Ever think that much of the hoarding of recent years is due to unfounded paranoia generated by unsubstantiated rumors? In many ways we are our own worst enemies. Overall opinions expressed on the internet are worth approximately what we paid for them. When someone rejects a WIKI article out of hand ...

All them designed are based on utilizing cavitation to create a 'bubble' around the projectile when passing through fluids.

Read Mark Twain's "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court". As the man said, "there are three types of lies. Lies, darned lies and statistics". He didn't include works of literary fiction lies. Though I really did like the movie with Bing Crosby. He missed the fourth. Polit...

I believe the extremely political partisanship will come back to hurt us. Remember the Democrats are the major political party in this country. If we make it a Democrat vs. Republican war we are unnecessarily recruiting a lot of potential enemies. Personally I am non partisan in this fight. I don't ...

I lost a lot of baby Muscovy ducks. It was a coon that would snatch their heads as they were poked through wire. Bodies were untouched as were several other ducklings in same cage whose heads were too large to fit through mesh.

I prefer the Bar S, or any other brand, cooked salami to the bologna. I prefer the smoked sausages in the 40 ounce pack to any weiner/frandfurter, at least the brands I can afford. When I lived in Kalifornia I could get wine cured dry salami (Capri?) but here in the Ozarks I never see any dry salami...

The Everglades is a park. Is any kind of hunting shooting permitted in there? One problem is that if lots of people are admitted to wander around with guns there are always some who will not be responsible and stick to shooting the unprotected vermin.

If it is a modern manufacture (Japanese) example I would say it is close enough you would never notice the difference. When I first got mine many years ago I loaded a 600 grain cast bullet at 1900 fps and did not feel the need to go any farther. The recoil approximates a 405 grain at 2800 fps. Okay ...

Hunting in Japan is legal though more restrictive than here except for our Manhattanites.

I have probably a dozen little lever actions (Marlin, Rossi, Browning) and the first thing I do with all the sights is to take a file to them I file of any ears and create a straight sided flat bottomed notch just wide enough to allow a little light to show on each side of the front blade sight.

The reputed problems with the original 30-30 cartridge were not due to case design. It was due to the design of most of the rifles in which the cartridge was chambered. The springy action of most lever action rifles allowed the cartridge base to be set back under pressure thus lengthening the case. ...

If people are getting 200-300 fps more velocity from the 30-30AI than from the 30-30 it is mostly due to loading to higher pressures. The small difference in case capacity would not produce that much increase especially in the shorter barrel lengths common to the calibers.

I have been using12 grains of BD with jacketed bullets for at least 40 years in M92 clones and a Colt Mk III 6 inch. with good results. I seldom load any ammo to max pressure. According to QL most of my loads in all calibers are about 90% of SAAMI or less, some considerably less.

It is not just the pressure of the cartridge that determines how strong an action need be. It is breech thrust the pressure times the maximum chamber diameter.

Buffalo Bore loads a .32 ACP +P that performs well. It uses the 75 grain FN made by Rim Rock. Handloaders can easily duplicate the ballistics. My wife used to carry a Witness Compact 9mm but it was a bit too large for her small hands. She now carries my Manurhin (Walther) PP and it performs well.
