My Governor is having a problem firing CCI Large Rifle primers. The FTF cases show a Very light primer indentation. Either the mainspring is weak or the firing pins are too short (either one means a...

Don't know if anyone gave you a powder recommendation yet, but think it's hard to go wrong with AA#5 or HS6 for Lee slugs. At least they are listed by Lee on the slug instructions. I don't have...
Which load are you using? I have used cut wad petals to gain a taller stack when making less than max loads, but only use a hard card when the load calls for it.
Son of a gun! I have the same problem with my WesternField pump (but not, of course, with the S&W Governor). As a test, I just tried some new, unloaded MagTech brass cases in the pump, and they...
What powder do you use with that? I bought some Alliant 410, and still have some WC820.
Are these brass cased loads with a glued-in overshot card standing up to recoil? Been thinking about trying some of these in the Governor - just for fun. Waterglass is about $27 a gallon with...
What's the compressive strength of a sabot as compared to lead? I'm curious because we shoot oversized lead bullets all the time, and just rely on the "enormous" pressure of the expanding gas to...
I bought a Governor 2 weeks ago (don't know why) and I'm amazed at the price of 410 ammo. So naturally I bought a new MEC 600, Jr loader, hulls, Alliant 410 powder, shot, etc. (Ain't it great to save...
Going thru some stuff I found this "Old World" holster, made in Italy and sold out of Oregon City, OR. (Maybe Michael's?) I really don't remember what I bought it for, but, assuming I wasn't as...
A few years ago I bought a grip "wrapper" that was pre-cut for my CW40 from some outfit that was located in Detroit (if I recall correctly). Kinda looks like suede leather, but is really vinyl or...
I really doubt that they'ed take you seriously if you offered to trade straight up, but the Ruger and $100 boot might get it. I just sold a P239 SAS on GunBroker for $700, and the guy used "Buy It...
I just bought one of these because I was told (several times) that it uses the same mags as my Marlin Camp 9 (for which I have many mags). Wrong! The 5946 won't retain any of the Camp 9 mags, but...
I've still got an old Smith which has had a fine action job done on it. Looks like the *** end of hard times, but there's a certain satisfaction in shooting that old .38 that I just can't get from an...

Buy a half dozen Romanian trainers with "Express" sights, share 'em with friends and family, sit for hours on the back porch plinking at "Targets of Opportunity". Dirt cheap fun.

Yeah - but only good for us meat hunters.

It would have been nice if they held the volume of the can constant with the straight wall cans - seems like an opportunity to fleece the buyer (along the lines of "never let a crisis go to waste").

I just discovered a new (to me) way to rip-off the customers. Bought a can of pink salmon at the local Harp's grocery - got it home before I realized the damn thing is tapered! The top is "standard"...
I have a Camp Carbine with lots of 9mm mags, so I've been thinking about a Smith to go with it. Had a 659 once - pretty good but kinda heavy (for a 9). Seems like a 5903 (stainless/alloy) would be a...

Why exempt the Corps of Engineers? When they "improve" something it becomes theirs - especially as a revenue source. I wish they had never come into the State - much like the rest of the Federal...
Made the trade. Kinda like the way it sits in my hand - now to get it to the range and see if I can develop a fondness for the .45. :D
My goal of selling off my guns seems to be side-tracked again. I put an Omega muzzle loader with an Omega scope that I just couldn't warm up to on consignment at the local shop. It sat there...
AG Russell Woodswalker in a Kydex neck sheath. Seems to do all the "light work" that needs done, and sure is handy to carry. I've probably got or tried most of the sharpeners, but the one used now...

Sounds logical to me. I would think that before a man left for an extended trip "over the mountains" he took the time to cast into bullets all of the lead that he was going to carry. Any...

I may have been the first "squeeking wheel". When SSB originally announced that he had "made a mistake", I insisted on a refund, right then, and got it. Can't say that I'm very proud of holding his...
