made and unobtrusive. Btw your cases for takedowns are amazing!

44shooter

Cocking with the gun hand is the fastest way to get into action for me. Follow up shots with the support thumb cocking are pretty fast. Double fisting is pretty quick too! I can shoot and cock pistols with either hand, but am better with my right and best with the gun in my right and supported by my...

44shooter

I’m surprised there aren’t loads with the likes of RL7 or 4198. Are these too slow?

44shooter

Definitely a handful with full throttle magnums. Probably quite fun with traditional specials, cowboy loads, or midrange mag loads. They have made 45 acp on this frame which should be manageable too.

44shooter

I’ve seen shooters dip the muzzle on the trigger pull. Do some dry firing free handed. Aim at something small like a door knob or light switch. See if the sights are still on when the hammer drops

44shooter

Definitely a project gun. But I've worked on much worse.

44shooter

Short answer is hunters will not kill all the cattle nearly quickly enough. People aren’t going to buy tags to shoot a cow. they are probably entirely legal to shoot any way provided they aren’t on private land or aren’t tagged or branded. They have been reported to be aggressive to the public, hors...

44shooter

It looks good and traditional. Just big for what it is. Expensive too. Like a slightly miniaturized BAR sported.

BTW I think Ruger has discontinued the 40 cal version of its PC Carbine. It’s not perfect either but the ability to use two different mag systems of which I own is appealing.

44shooter

Why does the action look long enough to be a 30-06?

44shooter

Yeah I can't say I've never had any problems with Ruger's but they made it right. Even one that wasn't their fault..

44shooter

Don’t they realize that just because the season comes in on Saturday that they aren’t obligated to hunt then? Sounds like they just don’t want other people to be able to hunt when they don’t want to.

44shooter

Sorry for your loss. Be sure to take care of yourself

44shooter

Sorry to hear of the troubles. I have a EPS two gun double loop rig with money belt my wife at the time got me for Christmas quite a while back. They got it delivered on time and it's beautiful. Belt is a bit small but idk how she ordered it. I can wear it but it's a tight cinch sometimes. I like th...

44shooter

I don’t think the frame is long enough for 375

44shooter

Yep Forgot to mention, that this particular Marlin made it out of the factory w/out being drilled and tapped for a receiver sight. Found that rather odd. I prefer the Lyman 66 over the Williams, but I have several other rifles set up with peep sights. Just going to change out the rear sight and cal...
