    Oil prices to come down with OPEC increased production

    My real name is Mr Earl

    Max velocity for that bullet weight is 3800 per Sierra where I got the load data. No pressure signs, but I don't want to wear out a 95 year old action. Ballistics table shows that even 3700 fps will keep a sub 1" point blank range for 225 yards.

    You know Russia is part of OPEC. High gas prices under Biden were due to loss of refineries under Trump

    Bullets for reduced recoil loads

    I have found the Game King bullets to be very accurate. Under 2800 fps I would use on deer.

    Front sight LCRX 38 spc 3" fell off. What would be a good replacement?

    All of a sudden I noticed all shots going over the top of the paper. Apparently the front sight had fallen off! Couldn't find the sight or the roll pin. I see a HiViz sight offered. I went ahead an ordered it. What would be a good replacement? Is a fiber optic sight durable and a step up? Other...

    So i picked up some Titegroup at North40 farm supply. $34. Not bad for today prices and it looks like I can use in 38 special too.

    Gallery and subsonic load rifle powders disappearing, what's left?

    I wonder why IMR dropped their Red, Green, Target so fast. I bought the Green for $14 in 2023. I saw the Alliant version of Green Dot for $54 last winter. Seems like if IMR could sell something for $14 a couple of years ago they could make big bucks selling it for $40+ now.

    Gallery and subsonic load rifle powders disappearing, what's left?

    Thanks, titegroup looks like a good one being insensitive to position and hodgdon has subsonic lacketed loads for 308 and 30-06. Cast bullets are more forgiving, so titegroup should be easy to find loads for them.

    New addition

    My wife has one like the black one. She paid quite a lot for a brand name, came to find out the bottom was vinyl after a bit of wear. Sometimes making it yourself can be better quality. I bet those teachers will really get a lot use and enjoyment from those.

    Oil prices to come down with OPEC increased production

    Looks like we are in for another oil price drop (with drop in gas prices and increase in natural gas prices likely) like the last two time Popus was in office. The downside is like the last times, we are losing drill rigs and refineries in the US because the price of oil is too low to make a...
