Re: OT - A little - Mulie I shot in AZ
Well, For awhile I went to the darkside. Sold most of my pretty levers etc. and got AR’s. Finally unloaded most of them and decided. I want some nice enjoyable rifles. Kinda went rimfire hungry first. Then Levers again. Then, health problem for the last four years. I’ve left all actual Social media,...

Re: OT - A little - Mulie I shot in AZ
Pics were in original post, from 2009.
They were on a picture posting site called hotboats.
I’ll have to find pics in my archives to add them.
I prob shouldn’t have posted in my old thread.

Re: Behold the lowly wadcutter
In the 80’s I used to also load the 148 Speer HBWC backwards Small game were dead on spot. They lost accuracy by 50 yards. I used to shoot a lot of the desert gophers, and with my old S&w model 19 4”, I could hit regularly out to about 40 yards. I never had to shoot anyone with it but I believe ...

Re: Win vs Rem vs Starline brass?
Starline is my favorite in handgun brass. When I can’t get It, I look to WINCHESTER.
But, I do just mix them when I load.
I weigh every round after loaded. I’ve found brands can be as much as a couple grains diff in weight.
But, especially in these days. I’ll take whichever I can find.

I do agree if I bought a "Montado" for myself I would get the .45 .
I just was thinking if he was wanting to replace the little 32 mag that the .357 was the next up the line.
