Undersized bullet or more likely a seriously rusted and pitted bore. Rick got seriously bit on that one!

Charles, An interesting theory, I always thought the correlation was the appearence of Glocks, as the ones I heard about were always Glocks. We ran a long thread over on Cast Boolits about the advent of progressive presses and the increase in kabooms. Seems like the theory has lots of support. I ha...

Back in 1965 When Viet Nam was getting into full swing, I bought up a butt load of primers, anticpating a shortage like WWII. It didn't happen. I still have a thousand or two SR primers from that buy. After Obama won, like others, I stocked up on primers and powder. I have enough to see me out. I no...

The number of destroyed firearms has risen since the progressive reloading mania has hit the shooting community.

The father folks move from John Brownings original design using the original ammo, the more problems crop up. The 1911 is a simple design for a simple purpose. Improvements are most often not.

Drug and alcohol abuse on the Navajo Res,ervation is at or above 50%. The suicide rate is several times that of white America. Their "simple life" is not such a happy one as folks would suppose. I lived in Farmington New Mexico for several years and worked among the Navajo on frequest occ...

I see this thread continues to live, so I went back, read it again with particular attention to John's original post about lack of information and data on this specific bullet. That leads me to make a comment about this bullet in particular which may also have some application to other aspect of rel...

:( I honestly can't understand why any human would want to stay on a gubment reservation.....be they white, black, red, brown or what have you. There are several tribes in the area that are rich from the casinos they run, and the res is still inhabited with savaged souls....Could the thought or tro...

This snobish and arrogant attitude of what is and what is not adequate for deer hunting has been around as long as I can remember and that is starting to stretch out now. I once held it and throught I had to have a 300 Weatherby to hunt Texas deer. That nonsense ended the first time I shot a deer wi...

The 357 Magnum round fired out of a rifle is fully equal in killing power to the 30-30 round.

I recently bought a US 1917 in primo condition for a very good price. The only problem is somebody has varnished the stock, but thankfully they did not sand it. It is no big problem to strip the varnish and go back to a good military oil finish. To get ready for this project, I ordered some Tom's (1...

I have been using the same Wilson trimmer since 1959 with zero problems. There are no pilots but there are shell holders. The holders often fit multiple cases based in the same case. I use the same holder for 243,308, 270 and 30-06.

CLP is a decent lube but only a so-so powder solvent. The best powder solvent I have used in Ed's Red. Easy to make and very cheap. I have never found anything better and very few as good. Acetone, high grade Kerosene, mineral spirits and Dexron III ATF. Mix in equal portions and store in a metal ca...

This is one of the areas where there is considerable disagreement. I don't pretend to have the answers but here is my thinking on the subject. 1. Back in the day, I fired 22 rifles in competition. We did not clean out rifles until the end of the match season. If we did, it took a hundred or so round...

There are no flys on the 95 as a working rifle.

In Texas your CHL will show up with a DL check but not a plate check. Having a CHL is the closest things to having a certificate of good character there is in Texas. It doesn't upset cops as anybody can have a gun in their car down here. They relax a little when they know you have a CHL.

Bob Ford did the world a favor, when he plugged Jessie in the back of the head.

I dont think I would just Rig it and put it in the safe, if I didn't want to sell it down river. I would save my nickles and dimes and have it rebarreled with a premium barrel and a correct chamber. If it didn't shoot them, it would be the barrel bands or the wood fit, either of which can be tracked...

Sure..I am in..I don't have that book and would like one.

Charles

That is spelled.."greaser", just slured bit in oral speech. You don't grease your car or wagon, you greeze it. Down here it was common in days gone by to call Mexicans "geasers". It is all about diet or something. Anyway, you want to be careful with that word, it is a fight start...

ATF has been known to make up regs on the fly. They can't seem to do anything down here, but increase the flow of guns to the Mexican drug thugs, so I guess they need something to justify their time and salary.

My Glock 17 is stuffed with Remington +P Golden Saber ammo. There is lots of good 9mm ammo out there these days. Not enough difference in any of it, to compensate for a bad hit. With a good hit, they will all do the same thing.

I have made and drank hundreds of pots of boiled coffe often called "sheep herder brew" around these parts. We either put egg shells in it to hold the ground to the bottom and often poured in a cup of cold water "to settle the grounds" just before we drank it. I was at some folks...

Lone Wolf was many thing, but among those is the fact that he was a true peacock! He did like fancy!

