Talked to a guy selling this stuff, he made some big claims. It makes a .380 as powerful as a .45. I doubt it. It looks like a tiny bullet going insane speeds. Looks like it will make a nasty wound...

I watched a few Youtube videos of people with metal detectors looking for relics on civil war sites. The often find clumps of lead they call "camp lead". It looks like once molten lead was poured or...

That article is way too complicated for me.
I suppose my thought is this, with a 30-06 and its twist of 1-10, you can use just about any bullet and it will perform well? Because of the fast twist?...

Does the velocity of the bullet matter? Like 2000fps ve 3000fps?

My Rockola grooves turn one rotation every 20 inches. The little 110 bullet/boolit run at 2000 fps +-
I can load my Dad's 1903 with the same 110 bullets but they rotate twice as fast, 1 cycle per 10...

Freezing beans before you plant them is actually good for them. Some plant seeds need to be frozen before they will sprout. The seed thinks it's gone through a hard winter and is ready to come alive...

Recently I went to a friends house, and her Dad was not in his normal big chair watching TV. As I walked past his chair I smelled a very strong chemical odor. I recognized it immediately as gun...

I was told to oil barrel, put in a ball of Aluminum foil near the top, them pour in a teaspoon of liquid lead. then take out lead and measure it.

Is that correct?

Hunters, where do you aim for deer?
I was taught to aim for the head. It kills the animal faster and saves meat.?? But most hunters I know shoot for the heart and lung area. Even at very close...

In researching info on my Dad's 1911 that he carried in Viet Nam, (he bought it from the Navy, it was still serving proudly on a submarine when Dad retired from the Army) I came across an article...

So do I need to change out my magazines with plastic followers to protect the aluminum? Will that make the magazines more likely to jam now, because it's no longer factory issue?
I wonder why Kimber...

So if the slide goes forward and doesn't grab another cartridge, after firing, then the magazine springs (or slide spring?) are too weak and need to be replaced?
I was given a box of magazines...

[QUOTE=Joshua M. Smith;1528706]Karen,

If you're serious about carrying this, I would highly recommend a steel ramp:

[QUOTE=Russel Nash;1528301]first, do no harm.

second, if you have to file, sand, scrape, hammer, mill, polish, peen, whatever to a gun part to get it to work, do it on an easily replaceable part...

I love my little 45, I bought her new. I waited a year before deciding what 45 to get. I didn't want a foreign made pistol, so no Springfield. I actually wanted a Colt. But I decided on the kimber. I...

Interesting. I found a box, made by HSM Missoula, MT.
So this box is from a person making ammo at his home and not an actual factory? You are right, looking at the cases, they are mixed. Win, FC,...

Are you saying that no company makes 45 ammo with lead bullets?

sorry, no boxes left of lead ammo.

ok, one last thing, I am fine using home made cartridges for self defence right? No legal issues? I have 38 ammo that was made for me by my Dad.

Sending 1911...

One box was orange with "police ammo" written on it. Another was maybe "Western"? These looked old, but were factory made.
FMJ I have tried - Remington, Winchester, "F&B"?. Even old military stuff...

3 inch barrel, aluminum or titanium frame
Kimber Ultra Carry II. I love it. But I dont like the sights. Just black metal

The jam occurs when I use round lead bullets only, ammo bought in store with round lead. The pistol works fine for a few shots. But there is lead on the ramp immdeiately. Then the lead bullet sticks...

But it's only lead bullets that have a problem.

I wanted 230 grains but Lyman only has 220. hmmm

I would try different mags before sending it to a custom gunsmith. The polish job sounds reasonable also.[/QUOTE]



Mags are perfect. I use only stainless steel Kimber and Colt.

What number sandpaper?
