Rimless, straight walled.
I'm here for .32 H&R Magnum Rimless in a Glock, absolutely.
Duty revolvers aren't coming back. Go watch a police range and see how they shoot with a 9mm, a heavier trigger isn't going to help anything, not will more recoil.
IMO "revolvers are simpler" is...

The Dark knows exactly their markets. Threaded muzzle for a silencer (save your nit-picking, Hiram Maxim named them), synthetic stock, extended top rail for a low-power variable scope, and slightly...

It's no surprise that reading up on .40-65 and doing searches on the topic inevitably leads me back to this site's casting and reloading sections. At this point I expect to try something moderate in...

See this is what I came for! My google fu is weak and didn't bring me to that page. Well happy birthday to me, I get to play with a new cartridge!
As a bonus now I can big-dog all the kids...

it's definitely a High Wall. I know they've been made by both the Italian Stallion importers in .45-70, .45-90, .40-65, a short run of .348 Win, .405 Win, and I believe Uberti also offered a .45 LC...

Evening cowpokes and gentlefolks, master tinkers and outhouse-stinkers (categorize yourself as you see fit!) I've made a grievous error from which, to quote the Tiger King, I am never going to...

My suggestion would be to just run higher performance .45LC loads. I wouldn't want to shoot .454s from the SRH at all.
Forum: Cast Boolits
The Mystic would be my recommendation, as it's easily serviceable. There are other 9mm cans that would work for both, but few are user serviceable, which means lead dust from unjacketed or lead-base...

It only fits the Gunsite Scout model, the others require modification.
To the OP, what's your chassis requirements?

What's your end goal? If you want supersonic performance, look at the .36RPP or .35Rem. Subsonic, I'm less sure on but I'd wager you'd come out ahead by looking for a new .357 Mag and going form...

.30-30, the .300 Blackout/Whisper family, the various .32 calibers, and .30 Carbine would all work. Even in a 12" barrel the .30-30 is more than manageable.

If you're dealing with NFA firearms, you have to do a Form 5 (nontaxed transfer) and it's usually expedited. For non-NFA firearms you're generally okay, but the guidance is to go and retrieve them in...

Just do a good job masking and spray paint. Cloth tape traps moisture, but a flat spray paint will hold up well and can be cleaned gently. I painted my ACOG, aimpoints, and $900 scopes. It's not...

Pulled the Savage apart this morning. Surprisingly it's in decent shape. Hopefully someone else will like the barrel and stock. I would recommend the Hog Hunter over a Ruger Ranch in the future. The...

Located a Savage donor action locally, the next step will be the ATF Form 1. Luckily Form 1's are coming back very quickly right now. I'm buying a new house today, so I'll be submitting the new F1...

Agreed, I find the "like" feature on other forums handy for showing appreciation. Anybody can be wrong a lot, but not everybody can put good info in a readable format.

Any update? Have you considered .357 Rimless or other .35-ish AR alternatives?
Forum: Special Projects
If someone made a stock for the AR-mag American Ranch that didn't suck, I'd be all over it. Unfortunately the Ruger comb is too low for a decent scope.
Depends on the reticle. ACOG and BDC reticles like the Pride Fowler Rapid Reticle specify range for XYZ caliber and load, e.g. 100m increments for M193 from a 20" barrel, or 100m increments for 168gr...

I'm still gun-shy on the flap on the bottom of the bolt, but if a cheap donor pops up then maybe, but the action doesn't inspire a great deal of confidence. I'm surprised that despite selling the...

I have the 77/357 and thought a great deal about having it cut down. Not a lot of aftermarket stock options though.

I'd poke around equipment exchanges and look for a used Aimpoint. I'm using a CompC3 in a $20 Vortex 30mm Low single ring for 12ga just fine. Burris Fastfire should be okay, and lighter as well....

This is all premised on ballistic fingerprinting being reliable. Like regular fingerprinting, it's really only useful for exoneration (e.g. determining that two samples could not have the same...
