I've heard these CO2 versions have very little movement from recoil

True...if ya miss, it's your fault! Ask me how I know.... LOL!

But like ya said, still havin' fun.

You got A LOT of air pistol for $200 is right! That would be a 10 meter target pistol. Velocities usually run around 600fps for those. C-T-C will be less than the diameter of the pellet if you do your part. (The trick is to do that consistently over 60 shots! :lol: ) A very, very nice find. -Stretch

Another grand old caliber.

The 44 Special is still very, very capable.

215gr. LSWC over 7.0 gr. of WW231. Somewhere around 1000 fps, and very, very accurate. Comfortable enough to shoot all day. I wouldn't feel undergunned with this load for social work, either. At the other end of the spectrum: 250gr. Cast Performance WFNGC. 19.8gr. of H110 in a Ruger Blackhawk. This ...

Good luck!

Generators make life SO much nicer after a big blow.

We lost power for 11 days after the Ice Storm of '98.

Got a generator about halfway through - BIG improvement!

My older son and I were talking a couple of weeks ago. One of his coworkers called him one evening and said that his roommate was broken down on I-95. "Can you go and get him?" "Yeah - no problem, where is he?" "Northbound near the Sydney exit." "Okay." So he ...

I'm a big fan of quality German made spring guns. I agree the true magnum guns generally shoot better with heavier pellets. I have tons of assorted brands and weights of pellets I've bought up over the years trying to find the most accurate in various rifles. Yes to all of that! 8) I prefer the poi...

I might have to acquire a Ruger SA in 357 to try that 172 gr. offering.

THAT would have impressive terminal ballistics on game!

Pellet guns are great for helping keep shooting skills honed -- the springers in particular because they so sensitive to hold and follow-through. Yep. Position, hold, follow-through. The magnum springers will mercilessly show your shortcomings! :lol: :lol: -Stretch

Great, great shootin'!

Leverguns are addicting so eventually you'll wind up with both.....

Don't forget the 41 Mag, 22lr, and maybe a couple of wildcats.

An excellent combination. :) Mine's quite accurate with the old Remington 200gr. CoreLokt factory load. (I still have a couple of hundred of these, I think.) You'll need nothing else for Eastern hunting or hogs. Antelope and like that, something with a flatter trajectory for sure. I'd feel more comf...

Yep those fancy bullets are all overrated IMO! 170 grn Corelokts will do it every time for me. I gotta agree with others on this thread - the CoreLokt is THE standard in a big game bullet. It's been around for 90 years or so, but it was done right. Some bullets have a better ballistic coefficient, ...

I cannot help but crack up at the way some people are embarrassed about the prep for a colonoscopy. I've only had one of them. From the moment i walked into the hospital, everyone asked, "Did you drink all of the prep?" "Yes, I did." So finally we get to the nice young lady who ...

I see your point now. That bullet probably isn't ideal at those velocities. I think it would work, though! :D I worked up a moose load for my Blackhawk - 19.5 gr. of H110 pushing a Cast Performance 250 gr. WFNGC. Out of a rifle, I daresay it would kill ANYTHING in North America out to 100 yards or s...

That 357 load at near 2,000fps is no doubt a hunting load if accurate, and right near the 35 Rem! Yep. No problem for deer or black bear with that load. The 357 in a rifle is nothing to sneeze at. Would I use a 41 210 jhp for bears? No but I wouldn't hesitate for deer. Really?!? I'd have absolutely...

as far as small boat navigation goes, Frank Worsley, Shackleton's navigator is still mentioned with awe among navigators. As well he should be.

Listen to Scott on this. If Remington had lost this case at trial (and failed on appeal) then yes, a precedent in civil law would have been set. But Remington didn't lose at trial. Someone decided the cost of settling was preferable to the cost of a drawn out litigation. This is standard practice i...

Lube buildup in the dies can be a problem. I have to clean the seating and crimping dies periodically. Jacketed bullets are easier to load in a progressive press because there are fewer issues, I think. No lube buildup, and the case mouth flare doesn't have to be quite as wide. I found a 230gr.JHP l...

I had a 10mm that was like that. One brand of brass had a SLIGHTLY thicker wall thickness than the other I was using. It would NOT reliably chamber with lead bullets. If I remember correctly, it would fit in the Midway gauge for 10mm okay, though. I use that brand for jacketed, and the other brand f...

It looks like that Hornady bullet might be as good as the old CoreLokt.

It's true - if you need the medicine, take the medicine.

My 10-5 is not nearly as nice as yours. A previous owner tried to reblue it or something, and just destroyed the original finish. It shoots beautifully to point of aim with 158 gr LSWC, though.

Those are nice guns.

I have a 10-5 and a 10-6.

Both shoot to point of aim with decent triggers.

My 10-5 is not nearly that nice - somebody DESTROYED the finish with a solvent

As I've alluded to before, consolidation of ammunition manufacturers is NOT in in the average citizen's best interest. And just maybe they had some quiet, behind the scenes lobbying influence to get the CHEAP offshore ammo banned to maintain the "shortage?" I don't trust the bas$tard$ an i...
