No, sorry. I just remember seeing ads for it in some of the gun magazines about 25 years ago. I do recall that Ross Seyfried wrote a few lines about it once in an article about the heavy .45s. It was a rimless case and therefore headspaced on the case mouth, so it wasn't as versatile as the Colt or ...

Nice squirrels. I'd keep some of those around for bear protection.

I haven't looked for roll caps for many decades. Can you still get them? I thought the blue-nose "can't-let-the-kids-have-any-fun" types got that stopped back in the early '70s.

JustaJeepGuy

There's another you've missed: the North American Arms .450 Magnum Express. I recall it was a slightly lengthened .45 Win Mag, in a 5-shot SA revolver, that disappeared shortly after it debuted. The revolver looked a whole lot like the Freedom Arms, but the rear sight was better.

JustaJeepGuy

I used to think his name was "Texas Big Spender"...

Thanks for the Latin lesson. I wish I knew Latin...

Caps won't be any easier to find than primers if things get bad. If you want to be assured of having something to shoot, you need a flintlock.

JustaJeepGuy

I've mentioned it before, but there is a good article in the "Handguns 2001" (the Krause annual) by one Kirk Paradise about making shot loads. He says that the "gas check/shot/gas check" type load doesn't pattern very well. The article describes the use of .444 Marlin cases cut d...

My reading of Lee's info on Federal primers is that the primer compound itself is the source of Lee's recommendation to not use them in a Lee Auto-Prime. Lee always said that Winchester and CCI primers were fine in the A-P. CCI and Speer were part of Blount, Inc. when Speer was saying not to use the...

Just for some price perspective, I looked that M1A up in the 1981 Gun Digest. List price was $420.00.

Some have noticed that EBRs aren't moving right now. I hope that's not bad news for Bushmaster.

Sorry to hear you only got a 24-inch barrel, Goofy Guy 3. I guess you'll have to live with that nice-shooting lever that guys 1 & 2 are only now finding out can shoot.

My question is, what if all those guns everyone "let go" and wants back are someone else's keepers? Do they get to keep them or not?

How much of the reason for the discontinuance of #80 is due to Elmer's replacing it with 2400 for his heavy .44 Spl loads?

JustaJeepGuy

I have a new perspective for you: does the piece shoot any differently with the different grip frames? If it does, I'd say use the one that helps you shoot best, and forget the "look". BTW, I once had an IJ Cattleman in .44 Mag. It had the tightest cylinder lockup of any revolver I ever ha...

He's also concerned about what happens when the glut starts to ease, and all the hoarders realize just how much stuff they bought they'll never use, and all that stuff hits the streets at garage sale prices. That right there is the main reason manufacturers aren't going nuts kicking production into...

One night 37 years ago, I was desperately thirsty and drank a bottle of Dr. Pepper. I have never been that desperate since. I'd marinate meat in ginger ale before I'd allow Dr. Pepper in my house. BLECCH!!!

Yeah, but they know where you post!

Interesting note about loading die prices: before Lee started making 7/8-14 dies, RCBS dies at the gun shows were all priced at $30 or so. When Lee dies started showing up at the gun shows, they were priced at $18. At the next gun show, RCBS dies suddenly were priced at $18. Now, did RCBS suddenly f...

A "book"? Where does the battery go? Or do you plug it in?

I'm guessing you didn't have to sit out in the sun too long when you reduced your primer inventory. While you weren't in it for the money, I hope it was worth your while to go.

Are Max cases easier to find than Mag cases? That's new! I believe that you can trim them down, but it seems so wasteful. I'd say get the Max cases, and trade them off. Maybe on http://ammobrasstrader.com

Janet Reno didn't have anything to do with Ruby Ridge. That happened in 1992, under George the 1st. No Cooper rifles, no HS Precision stocks for me.

JimT, is that a stainless SA in .41? Who made it and when, if you don't mind saying?

The ad says it's a new product, but I seem to recall Ruger making a bolt-action .44 Mag some years ago, too.

Mike, IMHO, the 454 Casull in a Freedom Arms is the way to go if you want a powerful revolver. If you're okay with a 5-shooter, it may be the way to go. A Ruger Super Redhawk in .454 is a 6-shooter; plus, it's got a longer cylinder so you can load ammo longer if need be. On another note, does anyon...

The "Commander" barrel is 4.0", if I'm not mistaken. The commander as original, by colt, is 4.25", there are a lot of companies that call their 4" model a commander though. I don't know where or why that slightly shorter barrel started popping up. I stand in that well-known...

I once read that handloaders are only about 25% (or so) of shooters. I wonder if that figure is still the same. Has anyone heard a different number?

You can't put a rifle in a USPS flat rate box, but for whatever will fit inside (up to 70 lbs.), it's the best value around.

I'd say load a .38-40 slug in that "accidental wildcat" case and hang it on a chain around your neck as a reminder. I haven't made that particular mistake yet, myself--just a few of the others. I still have no idea how I missed charging those three cases with powder...

I'm having a hard time with the idea of throwing away good brass, too. There was a time when .40 S&W was everywhere, but the brass vultures who sell it for scrap picked it all up.
