To answer the question that started this thread: Use whatever is the most reliable in your firearm. Accuracy, power, and all those other things are useless if you cannot rely on the gun to function properly each time it is fired and the action cycled. Questions of overpenetration are fine for discus...

I will bring my Marlin to the CSA and anyone who cares to shoot it may do so.

JimT

I have been hunting with revolvers since the early 1960's. Now - late in life

- I am learning to shoot a scoped rifle!

But I still like to hunt with a sixgun.

JimT

Now boys .. if you have never tried one all you can do is guess. I have tried them and compared them and yes, they DO make the action noticably smoother. But ... they are designed for CAS .. for "race" guns... I would NOT use them for hunting or self-defense guns. As has been stated, the ...

How well will they group? will they shoot any where near as tight as a full bore bullet? Groups fired with Factory loads from Model 94 Winchester, using a rolled-up carpet on the hood of my 4WD for a rest, all with open sights. All are 3-shot groups. 50 yards Remington 55 gr. Accelerator 1" Fe...

I took a friend's wife out for Javelina. She used an old Model 94 Winchester 30-30 with a side-mounted scope. She had it loaded with Accelerators. She whacked a nice boar at a bit over 100 yards. Excellent bullet placement, right through heart and lungs. Bits of rib from the right side were blown th...

Congratulations!

Like most of us I see you married above your station in life ......

Thank you Jim for sharing, I have lived a sheltered life with exposure to only Hawaiian sunsets until recently on my Texas Safari these pictures taken from the south side of bunkhouse at the AOA Ranch in Hondo, Texas, very beautiful in it's own unique way. I am very sorry we didn't get to stick aro...

You have my sympathy Sixgun! And I think it really is like a nuke going off ... just really big and really far away

NICE Rangerider! Great pictures.

The nut on the stock is the weak part.

JimT

So in the article Paco doesn't list a velocity for the 125 grain bullet w/ 13 grains of 2400. would anybody like to take a guess as to what kind of speeds he's getting out of that? I'm thinking about 1600 FPS. Looks to me like that's right up there with a .357 Mag. Rusty <>< Out of my Marlin 32-20 ...

JimT

Congratulation boys! Your replies were very nice. That's one of those questions that could be answered with: "For those that understand, no explanation is necessary." It's like the .44 Special, the 44-40, 38-40 and a host of other "unnecessary" cartridges. Some of them just stir...

Well .. the latest one has my picture in it.

If that is a recommendation.

JimT

Is the Speer manual very conservative in their recommendations? After Omark bought Speer in 1975, they became more conservative on many loadings. My friend Alan Jones was the Editor of the last couple Speer Manuals and worked on some of the others. One of the things they did was switch from using p...

We have the Tom Selleck version on DVD and like it a lot, but I have to admit I've never seen the Lee Marvin version. I'll see if I can't hunt up a copy. It would be interesting to compare. Joe If you find it at a decent price, let know. I want one. I have only be able to located "collectors&q...

JimT

The best line in any movie I've seen in a long time comes from Monte Walsh: "I don't think you understand how little I care." I'd like to see the one with Lee Marvin again as a point of reference. Rusty <>< I like the Lee Marvin one the best. Selleck does an excellent job, but I think the...

JimT

You should be asking, "How Good can I get?" and "What do I have to do to get there?" To compare your skills with others in a friendly environment, you need to attend one of the CSA gatherings and see how others do. Use some of their guns, let them use yours and I think you will ...

Ruger is never a bad choice.

Freedom Arms was successfully sued recently. Partially successful, the judge awarded a settlement in which the plaintiff had to pay half (because of stupidity) and FA had to pay the other half. I don't recall the amount. Yes .. there was some confusion among jury members if I remember correctly, ab...

JimT

The Modle 97 has a transfer bar that works just like all transfer bars. The Model 83 has a sliding block that goes between the hammer and the frame. To activate it the hammer is pulled about 1/8" or a bit more to the rear, just lifting it off the receiver, and then lowered into place. (EDIT) Wh...

While this is a nice sentiment, quite frankly our problems run much deeper. Republicans feel that ANY Republican is better than a Democrat. So they will back an anti-gun pro-abortion Sociallist Republican over an anti-gun pro-abortion Socialist Democrat. The Democrats feel that ANY Democrat is bette...

Mr. Davis was with us on last year's Safari. He used the Hornady LeveRevolution factory ammo. It worked just find on Wildebeest and Warthog.

He also took a Bison here in the States using it. He got complete penetration side to side on the Bison.

JimT

I have an Ithaca Model 49 in .22 Mag --- power level in penetrating steel is about like a .357 out of a sixgun. There is no comparison to the .22 Long Rifle. When fired from a long gun the .22 Magnum shines. It is a totally different creature than when fired from a sixgun. They are more expensive to...

Very good Jim. On a sidenote, there was a guy yesterday who was filmed by surveilance video toting a whole suitcase full of knives and a meat cleaver to an upscale psychiatrists office. Chopped her up dead and nearly killed her companion who came to her aid. Another "gun free" zone of cou...

I enjoyed meeting you. I felt bad that I had to leave early and not meet the rest of the crew who came in. Looks like everyone had a grand time.

Thank you sir .. I cannot take any credit. I went to school. The School of Hard Knocks. I could have been as self-righteous as some others but things happened to me to make me realize I was no better and sometimes not half as good as some of the folks I was talking to. I am still in School by the w...

Hang on to something with one hand, shoot with the other. That's why you use a pistol in space.

I have been propelled backwards by some firearms while still on earth!

It would be fun shooting downward and watching the fireball as it entered the atmosphere. Super Tracers!

Welcome back Jim, So. Mo got hit pretty hard this time, we usually get the messy stuff up here north of the river, but seems like more has been south.

I had to leave early .. left Sunday AM ... missed the auction and don't know what happened. I believe that 86r will let us know.

Where the heck are the moderators? This kind of nonsense is exactly what is changing this forum for the worse. Hunting. Shooting. He deleted the link. Let it go. There should not have been any posts after he deleted it. Why keep things alive? Go out and shoot up some tin cans. You'll feel better.
