Re: So, I ask yet again...
Most of my growing up years were in a very small school, about 300 kids from 1st to 12th grade. My family moved to the city and my graduating class in '68 was made up of over 3,000 kids. Even at that time there were "competitions" to see who could put an adversary into the hospital for a l...

Re: Favorite.45 Colt bullet to be used interchangeably
Scott, you may be aware that Accurate Molds will make up almost any design of bullet mold you want and in whatever dimension you request. Their promise is that the bullets that come out of their molds will be no smaller than your specifications but may be up to .002 larger....they ask you to detail ...

I like using the Lee Factory Crimp Die on most of my pistol calibers but found that it does not work for .45 Colt bullets sized to .454 because the collet is made to crimp no more than .452 diameter. Since I prefer seating and crimping as separate operations, I ordered a new, additional seating/crim...

There are stories of police officers involved in chases shooting their AR-15 through their windshield.

I doubt that this is acc...

Re: 45 Colt, 135 grain bullet

It wouldn't be sur...
