I found some of each of the lubes mentioned in the article, used them, and since I found them too late (don't shoot much anymore), can't
really comment on their superiority. Perhaps someone here has.

Has anyone loaded their 375 WINCHESTER according to PACO's article? With the long 38-55 brass? Would appreciate any comments on your results.

What can you do when you come across a gun with no serial number. Or a Marlin with a tang sight and someone drilled through one of the numbers to install it.
I sure wanted that Marlin but unsure of the missing digit so passed.

Re: Another look at "stopping power" in a defensive handgun

The Strasbourg goat tests in the early 90's addressed this issue.
