Whether this would work with a real rifle I have no idea. As a kid I had a toy setup, revolver and rifle. On the lever, in approximately same location as shown in your picture, was a little...

My recoil story involves a 12 ga pump shotgun. I don't know what brand or how big it was. I was 17 and had a summer job working at the State airport, with Operations. Nearby the airport was a...

I had a similar problem with a brass mold, I think it was an Arsenal. I looked at other molds from the same manufacturer and noticed the one I had problems with, the pins were on opposite sides from...
I'm not an expert on these things but I believe the 25-odd numbers are 45 Colt and the 25-even numbers are the 45 ACP.
The SAAMI designation is 45 Colt...
When they first announced these, they said they would have a 2" and a 3" and I decided to wait for the 3". After watching all the original 2" disappear then reappear, I'm doubting the 3" is real. I...

I'm sure that that gun is doing exactly what POF designed it to do. Make money for them.
As far as the aesthetics go, I don't care for them. Myself, I'm awaiting a Henry Big Boy Steel in 45 Colt...

I appreciate all of the info and responses, but as you point out, I'm beginning to suspect there might be a good bit of Vodou involved as well. Its a wonder how any of us are still around with all...

I'm also using this Ranch Dog bullet from Arsenal. I have it at 1.060" OAL to fit into my HK P30. My mold is a 4 cavity brass. I am powder coating this bullet. 4.0 gr Win244 gives me an average...

I've attached a printout from Hodgdon's Reloading data. This shows loads for 45 ACP 230 gr bullets using CFE Pistol. One is a cast bullet, the other is FMJ. These two listings have the...
I thought I was having a mag problem with the LCP Max when I first got it. I called Ruger. Before I could finish describing the problem I was having, the guy stopped me and said they'd send a new...
I have one of those, but I haven't shot it enough to offer any advice; thus I remained quite.
What I have done, with 3 Charter revolvers, is to paint the front site with a base coat of white. I...
Well I started my shooting today. I'm shooting at 50 ft. I chose that range because I have some 50 ft slow fire pistol targets and that distance fits comfortably in my backyard range. Another...
Ok, I think I'm starting to understand. You were looking at the amount of pressure listed for each powder and the associated velocity for that load. I hope I can say this correctly, with a higher...
Its this kind of information that I know nothing about; something I'm hoping to learn. How did you determine the pressure hit max to soon? Could I ask what's involved with your investigation? ...
I don't shoot well enough to compete. I carry factory ammo for defense against people (if the situation arose, it might be used as defense against critters; I live out in the woods). If I'll be...
I'm glad you brought that up, I meant to ask but forgot to. With multiple powders available, I'm not sure how to make a choice. I'm using a 135 gr Ranch Dog bullet. As an example Hodgdon's site...
I'm about to start working on my first cast 9mm load. I have a new 9mm pistol that I am going to use for this. Powder coating the bullets. The pistol has a 3.85" barrel. It has polygonal rifling....
I'd be careful with those boat rides. You wouldn't believe the number of people that seem to have boating accidents, loosing their guns.
Those look very nice. Good job. I like the gloss on those.
You can make your own Danish oil by thinning varnish. Apply it multiple times, in very thin coats and there is almost no sanding that...
Larry, I have no idea as to how any of that gear works. I thought I read another post you made, not long ago, which said that the actual pressures between SAAMI and CIP were the same, the difference...
I have no way of verifying their claim, but if you read the info from Charter, they claim their design is much stronger than most people give them credit for. I don't know about the older ones but...
As is evident from this discussion, we see the true reason behind these laws (I know I'm preaching to the choir here).
I'm certain that after trying to go through this procedure, the bad guys are...

OK guys, thanks. I didn't think it would make much difference but figured it couldn't hurt to ask. Ask far as location goes, its the FL panhandle a couple of miles south of AL.

I just used Ammoseek.com to check for 45-70 brass. Quite a few listings came up. This one was at the top of the list. I think, generally, the higher up the list they are, the cheaper they are. ...
