I've used the 150 gr. Hot Core on 4 Whitetail. I wanted a heavier bullet but, that was all I could find at the time. Worked pretty good but, won't exit unless a behind shoulder/ribs shot.

I had a work supervisor years ago that was a Vietnam vet. He had heard that story about the ammo too. He said he didn't know how it would ever work. I told him there was no way the VietCong could use...

Same with my H&R Huntsman .58 caliber. Not accurate at all. I think I could throw them about as accurate. Shoots patched round balls good though.

Had to be a T/C Contender with a weird shaped wood grip, in .357 Herrett. The grip was uncomfortable just to hold, let alone shoot it. The second most uncomfortable I can remember has to be my Taurus...

Wow, I need somebody like you around my hunting area.

Wow, great expansion. A dime is about .710", and you've got a least .900".

I wonder how the Lee 230 gr. FP would do? A friend of mine has a mold.
I know this is a old thread but, I just saw this. My 1911 will feed 230 gr. FMJ and 230 gr. HP like a greased pig but, absolutely hates 200 gr. SWC. I've got 2 factory 8 rd. and a Promag I've not...
I've bought 3 in the last couple months.
Sar Usa Sar 9 9mm
Tisas .45 ACP
RIA .Model 200 .38 Special
I've not even fired the Tisas and RIA yet. Need to remedy that soon.

I bought a pound of it Yesterday. I've never used it before though. Thought I might try it in .45 ACP, 9mm, and maybe .38 Special.
Supposed to get some 148 gr. wadcutters from a friend. and wondered if anybody had some good Unique loads.
The last I bought was at Academy about 4 weeks ago. They were $7.00 a hundred. Not cheap but, not awful either. Last few times I've been, they've been out.
Just wondered if anybody had made and used one. I tried a tropical fish net, rubber banded to grip. Didn't work all that good. Bounced out about 1/3 of the time. I may just get a good sized tarp.

Ok, I didn't know about Lee blanks. I was figuring on having to start with aluminum stock. But, I might look into Lee. Thanks
I heard of this company years ago but, don't think I've ever seen one in person.

I've been thinking about it for awhile. A friend has mentioned it to me. I might give it a try but, will have to borrow one of his molds to draw a print from. I will alter it to another boolit...

Texas, love the stippling on grips. I got to get a couple 10 round mags for mine too. My biggest complaint on the Hi-Points is the single stack mags. The YC9 was supposed to remedy this and other...

Pretty neat alteration. Whatever it takes to make it easier to use. I've got 4 Hi-Points. 2 C9 9mm, a JHP .45, and a 995 carbine. I've shot steel cased ammo, various hp ammo, and lots of my handloads...

Congrats on a good .357 revolver kill.
I've got a Security Six and have put a few "HOT" handloads through it, and no problems so far. never went over what the manuals say. I've loaded 16.0 gr. H110 with CCI 550 and 158 gr. Rem. JHP and...
Ok, I see that these are pretty much Colt clones, and shouldn't be used with anything other than standard loads. Thanks
Just wondered how the quality is with these and strength. I know they are probably not o. S par with s Ruger Blackhawk but, just thought I'd ask. Thanks

If this is not the right category, please move or disregard. My question, are all the H&R single shot shotgun receivers the same size? For instance could you put a 20 gauge barrel on a 12 gauge...
