I recently bought a Beretta Stampede in 357 (4 3/4” nickel) to pair with my Winchester/Miroku 1873 in 357. I need to get them together for some pics.

I've got a couple of ARs in 300 Blackout, and recently bought a Wilson barrel in 300 HAM'R. Still waiting on a couple of parts to complete the HAM'R. I'm thinking about selling a 16 inch 300BO...

You owe it to yourself to read some of Keith's work. He carried a handgun daily, but did not use it as a primary hunting gun. Keith was an elk hunter, and used big bore rifles. His Africa hunting...
I've gone a little crazy the last month or so.
Bought a P365, like it so well I sold my Springfield Hellcat the next day.
Ran across a decently priced P365XL and bought it too. I think I may...
How do you like it? After trying a pile of plastic 9mm pistols I settle on the M9A1 as my favorite. The only minus for me is the funky sights, so I put night sights on them. I like it so well I...

Very nice! Great looking bullet too.
Which model of the Ruger American is available in .358 Win?

Good to see that I’m not the only one disappointed with the 1:38 twist and oversize bore of the SAAMI spec 44 Mag rifle barrel. My Browning 92 has never been very accurate, neither have the half...

Look up the SAAMI specs for a 44 Mag rifle. They are supposed to have these oversize bores in way too slow twist barrels. I’m lucky in that my Rossi 92 Trapper shoots well, not as good as its twin...

One of my fishing buddies was an officer in the 173 Abn, same area one year later.

Picked up the Browning this evening, it’s a lot purdier in person than in the pics I posted. It was already dark by the time I got home, I’ll have to take some pics tomorrow.

I really don’t want to start cutting the wood, if that’s the only way I’ll probably go with a scope instead.

I ordered a set of Leupold mounts from Midway, and I have a few scopes to choose from. Most likely I’ll put a Vortex Viper 2-7x on it.

I’m with you on kinetic energy, all things being equal, a bigger diameter bullet kills better than the smaller bullet. Kinetic energy formulas completely ignore bullet diameter. Looking at strictly...

Years ago I had a Savage 112 Series J. That’s a single shot bolt gun with an extra heavy barrel. Mine was a .243

I stumbled across a Winchester 1894 today, when I first saw it I thought it was a new Chiappa 1892, it’s got a beautiful walnut stock and is a 20 inch saddle ring carbine complete with flip up ladder...

I’m with you on the recoil. It’s amazing to me how bad the 44 Mag kicks in a levergun, when the 357 Mag in the same gun is a ***** cat. It doesn’t help any that both of my 44 levers have a steel...
