      Bonded Bullets for Hunting

      Bullet choice would be dependent on caliber / cartridge , quarry , expected impact range etc. Assuming FL / AL hunting unless across a field / clear cut with a magnum bonded isn't needed IMHO . Gamekings are good deer bullet , tend to separete on tougher stuff usually shoot very accurately . Nos...

      Stolen Valor

      You seem surprised that a progressive politican would not let facts get in the way of the narative . It's all about idealogical purity & creating a new society . The propaganda machine will hammer us 24/7 on the never ending virtues of the new order .

      Day 2 reloading for Ruger American Ranch Rifle 7.62x39

      I use AA1680 in 357 Max & use either the Rem 7 1/2 or CCI 450 . I was told the CCI 400 was for lesser pressure rounds like 22 Hornet . Am loading for a single-shot with 180 - 200gr & pushing it for almost 35 Rem performance .

      Most comfortable 1911 grips

      Since I got no idea what you consider comfortable I'll tell you what works for me . Besides usable sights & a decent trigger being able to control / recover & insure multiple hits are IMHO mandatory . I'm old & was trained on slab / service grips . While trigger control is # 1 , a firm...

      Cast vs forged

      The Dan Wesson's are hard to beat . Many consider them a " poor man's Ed Brown " . I have a Valor that I like & have left pretty much stock .

      Best place to order 9mm 1911 Mags?

      This is probably old info as I haven't really been buying stuff for a while . Checkmate & Metalform used to make about 80% of the OEM mags . I don't know if that's still true . Colt mags are made by Checkmate . MecGar used to make Nighthawks mags . The Wilson 47D is vastly overated , expensive &...

      175 SMK .308 Win.

      A 1 in 10" twist will stabilize the longer 175's better than a 1 in 12" . Many 30 cal guys chose 190 or 200's for 1K work . At 100yds a 1 in 12 " & screw the MK's ...they expensive . A Gameking FB will suffice & is cheaper . You're much closer to BR shooting than HiPower even @ 200yds . BR guys...

      175 SMK .308 Win.

      Privi is boxer primed which means a single flash hole , berdan primed has 2 or 3 . Privi brass I've seen has been good quality with machined case heads , drilled flash holes & uniformed primer pockets just like the more expensive Norma or Lapua cases . IMHO the 175 won't outshoot the 168 until...

      175 SMK .308 Win.

      SOLD S&W 14-5 target 38spl revolver

      Well you did start off asking a K for something in my mind that even if pristine & with all the factory original stuff wouldn't touch a K . Asking that at least have clear detailed pics so a buyer can really evaluate . Never mind that it's an ex-LE & has Hogue rubber grips , has a pretty good...

      Cast vs forged

      Bill Ruger introduced the gun industry to precision investment casting . Even the Ruger M 77 bolt action recievers are cast . When done right cast is as good . As far as 1911's go I worry more about is a frame dimensionally correct & holes have been located correctly . It all comes down to...

      Meet the 30.06

      Even your beloved 308 is overkill for anything in FL . If the 308 was limited to '06 pressures it wouldn't even be in the same ballpark . Bigger case = more energy = more velocity= more killing power at a further range . All things a hunter considers . For paper-punchin' @ known range , & / or...

      Meet the 30.06

      Like many cartridges of it's era , it kills better than its ballistics look on paper . Suprisingly some think it kicks too hard . What I love is its versatility .
