I have seen J-Frames carried in the front pocket with a cylinder width of ~1.3". The XD Service .45acp is right at ~1". Shouldn't be a concern in slacks. It is a bit tall though. I could never carry rear pocket. Too uncomfortable for me. A Friend of mine is a bit large and he has no problems...

Thanks for the work. They both look great. I wish they would start stoking up the furnaces and get their production lines moving. I never see the Deep Curls available anywhere. It looks like they've focused on the heavier weights for each caliber size. I'm thinking that due to their excellent...

That's good performance at an energy level which doesn't invoke fear. Hope it works out for her. The only experience I have with this cartridge is second hand knowledge. One of my fathers friends shoots the 300gr Speer bullet. He is looking for oomph tho and believe his velocity is in he...

A young 700 lb bull moose and a 355 lb black bear using a 270 Win and the 140gr AB.

Volquartsen has a pile of 10-22 parts. I've used their triggers on Ruger Mk IIs on was very satisfied.

Those are from a 444? Lots of meat left on those bones! What was the mv?

Agreed on all points Dubyam. Not sure what it is but game just seems to feel that .358 bullet a bit more in my experience. I've lamented enough on this forum already and have finally decided to find a new donor for my Whelen project. The intended victim just shoots too good to break it down...

30-06 165gr @ 2925fps 180gr @ 2800fps 200gr @ 2575fps 220gr @ 2450fps 338-06 180gr @ 3000fps 200gr @ 2825fps 225gr @ 2675fps 35 Whelen 180gr @ 3000fps 200gr @ 2850fps 225gr @ 2700fps 250gr @ 2600fps 310gr @ 2300fps The 30-06 is so versatile but the 338-06 and the 35Whelen offer more a$$...

YH - I have the same sentiment. No reason to apologize when you have done no wrong. Thanks for the breakdown on the rules in your territory. Very insightful. Looks like you need more Border Patrol personnel to keep the unwanteds out... Those three cartridges should cover every scenario you...

That .444Marlin sounds like a great choice for her, especially with the 250gr bullet. There's no reason why that won't intimidate a blackie to roll over for her. Do you have any 200gr loads for your BLR worked up? That is always an option which shouldn't give her much anxiety on the recoil...

I'm familiar with both and have several single stack SIGs. I prefer the SIG manual of arms but the P226's grip doesn't fit me well. The 92F fits me better but I'm not a fan of the pistol. They both have a high bore height and felt recoil and barrel flip is similar. If they both fit good in your...

Gotcha, I knew you had once said that there were signs that it may have been re-blued but I don't recall you mentioning the quality of the bluing. That's a solid stable of M70's. Any one of your wish list would be a great addition. Your decision to not customize one of those 30-06s into a...

That Sir is one fine hunting rifle. Nice work. Did you redo the bluing also?

Don't mean to hijack this but since RL-15 is being discussed...Friday I was at a small gun shop with a friend who was picking up a new rifle. I asked if he had any powder or primers and he said he didn't deal with that stuff. He came out from his back room a few minutes later with two lbs of...

I am in need of 5 or 10 round mags for an M1A. Until I am able to move from my current residence, this is the only way I can legally shoot my rifle. Even a link to a source would be helpful. Currently the online auctions are in a price gouging frenzy. Painful.

Good to see you stretch out the Whelen again Scotty. Nice, repeatable results are inspiring and comforting. I too jest and hope that none of my comments were misconstrued as hateful. Personally, I find it humorous that one could get riled up about one's cartridge choice. I didn't sense any real...

I've never seen it on a shelf to date.

Don't get me wrong, I can use a few of the RL-19 loads I made without concern. They gave acceptable accuracy and good velocity in my rifle but IMR-4350 and RL-22 were better. The same can be said about IMR-7828, good loads, just not the best for me.

I have also experienced better results using RL-22 vs RL-19 in my 25-06. With the 110gr AB and 51.0gr, I get good accuracy at 3220fps.

I guess in this age of "everyone's a winner" and "there are no failing grades" that we can give credit where credit is due... :) In all seriousness, I don't own a Whelen only because my donor rifle was shot and it gave me consistent .75" groups with little load development effort. So now I...
