Woah - that's a rather disturbing incident. Someone was watching over you on that day. Good to hear that it ended as well as it did.

Long before I became a LEO, I worked in a LGS. Back then the tiny SS Budachowski (sp) pistol in 25ACP became very popular as an off-duty gun for our NYC PD customers. That was until 3 officers got involved with a deranged man while they were out to dinner with their wives. Two officers opened...

I've said many times that the small pistol that you do carry is much more effective than the big pistol that you leave home because it's just a PITA to carry. IMO the Kahr PM9 is hard to beat for a totally concealable pistol with enough punch to get the job done.

The disease only lasts until these kids have to work for a living, pay taxes, buy homes and manage to make it all work while watching others get everything handed to them with the tax dollars paid by others. I've seen many of these liberal college kids get a rude awakening and begin to...

If the case was too long, the mouth could hit the crimp portion of the die and force the case into the bullet as it was being seated. This, in turn, could collapse the shoulder. Just one possibility.

LaPierre wasn't the only one benefitting from the misuse (abuse) of our money. There are several high-ranking officials that have got to go. And exactly who authorized LaPierre's $17 million severance package? The whole thing is outrageous.

It's pretty hard to determine what pressure level that you're at with a 45-70 levergun. As much as I like fast bullets, I keep my 45-70 ammo at my self-imposed limits. The 400gr class bullets are not shot over 1,700fps and the 300gr class bullets are not shot over 2,000fps. I've read plenty of...

" Getting old ain't for wimps ". LOL

For whatever reason, my 1895SBL only shoots "OK" with hardcast bullets. Sometimes I get a decent group while other times the same load will not group as well. Switching to jacketed bullets or monos solved the problem. The rifle shoots very well with most jacketed bullets and any number of...

By the time the battery in the new Garmin needs to be replaced, one of two things will happen: 1. The unit will be so outdated that you will want one of the 10 newer released chronographs anyway, or 2. You can look on YouTube and there will be a dozen videos showing you how to replace the...

Remove the stem - chuck up a bullet in a cordless drill - put a little lapping compound on the bullet ojive - ease the spinning bullet into the seating stem a few times, adding compound as needed. This should smooth the edge of the stem that is creating the ring on the Hornady bullets. Try...

We have discharge laws here. Notwithstanding NYS regs, there are town and county laws to contend with. Technically, you can't shoot a BB gun in your yard around here. Living in a dense suburb has its limitations. LOL

My request hasn't changed from one year to another. I'd like to see a 400gr-425gr Partition bullet designed for the 45-70.

I don't know if there are enough of them around to affect the native songbirds. They are, however, rather aggressive around the feeders. They will even fight with each other at the feeder. They have a short, curved beak which should make it hard for them to get the sunflower seeds out of the...

Nice video. Here on Long Island, we seem to have more Cardinals than Jays. Both of them will quickly take peanuts. The Cardinals often get caught in my squirrel trap which is baited with peanuts and peanut butter. Locally, we also have a large population of Monk Parrots. Supposedly, a large...

My 300RUM had just too much blast for my liking. I eventually rebarreled the rifle and chambered it in 30Nosler. It was a good move. Dropped my first bull elk with that 30Nosler.

I can't reload 9mm ammo for less than I can buy it for, so that's out. Other than that, it's only the rimfire cartridges that I buy.

I've got adequate supplies for now. I've been slowing down a bit and don't hunt as much as I used too but I still shoot fairly often. I'll pay what I need to until I finally decide to move in another direction. Things change with age.

Thanks for an interesting read. I was surprised to see anyone building rifles on a Rem 700 action for cases as large (in diameter) as the 378 Wby. I was always under the impression that a larger diameter action was needed. I know that there are a few 700s that are chambered in 338Lapua but most...

My buddy bought new 338 Lapua brass that was headstamped "BARNES". I thought that was odd.
