    Federal’s Plus Peak 6.5 Creedmoor

    Yeah, I was reading that on the articles, but I hesitate on whether it makes physical sense. With most new products with strong claims my reaction is the same; the claims could be true, but until somebody really tests it, (somebody is isn't being paid to market the product that is) then I tend...

    Federal’s Plus Peak 6.5 Creedmoor

    How does it end up being less recoil? I assumed if you run 30 cal. bullet of a certain weight out of steel case and a brass case at the same velocity, they are going to be generating the same energy? In which case energy out the barrel being the same means energy into your shoulder would be the...

    Federal’s Plus Peak 6.5 Creedmoor

    Still wonder about practical reloadability on steel cases. In the end I don't care much though because I actually want to avoid the extra velocity.

    Lever Gun Considerations

    :unsure: Well I have a hard time imagining firing a 44 mag from a handgun, but it is a fair consideration for a rifle.

    Thanks for the comments, there are lots of good thoughts here.

    Free Reloading and Inventory Software

    It is, but my brother told me that they did split off from Debian too, so I am not precisely sure where compatability could deviate. I spend a lot of time around tech people, but I am not one, so I'm not exactly sure how it works!

    I am currently using POP OS which is Ubuntu based.

    Lever Gun Considerations

    So I have been thinking about lever guns. Always liked a lot about them, but considered them a secondary option to a bolt gun if I were to go hunting. I am now reconsidering this. I am left eye dominate and therefore shoot left handed with rifles, and lever guns easily accomodate this. I live in...

    Free Reloading and Inventory Software

    This sounds pretty neat. My computers are part of the dark side though, any possibility of a Linux build? 😅

    Gun socks for storage in safe to prevent scratches? Rust?

    I also use Ballistol, and have Frog Lube, although I don't find Frog Lube to be as convenient to use for my maintenance methods. Love the smell of Frog Lube so much though. I want to get some Slip 2000 gun oil, it is synthetic high performance stuff, but non-toxic and eco-friendly. I also found...

    Gun socks for storage in safe to prevent scratches? Rust?

    Polyester is probably better I would think because it won't hold moister near the gun as much? I have thought about making a waxed canvas sleeve for my shotgun when I don't want it to get wet outdoors, that might be good for in a safe too. Anything is probably OK if the safe itself isn't humid...

    Super Bowl Stats

    Really? That surprises me. I thought it wasn't very popular outside the US.

    Super Bowl Stats

    This is maybe a sign to me that Americans are the only ones foolhardy enough to keep playing football... :unsure:

    1911 build

    If it is a Tisas slide, it should be pretty good. I have listened to the late gunsmithing legend Bob Dunlap talk about being consulted by Tisas on how to build their 1911s and they did a very thorough job. If they are still buliding them the same way, they should be made using centrifugal...
