Yep, that's the forum. It's been a long time since I asked that question there. I also published an article in the Louisiana Shooting Association news letter about IHMSA with photos. I got two new...
As far as lack of interest in IHMSA. In Louisiana I'm on a local forum that is based on the shooting sports. Huge activity on that forum. I asked the question there why isn't handgun silhouette more...
That's the reality here in Louisiana. I sponsor matches at three different ranges in my state. It has gotten to the point that I often have only one other shooter besides myself. I had to drop my...
What I have heard in reference to the truncated cone design is that it has better long range stability than a SWC design. If you are considering a bullet heavier than 240 grains, check Accurate molds...
In my early days of IHMSA I was using a Ruger Super Blackhawk with cast bullets. I used 2400 powder with excellent results. That combination was very common then. This was the early 80s. For jacketed...

Lethality on birds like a dove does not depend on individual pellet energy. It is more dependent on multiple pellet hits. Number 6 shot will have more energy at longer distances than a smaller shot...

Thanks for the reply, Larry. We can always rely on you for good information. How close are the velocities you measure to the advertised velocity.
Not 22LR, but years ago I used my Oehler 33 to...

And as far as velocity goes, your particular firearm probably wont deliver the stated velocity. It could be higher or lower.

Two years ago I found a deteriorating can of powder in my cabinet. VV133. Not long after I found another can of bad powder in the cabinet, Again VV133 and it had a different batch number. The fumes...

This is a good reason to use a higher quality, subsonic ammo. HV ammo suffers from a loss of stability as it makes the sonic transition on the way to 100 yards and group sizes get larger past 50...

There are three versions of the Cowboy Lever Rifle game. CLA uses full size targets with the 30-30 cartridge being in common use. Pistol Cartridge category uses the same targets as the NRA Hunter...

I clean each of my pots when I see more crud buildup than I'm comfortable with. I drain the pot and take out the valve rod. I scrub the inside of the pot with a wet scotchbrite pad and completely...

I read printed books every day and have been doing so for quite a while. Almost exclusively crime drama and action books. I never really got interested in history or the classics. I also keep all my...
I have a couple 7 TCUs that I shoot cast in and 2015 is what I use. My scoped XP100 will shoot moa when I do my part

Agreed. I recently started casting the bullets I'll need for the coming competition season. I did it over a three day period. When I visually sorted I had only a small handful of culls. The remaining...

There is a piece that was attached to the bottom of the screw that has broken off. You will have to dismount the lube-sizer from the bench and remove that broken part from the bottom, then order a...
I believe the cylinder stop is a separate piece and fits into the opening in the side plate on your gun. I seem to remember seeing instances where that stop would somehow go missing.

Years ago I got an assortment of type metal. There were some pieces that looked like foundry type. But when I added them to my pot they didn't melt at normal casting temperature. I removed them from...

If you're going to Lockhart for BBQ, I can recommend Black's. I didn't get a chance to check the other BBQ establishments in that town but I really liked Black's.
