I have a first generation (late 60's-mid 70's) top eject Winchester 94 .44 magnum that is a fantastic rifle but those early ones are about impossible to find anymore. The later ones have ridiculous...

I've been dealing with herniated discs in my L4-L5, L5-S1 and now L3-L4 since I was in my mid 20's. That's been about 25 years now. Doc's said they had never seen a case so bad in someone so young...

When I was in college we were lucky enough at that time to have a rifle range on campus (it had been a military academy way back when) and I started taking classes. At the time I already had quite a...
I said .45acp but that's loaded hot of course. I have one of the Blackhawk .45acp/.45Colt convertibles that I have no doubt would sling a well thought out .45acp bullet plenty hard enough to take...
I like that Montana bullet. I've just been a fan of heavier bullets with 255 being my minimum and no heavier than around 270. Why? Just because heavier lead FP bullets work better when piercing...
You are definitely right about that. It is mostly fantasy but when you have to choose between one or the other it's just more fun to load to the fantasy side and after all, this whole process is...
I've heard 5 bad reviews about Heritage guns for every good one but then I come across folks who love them so I dunno. Anyone know if Heritage actually manufactures any of their guns? If they...
I'd like to try a G36, I'm a big fan of the G21 and .45acp Glocks in general.
I bought my first G21, a gen 1, back when I was a LEO and I was hooked. Not pretty guns but very reliable,...
I LOVE my Ruger's, we have twin 5.5" stainless New Vaquero Bisley .45 Colts, a large frame "old" 4.62" blued Vaquero .45 Colt, a 5.5" blued Blackhawk Convertible .45 Colt/.45acp and a 4.62" stainless...
I'm not opposed to common soft bullets but I want to stick with something that will drill holes through big gnarly hogs, mountain lions, alligators, black bears, sasquatches, yeti's and rhinosauruses...
Still haven't decided on a factory bullet to load our .45 Colts yet.... We got a little side tracked by trying to pick a bullet and powder for 9mm since we just got those dies. We've amassed dies...

Very cool. I have a similar rifle myself. It's a Model 1873 that started life as a rifle but was cut down to a carbine, as many were. I don't know the barrel length, I've never measured it, I guess...

I'll agree with you about the Savage rifles. My first center fire bolt action rifle was a Savage 116 FCSS Weather Warrior .30-06. This was pre AccuTrigger and AccuStock but even then they were...
Lot's of great information, thanks! It'll take me a bit to go through it all and mentally digest it lol. I knew that getting into reloading would have a learning curve so I was ready for that but...
Wow, thanks for all the great information, I appreciate the help very much. As for the bullet we are currently using I incorrectly called it a "hard cast" bullet, I'm still learning the different...
To preface this, my sis and I just started reloading and are using the newest version of Lee's loading manual. We do plan to cast but that will have to wait until we buy all the reloading stuff we...
