That was a load of hogs.

Lastmohecken

Killed this one with my Browning 86, 4570 a few years ago. This one must have been a domestic hog that got loose or something.

It's been 30 years ago, but I think I remember having the actual hammer on a Super Blackhawk break on me. And If I recall correctly, I just called Ruger and they sent me a new one.

Lastmohecken

That's a new one for me. I have not heard of Ruger's transfer bars ever breaking. The New Vaquero's are a little different, than older blackhawks and Super Blackhawks, or single sixes. I have owned them all, more or less, and never had it happen, so far. One problem I did have regarding transfer bar...

Jared, my hat is off to you: "Currently I am loading 9.5x60R for my 1887 Mauser and the very expensive Ch4D dies don’t really work for my rifle so I have had to make changes on how I load it. I need to make more brass for it but that is a labor of love." I never found a Mauser in this cha...

Impressive for sure! I may want to try that bullet in my newly acquired Henry 360 Buckhammer, when I finally get enough stuff to reload for it.

Any idea what the feet per second was out of that 24" barrel?

Lastmohecken

My most frustrating round to handload was the 450 Alaskan. I think I needed to thin the necks out, and I never took it that far. Still, I managed to load for it. As far as rifle rounds go, I loved loading for the 375 HH Mag, and my 350 Remington Mag. The 30/30 was the first rifle round I loaded for,...

last year, I killed several deer with my recurve bows, and crossbow also. But this year, I have not killed a deer with any kind of archery, yet. But I am almost tagged out, anyway. I am tagged out on bucks, with one taken with my Browning BAR semi-auto in .308 win at about 150 yards or so, on the fi...

I have a lot of Elmer's books. I read his writings all of my younger life, especially. I still, base a lot of my firearm's choices on his teachings.

I find the 360 very interesting as well. I can see running it as a black powder target cartridge with cast and or paper-patched boolits. I have a lot of cast bullets on hand, i might give that a try. They are not gas check, however. I wonder how fast I could push them before they started leading th...

Actually, I just picked it up, this morning. I had the shop set it back for me, yesterday, but I had forgotten my billfold, so I had to go back today. He gave me a free box of Remington 200gr roundnose bullets for it. I have not shot it yet, but I did want to know for sure that the gun would cycle t...

I certainly didn't need it, but I bought a new Henry 360 Buckhammer, today. I like the idea of this caliber, and I am not one to very often try new cartridges. But being a 35 caliber fan, and leveraction fan, I decided to give it a try. Arkansas recently changed their laws, and modified the muzzlelo...

I kind of like, but I don't know about the price.

A face cord is generally 4ft high x 8ft long x about 16 inch long on stove wood length. There are 3 facecords to a Cord. I cut my own wood. But wood in general cost about 50 to maybe 80 dollars a face cord here in Arkansas. I cut my own wood and I am not sure I save or have saved much as opposed to ...

I guess I could have tagged out by now, but I let everything walk, so far. I have been bowhunting several times, before the regular gun opener. They are coming out and usually crossing in a low saddle. Tonight they were playing around at edge of field in saddle. 3 does and a buck, but I couldn't tel...

Here's my latest story, still on going. I bought a pair of custom boots from JK Boots in Spokane, Washington. They shipped a pallet load of boots out on September 6th, my boots being on that pallet. I get a tracking number, and an estimated deliver date of Sept. 10th. The boots left Spokane on the 6...

I have found that most everything said so far, has been true, but not always. I will use the 1911, 45acp for this example. I have read and heard all of the theories on long term compression vs hard repeated use, regarding magazine springs, for years. I have shot competition off and on for 40 years, ...

The BB gun I used all during my childhood was a Daisy Haythorn, at least it I think it said Haythorn on the receiver in big letters. I remember it had a plastic stock, instead of wood, but it seemed like it was a little bigger (longer) then the Red Ryder and seemed to shoot harder. I killed a lot of...

I have a polished stainless Ruger Old Army, bought new, many years ago. I think it was limited run. I have always loaded it with 40gr of FFF behind a roundball. It shoots pretty good up to about 40 yards. Accuracy seems to fall off past that, some. I use a felt Ox yoke wonder wad between powder and ...

We use Red Ryders for moving cattle, sometimes, as gentle persuasion for getting them to move or change direction on occasion. Sometimes it actually works pretty well.

