Tutt - rifle cartridges with slow powders are a completely different world than sixgun cartridges. The problem has arisen in the shooting community when people read about what has happened with rifles and try to apply it to the world of sixguns.

JimT

I suspect that the fast powders are not position sensitive and the slow ones are. Slower powders work best when they either fill the case or are held against the primer. My guess is that you are correct .. but it's just my guess. However, 50 years of reloading most everything from .25 ACP to .475 L...

I for one am glad he has that as his location. A few years back when I saw it, out of curiosity I googled it, and was rewarded with some interesting historical accounts. I've often wondered what Jims connection was, but never asked. My youngest daughter spent some time there. I have thought of movi...

Primers have a lot of power. Mic McPherson can speak to that better than I, but here is a test you can run that I got from him... With sized, primed cases, seat a bullet normally in a cartrdige and crimp it in place. Take the other and fill the case with plastic or cardboard wads, seat the bullet so...

All good posts! I too have experienced the joy of too light charges of H110. It is weird when one goes off POP .. then roars like a rocket taking off JUST AFTER THE BULLET HAS LEFT THE BARREL!! Lots of noise and flame and no recoil. Weird weird weird pressure symptoms also. Thunder50 .. you'd have t...

The advice to stick the loading manuals is excellent. As to "detonations" in revolvers with loads of light powder, the neat thing about science is that whatever your hypothesis, without evidence it's just a guess. When somethng can be proven and the results are repeatable, then we have fac...

JimT

It's always a "detonation" when someone blows up a gun, regardless of the real cause. No one likes to think they may have seated 2 bullets into one cartridge thereby causing horrendous pressures. Or any other mistake. So we have "detonation". It's a good explanation, even though ...

I forgot to add, no rest can be used. Must be standing on my hindlegs. Still think I can do it w/a little practice. Anyone else try something like this? Johnny Johnny - there's a lot of "riflemen" that couldn't hit that block while standing up... unsupported. As I said above, it can be do...

Paco and I set up targets at 150 and 200 yards, shooting with our backs resting against the front wheel of my truck, resting our arms on our upraised knees. My best group at 150 yards was just under 4". I don't remember at this late date what the best was at 200. I think somewhere around 8"...

41 Redhawk is correct. The website .. www.leverguns.com .. has been moved to a new server. The transition is complete and we did not lose a thing.

Thanks.

She was trained by a friend of mine as I have said. She hit him with every shot. Her weapon is a Beretta 92F.

She is a genuine Hero!

JimT

The qustion raging today seems to be if she was an official security guard, or a member of the church that was permitted to come to services with a concealed weapon as an ad hoc security measure. John The church has security measures in place including people who are armed as part of the overall pl...

I sorta agree with Old Ironsights ... not totally ... but sorta. I do agree with the author that wrote .. some are preaching about Jesus in hopes of causing more trouble and some preach from true motives .. but no matter what, I'm happy that Jesus is being talked about ... or words to that effect .....

The lady security who took the bad guy down was trained by a friend of mine. She is a former Law Enforcement Officer and a great woman. I call her a Hero. She hit him all 10 times. Going up against a rifle with a handgun is putting it on the line! As to the beginnings and staff of New Life ... you m...

I called Focus on the Family and asked what their policy is on firearms and the Second Amendment. Their reply was that, as a ministry, they have taken no official position on that issue as they felt it was not a "moral issue", which is what they focus on. I was told by the lady I spoke wit...

New Life is hardly a cult. Of course there are those who think that everyone who ain't in their group is a cult. Pointing out the previous leader's immoralitility does not mean that the group is wrong. Every religious sect in America has had its share of those whose sins were made public. Let him wh...

We will be shutting this one down soon. It's going to disappear completely, so save whatever you want and find your way over to the other one.

I was 3. The gun is my Dad's original Model 1858 Remington .44. He had a string tied on the barrel and fastened to the ceiling.

Now THAT is priceless Tubby. I stole it immediately

No concerns. "lead residue" in game is virtually non-existant The health problems can arise if a person does not cast in a properly ventilated area. If your casting setup is done correctly you don't have to worry. When handling lead a person should wash their hands completely (that means s...

Thankyou for sharing Sir and greeting to your wife. Is it possible to explain in detail how you carried the muly out for my curious mind :) On the foreleg a few inches above the hoof you make a lengthwise slit about 2" long, cutting through the skin on both sides of the leg. The slit should be...

The wadcutter run hot will ruin a lot of meat. I can attest to it from personal experience.

As a kid I killed lots of rabbits, cats, dogs, squirrels and so with 38 Special wadcutter handloads. They worked just fine.

Miller is correct. During our Safari in South Africa in June one of the members, Al DiPrima, used a Marlin in the new .308 Marlin to take some of the game. It worked quite well.

Many years ago .. before we had kids .. Miss Twyla and I had been hunting all morning. We had hiked down into the canyons before sunrise, looking for Mule Deer.
