In '95 I found a BRNO Mauser 98/22 of '24 vintage in a Big 5 store here in Las Vegas for $89. It was in full cosmoline and a few hours in a black plastic garbage bag and wrapped in paper towels and...
I have a Taurus M 85 ultralight that I regularly practice with at 40 yds. I shoot at a 16" gong and I can usually hit the silly thing 5 out of 5 times with that little .38 Spcl. My EDC is a Smith...

I had a CA 44 Bulldog as a carry gun for years. Nowdays at 80 with less flexability and dimming eyesight I opted for a moden carry gun. I had a Smith & Wesson Shield 2.0 9 mm EZ CT w/safety follow...
I had $750 in my pocket and there was a custom made 25-06 rifle awaiting me. Alas under the glass counter top sat a minty ( mm Hi-Power made and assemble in Belguim. Guess what follwed me home? ...
Earlier I carried a Buldog 44 with a ground down hammer spur with two tuff speed strips or a Charter Arms Patriot in 327 mag that carried 6 shots along with two tuff speedstrips with 8 shots apiece....
OK y'all made me a believer. It really smarts since almost all of my reloading stuff is in a storage unit. Alll I had left was a rockchucker.
I had to buy the following: powder funnel, powder...
I have two CA wheelguns. The major one is a .44 Cal bulldog pug without a hammer spur in blued steel. It is a fantastic concealed carry gun. It is light and packs really big whollup when loaded...
Well the old fart did it again. Rember I am the guy who cast his boolits without use of handles on lee 6 bangers?
I recently bought a new 9mm and I needed ammo. I end up loading about 150...

I have a 50-90 Sharps by Winchester in model 1885 with Kelly soule sights and with a 695 gr boolit and 100 gr of Swiss 1 1/2 it kicks like a mule. I thinking of selling it as my right shoulder joint...

My experience with the Loadmaster was the opposite. I got everything up to snuff except for the blasted primer feed mechanism. No matter what I tried nothing worked consistently with that in 100...
I believe the Joker (Batman movie nemisis) used one of those 32's with a longer barrel than the Guesser's and he managed to hit Batman's car/plane.

I have a Winchester 1885 in 50-90 Sharps by Miroku of Japan. It is one of the 200 in the series. I cannot believe that a buffalo hunter would spend a day shooting this land cannon all day long with...

I hav a pair of hungry Garands that seem to thrive on 311284 CB's wrapped with IMR 4895 powder over a cci primer. You can find loadings easily and adjust accordingly. I have found the best accuracy...

I have two Lee 6 bangers that I bought new in '95. They were both for my .38's/357's. I bought another in 2005 for my Ruger P-90 in .45. All of them have been used a lot and cared for carefully...

My pride and joy is a Winchester Model 1885 Miroku in 50-90 Sharps. Then there is a Marlin 336 Cowboy with an octagonal barrel of 30" in length in 38-55 Winchester. A Winchester 94 in 30-30...

Forum: Smokeless Paper Patching
I paper patch my 311284's and cover the base so I do not add the gas check and I shoot them in my Garands. I also add PSB's to fill the case to the base of the boolit and my usual velocity is 1850...
I have a pair of Garands. I feed them both the Lyman 311284 paper patched without a gas check. I make sure to cover the base of the bullet and I also open up the case mouth pretty wide to accept...
Get her a Taurus 1911 and spend less than $500 on it. Then buy her a decent Smith & Wesson .38 Revolver with a 4" barrel. I would not get a J frame as heavy use will loosen it up too much. ...
I came into my 586 in '92 where I swapped a Model 10 2" and $200 for a 6" Smith 586. I still have it. I had the action and trigger worked over and it is a truly very accurate shooter. My wife loved...