Looking down the corridor of time, some gun collector will not think well of the person who did that.

I really don't have any problem with folks thinking old coots/fanny burbs or whatever are impatient, rude, critical and judgmental. I have made these observation of some old timers myself. But, old timers, like younger folks are very different from each other and can't all be tared with the same bru...

El Chivo... How do the "old pharts" as you call them "take advantage" of the younger set? That I do not understand, and think you should be specific with that allegation. Charles, re-read Dixieboy's post and see if you still want to play dumb. Chivo..I am guess I am dumber than ...

Blaine... Yep, I am in to color TV. Have not had a B&W since 1983. I even have an Ipad plus a truck with AC and sat radio. I am still leary of the flying machine though. I think they are just fad that will pass. I have never known any generation that did not think the subsequent generation was &...

When you green horns get miffed and bothered, by the grouchy old coots, please remember that the old coots were young once and you have only been young. They know things about life, living and people that you don't. Age and experience gives you a perspective that you only get by...well..age and expe...

There now! I feel better about it all.

The Internet is just another way humans interact with each other. Sometimes that is good, sometimes not so much. Like all technologies, it promised more than it delivered.

Sharktown...You asked a simple question, so I will give a simple answer. If you are choosing between .309 and .310 go with .310.

Terry is a great guy any way you want to measure that. He is somewhat cranky at times and does not suffer fools lightly, but I dont view that as a flaw. These gun boards have lost many truly knowledable people over the years, because they got tired of having folks who don't know squat, telling them ...

Put a bounty of $1,000,000 on each bad guy and let the head hunters do the dirty work. Much cheaper that way. All we need is some collection points and payment points.

A couple of years back the family had to close and sell off most of the stuff in the Roy Rogers and Dale Evans museum. The new generation had no idea who they were and nobody came any more. Cabelas has just so any square feet in the store, and each on has to earn it's keep. Darn shame, but that is t...

In my experience ashes/cremains are more often buried or placed in a columbarium than scattered.

In 37 years as a Pastor, I have known hundreds of folks who live with all kinds of regrets about what they said and didn't say to folks who have died. I have learned from that and keep current in all of my relationship. I apoligize freely and express love frequently. When I die, there should be noth...

The coversion of 1895 Japchester 30-40 to 30-40 Ackley Improved doesn't seem like a swift idea to me. Here are the reasons. 1. The 1895 action is somewhat springy and when pressures get around 44K lbs, cases start to stretch pretty good. Case life gets pretty short after that. Head separations are a...

Disclosure: I have never been a Jeff Cooper fan. His pontificating get old real fast! That said, I didn't get the whole Scout thing when Cooper started beating the drum for one years ago. I still don't get it. It is a bundle of compromises rolled into once package. My idea of a perfect "Scout&q...

Armi San Marcos had such a bad reputation, they changed the name to Chiappa so they could sell guns.

When the 30-30 first came out in the 1894 Winchester, Townsend Whelen took one on a protected self guided hunt in British Columbia. He took all manner of big game with the rifle and round. His experiences are found in his book "Mr. Rifleman". The bottom line is he found it quite effective ...

1 What kind of music do you want to play? Old Time music uses a banjo without that resonance shell and is played by claw hammer/frailing. 2 Blue Grass uses a banjo with the resonance shell and a bell metal tone ring inside and is play with Earl Skruggs three finger picking style. Which is the easie...

I have three weapons in my collection that were murder guns.

1 Marlin 39 rifle used in a double homicide in Austin Texas
2. Rhom 22 Short used by a man to kill his wife.
3. Colt 22 Huntsman, used in a double homicide

I take 22s very seriously!

Every handgun known to mankind has been discharged by accident and blow up. 99.9% of the time it is human error. Firearms are as safe or unsafe those those folks who handle them.

My emotional choice would always be the grand 1911 pistol in 45 ACP. Living here on the Texas/Mexico border, I put my emotions aside and bought a Glock 17 in 9mm, which is my constant companion.It is a Gen 3 with Night Sights. Reasons? 1. 9mm with good ammo is an effective round for defense. 2. Maga...

Igot my first 25-35 in 1962 for $25. It was a minty 94 carbine. Had it been a 30-30 it would have cost $10 more, as the 25 was not in demand. About the same time, I picked up a Remington 14 and 30S, both in 25 Remington. I killed lots of Texas Whitetail and Mule deer with those rifles. Throw in Java...
