    Lord willing, I am going to the range Saturday and will check the gun out with my available 45 Colts. Should be fun plinking, anyway. I love Smiths, anyway.

    Will have to check Starline's prices on the Casull and 460 brass. I plan to go to the range this weekend and see how it does with 45LC and 250gr. cast. I may never run a jacketed bullet through it,...

    I'm over in the east half, close to Columbus, GA.

    I haven't priced it but I thought 460 brass was pretty costly, plus the extra powder needed to fill the bigger case, but who knows? I haven't cracked a cap in it yet. There's plenty of fun to be...

    Yes, I'll slug it when I get a chance. I will probably try some "store-bought" cast slugs at first, if some can be found with good bases.

    This is a little convoluted.... S&W 460

    So I got this gun by trading some inherited shotguns I don't need. I know, it's excessive, unnecessarily powerful, etc. Heck, I don't even hunt any more, just plink at the range.

    I bought the...

    I guess I never thought of using one with a rifle. For a while, Marlin, I think, made a smoothbore bolt rifle called a Garden Gun. I don't recall if it was in 22M or just LR. In my case, carrying...

    I'm not military myself, just going on what I've been told.

    Fort Benning's site says it could be up to 16 weeks, depending on MOS, but apparently, not less than 10.

    I usually pick up my components at gun shows. The ones in nearby Columbus Ga happen at least every 6 months and coincide with the end of basic training at Fort Benning.
