My answer today is far different than it was seven years ago. Back then, I had $20/k primers and $25/lb powder…or cheaper. I still have those components but cannot replace them at close to those...

James, I have had some stupid wants over the years. One was wanting a M70 in .375 H&H. After shooting that .338, I knew I could not handle many full power .375’s but I figured I could shoot cast...

Ten rounds of 338 Win Mag is all I want to endure.

A good "heads up" wrt to Walther. It seems it is not the company it was decades ago.

I had a PPK and one of their target air pistols long ago and they were flawless.

Now that is funny if true. In all my years of competitive shooting, the only time a shoot has been canceled/delayed is due to severe weather events. I saw a picture of an outhouse being blown...

I am too anal and competitive to be that unprepared…but that does not matter if you have fun!

Nice clean build.

A gear motor would be an improvement over air cylinders IMO. There was a guy (German IIRC) who did one and the video of it was impressive. But he had about $3000 into it. I...

What a neat idea!

Never seen it before.

Another powder that I would try is CleanShot. I have some published data for it in the .45 LC with 200 gr RN bullet:

3.3 gr for 363 fps
8.2 gr for 1031 fps.

I have had two. A BakFlip on an F350 and and a Rough Country on a F150. Both hard tri-folds.

If you ride dusty roads the bed and stuff in it will be covered in dust. They shed water...

Do not get hung up on a particular powder especially for light pistol loads. It isn't rocket surgery. I bought 30 lbs of powder I had never used when I found it on sale for $15/lb delivered. ...

I have used pumice stone to remove rust on toilets. Bought it on Amzon. Comes in a stick.

Something else went wrong. If you expected a mild load and that happened, it bears more investigation. You would have to seat the bullet quite deeply to cause a large pressure spike.

Glad you...

73, rediscovered air guns about three years ago. I decided PCP guns were my best choice. Extreme accuracy, and no cocking effort. I now have four.

No regrets.

Get your gun repaired and...

Where do you aim on one of these critters?

Exactly. The prime objective is making money. Servicing customers is a necessary “evil” to that objective.

And I do not blame them. I have no loyalty to them either. When excellent...

I regret not buying more of the Wolf and Tula primers when they were $16/k.

If we would stop pissing in Russias Cheerios, I bet we would see $35/k primers again. Nothing wrong with those...

Not a pro, but will disagree with you. I agree that for 95%, or more, of shotgunners, they could not tell the difference unless they use a pattern board.

No different than saying cast...

I used to do dry fire and it works but seems boring and onerous…at least for me.

If you can afford to spend a little bit of money, an air pistol is a lot of fun. A CO2 .177 will cost less than...

Should be fine. Over 600 gallons of propane.

As an older man (73) it is not too onerous to now have a lifetime supply. Years of hoarding, buying stuff on sale, plus now shooting less. Granted, I cannot shoot as much as I want, but I can...

Just an update wrt using paper straws for .38 Spl "shot" cups.

The 9mm straws were too large. The 9mm straws just barely fit a slightly belled .38 case but would not seat down far enough. I...

Good post. Just because something is possible does not make it a good idea.

That is a nice pattern Steve!

I used Unique for 20 ga but there are a lot of good powders. Unique is tough to get now.

My suggestion is to use a powder that you will also use for pistol or reduced rifle loads.

The way...
