IMR 4227 and H4895. 4227 has been my most accurate for all pistol and reduced rifle loads, and H4895 for hotter rifle loads. I was also using SR4759, but 4227 beats it for accuracy. If you consider it works for all pistol and rifle shooting out to 200 yards, it could be the only powder I'd ever need...

The Lee manual has some loads for 220 and 250 grainers in 35 Rem. Otherwise, can't you calculate the relative space in the case, and compare that to a known load? I did this when I was loading the Barnes 200 grain bullet in 35 Rem, and it worked fine. Rimfire McNutjob was kind enough to check it out...

So your saying if an individual is creating enough of a disturbance that the COPS are called, it should be OPTIONAL for him to decide to correctly identify who he is. Granted, there can be exceptions provided they lost their license but there are other ways that you can PROVE who you are. I guess a...

El Chivo

COPS should have the right to ask for your identification, and in the event you fail to provide it, you should be arrested. Well, I don't know about that; we aren't required to have ID to justify our existence to the police. A license might be required to carry a gun around in public, and if so he ...

People in Washington have always had the right to open carry, but, up until a few years ago, it would get you put on the ground, and arrested. A few jerks pushed the issue, and after a few lawsuits, and expensive lessons the big city LEOs now have an understanding of the law. In this state Man With...

Well I got the last two pounds of H4895 to hit the LA area, haven't touched them yet. Still have about 500 rounds of 22lr. And 10,000 primers. May be hurting for IMR 4227 before too long, but don't have much time to load or shoot, either. So it may last for that reason.

Nothing in the stores.

El Chivo

I haven't seen the videos, but tend to agree with you; I think those who are "in your face" with their gun rights aren't helping. That behavior got open carry banned in CA. I realize there's a certain point of view, such as the July 4th guy carrying in downtown Washington, D.C., that it's ...

that's fine if you were going east to west, but what if you wanted to go in the other direction?

I see how that can happen. I bought two scopes from Midway when they went on sale, but I didn't have time to deal with them right away. It was almost a year and they were still in their box.

Kharkov was probably the first time the Russians employed anti-blitzkrieg tactics, i.e., a zone defense to slow down the Nazi spearheads and spoil their timetable. Before that the Germans were punching through and pinwheeling around, surrounding armies and destroying them. But when they lost their ...

I'd like to hear more about earlier wars, ones I don't know much about. They might have had a greater effect on us today. Like the one that introduced the Magna Carta, etc. Would it have mattered much if we had lost the Revolutionary War? Except for a 3% tea tax, I doubt if America's development wou...

Even though Stalingrad received the attention, some believe it was the two (failed) counter-offensives from Kharkov that drained the effectiveness from the Axis troops.... Yes but if you're talking about turning points, Stalingrad was it. Although a case could be made for the counter-offensive from...

Well I have dry-fired unintentionally when I lost count and thought I had a round left and didn't. Nothing has broken yet. Just lucky I guess.

By the way, what do they shoot in other countries? Kangaroo silhouettes, etc?

At the age of 15 my mom bought my grandfather's deer rifle (Remington 721 270 Winchester) from my uncle so that I could have it. She gave him $500.00 for the rifle which was more than it was worth monetarily

Nice story. My question is, where did a 15 year old girl get $500?

Thank heaven people finally came to their senses. Plywood stocks are about the ugliest thing that has ever been attached to a well machined hunk of steel. I know they were used on military weapons when the need for stocks outstripped the available real wood for stocks, but why would anyone want to ...

I second that it's the ammunition that's a part of it; I'd be interested to see the accuracy with pointy tips and single loaded, light crimp or no crimp loads. But leverguns are made to be carried and shot quickly. It's also true about the big sight, my shooting has improved since switching to globe...

I want to crimp to the supplied groove or etch on the bullet, for consistency's sake with that bullet, and adjust powder accordingly. If it don't fit I'd look for a different bullet.

Most folks know the pistol cal./ hunter pistol category is half the distance and the normal life size targets are half size. But, most never think about how half by half really means the targets are now one quarter the surface area or square inches of surface. Standing off hand, a 34 score is reall...

Ok, read the post about things being slow on the forum, and decided to brag a little. Shot a good score with my Win 94 Legacy in .357 (my Nath gun) yesterday. A beautiful day for shooting. Load was 10 grains of 4227 and a 180 grain Mastercast soft lead bullet. Glad I went. I hit 9 rams which is not ...

Experimental results, backed by theoretical calculations and computer modeling, show an M-16, using the proposed rectangular aperture in the rear sight, will increase depth of field on horizontal lines, to improve simultaneous focus on the top edge of the front sight, and the targ...

I had a Tasco and really hated it at 60x, although 20x and 30x were passable. It was big and heavy as well. I bought a Minox 15x-30x and it is quite nice. I have sold all my other scopes and binos except a 6x monocular.

Brockman's makes a pop-up receiver sight that fits under the scope and pops up when you remove the scope: http://www.brockmansrifles.com/sight_options.asp their sights are good.

I thought this WAS a spotting scope; but they're binos?

I bought a Minox 15-30x spotting scope and sold my binos; couldn't stand them around my neck.

ALL THE SCOPES I'VE EVER SEEN OR USED IN 60+ YEARS OF SHOOTING HAVE INDIVIDUAL EYE FOCUSING. TURNING THE EYE PIECE IN OR OUT, JUST LIKE IN BINOCULARS, IS HOW YOU FOCUS A SCOPE. THE HIGHER POWER AND QUALITY TELESCOPIC SIGHTS [ HOW'SA THAT FOR AN OLD CORRECT NAME...] ALSO HAVE THE AE FOCUSING IN THE ...

El Chivo

I would settle for one that simply increased focus distance by 'double' or halved it, and didn't adjust, That's what I was thinking of; the other would be too complicated. Maybe a set of two; one for closer (100 yds down to 50) one for further (100 yds up to 200). The focusing eyepiece helps your e...

El Chivo

Most scopes are fixed focus, at 100 or 50 yards, that's the only distance where the image is truly sharp. It ought to be possible to attach an auxiliary lens to the front and change that distance, and sharpen up the image at either a shorter or longer distance. Sort of like an adjustable objective, ...

Lee did a test where they took their smallest press and filed it down to about 1/8" thick in one spot, then loaded thousands of rounds with it. There is a lightweight feel to a lightweight press (of any brand) but they will still do the job.

I did best with IMR 4227, between 15-17 grains, and 17 grains was the most accurate. That was with regular bullets. Trail Boss is another excellent suggestion, although watch for bridging and it sticking to everything. Trail Boss will fill the case nicely and it's a fast powder, might be just the th...
