All, I've run into a problem with an LCR-x - on one chamber, the trigger will stick to the rear - I suppose technically, it's the notch opposite that chamber. I can cause it to pop forward by just pressing lightly on in, or by putting torque on the cylinder. I noticed that if I put a little...

Maybe it doesn't get love because it's ubiquitous? So common and casually effective that it isn't going to get hype? Don't have an answer, but I know it works very, very well.

So I'm clear, you have the Bear Hunter - with the longer barrel? Mine is closer to the Brush Hunter, with a 20 inch tube (though mine is sans magazine and doesn't have a threaded barrel). My Hornady manual uses a 20 inch barrel, and my Lyman uses a 24. It will be interesting to see your...

I have an older Savage in 375 Ruger which does not have a detachable magazine, making it a 2+1 proposition. I don't particularly find that to be much of a limitation, but the idea of a magazine sure is appealing. All that aside, what I continue to find most remarkable about it is how...

Man, I just saw a video on here that proved the 300 WM was an over powered cartridge and too expensive to shoot. And that after two rounds from the bench, you will say "ouch". :sneaky: Sorry, couldn't resist.

I thought this was put out by a gun mag writer. :rolleyes:

Have also been attacked by coyotes when I was just a cub, and had a friend treed by a pack of them when he was a young teen. I expect that as with most predators, they will be more likely to target humans if they perceive a good chance of success - smaller individuals or youths, or if they have...

Congrats! Amazing shot on a great looking bear.

I have some 44 special Starline that I load from time to time using Hornady 240gr LSWCHP and either 6.5 gr Unique or ~8 gr of Blue Dot. Pushing up higher with either powder would be perfectly fine if you are shooting in a magnum cylinder, but the wife prefers the milder loads. I doubt very...

Yup, thanks, brother. I need to learn how to search better. Also found this on the forum: https://forum.nosler.com/threads/impact-velocities-for-reliable-expansion.1347/

For the community - I have on my shelf some Nosler seconds, which I believe to be 30 cal 180gr ABs, does anyone know the minimum expansion velocity for those? I would be loading in 308 Win for a 20 inch barrel, and I'm trying to get an idea of maximum practical range for bullet performance...

Well, I suppose that at the end of the day, you can always break the seal. I know that's not your preference, but it may be the only way to find out once and for all.

Okay, there isn't much to go on with this can. 7 might be the factory where it was produced, or it might be the caliber, or the year of manufacture, or maybe none of those things. AE3, I think might actually be an A83. If, and I do mean IF, that is A83, then I suspect that it's a mark for the...

One of the things I find fascinating about this art is how much things can change from one load to the next and one rifle to the next. Keeps it interesting.

Not just in Florida, I see the fliers in my mailbox after every bad thunderstorm. Is it a scam? I don't think so, in the sense that everything they do is legal (assuming they aren't putting fraudulent information on the forms). My understanding is that it's more like they know how to work the...
