I predict that you will really enjoy this.

Scott Tschirhart

I don’t own a semi auto in .300 BO. I think it’s a dandy bolt gun though.

I’ve got an old Remington 788 chambered in .223 that might be an excellent candidate for rebarrelling but I don’t need another one of anything.

Scott Tschirhart

Yes and not all the Hornady cases are the same length either! I’m thinking that I really don’t want to go trim all of the .357 cases I have and I just don’t see this kind of variation in any other handgun cartridge. So, as an experiment, I’m planning to load everything at the same setting and then g...

It is causing all kinds of problems that aren’t obvious to everyone.

Scott Tschirhart

I’d like to have one, but only for the rare occasion when I need to slap a surly bartender upside the head.

I finished loading a huge batch of.38 Special which should last me a good long while. Next up is .357. Unfortunately some Hornady brass (which seems to be liberally mixed with my other brass) is sometimes short. Reading all the headstamps at the end of a long day gives me a headache. I’ve always sep...

Scott Tschirhart

That sounds painful!

I don’t wish that kind of accident on anyone.

Years ago I had one of those Striker 12 revolving shotguns. It was quite a machine. But when they made it an NFA item, I quickly lost interest. I’m still not sure how they did that.

Scott Tschirhart

Mike’s article is quite interesting. Especially about the Picket bullet.

Scott Tschirhart

I don’t know that there were a lot of Walkers being carried on the hip in those days.

There weren’t a whole lot of Walkers made.

But compared to a single shot muzzle loader, that Walker was a big step up!

Scott Tschirhart

I’m curious. What have you heard about potential problems with coated bullets in Rossi guns?

I don’t have any experience with coated bullets at all.

Scott Tschirhart

I think I am unlikely to have a problem like that with this bolt gun.

Note that my .300 magazines are well marked (probably overkill) so I keep them separate.

Scott Tschirhart

I rarely shoot any 5.56 or .233 these days.

That makes sense to me. The shotgun seems to work just as well if it’s an old pump or double or the latest “tactical” semi auto. It strikes the same blow.

Scott Tschirhart

I have to admit that this cartridge reminds me a lot of the .30 Herrett’s and the writing about that cartridge many years ago

Scott Tschirhart

Everyone tells me that I need to try Universal Clays. But I have never seen that powder on the shelf.

I like Unique and I shoot a lot of it. Pretty much all I load in the .45 Colt and.44 Special.

I am willing to try same but the deer have to cooperate which apparently they are loathe to do....I may have to go on one of those tennessee or florida canned hunts.....

I watched a number of deer this year but didn’t kill one. No shortage of opportunity.

Scott Tschirhart

Just in case.

But no, it doesn’t need a thousand dollars worth of glass to be useful. This 3x prism scope is just right.

Scott Tschirhart

Could be. I just used the Bullseye loads today and it was so easy to clean up. No hard fouling at all and the bore looked clean. A dry patch took all residue out

Scott Tschirhart

I find that this rifle likes the 120 gr Barnes loading better. The box says 2100 fps but I’m sure that’s from a longer barrel.

When I go back to the Cherry Bomb it will cut off another inch or so. I have a Q Trash Panda waiting for permission from the government.

Scott Tschirhart

It’s amazing how compact this is.

I’m sorry about that! Hopefully one day that will change.

Scott Tschirhart

I’ve seen folks shot with a variety of guns over the years. I’ve never seen anyone who took a load of buckshot to the torso that stayed in the fight.

Scott Tschirhart

I shot 42 rounds this morning with no binding at all. 3 gr of Bullseye and a 158 gr TC flat point. It might be that the 5 gr Unique load was the culprit.

Scott Tschirhart

This is from the longest shot you can take inside my house.

Scott Tschirhart

This was two shots at 100. Not bad for a 4 1/2 pound rifle.

Scott Tschirhart

I’ve killed a number of deer and hogs with the.300 Blackout now and I really like it for the ranges that I hunt in South Texas. Let’s say out to 200 yards. I’ve been playing around with a Q Mini Fix which is a short bolt action with an 8 inch barrel and a 1/5 twist rate. A great gun for use with a s...

Scott Tschirhart

That hollow based 230 gr .45 bullet really has my attention. If it performs as advertised it should shoot well even in older Colts.

Scott Tschirhart

Thanks guys. I might be on the right track.

If they shoot well, they are actually cheaper than what I am currently shooting

Scott Tschirhart

I talked with the guy earlier today and he seems like a really good fellow who was interested in helping me find a solution to my FA97 fouling issues.

I placed an order and he’s sending me samples of some other bullets that might work well.

Scott Tschirhart

I like those front sights.

Scott Tschirhart

Is anyone using these bullets in their leverguns or sixguns?

I’m interested in the coating and how well it works.

Besides, these look downright sexy!

Scott Tschirhart

I’m not sure. Might need to try a different recipe.

Scott Tschirhart

Never let a crisis go to waste, even if you have to create it.

That seems to be the goan of the government.

This is a far cry from a government by, of and for the people.

Scott Tschirhart

. I just get nervous having to sort and track two different power-levels of loads, and the slightly thicker metal of the 444 in most actions vs the 45-70 makes me more comfortable with that cartridge. Realistically, if you blindfolded me (and probably most shooters), and had us shoot 444 vs 45-70, ...

Scott Tschirhart

These guns look really good. Particularly for the price. I doubt if they will stay so reasonable for very long.

I’ve nothing against Muslims. Though I admit that I don’t know many of them. The Worshipful Master in my Masonic Lodge in Waco was a Muslim at one point and he was as good a man as you will meet.

I’m not a part of this club, but I think we are seeing a lot of people jumping on the bandwagon starting on December 6 2023 or so when we started seeing news reports in all the major outlets.

I don’t see this as any of our business.

Ouch!!!!

Scott Tschirhart

Scott, that is the nasty old Remington dish-based that came lubed some kind of black goo and they shot very well for me, not to mention they looked like they came from the 19th century. True enough. The Remington load is on the left and my handload is on the right. My load clocks an average of 764 ...

Scott Tschirhart

It’s a shame that Remington discontinued selling these bullets.

Scott Tschirhart

I shoot that Hornady bullet over 8 gr of Unique which seems to duplicate the Remington .45 Colt factory load.

It shoots clean and is accurate in my carbine and my SAA. I probably don’t need anything more.

Scott Tschirhart

Watch this and see what you think.

The biggest problem with religion is treating those who are considered "in" differently than those who are considered "out." Jesus didn't do that. He treated the hookers and the drunks and the tax people the same way He treated everyone else and they loved Him and followed Him. ...

Is poi a problem for you with those fixed sights and magnums? Ive always wanted a fixed sight 83 I had to file quite a bit off the front sight to get it to shoot to the sights with my loads, but it’s not a problem. The sights are filed for a 158 gr jacketed bullet over 14.5 gr 2400. Point of impact...

Only gun I ever had that happen with was a S&W 422. After about a half brick it would stutter while feeding.

Only around 60 rounds or so.
