I sliced off the crimps of a handfull of factory 3" #4s and replaced the shot with four .350" muzzleloading balls glued in with model cement. I doubt they would stand up to loading and unloading from a repeater but they work just fine in a break open and stay on a medium pizza box at 30 pa...

We were supporting General Cleburne's division. Our division (Cheatham's) was commanded by General John C. Brown. Cleburne's division advanced to the attack. I was marching by the side of a soldier by the name of James Galbreath, and a conscript from the Mt. Pleasant country. I never heard a man pra...

But I cannot describe it as I would wish. I would be pleased to mention the name of every soldier, not only of Company H alone, but every man in the First and Twenty-seventh Tennessee Consolidated Regiments on this occasion, but I cannot now remember their names, and will not mention any one in part...

For several nights they made attacks upon our lines, but in every attempt, they were driven back with great slaughter. They would ignite the tape of bomb shells, and throw them over in our lines, but, if the shell did not immediately explode, they were thrown back. They had a little shell called han...

"DEAD ANGLE" The First and Twenty-seventh Tennessee Regiments will ever remember the battle of "Dead Angle," which was fought June 27th, on the Kennesaw line, near Marietta, Georgia. It was one of the hottest and longest days of the year, and one of the most desperate and determi...

These are what I use in revolvers and break-open arms, long and short. They throw skirted pellets and round balls and combinations thereof. They are scarce and hard to find but I buy a box or two whenever in stock. https://www.grafs.com/retail/catalog/product/productId/77734 Nigh-on impossible to lo...

HP-38/W-231 is where I'd start if I was starting over. The maximum special loads work just fine in magnum cases if you need the longer cases for proper cycling.

Since many revolver toters had had experiences with military arms and ammunition and were used to biting and pouring musket cartridges.....do you think they did this with colt's cartridges or at least somehow pricked/pierced the tails ? Never heard of anyone doing it. It does not help in any way in...

KelTec sent me the spring and guide rod when my son lost them. Taurus made a good one about the same size. Yep, tcp 738. The improved current offering is their "spectrum". In between those two models was the "curve" that shot around corners. https://www.sportsmansoutdoorsupersto...

When they were new to me antways, a four prop job about the size of a deli tray sauntered by betwixt my house and mom's and was hovering/lurking under the neighbour's open-sided tractor shed. It never left the shed alive. It ran into a cloud of #4s.

Yep .. I get that. I was just answering the question about what .380 to carry. If I carried a .380 it would be something like that. You could handload full wadcutters to decent velocity for instance. Run heavier bullets. And it is a cute little gun, especially if you cut the barrel to 3 1/2" o...

I wonder if something as plain as a circa 1994 super blackhawk and as pedestrian as a 2011 cva break-open qualifies as a presentable "combo" ? That cva is a proven deerslayer and the blackhawk has educated a few with near misses. Why wouldn't it? :) Well there once was a fellow we all kne...

This made me remember the first centerfire bought with my own coin. It was a 1893 mauser that I bought for $30 in 1982 and cost me another $35 for the cut and recrown and sight drilling/tapping.

Just saying, if by using gov. maddox's "one drop rule" to be considered "coloured" then I'm an albino freak whose hue would serve a vampire well. Three decades of working nights and seldom seeing sunshine don't help much in the melanin density and vitamin d absorption either.

I have several n.m. and vaquero 4-5/8" and even a few shorter with shortened ejectors or no ejector at all. A pen-clipped tiny screwdriver proves useful for those but a knife blade point prying under the rim will suffice.

Jim, it was an X-15 I had for a while, too. What is your opinion of the spring-clip "skeleton" holster? Here are a few pages from Rattenbury's incomparable book "Packing Iron" that show the skeleton design as well as several others. I have not used the "skeleton" desig...

You should not have any trouble selling the '65 for $5 to $6 and the '66 for $4. Not near as much silver there as you would think. Double those values for an average 1964.
