I wouldn't hold my breath. The Miroku 95s never were all that popular (I do have two). The chances of them taking on a Rusky 95 are slim to none. Even less likely is that they get the cartridge feeding right with the stripper clip guide. And it takes more than just the guide. The lips of the magazin...

I have a 44sp on the new smaller frame that I really like. Liked it enough that I ordered a 45 convert thinking that it was also on the same frame. Nope, the frame is significantly larger than the 44, not as large as my super Blackhawk but larger. So I'm in the same boat. I agree that 23K sounds pla...

Well it sorta already is near the same. Only difference is that the RH got under the wire by being designated a "handgun"; the shockwave and the TAC14 got by being called "other firearm". I don't know how they got away with that but I got one before they (ATF) changed their minds...

"And, no it has no real practical application, but I couldn't care less. It's fun!"

I have one in 44M and the only "practical application" I see requires a $200 tax stamp (i.e., a stock)

That last comment hits the point. The dimpling only serves a purpose in the subsonic realm; it does no good at supersonic (~1150fps+ depending on altitude) speeds. Another "old wives tale" is the wasp waist which is only has any positive affect in the high subsonic to trans-sonic range, th...

Hey York, sounds like you are trying to kill the winter tourist trade :lol: I fly and WY and the wind certainly makes it not the best place for that, but I'm not going to Worland for the cure. That place is too dang hot in the summer. Of course pretty much every place is getting too hot in the summe...

Had one exactly like it setting on the kitchen table on the farm where I grew up. As a tike I thought it was pretty cool...and very practical. Thanks for the reminder.

Sounds like a good reason to make the trip. Have a great holiday season my friend.

Charles How can that happen. An out-of-stater most definitely can't purchase a handgun. If that were the case I could drive to the mother ship in Sydney (which I wouldn't anyway) and buy one. I can't do that either. The knucklehead literally said that, since there is no store in WY, they can't sell ...

I think you are right. I guess my decades long business relationship with Cabelas has ended. The next sound they will hear is their Cabelas card going through my shredder. It's not like you can't buy all their Chinese made junk at a hundred other places.

Leverluver

No Bass Pro either

I have built up a significant number of points with Cabelas and wanted to purchase a handgun they had on sale. I was informed that they will not ship to an FFL dealer, only to a local Cabelas. They said they would for a rifle or shotgun but not a handgun. Now there is no law that restricts them from...

Wow, not even muzzle loader rifles? I didn't know the guy on the grassy knoll was using a flintlock :roll: I was working in Stoke on Trent I believe in 96, right after England's Sandy Hook. A friend that was a local had a real nice collection of handguns. This was just before the big "roundup&q...

It was cool to see one of those again. The revolver that shot them was a later evolution of the fanner fifty. Now I miss mine :lol: I had a crude copy of a civil war musket that shot ~3/8" round cork from the explosion of the cap. Surprisingly that cork left the barrel at a pretty good clip; at...

Yup shootin shells or at least mine shot them. A spring was in the case and you pushed the bullet into the case, compressing the spring. The impact of the hammer released the spring and sent the plastic bullet flying. You could put sticky caps on the base of the case so it did go bang, if you wanted...

I have one of the Browning rifles in 30-40. I wish I had one of the carbines also. My rifle is very accurate and the 30-40 is terrific as a cast bullet cartridge. That long neck holds a cast very well. I haven't shot mine in a while but your post got my juices flowing again and I will have to remedy...

There is no doubt that truckers have a much harder time, with all the regs, than in the past. Still, you can tell a pro from one just out of the Acme truck driver school from a mile back. 40 tons weaving in and out of their lane or over the brapp strips scares the heck out of me. Throw in the spaced...

All through the afternoon and evening traffic was heavy but moving nicely from Casper south. The problems started between Douglas and Orin Junction. After that Katy bar the door. I laughed when the news guy was basically asking why WY didn't have the infrastructure to make both north and south lanes...

There were a few folks heading south that were keeping an eye on WYDOT cameras and following facebook and such and they said that emptying Glendo was more than a 4 hour affair to the point of choking I-25 down. Doesn't like fun to me.

We got gipped a little here in Casper from wildfire smoke and we had a single long thin cirrus cloud that tamed it down some. Still a hoot, especially on the plains where you can see the shadow coming at you at Mach 2+. With the smoke I only made out a couple of planets and one star during totality....

I knew folks that ran p-dog "safaris" and I always laughed at pics of them (the hunters) holding up p-dogs they had shot at some ridiculous range. The range part was fine, I was laughing at the holding part. I wouldn't handle one with a pitch fork. The Pink Mist folks quit coming to the Gl...

I don't think that conventional bullets (jacketed with lead core) would be any issue. I would go carefully if they were mono or semi-mono unless the bullets were specifically dimensioned for the barrel. I did not have the gun myself so was not able to pressure test it (and doubt that the customer wo...

Leverluver

Pretty much agree with others as to a throating reamer. The problem is the SAAMI spec which calls for very little leade (the taper from chamber dimension to the barrel dimension). American manufacturers have over time become a little more lax and made the dimensions more compatible with the componen...

Lyman offers a gas check seater doo-dad for their lube-sizer. It is less than ten bucks. Every place was out of stock when I wanted one so I made my own. The thing is simple and you could probably make one from a scrap of wood or plastic that would last for a long time. Jack Ditto, made my seater d...

Until the plague came through, I had a lot of dogs that tore the heck out of my property.

That Ruger is a nice pistol. My shooting buddy has one and he knows I'm a 44 SP nut so we have taken it out several times. Honestly I can't say we have found it's sweet spot yet as far as a load but we are getting there. I did pin gauge the throats and found them to be very uniform at just a tad ove...

In a lot of states, any so called "threatening" equipment is illegal. My brother sent me a cool bumper hitch receptacle protector that was a fake claymore mine. It was funnier than heck but I found out that in about 45 states it was illegal to have it on the vehicle. It seems the buttercup...

His process is Patented. Or was, when he Died I do not know what happened to the Patent. In the book is a copy of the Patent. It could be expired now too. I was skeptical of the "patent" thing when I read it in the book. I started trying the tape when I read it in an NRA publication which...

Leverluver

I'm curious as to why heating the tape would be needed...does it 'fuse' it somehow...? Sorta shrinks the tape onto the bullet. I've tried it long ago....it works well but almost as annoying as regular paper patching. Talking smokeless here; not the more fun replication of black powder era cartridges.

Terrific rifle. I was always partial to the Winchester style but admit that the first time I picked up the Marlin cowboy I was very pleasantly surprised. A very nice balance of the right amount of weight to absorb recoil in a still very portable package. Doubt that the combination could ever be beat...

It is an interesting little cartridge. They're facility is just 1/2 mile west of my shop.

Great find !!! I really like the 348. Looks like it was attempting to closely replicate the 250gr silvertip nose (dang fine shape).

Good to know. From the ones I did test, I would believe their idea of what is or is not proper for a particular rifle. They are intelligently conservative yet still produce the performance. BTW, due to the fast speeds of the powders than produce the performance, the 45-70 is one of the most touchy c...

Used to be in the "industry". I pressure tested lots of ammo including the 45-70 (a personal favorite). No one makes a 28K factory load. They are either well below it or well above it. Garrett is a very sane +P load. Others (not named intentionally) that are well known are well above Garre...
