Re: God Has Blessed America

My Grand Pa always said that when the Lord needs a job done he doesn't use perfect people but selects the one perfect for the job.

Re: The hillary hole

Second generation colt, 3 screw Rugers, and firing pin on the hammer S&W's are as up to date as I can get. I tried some of the new stuff but always ended up selling them, just couldn't get to where I liked them...... John

Re: Does anyone have a source for .348 Winchester ammo

Re: Desperato bullets

Hey Feller, from what I understand from a buddy who uses them they are super soft for cowboy compition, like 8 or 9 brinell and 850 to 900fps. I shoot a lot of lead cast bullets in my 357 carbines and can tell you that unless you have a real slick barrel that you need at least 16 brinell at 1600fps ...