De-escallation is a big topic of discussion these days in law enforcement. One of the problems with CCW carriers is that they don't generally carry anything to project intermediate force....so it is the gun or nothing. This isn't that big a problem though becasue its only appropriate to go to deadl...

Dickens is a hero, and undoubtedly saved no telling how many lives. From what I understand he took a rest against a pole to steady his aim, at some point in the fracas. He made good on his first shot, and that would have really helped. I don't think he was ever actually under fire, himself. Dickens ...

WOW! On that second scenario, It doesn't seem to make sense. With camera's everywhere, these days. The fact that the bad guys didn't have masks on, and one of them already just up and killed the woman at the beginning, I don't see the bad guys leaving any witnesses alive. But at any rate, this would...

I shot NRA Hunter Pistol back in the 1980's, a lot. I started with a Smith K 22 rimfire with a 6 inch barrel and a Smith L Frame in .357. Everyone shot iron sights. I also used a 5 inch 1911 in 45 acp. Later on I switched to a Smith and Wesson Model 41 for .22 class and eventually a TC Contended in ...

The Lightweight Commander is my favorite carry gun. I usually carry a Colt Lightweight Commander of some flavor. I own a few. A Lightweight Commander has been my go to carry gun for 30 years or more.

I have the RCBS 450AK dies. Work fine for me. Not sure where you'd get them these days though. This is my case exactly. I have RCBS dies, also. They came with the rifle, I purchased.

You know, I think I may be needing to turn my case necks, also. How did you turn your case necks down? Do you have a lathe, or do you use another method? I bought the little Forster hand tool for it. It's quick work. You need to get the right mandrel/pilot for .458 cal when you order. My necks were...

I think odds of finding yourself in a position to need to help a police officer would be rare but does happen more often than one might think. I would not hesitate, to help an officer in need but at the same time, I would want to be very careful about what I did and how I did it, because the risks o...

I used to own a TC Contender in 45/70, and while it could be shot well, it had very heavy recoil, so IMHO a 45/70 derringer would be terrible.

My inexpensive shooting load (well, less expensive anyway) was the Speer Hot-Cor #2478 (350 grain JFP) over 66 grains of IMR 3031 lit by a WLR primer. I would final crimp with a Lee FCD that was made up specifically for the 450 AK. I'll have to look up the particulars but I think COAL was 2.78"...

The 1911 is and has been my CCW gun, most often carried for many many years. I prefer the Colt Lightweight Commander to any other models for CCW.

I have read it in print and I tend to agree, the more you shoot, especially if you shoot a lot, the more likely that you will or have had an AD. Which is one reason that above all, you never let the muzzle point at anything you are not willing to shoot. When I was a teenager, I practiced quick draw ...

Well, I will say that a Pre-64 Winchester model 94, 30/30 is about my favorite knock around always gun, and IMHO has no peer, when it comes to carrying and fast handling and fits in a saddle scabbord about as good as anything, but I must admit, I would feel a little under gunned against one of the b...

Well.... little bit of drift....and, I'm going to stick my butt out so everyone can kick it, but here goes.

GI sights are really not that bad, I like them on some of my 45's. Night sights really are not worth a stuff for much in my opinion. Adjustable BoMar style rear sights are nice on a 1911 for target shooting and general use, with a black post up front, dovetailed is good. My favorite and the one that...

It will be interesting to see if there are any bugs in the early production guns. I wouldn't rely on gun magazines to give me an honest review. I wouldn't rely on the gun rags either to give us a really honest evaluation. They are mostly just paid mouth pieces for the gun manufactures. I do hope Ru...

Looks good, I have one pretty much like it, but mine is not as nice as that one. Mine is lashed to the grab handle in my side by side and a pre-64 Winchester 30/30 lives there year around.

I have killed deer with the compound bow, crossbow, and recurve bow.

Guys, I have dies and a lot of brass that I have saved over the years, but I have never loaded for the .30-30. I shoot factory loads and I prefer 170 gr soft points. The one load that I really miss is the old 170 gr Winchester Silvertip. It had an aluminum cap over the soft point. It stood up well ...

Yep, my guess is $400 to $500 and in my opinion, actually handling the gun and working the lever, etc. would determine the final call.

I love the A5 Browning, which the Model 11 is a loose copy of. Nothing wrong with the Model 11 that I know of. I do like the magazine cutoff on the actual A5's, which I don't think the Model 11 has, but it's not a deal breaker. I own several A5's and one FN made in the 20's. It was hard used before ...
