Re: The Whisperizer MkII Hollow Point Die

Factory hollow points are about 30%+ higher in cost and don't shoot any better than standard round nose. I have also never had good luck with consistent expansion with most factory hollow points. The exception is CCI Stingers which seem to explode, good for vermin bad for table fare. I have a Marlin...

The Whisperizer MkII Hollow Point Die

Ran across this on evilbay the other day http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... 545wt_1165. Made in Norway. I've used one of Paco's tools for years, just wondered if anyone had tried this one.

Re: Notes on Loading .38 Special Wadcutters

You make a very good point about crimping and not seating the wadcutter flush with the case mouth. Several years ago I lost a very nice K38 to a 148gr wadcutter "range reload". Powder charge was 3.0 gr of Bullseye. Whom ever was doing the reloading was seating the wadcutters flush with the...

Re: OT: Colt Defender

Owned, past tense. After 500 rounds I still had FTF and FTE problems with it. VERY sensitive to grip and ammo choice. Very firm grip and +P ammo were the only things that seemed to work consistently. Lubing the barrel and or the slide didn't seem to make any difference. I've seen more Kimbers in thi...

Re: OT, S&W 60

I got rid of my last M60. The only load it would shoot to POA was Winchester 158 HPLSWC +P and that is something you definitely want to check if you are going to carry it. Everything else I tried landed 2"+ away. My Model 36 with 3" barrel and adjustable sights doesn't seem to have the sam...

Acurizer with Agulia subsonic ammo

Has anyone had any experience with using the Acurizer with Agulia 60 gr SS ammo. So far all I seem to do is drive the bullet down into the shell casing. I have Paco's older model tool. Any info appreciated. :?

Re: Guide gun for elk

I have a 2X pistol scope on my Guide gun and it works perfect. First time I turned loose a Garrett 420 Hammerhead off the bench I was very glad I wasn't using a conventional scope mount. I'd still be wearing it. Recently picked up a Bushnell 3200 Elite 2X6 pistol scope. I'm going to give it a try bu...

If you buy into the parallel universe theory you wouldn't come back to the same universe you left because you would have changed who that gun or money or whatever would have gone to so you have a new set of variables with different outcomes. Not to mention the energy it would take, the entire energy...

Better yet would be Rush and Glenn Beck doing a tag team on Dumb and Dumber. That would be better than a nude goat ropin'. :roll:

Re: what gun you wish

Many but the worst of the lot was a Belgium Browning SuperPosed 20 ga. in Diana Grade back in 1968. I gave an ex-Navy buddy $250 for it including the hand fitted case. Sold it to pay medical bills for my daughter's birth. :cry:

Re: rumors of new savage M 99

I would love to see them bring the 99 back as well. I have to believe with investment casing and CNC they could be economical. I'd take a perch belly stock and octogon barrel in 30/30 and straight stock A models in 250-3000, 260 Rem, 7mm-08, (already have one in 308), 358 Win, and if we are going to...
