Someday we should do a 'southern' Indiana one...

Even a thicker one would likely have burst, only when the pressure rose a bit higher - maybe with more resultant damage. Still - it reminds us all not to push things too far...!

I like the concept and the .429-430 diameter.... 8) 429 Family Small.JPG One could do similar things with a .38 Spl DA Revolver, .357 Mag SA Revolver, .357 Mag Lever Carbine, and .35 Rem (or .357 Max) Rifle, if they liked lighter (cheaper, more per pound) bullets or less recoil... 8) ...or the .45 C...

Never heard of those little deer, but they sure make nice game for kids to start with.

I hate poll questions though. The CORRECT answer is really "NO" - because the right is inherent, just as the right to breathe. The Second Amendment merely codifies it into law, thereby recognizing it... Still, pretty encouraging that so many people 'get it' - too bad the idiots in the news...

Look around on the internet and you'll see Ted Nugent's hunts with 10mm on wild boar and whitetail. Not some slicked-up Contender, either, just a stock Glock or Kimber.

AJMD429

They totally stink; not nearly as powerful as the .45-70, not accurate, and really awful worksmanship...

Now, where exactly was this one for sale...? I might buy it just to keep it from disappointing someone else...

AJMD429

Those are the nicest grips I've ever seen on any gun. Amazing!

AJMD429

I just saw an XLR Marlin in .410, and the dealer said he just got it from his distributor... Are they making these now, or do you think the dealer is feeding me a line...? ALSO - The same dealer had two "new" Redhawks in .45 Colt with 4" barrels. Same deal - the guy said as far as he ...

AJMD429

Haven't shot mine much, but it seems solid. I don't plan on 'hot' .454 loads, but want to shoot in the 'hot' range for .45 Colt and didn't want to have to segregate brass. This way if it is in a .454 case, it won't fit in my revolver and blow it up! Gander Mountain in Indianapolis has a couple still...

AJMD429

A Marlin with Williams FP (aperture removed for 'ghost ring') is hard to beat. As reliable as any gun I've ever had. Mounts even exist to put laser/light stuff on the forend or barrel, depending on the application. For yard-varmints and coyotes, it IS nice to have a laser and light and a red-dot, bu...

AJMD429

Welcome. Don't go without a dog too long; the quickest way to 'cheer up' again is to have another pooch to liven up your days. I think .32-20 is one of the favorites on this forum, and it is one of the most under-appreciated rounds in my opinion. Unfortunately, the bore diameter is 'odd' and the bra...

AJMD429

Addendum: If the shooter hasn't fired scoped rifles much, don't use a scoped .444 - I just did that yesterday and the guy got a nice case of scope-eye from it. :oops: At least he was of the rough-and-tough sort rather than the crybaby sort, so we just bandaged it up and kept going. Still, not a fun ...

My son is almost more into archery than firearms at this point. I'll have to ask him if his school has a team. He's sure better with his bow than I ever was.

AJMD429

Is that a sling swivel in front of the trigger guard...

AJMD429

Here's what my 14 year old son and I have evolved as our "newbie" course of fire - takes 2-4 hours, and a brick of .22LR plus a dozen or so .38 specials, a dozen .357 Mags & 9mm's, and .223's, and half dozen .44's and .45-70's. Similar guns and chamberings would substitute well, but th...

AJMD429

Cool stuff.

AJMD429

Keep us posted. I'm hoping to make my 1889 more of a shooter this year, and it is pitted as well. When I do some loads, I'll post results as well.

.32-20 is a nice round!

AJMD429

What jdad said...I also think the Marlins are prettier, but - they both go "bang" very well.

In these times, if possible, get BOTH - someone too dumb to buy a gun this year will want one badly next year, and he can sell whichever he likes least...

They're a vital par of an ecosystem, but I'm still glad we don't have 'em around here. Jason, I completely agree. I've got no problem with rattle snakes doing their thing as long as they stay away from the house and barn and don't bite my horses (or me). Bob a Yep - same way I feel about the ones w...

The police cant because they are responders to the crime "usually too late".They try as hard as they can and they s/b thanked for that and what they do. No, the police are NOT trying as hard as they can. Maybe ALMOST, but not as hard as they can. If that were the case, then they would ref...

I had a friend who wanted to shoot a chi com moisan Nagant he brought home from S.E. Asia. Back then 7.62X54R was scarce as hens teeth and if you could find it it was expensive. He ended up taking what brass he did have, which had berdan primers in it and drilling the primer pockets out so they wou...

A lot of hardware stores have always had much higher prices on ammo as it's not a main part of their business. It's just something they carry as a help to customers who don't want to go all the way into town to get a few rounds. I doubt a small store is out to gouge anyone. I'm sure he bought the s...

Too nice to use anyway. oh no! that was my first 38-55 she gets shot just very carefully. i was considering inlaying a silver oval with some inscription [molon labe or some such] in place of the gold disc. what say you? too much/gaudy? No - it has important meaning - probably more than the original...

AJMD429

You really need a vertical forend grip for the fast repeat shots, though...

AJMD429

Looks like a fun collection; I hope you get to share it by taking lots of friends and family (hopefully converting some non-shooters in the process) shooting on a regular basis.

AJMD429

What do they look like before firing? They seem really long and skinney by the photos.

I've had three: 20 ga heavy breakopen I got for the kids (before leverguns were legal for deer). Shot saboted slugs into 3" at 100 yards with a 3-9x scope, but kicked and cost alot to shoot (I haven't reloaded slugs - yet). 12 ga Mossberg 500 with cantilevered scope on barrel. Also 3" grou...

Consider using shot capsules in a .357, .41, .44, or .45 diameter levergun. Speer makes pretty tough ones and supposedly patterns are decent; I've only used the older 1970's-era ones, and they were pretty good out of a .44 Mag 1894 (like a lighter .410, but death to possums and such out to 30 yards)...

AJMD429

I'd like a little DA revolver in .32-20...I know that's sort of what the .327 Federal is, but a little pocket .32-20 would still be nice.

One of our worst mistakes has been government-run education . Several things seem glaringly deficient which a couple generations were 'common knowledge' - among them: the difference between a democracy and a republic (and why America is the latter) the principles of supply and demand the difference ...

Early 60's - lived in a rural area, very poor, with my widowed mother, who as a librarian was very tolerant and broad-minded. What little livestock we had to be kept safe, and she didn't like to shoot much, but let me use the little bolt-action .22LR to practice, and I was able to hit a bean can at ...

There isn't any time I don't like a sling, except maybe when I shoot from a rest, if the sling interferes with bedding down the front of the gun in the cradle. I can't see any reason NOT to want a sling otherwise, unless you have a poorly designed floppy, noisy, shiny one on a hunting gun. The only ...

Try a different Wal Mart. The one closest to me has nada, zip. One down the road in yuppie town has a full stock of everything. Who'd have thought it? Dicks had .223 bulk paks of 200 rds for $119. Gander Mtn. was $169 for the same thing a week later. Wallyworld has the 550 count Federals for $14 in...

I shouldn't think that removing the cylinder from a Bearcat and sending the frame back to Ruger would guarantee that the old cylinder that you remove and the new cylinder installed by Ruger would both be exactly in time because any adjustment to the hand to fit the new cylinder to the frame would m...

Speaking of Contenders, does anyone have a Williams FP on one? I do, but can't really see the front blade, and it seems nobody makes a replacement blade or blade/ramp for the Contender bull-barrel pistols (mine is a .357 Max). I semi-carefully dremeled out the center of the top of my factory blade,...
