    I thought I was the only country feller who did that - high brass 6's in my 12 gauge 870 work just fine. But during the last ice storm I talked to a feller with the power company about it. He said...

    I traded for a fairly minty Model 1861 - 1863 Norwich contract. It also had initials on it. Not a biggee, and I reckon I will leave well enough alone. I suspect they are of the period.

    I tried the 148 grain HBWC's in my Victory 38S&W, and it was certainly not regulated for such a light bullet. It shot at or below the bottom of the target at 15 yards. 200 grain MK1 from Matt's...

    I had a Model B High Standard military issue for a spell. I figured since it was made in the late '30's it would cycle CCI Standard velocity ammo. No, it would only cycle "High Speed" 22LR.
