If you want .45 Colt loads- no matter what power level- use .45 Colt brass. If you are going to use .454 Casull brass, use .454 Casull loads. Trying to put the load for one cartridge in brass of a...

I still thank my lucky stars!

Back in the 80's I was in grad school in SoCal. My daily commute took me past the industrial complex where Dornaus & Dixon manufactured the Bren Ten. Being a young and eager gun nut, I spent (too)...

I use 230 grain bullets only- both jacketed and cast- in all my 1911's and no other weight. I use W231 or Red Dot and have none of the issues you describe. Barrel length has no bearing on brass...

Thank you for this! My darling wife of 36 years is a doctor. Like many physicians, her bachelor's degree is in biochemistry. She is also an avid hunter who accounts for all of the deer in our...

I bought my first Barsto barrel in 1979. I've bought 6 more since then, as recently as the summer of 2018. I have experienced total professionalism and top-notch quality from them over the years.

Cheap is not going to be the final statement about the worth of this rifle. Like any gun, this may be one that shoots good with any powder you select. OTOH, it may be the most finicky thing you've...

Didn't Turnbull do a Bisley Vaquero a few years ago? Talk about scratching an itch!

That's not quite correct. In case you were not aware, Canada has three classes of firearms: Prohibited, Restricted, Non-Restricted. EVERY firearm in Canada is accorded a place in one of these...

Rossi handled this by only releasing 50-60 of these, accidentally, IN CANADA. Gun laws are different in Canada than the U.S.

I believe that since you are not a manufacturer with an SOT, what you are doing is "modifying" a firearm. This would require dedicating the barrel AND receiver to this project and subsequent NFA...

And the year before that...

When you consider that Ruger chambers the 10mm Auto in the Blackhawk and it has a SAAMI max pressure of 37,500 PSI (259 MPa), and the .454 Casull is SAAMI spec'd somewhere 60,000 CUP (410MPa)...

Sturm, Ruger & Company built their business by driving the public's interest, not reacting to it.

Are you kidding? I live in the Pacific Northwet. It starts raining in October or November and doesn't stop until July! I have all winter long to fill ammo cans, and stay out of my wife's way!

Jesse is a great guy to deal with. He has done a Mauser barrel and a Contender for me, and 3 or 4 projects for my brother. Call him directly- he is very happy to answer questions from people who are...

Gopher,

That looks identical to the green jasper we find out here on the Oregon beaches when we are agate hunting. A brief trip to a jeweler who specializes in gems and semi-precious stones, or an...

What is your issue with the 1:38 twist of the Marlin? I have an 1894P .44 Mag and have no problems with iron-sight 150 yard accuracy- it's been minute-of-elk accurate since 2001. Friends with the...

Private party sale or dealer/gun shop/pawnshop?

Is anyone excited about the new Ruger model 57?

No, not really.


When the cartridge first came out, people around the world said, "Oh, that's nice." A tiny percentage of people bought them.

I have this one

There is nothing wrong with the primer appearance on your .40 S&W brass. You have a firearm that was built to fire a cartridge with a Large Pistol Primer. You are now firing a Cartridge with a Small...

Hickok,

I had to laugh when I read this. I went through the "every possible pistol cartridge in a Contender" phase. And, like many Contender shooters, I learned that some combinations are just no...

Well, I bought my first Glock in 1989- a 17, of course- and I still have it. The G19 I bought a year later is STILL my wife's EDC. Both of those guns have over 200,000 rounds through them. My...

It's hard to say without having your gun in my hands to examine it closely, but I have a hunch you are having headspace issues with the moon clips you are using. I only shoot 10mm in all of my 10mm...
