This is a non-partisan look at what is wrong with America right now. He's not siding with the Democrats or Republicans, rather he is saying that both are the problem. Something I think is worth watching.

I'm not hard over either way. I just thought I'd ask the question to see what the consensus was. I think if the majority would like it and the site owners thought it was a good idea, it might be helpful to have the topics all together. I've not seen a lot of load data here but as we are primarily le...

Yes I have and even used it myself, however, that doesn't change the fact that the formal definition of the word dumb is someone who can't speak.

The whole 'guns are evil' mantra of the Left is a bunch of B.S. We here are committed to the safe and sane use of firearms and see right through the Left's methods. The Left isn't for ending gun violence. If they were they'd push for harsh sentences for those convicted rather than sending them to cl...

With all of the 'old salts' around these parts and the fact that many of us handload, is there any interest in a forum on handloading? It seems to me that with the difference in loading levels possible with the SA Colt models vs Ruger; toggle link '73 type actions vs the much stronger '92 actions, e...

Cowboy Tutt. I didn't intend to imply any nefarious motives or other positions when I took part of your quote, quoted it exactly, and responded to it. I wasn't trying to change the impact of your post but rather took the part I was responding to and quoted that exactly in the hopes of clarity in my ...

Excerpt from my citation debunking the speculation. "The motives used to support these unfounded claims vary. For example, some say the supposed switch occurred as part of an insurance fraud scheme. Others posit that the tragedy was intended to kill three powerful businessmen who were allegedly...

The one unassailable advantage of the longer barrel lengths is sight radius. At my age and eyesight, I look for every advantage I can get using iron sights and for me that means a peep rear sight as close to my eye as I can get it to increase the benefit of Depth of Field. So, my 24" Rossi Rifl...

Also, Dum Dum has become a derisive term for someone with nothing inside his head. I looked Dumb up and legally, a dumb person is one who cannot speak. A person who is mute. As to intelligence, they use to use 3 terms to denote retarded people; Idiot, Imbecile, and Moron. Roughly speaking, an Idiot...

I believe the name Dum Dum was that of the arsenal that produced them. From Wikipedia: "Dum Dum is a city and a municipality of North 24 Parganas district in the Indian state of West Bengal. It is a part of the area covered by Kolkata Metropolitan Development Authority (KMDA) and a vital local...

Much ado about nothing if you ask me Choose the rifle that balances best for you, has the best sight radius with your sights, and works the best for you in your intended purpose. When using the slower burning powders like H110 or Lil' Gun, the difference in velocity by barrel length is not worth sw...

The term 'Dum Dum' bullets has been used to describe expanding point bullets for as long as I can remember. When we were kids, we'd take a lead .22lr bullet and scribe an X in the tip to allow them to open up better when hunting squirrels. Anyway, I was wondering where the name for them originated a...

There is so much wrong with Commiefornia that I'm afraid they'll just ignore the Constitution and proceed on with their radical reworking of what once was a beautiful state. I lived there from 1956 to 1980 and watched it decline from the 'Golden State' to a mere shell of it's former self. However, l...

Griff, just a data point for you. I have 2 Uberti long guns in .45 Colt; a 19" 1866 Yellowboy Carbine and a 24" 1873 Special Sporting Rifle and I use Unique in them as the toggle link actions restrict me to a standard .45 Colt load of 14,000 psi. I chrono'd 2 loads back in August of 2018, ...

I know what you mean. When I went from my 550 to a 650 with Casefeeder, I was lucky because the buyer of my 550 wanted the spare parts kit, my 2nd primer assy (I hate changing out from small to large), my 3 additional Quick Change Kits for the calibers I was doing at that time, and my 3 additional C...

COSteve

Griff, if you're having any issues with your Dillon, I'd send it back to them for a rebuild. It's part of the warranty and it will do wonders for your load accuracy. My old 650 had over 225,000 rds on it, many necked rifle calibers, and I sent it back to them to tighten up the platform as it was a b...

I guess I'm a bit old fashioned when it comes to my firearm choices as I'm definitely drawn to the classic designs. In leverguns, I can see that the 16" trapper style are really popular now but I've tried them a few times and to me the balance is off with the short barrel. The last time I fired...

As far as increased velocities for the smaller cased, modern calibers out of say a 16.5" barrel, everything I've read says the 150-200fps increases are what to expect even when using powders like Power Pistol which is what I like to use in my 6" custom Glock 10mm I developed back in 2004. ...

Buffalo Bore is still advertising their Heavy .357mag Ammo as chronoing at 2,153 fps from an 18.5" Marlin 1894. I wonder what that would do in my 24". . . . . It would slow down. :lol: Just kidding. Let us know when you chrono them ... Before I did that, I'd try a 'nuclear' level load of ...

I know for a fsct that out of a 24" barrel, a 158 grain 357 mag can reach 2200+fps Wow! I was surprised when mine hit 2,005fps. However, I do know a gentleman in these parts that I found out still loads to the original 40,000psi .357mag levels and he's said that his 158grn Lil'Gun compacted lo...

I haven't posted here in a long time as I stepped back from a presence on the net. However, I've visited from time to time. Today, I noticed a post that caught my attention because it is a restatement of a common internet misstatement. I wrote up something a while back for a friend and thought it mi...
