Up till now it's been pure speculation... but I've always figured some of the new powders didn't have the shelf life of the old powders.
The newest type of powder I have is Reloder 26, which seems to be keeping fine so far (6 or 7 years old)...I never tried any of the enduron powders.
I do...
I didn't read all the replies so if this has been mentioned already I apologize.
Oil in the chamber or on the brass will prevent the brass from gripping the chamber walls and greatly increase bolt thrust, which will cause ejector marks at well below max pressure.
I ran into this years ago with...
The 30-30 can do it all around here for sure.
I'm partial to the 35... don't currently have one, but have had 2 or 3 in the past that I really liked... I've had my eye out for a good deal on one for a while.
My current lever gun is my 41 mag Henry carbine...I haven't hunted much the past 2 or...
Making 280 brass from 30-06... the shoulder on 280 brass is .050" taller on the case, they did that to prevent the bolt from closing if someone loaded 280 in a 270.
How did the reformed 30-06 brass headspace in the 280 chamber?
I know this "could" be fireformed by jamming the bullet into the...
Dang.... I may need to sell some stuff... I've got roughly 1500 or so 160 Accubonds, several pounds of RL26 and MRP.
Could probably pay off the house, 😆
No we don't keep anything... the only fish we care to eat are trout, salmon, and flounder... besides, all the water in the Tennessee River is nasty in more ways than one... from sewage to waste from Oak Ridge.
We just like catching big ole fish...catfish are the low hanging fruit, lol...
The boat is all equipped now by the way...225ah worth of lithium batteries, 80 pound thrust Minn Kota Terrova, Helix 9 MSI+ fish finder, and a grill.... enough batteries to fish several days or nights between charges.
Time on the water, especially at night, when the crowds are gone is awesome.
I'm wearing a Milt Sparks belt, been wearing it since 2007....I like good old fashioned leather.
When I ordered it I didn't like the idea of paying $110 for a belt... but after 15 years of wearing it I'd buy another one in a heartbeat.
Edited to add.... I've worn this every day for 15 years...
Well...I guess S&W revolvers are like pringles, once you start you just can't stop.
Was talking with my mother in law, she's a gun gal, telling her about not finding the 686 Plus and all that.
I had forgotten that she has one she bought several years ago, turns out she wants a Kimber K6S...
The ones you have look really good...
It's the race gun look I don't much care for on mine... but I have to admit, those race gun parts (front sight, cylinder release) DO work great.
I'm really happy with it though despite the looks, I'll probably always say it ugly... but so are Glocks and...
Want to add.... I'm not trying to make fun of anybody else's 686 Performance Center...it's just that I really like the looks of the plain jane 686 in either 4 or 6 inch.
The PC model is a fine handgun, I just prefer the more traditional look... but hey, for the price I got it for I'll learn to...
Picked up another wheel gun yesterday....S&W 686 Performance Center, 4 inch, 6 shot.
I went looking for a 4 inch 686 plus, but nobody had any... was about to take a 6 inch until I noticed the barrel was slightly off (not clocked just right, wasn't off much but it was off).
I handed it back and...
My shotgunning is pretty much limited to clays these days, but in my youth I walked all over the county hunting grouse, quail, rabbits, and squirrels with shotguns.
In those days all I had was an old hand me down Victor Special (very old store brand gun) 16 gauge single that was my Grandads (I...
With rifles yes.
With handguns shooting right handed and left eyed is no problem.
My wife does, Hickok45 does, my son used to (his eye dominance switched on its own for some reason).

240 grain 41 caliber handgun Partition.
Heck, even a 240 grain jacketed soft point would be nice if they make it tough enough to handle rifle velocities (1,800 fps and good weight retention), I'm sure that's easier to make since they seem to have given up...
