I have both: A P320 Compact in .40 and a P365. My P365 is one of the earlier ones, and while I know there were initially reports of broken firing pins with some of them, I have had no issues with mine. I absolutely love the way it handles for such a small weapon and carrying it is very easy in...

Great to hear!!

It was definitely coming to see if it could nab a fresh bird for breakfast. Totally stealthy.

I was hunting yesterday morning (Saturday the 26th). Heard a couple gobbles on the roost on out the ridge from where I was, but nothing close. Every 5 or 10 minutes I'd do some yelps to see if anything was moving my way. I'm hunting on the side of a ridge that's covered with trees and...

Those are the ancestors of the Ballistic Tips. Nosler took the same bullet and put a plastic tip on it.

Perfect. And that provides the answer that I was looking for, which is that coins are not consistent with their nominal weights. Thus, my results were not out of line with empirical data. Thank you. And yes, the nominal weights have changed over time, as the specific metal alloys have changed...

In the time it took you to write all of that, you could have stuck a dime on your scale and told me what it weighed. And still saved yourself a minute or two. ;)

I have a set of the Lyman weights. Some of them are spot on. Some of them aren't. Reading the reviews online, I've seen others say similar things.

So, to break down what you are saying... The scales are supposed to be accurate to .1 grain, as you said. And that would appear to be the case, EXCEPT... Weighing multiple dimes results in a difference of almost .3 grains from the expected value. There's a big difference, in my mind, between...

I'm just looking for a sanity check here. If a couple folks do the same as I did with their scales and get similar results, then I'll know it's a reasonable result.

But that agrees with what the US Mint says: https://www.usmint.gov/learn/coins-and-medals/circulating-coins/coin-specifications The pic you showed says a dime weighs 2.27 grams (actually 2.268, per the Mint). And then there are plenty of things like this: "All U.S. dimes minted since 1965...

So, I've been using an RCBS Chargemaster for several years now, without any apparent issue. However, it was fairly well-used when I got it, and I've had a concern about it dying unexpectedly on me. So, I've kind of been casually keeping an eye on the FA Intellidropper as a possible second unit...

My buddy has used the Nosler 240 and the XTP 300 to take several deer with his 44 mag Henry lever. They both worked well.

So, what would be the difference between the padauk and the flamed Osage?

Does the wood type make a difference in the tone, or is it just for appearance?

FYI, this thread is 15 years old. I figure he got his load worked out by now, lol.

Not that I'm a big-time turkey hunter, but I have yet to see the need for anything more than 3" shells. Every single one that I've fired has resulted in a dead bird, I think the count stands at 6 so far. I hunt a wooded area, so not trying to take 60-yard shots into a field. Our season here in...

I have my Marlin XS7 243 in a Boyd's Prairie Hunter stock. Drop-in fit, all I did was a little sanding in the barrel channel to make sure it wasn't touching anywhere. I've seen a few other rifles in their stocks, as well. Seem to be well made, just a little heavy for the laminates.

Jim, just curious. What distance did you shoot those targets? What is acceptable accuracy for you? Don't have any answers, just wondering what your goals were here.
