The 350 Swift A-Frame is the most accurate bullet that I've shot from my 1895SBL. Most bullets shoot good but the A-Frames shoot great. The group below has been repeated many times.

I'm not too sure about the difference but I even went through the trouble of knocking the primers out of every case. I thought that if I left the primers in they would say it was "mixed metal" and pay a lower price. Either way - now I'm happy to don't all that I have to our club. In the past...

My experience certainly stopped me from saving my brass. LOL

I saved all of my exhausted, high-end brass for some time. All the brass was deprimed and very clean. I lugged it down to the scrap yard to see what I could get. They put my brass on a giant scale that weighs pallets full of scrap. Naturally, they came up with a weight that was less than my...

I'm told that some of the loads in the Barnes reloading manual (for the 1895 levergun) will reach 40,000PSI. I used their maximum load under the 250gr mono bullet without issue but shooting too many of them can't be good for the rifle.

Arguably the finest hunting bullet ever made for the 44mag or 444Marlin. I have 50 Nosler 250gr .429 Partition bullets left from my original stash. Sold my 44mag and will no longer need these fine bullets. As you probably know, these bullets haven't been available from Nosler for quite some...

Spotter shot or not, still very impressive. 👍

Ernie - Some of the things you've accomplished are (almost) unbelievable! Congrats!!

I don't normally expect to see such tight groups and low ES when loading .090" off the rifling. Good job loading/shooting. You may as well turn your range pass back in - looks like you're done for the season. LOL

Congratulations on taking a fine red stag. I took my stag with 160AB from a 7WSM. The stag dropped at the shot and never moved again. My guide said that it was the fastest kill that he'd ever seen.

Woah - that's a rather disturbing incident. Someone was watching over you on that day. Good to hear that it ended as well as it did.

Long before I became a LEO, I worked in a LGS. Back then the tiny SS Budachowski (sp) pistol in 25ACP became very popular as an off-duty gun for our NYC PD customers. That was until 3 officers got involved with a deranged man while they were out to dinner with their wives. Two officers opened...

I've said many times that the small pistol that you do carry is much more effective than the big pistol that you leave home because it's just a PITA to carry. IMO the Kahr PM9 is hard to beat for a totally concealable pistol with enough punch to get the job done.

The disease only lasts until these kids have to work for a living, pay taxes, buy homes and manage to make it all work while watching others get everything handed to them with the tax dollars paid by others. I've seen many of these liberal college kids get a rude awakening and begin to...

If the case was too long, the mouth could hit the crimp portion of the die and force the case into the bullet as it was being seated. This, in turn, could collapse the shoulder. Just one possibility.

LaPierre wasn't the only one benefitting from the misuse (abuse) of our money. There are several high-ranking officials that have got to go. And exactly who authorized LaPierre's $17 million severance package? The whole thing is outrageous.

It's pretty hard to determine what pressure level that you're at with a 45-70 levergun. As much as I like fast bullets, I keep my 45-70 ammo at my self-imposed limits. The 400gr class bullets are not shot over 1,700fps and the 300gr class bullets are not shot over 2,000fps. I've read plenty of...

" Getting old ain't for wimps ". LOL

For whatever reason, my 1895SBL only shoots "OK" with hardcast bullets. Sometimes I get a decent group while other times the same load will not group as well. Switching to jacketed bullets or monos solved the problem. The rifle shoots very well with most jacketed bullets and any number of...

By the time the battery in the new Garmin needs to be replaced, one of two things will happen: 1. The unit will be so outdated that you will want one of the 10 newer released chronographs anyway, or 2. You can look on YouTube and there will be a dozen videos showing you how to replace the...
