I have them for my 25.06, when i was researching they sometimes caused pressure spikes, so they started coating them. They shoot fine as I recall but only loaded a couple dozen. And now that im writing this I think I have some 6.5 too that ive never messed with.
Ive held one of the kimber DS 10s in the store and i have a kimber 2k11 in 9mm and they are similar but didn't have them side by side to really compare
I wouldn't say I am a snob, but they do have to be quality, well built and from a reputable manufacturer(usually USA manuf., but not all). My revolvers are split between Ruger and S&W, with a Kimber thrown in, and range from 22LR to 500S&W. The semi autos have a broader array of manufacturers.
Well the staking tool made it in Saturday, so got everything installed and able to take it to the range. It didn't fall apart! Haha success! I was able to run 50 rounds of Norma 230 ball, and 20 rounds of Nosler 185 hollow point, using 3 different magazines and not one issue, the wife even put a...
The staking tool I need isn't scheduled to deliver until Monday. I think I will try some bead blasting on the short slide for practice this weekend, also check out my wood supply for the possibility of making my own grips.
I had to look, and if your WY Shot was a week later I would have a chance to go, we have a big estimate going in the 24th so there is no chance I'll be able to get away
I wasn't too interested, but I have now looked at it a little. The best thing they did was use it in an existing cartridge like the others have said, don't need a new gun, just buy a box of ammo and see for yourself. The data on the 155gr fusion tipped looked interesting. I have a creed that...
I have shoot several whitetails with a m 94 30-30, and also a single shot H&R when i was younger and much slimmer guy. I know you said max shot would be 200yd but how often would that actually happen in the woods when you're carrying the lever gun? And because of that, why not a 44 mag? Less...
How it currently sits with the 5" barrel and slide. Well actually back in pieces now. All that is left to install is the plunger tube, waiting on the staking tool.
Been able to run all of the safety checks and currently all pass, has taken fitting/adjusting bit by bit.
Now I'm thinking through...
Update, didn't like how the slide/barrel fit the frame i think the lower lugs were over cut so have a 5" on the way, if its the same i will then i will decide if I want to file the frame.
Other than that i have fit the trigger and grip safety
So this weekend the plan is to install the internals...
