Scott, I don't know if bullets from Lyman molds are generally available from custom casting businesses or if you cast your own but my best answer to your question is that I've found that the Lyman 452664 has almost the same size meplat as the 270SAA, has a very generous grease groove, weighs in at 2...

There are stories of police officers involved in chases shooting their AR-15 through their windshield. That first shot to break through the glass must result in an eardrum-shattering blast but it appears that subsequent shots are fired with the muzzle out through the window. I doubt that this is acc...

Walt

Well, sometimes doing something you loathe is the only way to achieve a goal.

Enjoy yourselves and be safe.

Walt

If the result of shooting super high velocity, lightweight bullets like from a .220 Swift or a .264 at game animals frequently results in massive surface wounds but little penetration, then my guess is that similar results would occur shooting a large diameter, lightweight bullet. It wouldn't be sur...

Walt

Yep, I agree with you, Vall. As much as I enjoy my .44 Specials, I love my .45 Colts even more.

Walt

I was a low-level manager for a few years with the company I retired from after 43 years and during that four year period I flew an estimated 525 times, frequently four or six times a week. Flying out over the mountains I love, it made me sick at heart to be on a darned airplane instead of tramping ...

Walt

Bill, I'm surprised he could hear even a single word you said.

Walt

When I bought my .44 mag and .45 Colt Bisleys years ago they were available only in blue and came only with 7 1/2" barrels. I had gunsmiths shorten the barrels to 5 1/2" and I've been very pleased with them. Having steel grip frames, they are more comfortable to shoot than standard Blackha...

Walt

Nice work, Jay.....it looks goodern new! Thanks for the pictures.

Walt

Yeah, is that you on the right side or the left?

Walt

Happy birthday to your daughter and congratulations to you both! Best wishes.

Thanks for the picture!

Walt

You have good taste, Fred. I have a model 24-3 just like that. I did have to put a taller front sight on it. In fact, I shot it at steel gongs just yesterday.

Walt

There is a commuter train that runs from about 40 miles south of Albuquerque to Santa Fe which is about 60 miles north of Albuquerque. It has happened on several occasions that the train has hit a cow while crossing Indian land. After all the thumping, the train stops, the rail employees get out and...

Grade 8s only achieve their strength rating when torqued to a specific value, however they are more brittle than grade 5s and tend to break where movement is allowed.

Since Obama was president when Biden was at the height of his corrupt dealings, it seems highly unlikely that he wasn't aware of what was going on. Of course, Obama was shielded by his "iron curtain"; the ability of the libs and the "news" media to scream RACIST at the first hint...

Walt

Ha ha ha.....now tell us how you Really feel.

Walt

Dave, I hadn't seen you on the forum for a while. I hope all is well....glad you're back.

Walt

That must be a country club.

Walt

Years ago when our kids were maybe 3 and 5 years old, my wife and I drove out to Anaheim to watch the New Years Eve fireworks show at Disneyland. We got there at about 11:00 PM and the place was already packed. We thought that if we got into the park farther, we could get away from the worst of the ...

Walt

And another...

Walt

Fred, you'll probably think I lead an exceedingly boring life but I don't own a TV, I don't attend anything that involves crowds of people. Does that make me antisocial? Probably a bit, I suppose. There are so many things I love to do that don't involve other people, except no more than I can count ...

Walt

Great pictures, Griff.....thanks!

Walt

Thanks, Grizz! I seldom ship guns but I'll remember the advice the next time I do.

Walt

OS, what's the difference between watching a great big screen from a distance and watching a small one up close? Living in SoCal you must have no problem with crowds of people around you. I lived in Escondido for about 17 months in the middle 70s. I used to shoot at a range near Lake Wohlford which ...

Walt

I have passed on several Jerry Miculek model 625 Smiths but in hindsight I think they're probably pretty nice guns.

Walt

Very nice indeed....and I love the grip. Nicely done!

Walt

Beautiful gun, YK! Very nice and I've always found the birdshead grip appealing. (never owned one though).

Walt

That model 97 especially is very impressive. Thanks for the pictures, Jim!

Walt

Looks like a nice area. A walking stick is always a good idea on slick rocks. I hope you guys are doing well, Fred. Thanks for the pictures.

Walt

Great pictures, Six! Let the invasion begin....won't need to mow as much!

Walt

Jay, I have a friend who used to organize group snow rides on New Years Day in the mountains. Knowing that most of the people he invited wouldn't show up, he'd invite 20 or 30. There were times when a bunch would show up, a number of them with 2wd ATVs. That was always a pain because we would end up...

Walt

Thanks, guys! Yep, my wife is an exercise nut just because she loves it and it makes her feel good. She exercises here at home and also for work for hours every day. She runs a fitness/wellness program for about 65 civilian (non-military) police officers who provide security for Sandia Nat'l Labs. I...

Walt

I think the tar removers are generally just kerosene in a can.

Walt

His right arm looks like it's up there somewhere.

Walt

Try a powerful water-based degreaser like Dawn dishwashing soap first. I have often just used brake cleaner for tough tar spots on my truck, flushed with water and then re-applied wax. No harm done.

Walt

That's my sweet wife, Six. She's 65...

Walt

YK, I have a three screw SBH as well, born date 1973. It really is a nice gun!

I'm a little confused about three screw supers with recessed chambers. Apparently some had them, mine doesn't.

Walt

What I like to do....

Walt

Hey, Horsesoldier, that Jeff Ault is a mighty fine shooter. Great looking gun, too! Thanks for the picture.

Walt

Talk about not being so bright. About 50 years ago I was shooting a scoped rifle across the roof of my car. I could see my target clearly but when I shot I didn't see the bullet impact. Yep, line of sight was perfect....bullet path not so much. It ripped a long hole through the roof, the bullet boun...

Walt

Ya did good....I love tearing things down!

Walt

Bill, I've had to ream all of them. I have not found anyone who sold a .41 throat reamer so I have done those carefully with a split mandrel and emery cloth.

Walt

Will, how do you like that K-Hornet?

Walt

Perish the thought but I believe I would choose my blued steel 5 1/2" Bisley in .45 Colt.

Walt

Looks like it was a packed house.

Walt

Is he back to wearing his baggy gym shorts and hoodie?

Walt

The way it is

Walt

Heck, Rugers stir my soul too!

Walt

When the BH flat top .44 specials first came out, I bought one but the front sight at 3/8" was way too low to shoot the Skeeter load. I sent it back to Ruger requesting a 1/2" sight and after that it shot just fine without extremes in rear sight adjustment. Oddly enough, my Bisley .44 spl ...

Walt

I hate to rain on your parade, Six but the wind has been howling here for days. Must be that Global Winding.
