Re: Amazon Has " Some" Reloading Equipment
I found a FCD for my .300 Blackout, and I didn't have to pay through the nose for it. I can’t tell you how many rounds I loaded on one of these. But they came in a cardboard box in those days.

Re: The Best Gun
I agree. This old Ruger is a prime example.
I don’t know how many rounds I’ve put through it but shooting it was like eating popcorn....a little bit won’t do! The only issue I ever had with it was that the front sight was just too short. But it would not hurt my feelings if this was my only gun.

I don't actually know how this happened, but I am missing a cartridge guide screw on the left side on my .44 Mag Rossi 92.
It hasn't interfered with function, but it should still be there. Can anyone tell me the best place to buy one?

But I am almost always armed with a .357 revolver. So I do get to shoot a lot of targets of opportunity with it.
I probably could have killed this pig with a .22 but the .357 makes a very impressive entry wound.

Re: Size
Having shot a lot of critters with both. I think a heavier bigger bullet kills better at a given velocity. For example, a .357 at 900 feet per second is not the same as a .454 at 900 feet per second. Bullet shape and composition matters too. However, a .357 is pretty deadly when you push it hard. Mo...
