I agree that there is too much talk and too much reliability on latest bullet technology as a cure all for all things shooting related, but this a bullet/gun forum. What else are we going to talk...

9.3, the idea of magic bullets for today's law enforcement is all about preventing through and through over-penetration. It isn't easy to come up with a bullet that will expand to close to twice its...

As an added note - I think this is the major problem with many performance hollow points. They work well in a certain narrow range of velocity, but often fail to perform if the velocity drops below...

I think this is absolutely correct jcren except in addition to aiding in feeding, the aluminum core allows the soft lead core to be driven over 1000 fps without leading. If I could remember how to...

There can be a downside if you enjoy reloading ammunition. I bought a 1050 twenty years ago for doing 45 long colt as I had several lever guns and many single actions in that caliber. Set it up,...

In my experience, there isn't a manual powder measure made that throws perfectly consistent charges every time. Most of the time yes. All of the time…no. So if I was loading casual ammunition for...

I bought a thousand each of both the 38 cal and the 44 cal silver tip projectiles around 8 years ago or so, before they became ridiculously expensive and hard to find. Midway charges around 37...

Azrednek, I too am impressed with the ww silver tips - and have been since the early 80's when I first started using them. They are my go-to projectiles for defense for both 357 and 44 mag. Lots of...

Since DG opened up the conversation to all projectiles rather than simply cast or db wadcutters, I have found what I consider the best available round for a 2" snubnose. But it isn't 38 - I fire it...

In a time long, long ago I had a Ruger #1 in 375 H & H and loved that gun. But for some reason (being young and inexperienced had much to do with it) I was using the trunk of my VW Beetle to rest my...

I didn't read through all 23 pages of posts, so if someone already mentioned it, please excuse - but why not carry a pair of them? 12 rounds solves the capacity issues and a 2nd revolver isn't that...

Back in the mid 1980's, there was a bullet called the UltraShock which used a reversed hb wadcutter with a steel screw. That bullet was designed for the 357 but it was manipulated every which way to...

I use it for practice ammo in my Anschutz 1712. 1/2 inch groups are the average, but if I sort by rim thickness I can get many of the groups down to 3/8 inch at 50 yards. Many of the groups would...

I always used a KART conversion on mine, now discontinued. Made a Colt 1911 frame shoot slightly better than a Smith & Wesson model 41.

222 used to be the "cat's meow" for both long distance bunny hunting but especially long distance fox hunting. Usually when you scare one up, they stop to look back just as they exit the field you...

Put me down for one 170 gr WFN
Gosh, I haven't put myself down for a mold in so long I forgot what information you need.

Simple precaution is to not use liquids/solvents that were not intended nor designed to take on temperature extremes. Of course, you still have to worry about combining chemicals any time you use...

Yep. After seeing what gun related stuff is going for currently on ebay, I stopped even checking for items. Best to wait til things cool down and some semblance of sanity returns.

As Dale53 alluded to, there is also the recoil difference. With anything but fairly light loads, a single action recoils by lifting up the muzzle to the extent that fast follow-up shots are...

Our local gunshop has a brand new 500 S & W BFR. But I passed because they make it with the 45-70 cylinder to keep costs down. Seemed like way to much cylinder length and weight for only the 500...

That's right. I think the final price was $464, with one set of dies and a die removal tool. Granted, it was a very clean original San Diego machine but I have 3 machines I bought on ebay that were...

The old winchester magnum rounds always used to come with flat tips. One of the best small game hunting rounds ever. But as a kid, hunting with our 22's, the regular solid nose always did the job,...

It's a dynamite cartridge simply because it is so flat shooting. You can shoot dead on at 50 yards...and still me basically dead on at 100. My Anschutz in 22 lr is more accurate, but I have to peg...

I've been waiting half my life to get an Anschutz 22 for some seriously accurate but easy on the pocket book plinking and friendly competition. Now that I have finally done it, I find that the price...
