Yes. Firing a non-expanding bullet at about 1250 fps.
I didn't either. All of the lead bullets I've put through the two stock Colts I've had (one 70 series and one 80 series) were with the two factory Colt magazines that came with them and a handful of...

Paper-sack powder was common 40-50 years ago when gun shops would buy powder by the keg and resell it by the pound. Bought a lot of it back then.
The only unexplained overload I've ever had was with WW231 in a 'pop gun' 44 mag, loaded on a Dillon 550. I disassembled all the remaining rounds, expecting to find an empty case but there wasn't...

Zero under the current conditions. I won't shoot what I can't replace.
Victorinox Swiss Army or Old Timer 330(?).
I don't think the Old Timer is the same one that I ran over with a Kenworth truck and mashed it into the asphalt. I found it later and dug it out of the...

I could use one, too. 336C .30-30, round IIRC.

Good job! But don't be surprised if the next one you shoot with that placement doesn't result in a bang/flop. As often as not, they take off as if you missed and run a little before they run out...

Believe it or not, the speed of sound is not a function of pressure. Temperature is the only variable in calculating the speed of sound in air.
I have no idea what might have made the 'crack'...

Elmer also wrote that he used harder alloys (10:1?) for the .45 ACP because of its shallower rifling.
Never any mention of antimony that I remember. Just lead and tin.

Sorry to be so late in getting back with you.
No, he (and I) just quit using the Remington safety altogether. An empty chamber or raised bolt handle was our 'safety' from then on. The bad thing...

They were real. A friend had two accidental discharges in two days and I was with him both times. The first time we assumed it was somehow his fault. The second proved it wasn't; it fired when he...

Loading manuals used to carry a warning not to reduce H110 published loads by more than 3%. I don't know if that's still true.

I've been using Starline brass since they first opened. Never had a problem with any of it, from .32-20 on up thru .45LC. Just wish they'd start making .405 Winchester brass.

I would hope they aren't available to the general public and I'm surprised they're available to anyone, packaged like that.

I'd take the one on top. It looks like Elmer Keith's original design.

What people are calling "gouging" is nothing but capitalism at work. Any time a deal is voluntarily struck between two parties, regardless of price, both sides got what they wanted. Otherwise, one...
Some mikes have a friction lock. Make sure it isn't on.

Take advantage of the non-existent "gun show loophole" and sell them all to unknown people prior to The Placeholder Vegetable and Madam Soon-To-Be President taking office.

There's a phone company in LaCygne (People's) that's burying fiber all over the place, including north up in Miami County. I don't know how far east they're going or if they're crossing the state...

There's a lot of good cast bullet info in Glen Friyxell's work, including leading.
