Didn't know it existed Thanks.

Dan, I hope your feeling better and didn't get blown away by the high winds we are experiencing. Yeah, this is the best forum I have had the pleasure to be associated with the members are fantastic and the Mods keep it clean and pleasant.

Me too, we had some great conversations.

Beautiful little shot gun. Europe would have said you should have got a Fox. (lol) Always loved those little shot guns and could shoot the heck out of them. I guess the factory stock just fit me right being right-handed. My dad had one but was in 12ga and would lock it up when we would go bird...

Back in December I was gifted a Mec Grabber 76 12ga reloading press, I posted here for information about an operator's manual since the press has been updated by MEC with different parts that my press doesn't have or they look different. and the new` manual is different. NY Dan replied he had...

Plus 1 on the Burris 1 3/4 X 5, perfect magnification range for a fast-handling carbine style rifle.

Plus 1, never have had a stuck case since I started using it. Use to use RCBS sizing honey and would stick cases regularly. the only thing I use a spray lubricant for is to lube the inside of the case mouths of .45acp since I use a custom powder funnel that expands the case mouths and super...

I've been here a long time and honestly never knew there as a sub forum and glad I didn't and still don't won't to know. There are lots of forums I visit and when they get crappy, I say my piece and leave them hanging not going back. Some forums have features where you can block or disregard the...

When they get more affordable, I would like one but for now I can't justify the cost since all I need to know is the velocity of my ammo.

I bought an E-1 3-9 with the red dot feature, and it is very clear with the red dot being very round, with the dot turned off you have a small black target dot reticule. It's a great scope for low light conditions when you have trouble picking up the cross hairs. I have it mounted on my 35AI.

I wouldn't shoot modern fast burning powder because it builds pressure fast, even wimpy loads. Should it come unlocked you would get a piece of brass flying out at your face. Ther should be loads for triple 7 or other black powder substitute powder that you could use safely.

Fantastic collection and well displayed. It's amazing how our ancestors used the materials on hand to make various tools that we have copied using metal and plastic.

Bad primer, if no powder it would have lodged the bullet in the barrel.

For light loads Hodgon Tite group is your friend. A starting load of 4.0grs under a 185gr LRNFP produces 819fps in an 8" barrel and 6,600cups. 4.5grs under a 200gr LRNFP produces 846fps in an 8" barrel and 8,600cups. This powder responds well with lower then published powder charges in pistol...

With that short barrel and light weight, I would go with a 180gr-200gr lead semi wad cutter being a close-range belly gun to hold recoil down and still have the terminal effect desired from a large hole and full penetration. Yeah I'm a SWC fan in handguns and they just flat-out work. No need for...

Amen Brother, every day is something different and a new challenge.

Gee I'm getting old forgetting the Rem 700 22-250 barrel was twisted 1-14". :oops:

No ballistic expert but rate of twist has a lot to do with it bullets key holing. My 257 Roberts with a 1-12" twist will not stabilize anything over 115gr and then it has to be a round nose bullet in 115gr. I believe the older 22-250s barrels were twisted 1-12" to shoot light bullets very fast.

If you buy or can compare a factory magazine or other aftermarket with a Metal Form you will be surprised to see that the follower is the only difference sometimes. I have Wilson, Chip McCormick and MecGar, granted I only use them in my full custom 1911 .45 acp and my 38 Super but Metal Form are...
