Re: Old thread at another web-sight: Yooper Assault Rifle.
Hi All,
Yes, the rifle actually works. I'd seen it a while back on a site for underhammer rifles.

Re: OT - Any 35 Whelen OR Remington pump rifle experience?
Hi All,
I've got a bolt rifle in .358 Norma that I handload down to Whelen ballistics. Great little rifle....kills like Thor's Hammer.

Re: totally OT But what kind of cell phone do you guys use
Hi All,
I got a Trac Phone LG 420....check for a "double" phone. When I buy minutes, my phone automatically double s the minutes. Cost me $19.95 with 150 minutes included. It's got more bells and whistles than I know how to use.

OT--Classic Lee Loader
Hi All,
Anyone know if the old Classic Lee Loader in 9X19 mm sizes the entire case length? I'm thinking the rifle dies are neck sizers.

Hi All,
I've considered the 460 Rowland, but if my wife cannot handle it, then I've got a ballistic duplicate for my revolver, and I can buy a lot of ammunition components for $300.

Re: OT--45 ACP Heavy Loads
Hi All, From what I understand, the Combat Commander is all steel....although I don't have a magnet to test it. I'm looking at Paco's heavy bullet at somewhat faster than normal 45 ACP velocities. This would not be used for anything approaching frequent use. Load development, and occational practice...

OT--45 ACP Heavy Loads
Hi All,
I have a Colt Combat Commander I'd like to load with some heavy ammo. I'm pondering barrel length, and see a standard barrel installed on the Commander. Is there a problem with the extra barrel length sticking out front?

Hi All,
Yep....you could shoot roundball sneeze loads at soda cans or Linebaugh/Seyfried 345 gr WFN at cape buff with the same rifle. I tried to find one when they first came out, but they were about $150 more than a 30-06 at that time.

Here in West Virginia we have bears (our state animal), so they're not expanding their territory, but they're increasing in numbers. One was recently seen within fifty feet of the back side of the local Wal~Mart here in Preston County.
